Liberty Forces Message dump - Printable Version

As the Navy is well aware, the Liberty Assault Ship "Freedom" has been completed.

Data Summary 1

Archan was spotted with Artifacts. Unfortunately, he made it to Manhattan. He was later encountered again somehow managing to break the security locks on the jumpgate in Zone-21. We followed him in but by the time we were through and activated the cruise engines he was out of range.

Later, PunkMeOut attempted the same thing Archan did earlier. His ship was destroyed by the Freedom's mortars.

Not long afterwards, Avenger064 showed up with a load of Cardamine. Needless to say, he was destroyed.

Near the end of our shift, we set for Houston to setup a blockade for an incoming smuggler. Again, we didn't make it in time. However, this ship did not get away and agreed to pay the four million credit fine placed on his ship.

Data Summary 2

This report starts out with smugglers like most. With the Freedom in dock for repairs I had launched in my bomber.

The target this time was [STC]Miles.Naismith. Carrying Counterfeit Software and Passengers possibly as a human shield.
He was about to head into the minefield and after taking his shields down I launched a Supernova and took out the ship's bridge section leaving the passengers unharmed for rescue.

Later there were alerts that Xenos had entered the system. Soon enough they were spotted at Manhattan.
As I was focused on two other targets, my gun-camera didn't catch the death's of other Xenos in the area.

Afterwards I was engaged by 3 hostiles, one i noticed as an Outcast. Their ships consisted of two gunboats and a bomber.
Because of this I was easily outgunned and was forced to call in support. However, as help was incoming, I managed to drag the Falcata out and away from the gunboats and he was able to be destroyed. My reinforcement appeared on scanners and I returned to the gunboats using thrusters as my cruise engines were malfunctioning. After a while the gunboats, like the bomber, were destroyed.

In the initial assault however my gun-camera was hit, this is the only image i have of the engagement.

Data Summary 3

The Freedom's repairs were finished, in an early and short shift it was launched to blockade Texas.

Smugglers are becoming a common occurance. Two ships, blackwar and IronBoy, were spotted outside Houston attempting to leave with a surprising number of slaves. After several orders were given, only to have no response in return, I ordered Jac to have the gunners open fire. One transport was destroyed, the other one vanished.

I am a bit disappointed at seeing this message.

From what i can understand, after announcing he was making his leave of Liberty. Captain Shad Winston aboard the LNS Commonwealth ordered the a ship known as the Ishtar to a halt, an order that was obeyed. The ship's identification as an Order vessel was called into question. The commander of the Ishtar replied stating he had no allegiance to the Order. This was considered a lie by some of the vessels in the area.

John Rudal aboard the Prodigy, if I may add is a ship that was supposed to be grounded at the time, jumped in asking to fight the allegedly hostile ship, putting his crew and resources of Liberty at risk. From the logs, Winston agreed to have let the battle take place implying that should the Ishtar survive the Prodigy's assault, it and its crew would be allowed to leave Liberty unharmed. The Prodigy, being outclassed, lost the fight. Luckily the crew managed to escape the ship before it was destroyed.

The conclusion of this unfortunate encounter is the reason for my disappointment. Instead of being allowed to leave after the fight with the Prodigy, Captain Winston ordered the ship to be destroyed, going against his previous agreement.

These logs were sent to me as a request to make a report on it. The commander of the Ishtar also stated that it's repair was successful and is willing to accept a public apology for the unreasonable attack on him and his crew.
