Firstly, I would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in me. I will ensure that I live up to your expectations.

I have been forwarded a message from the 5th Quartermasters office in relation to available 'Interdictor' class Battle Cruiser commands currently within the wider Liberty Navy. There is one option that has caught my interest. The LNS-Vindictive is a ship where both the Commanding and Executive officers are due to retire. They are currently over service time and the vessel has been pulled off of the front line until a replacement CO can be found.

The vessel, being a craft which was commissioned over a decade ago which has not seen major refit in its tenure , is not fully up to standard in several areas and would require refits to the scanner systems, armour suite and fire control systems to bring it to 5th fleet standards, as well as general checks at a shipyard on the power core and drive systems before it is returned to full service. Given my previous roles as a ships technician I would find executing this refit to be an interesting challenge. Also I would hate to see a good ship be sent to pasture when it is not necessary.

With commands approval I will request that the quartermaster file the necessary paperwork to begin transfer of the vessel to 5th fleet service.

I am contacting you to confirm that the Vindictive is now ready for action. During its shakedown it has been tested against several hostile craft and has been able to hold up well against these hostiles even given it's age. The majority of the systems are now functional.

However, I am contacting command to confirm how I would get access to special weapons packages, such as a Jump Drive or Cloak Disruptor. And, which equipment would be most useful for the fleet. The Vindictive's hangar is also still inoperative and will need special parts to complete repairs according to Norfolk.

Please see attached a link to the Vindictive's operational report logs which detail the repairs and refit works that have been undertaken.

Good day Commodore,

I confirm receipt of message in regards to your orders and confirm that the Vindictive is now under the command of your task-force. The Vindictive is currently moored at the Norfolk shipyard so a flight to Juneau shouldn't be a problem. However, after having a word with the engineering team at Juneau I've been informed that it could take some time for the upgrades to be completed. They have suggested that they could do all the prep work on the components before the Vindictive arrives to reduce downtime which would leave the Vindictive in a position to assist in New York while awaiting the upgrades.

As such I would like to request that the Vindictive remain on station in New York until I receive word from the engineering team that the upgrades are prepared and ready for installation.
