Lieutenant Samuel Zander

Salutations Commanders, Zander reporting in.

Today I received a distress call coming from the California system. Apparently several hostiles were conducting piracy between Planet Mojave and the New York Jump Gate. I sat course for said location and confirmed that a threat was present. From the very beginning I was heavily outnumbered so I hired two mercenaries, one flying a Gunboat and the other a Fighter. As the battle progressed we received assistance from a LNS Gunboat and a Cruiser who both were told to stand-down, however they were being critically damaged by the pirates and so I ordered them to return fire. Two Fighters arrived as back-up as well but they were quickly shot down when suddenly the two mercenaries I had hired double-crossed me because they were being payed more by a Pirate flying a Gunboat.

Eventually I was left alone against a few hostiles, but fortunetly received much-needed assistance not only from a very skilled Navy pilot named Chuck Peterson, but the Dreadnought Maryland arrived as well. However, by the mere sight of this devastating vessel the pirates scattered into two directions. Myself along with Chuck Peterson managed to track down one said group and neutralized all targets. Unfortunately the other group managed to escape.

Heading back towards the New York system, Sub-Lieutenant Virgil Redline and Lieutenant-Commander Shade Walker spotted several Hell Fire Legion members as well as a few Neo Terran Front members in the New York system. The infamous Ven'gyr was also at said location and so the Dreadnought Durango came to hold it down as our Fighter-crafts neutralized the enemy.

However, before our group consisting of: Myself, Redline, Walker and Peterson had arrived to the scene, the enemy had already been weakened by an unknown number of LNS and other Navy pilots.

[color=#FFFFFF]MESSAGE:[color=#FFFFFF] Greetings Admirals and Commanders of the Naval Fleet,

It's about time I made a report of the events that have transpired over the past few days. On the LNS Washington's maiden voyager we encountered a Rheinland Battleship and Cruiser attack fleet in Texas, being the man that I am I ordered all ships to engage the enemies at all costs. Our fleet fought well and we suffered light casualties while the Rheinland fleet was utterly destroyed. The Battleship was destroyed along with one of it's escort cruisers, the third ship another Cruiser surrendered after being cornered by the Washington and a few of our own cruisers.

After taking the captain aboard my ship we discussed a number of things, and he agreed to hand over the codes to his vessel for the safe return of his crew to Rheinland. I agreed, we returned the crew to their escape pods and took the Cruiser to Alsaksa where it currently remains. And if that was not enough of a victory the following day they made another attack on Texas this time with a larger fleet.

The Washington engaged a Battleship and it's escorts, once the battleship was destroyed we focused on the Enemy Cruiser and Gunboats destroying all but one. The last surrendered to us, it crew and captain captured and sent to PoW camps for interrogation. Unfortunately the ship wasn't salvageable and had to be scuttled. Attached is a number of images captured from the battle, I'd like to personally thank the captain of the Indiana and the Groom Lake for providing support and escorts for the captured vessels.

Commodore Walker, Out
