Liberty Forces Message dump - Printable Version

Effective Immediately the Gunboats LNS Bull Run and LNS Bunker Hill have had their hulls striken and subsequently transferred to the Bretonia Armed Forces at Southhampton Shipyard where they will either be stripped for parts or pressed into service by their new owners.

Naturally, the names of those ships have been reassigned to the Bretonian gunboats that will be replacing them in our service.

It has been brought to my attention that due to apparent contractor oversight some of the newer gunboats that have entered service are in fact unfit to serve with our armed forces.

I have received reports citing numerous operational concerns, including reactor leaks, malfunctioning targeting systems, misfiring weapons, sub-par armor plating, and numerous other issues on several of our supposedly "cutting edge" gunboats.

With that in mind, it is my recommendation that we move to acquire several new Gunboat type vessels from the Bretonia Armed Forces so as to maintain our military capabilities while our current-gen gunboats are cycled through the shipyards for inspection and refitting.

It simply astonishes me that ships in such a...depressing state, were allowed to leave our shipyards and enter service with the First Fleet, let alone any of the other fleets serving our Republic.

I will be making a formal inquiry with the Department of Defense, and I will be recommending that they review their contracts and replace any company found to be at fault for this outrageous situation.

Fleet Admiral Baker, Out.

Ms. Marshall, I would like to personally congratulate you for surviving your probationary flight period, and again I welcome you into the ranks of the best damned fleet in the Navy.

Effective immediately you are promoted to the rank of Ensign, a formal notice will be posted on the Rank Adjustment Board at a later date, but in the mean time, you are to be granted the appropriate authority and respect of your new rank, and you are authorized to modify your uniforms with the addition of the proper collar bars and epaulets.

Fleet Admiral Baker, Out.

Beginning as of the upload time of this message, the Rheinlander by the name of Natalia Wolfer is granted a 30 hour pass to operate her "Wraith" Fighter within the territorial space of the Republic of Liberty.

As far as I can tell, the woman has come from Rheinland seeking asylum and refuge, the 30 hour pass is to allow her ample time to make contact with the necessary branches of our government and what-not.

The point is, if you see her, do not shoot her, and if you see her being accosted by unaware authorities, do your utmost to clarify the situation.

That is all.

Fleet Admiral Baker, Out.

Greetings, pilots.

All personnel are to report any contact with ZRV: tagged capital class vessels operating in Liberty space. Two vessels, ZRV:Midas and ZRV:Alpha_1 were recently observed in the Kepler system after having registered on Long Range Scanners within the New York and Colorado systems. The captains of these two jump capable "Aquilon" vessels claimed to have arrived via their drive systems, but it is unlikely given our sensor data. While we lack the hard evidence to show contary to their claims, they acknowledged our laws banning transit of their vessels are not be considered "lost" if found operating in Liberty. The maximum spot fine per vessel is permitted and any such vessel is to be escorted out immediately without negotiation.

Admiral Polstari, signing off.

Greetings, sirs.

I had the unusual pleasure of a Liberty Rogue captain attempt to avoid getting dusted by citing at our own laws and treaties at me a few days back. I thought I'd share the incident as a matter of both humor and inquiry.

It all began when Lieutenant Commander Wazowski put out a notice of having passed a Liberty Rogue destroyer on the lane to Philadelphia Station in the Pennsylvania system. Answering the call, the crew of the [LN]-LNS-Exeter and I moved to the system to find and eliminate the target. We made no contact upon the initial lane the contact was reported on, so we began a basic search pattern to see if we could find it in system. Moving along the lane to Bethlehem Station we found the target known as DeathCollector near the Zoner facility. Things got a little odd from there.

We were of course well aware of Admiral Malrone's notice concerning the rescinding of the treaty, but it seems like not everyone else got the message.

The only question I had was to whom do we request this guy gets his docking rights revoked from? Things have been awfully quiet at Bethlehem these past months; it makes me wonder who's keeping the power on over there.

Anyway, that concludes my report.

Commander Wicks, out.
