Cadet Samms reporting in.
This report pertains to my induction flight with a number of [LN]- pilots and in particular Alan Polstari.
Whilst being shown the systems that I, as an ex-LPI officer were unaware of, we spotted an unknown bogey in Virginia.
Instructions to stop were ignored an the bogey ran for the New Hampshire jump hole with the two of us in pursuit.
The ship jumped to New Hampshire and continued running. As I was in a light fighter I managed to overhaul him, but cd's proved ineffective. I subsequently overhauled the ship again, again cd's and jettisoned mines proved ineffective and they jumped to Bremen.
The ship was a Freelancer IFF, Order Sekhmet Bomber carrying Cardamine and Artifacts flying under the name of Bart Bavaria,

Lt. Cmdr. Redding reporting in,
Earlier today, the xeno cell known as "Born.To.****" launched a major two-pronged terrorist attack at Planet Houston & Fort Bush. A forlorn contractor was able to take care of the attackers at Planet Houston with some assistance from the 6th Fleet and an LPI Officer Johansson requested assistance when the same group launched a second simultaneous attack at Fort Bush. It seems that when they were outgunned at Planet Houston, they left one of their members there to distract us while they escaped to get word out to a secondary team to launch a another attack at Fort Bush. There was plenty of assistance at Fort Bush but we suffered heavy casualties, myself, Ensign Edison and a bounty hunter were shot down attempting to stop them but I was able to eject on time. As of right now, I am not sure whether Officer Johansson has been able to contain the situation and receive help, so any further information to be taken from the LPI- regarding the situation at Fort Bush.
Sincerely,
Lt. Commander Daniel Redding, 1st Fleet, [LN]

SUBJECT: Unioner Blockade of Bering Jump-Gate
ENCRYPTION: HIGH
PRIORITY: HIGH
This is Ensign Tanathyn, reporting in from Planet Houston's local navy base.
I'm sweaty, I'm tired, and the stitches on my head are throbbing. Initially I was slated for a standard four-point sector patrol around Planet Manhatten, keeping smugglers away a day at a time, but a priority call for support came over the neural-net about something going on in the Bering system; Unioners or some such making trouble. Got into contact with some fellow First Fleet folk and, strangely enough, some Forlorn mercs that seemed keen on assisting. Suffice to say, I wish they could have warned me that the bastards were literally sitting right outside the jump-gate, just waiting for hapless naval reinforcements to come in and get slaughtered. A little bit of fancy flying and some calculated hits later, I check my instruments to register three to four Union contacts on my scope. Two Rheinland Bismarck-class battleships, two Arbeiter-class Heavy Fighters, and a Hel-class Cruiser.
It took ten minutes of chaotic chatter and organization before the Forlorn mercs decided to surprise everyone in the field with a NEMP. It wiped out the fighters but .. apparently their aim was either off or that was just a faulty weapon of mass-destruction because the capital ships were still live and kicking. Though it did the job of forcing them away from the gate, allowing reinforcements to freely jump in without hassle. We proceeded to chase and chip away at the 'Westfalen' and 'Germania', the two remaining battleships - PAUSE
Oh, I forgot to mention that they had cloaking drives. So it's no surprise to me they got so close without being detected for so long, if it weren't for their haphazard decision to shoot at a passing by First Fleet, I don't think we would have gotten the call at all.
RESUME
We chased the battleships through the trade lane leading towards Freeport 2, which for some strange reason they were trying to dock and interface with. It didn't matter though, the shockwaves from our Nova torpedoes were enough to jostle and disrupt the lanes, preventing them from being used effectively. It was touch and go, the longest ten minutes of my life, as all I could see was the fire and smoke coming from the Upholder's wings and ailerons. My new gunner proved adept at maintaining fire suppression, Ensign Athams, so all I had to do was maneuver, evade, and pray a lucky barrage didn't come tearing into my cockpit.
Eventually they made it to Freeport 2 and my god, the amount of fire flying everywhere reminded me of the Battle of Leeds all over again, just chaos everywhere. Forlorn were screaming in our ears whilst the rest of us were just trying to stay alive and do our jobs, there was even a SWAT fighter on station; whatever hole they crawled out of I wasn't about to complain. It was just back and forth, back and forth, weaving in and out through asteroids to avoid potentially fatal barrages and just the click-click of Athams releasing torpedo after torpedo after torpedo. More came out of the wood work but I couldn't pay attention to them all.
We won though, forcing those bastards back into their hiding hole. I think we lost a cruiser and a First Fleet fighter but I can't really recall anymore. I'm tired and just exhausted. I'm honestly surprised I made it through that. My hands are slick with ash and disintegrated metal fragments. My Upholder's going to be out of action for a while. Avenger's still active so I can at least still maintain my daily patrols.
That's it Command.

ENCRYPTION: Medium
PRIORITY: Medium
Lt. Cmdr. Redding reporting in,
This report will seem awefully similar to Ensign Tarathyn's report. Essentially, we got word that there was a build up of Unioner forces in Bering, it seems that the 6th Fleet was already deployed but underequipped to deal with the threat which included a force of 2 battleships, 1 cruiser and several fighter escorts parked at the Texas jumpgate at Bering. Upon arriving at Bering I had immediately taken fire, however there were friendlies from the Forlorn Hope PMC nearby who had arranged for a nuclear device, a NEMP to be deployed on scene.
Approximately 20 minutes later, we deployed the NEMP, destroyed the cruiser and all the fighter escort, nearly 60% of the enemy forces. Enemy battleships were heavily damaged and were in retreated and additional 1st Fleet bomber squadrons had also arrived. We then spent the better part of the day mopping the system up of Unioner & Battlegroup Harmony's forces at Freeport 2. After inflicting enough enemy casualties, they had retreated and docked with the Freeport. Unfortunately, due to heavy defences around the area and the fact that we were low on ammo and badly knocked up, our forces called it a day and returned to Texas for debriefing.
Sincerely,
Lt. Commander Daniel Redding, 1st Fleet, [LN]

Lt. Cmdr. Redding reporting in,
Last night there was a major incursion by a joint Unioner and Coalition force comprised of atleast 8 snubcraft and 3 cruiser class ships. An allied Navy unit designated Purple-7 & Madame Anna Brown were initially engaged while Ensign Edison and I rounded up reinforcements and a couple of private contractors to assist friendly forces when we were fully prepared.
Unfortunately, Madame Anna Brown's fighter was shot down and she gave me an order to lead the reinforcements straight away so I took command of the situation after the highest ranking officer was taken out. Although we were outgunned when we got there, reinforcements slowly started arriving, including a dreadnought from the 5th Fleet. Within about 10 minutes we were able to regain control over the Texas-Bering Jump-gate and destroyed all hostile ships in the area. Although enemy reinforcements had arrived, they quickly turned away and I ordered all friendly units to stand down as there was no need to expend further resources to chase after hostiles who were most likely heading for the heavily defended Freeport 2 station anyway. Reference images are below.
Sincerely,
Lt. Commander Daniel Redding, 1st Fleet, [LN]

Greetings Command.
Today, it was.. not nice day, I was standing by at Battleship Mississippi, there was nobody around, only a freelancer transport that was carrying nothing important, then I got 3 conact's, 1 Neutral, 2 Hostile, Hostiles were Unioners that attacked.. The Kempeitai agent.. What I could do? Watch some body burning from Unioners or get support from that pilot to destroy those Unioners, I would choice support choice, so I did that, I targeted one of the Unioners, The Kempeitai pilot destroyed one of their ships, I tried to follow that UN then The Kempeitai CDed me, plus.. I got Cruise Engine failure, my whole system's went down, so I couldn't follow. Before the escape of the of that unioner and that the kempeitai pilot, Liberty Navy Carrier callsign: [\|/]Semper.Fortis came in to support, then I had that engine failure, Semper provided me with some support.
After that.. retunred to Mississippi, to get another contact, again.., it was that kempeitai pilot again, I followed that pilot to New York system. then I jumped in to New York system, on my face showed up 3 Xenos, 2 Bombers, 1 Fighter, the Kempeitai pilot tried to defend himself, but she successfully escaped. Xenos gave me some big hits to me, but I escaped back to Battleship. I quickly repaired and return to Space, I took lane to Bering jump gate, But the trade lane was disrupted by those xenos that I have escaped, the Libery Navy Carrier was under attack by those them, the Kempeitai pilot tried to support the carrier.
We manged to destroy 2 xenos, we left for her 1 of them, Born.To.Rock, but then, out of no where.. we got.. a.. rebel cruiser. Yes.. a rebel cruiser callsign Arctique, SNS-Arctique, I remember her from one of the engagment's on the Outcast dreadnaught. We tried to intercept that cruiser, but I lost all of my Cruise disruptor's, Arctique managed to escaped to Bering system, I scout the Jump hole area, on other side, there was no ships, I returned to Texas, [\|/]Semper.Fortis CO told me to fly to 5F, I did that and I got that xeno that was running from that Kemepitai pilot (That pilot wasn't there than I attacked that Xeno), We engaged him, I managed to heavly damage the Xeno Bomber, in the end, I destroyed that ship. I tried to find Kempeitai pilot, but.. no luck. I captured my destruction of that Xeno. I will will attach Radio log, maybe you will find some interesting things.. SNS-Arctique was talking about.. that "He have secret's plans of navy ", or some thing like that.. but I leave the radio log to you, high command, to review it. The today's attack of the Xeno's and Unioner's was hard to survived, but.. I got some lesson's, some experience out of it.
Edison out.

I just witnessed a huge self destruction by Unioners in Texas. It looks like they were testing some kind of a new weapon that isn't working very well. It destroyed several of their cruisers leaving small party for our forces to clean them easy. I was aboard Amber Bay vessel drinking my coffee while SIlvia Greer commanded action. By the Gods will no one is harmed except them.
With a little luck, they are going to kill themselves.
Good day, and goodbye.

Afternoon, Command.
Today, a Nomad by the name of Sil'fer, was seen around New York, taunting all Navy assets in system. Scans showed it to be a light fighter when it came close enough to be scanned. The on hand 2nd fleet ship, the LNS-Columbia, seemed to struggle to keep up with the Nomad. It seems to be going around the system, appearing near Fort Bush, Planet Manhatten, Detroit Munitions, and Planet Pittsburgh, where it engaged me and was destroyed by a nuke mine. It has now been cleared from the system and New York is now, once again, Nomad free. I shall keep patrolling New York and keep an eye out for more Nomad activity.
