Dear officers,
today I was on my way to the Battleship Derby to get my fighter when a Corsair ship came from the Edinburgh Jump Gate Trade Lane. I didn't get a glimpse at its ID, but I have to assume that its ship AI screwed somehow the IFF, because it docked at Planet Leeds without incident. I suppose we should have a look at the equipped ID the next time we encounter the ship. The type of the ship was "Civilian Deep Space Explorer". The name was "strmostenac1".
Here are the pictures of the docking proceedure.

Commander Reid sighed as she looked at the extended leave request still unattended, undoubtedly blaming Goodmen for this, she took the request and looked it over quickly.
Ensign Deneth Aleski 105D approved
She attached her neural net signature to it before closing the file and went back to staring out of the window into the LD-14 asteroid field.

Good evening, sirs.
This day there was a cold meeting with outcast capital ship.
I received a distress call from Thames outpost. Transmission said that there was an Outcast vessel floating near planet. By the time I got there, constable John Grey was fighting this Destroyer. With my help he took out many subsystems of Destroyer, and my SNAC delivered a solid punch to its hull.
Captain placed his ship right in front of Planet New London... His mistake made him to pay by his own ship
Lieutenant-Commander John Alster over and out.

Good day,
today i encountered a smuggler carrying cardamine in Cortez system. He refused to cooperate and engaged into battle when his team mate appeared. I had no other choice but keep the safe distance and wait for them to leave.
I saved the message history and took some visual proof. You can see it here:
Scan log - 1,
Scan log - 2,
Scan log - 3
Shortly after that, weird thing happened. Some guy named Smeagle flew into Manchester system. He was in eagle with pirate ID. When I asked, He said that friend gave him that ID and refused to change it and started cruise mode.
Train cruise disruptor did it's job and I did mine with a help of one friendly pilot.

Subject: Patrol Report
Today I came on patrol at 22:30 SMT to reports of Corsair activity in Dublin. I arrived on scene to see Lieutenant Bridge and HMS-Wellesley in control of the situation, along with II-HMAS.Victory from the TA and Benjamin.Barker.
I stationed myself at Graves with the Victory, and saw Espi*|Sails hovering at range in his Praetorian. Some "pleasantries" were exchanged, and we came to find that we could not find evidence that he had been recently engaged in piracy or other crimes against the Crown. An unaffiliated Spatial pilot going by the callsign bugyka was somewhat delusional, tried to shoot the Sails pilot a few times, and repeatedly exclaimed that all of life was a game, and he was new at it. If it wasn't for the fact that he could reach his controls, I'd believe that he was born yesterday.
After a short break of that Spatial flitting around, *Desu|Sails reinforced his friend in his Titan, but both continued to hold their distance. At some point during this, Commodore Owen came on duty and reinforced us, and Bridge came back from investigating any activity around Gran Canaria with Barker. More verbal taunts between the Spatial and the Sails ensued, but nothing came of it. A Correo by the callsign |~|Tango also arrived on the scene with the Sails, and surprisingly we had a discussion about the merits of Zoner alcohol and Bretonian tea, generally coming to the conclusion that both were far superior to any swill that the Kusari could come up with.
During all this I was contacted over private comms by a certain "Darth Sidious" of the Shadow Outcast Brigade, who began inquiring about the state of the refugees who were leaving Planet Leeds. In this conversation he informed me that "Malta needs a lot of industrial workers. Such as ship builders, farmers, and machine operators". He clarified that all their field labor and other undesirable and 'underpaid' positions were well covered with "old, starved criminals, such as xenos, corsairs, and gaians", and that anyone coming as a refugee would not at all be in that position.
He did confirm what I'd heard from CRI that it would end up being a one-way trip due to the unavoidable development of a cardamine dependency, as it is present in the very air they breathe on Malta. While this is an issue, the "heightend physical and mental abilities" may be in our favor if these refugees remember their past and join us against the Kusari threat.
Sidious then hinted that the Outcasts are in the habit of producing "high quality munitions", "But we also offer... "retail" handguns, tanks, artillery". This seemed to be somewhat related to the request to "encourage them[refugees] to come to Malta".
I informed him that I would submit this conversation/offer to my superiors and those in charge of such matters, as I am doing now.
That is all for today's report.
