Evening,

Yesterday's evening, during a routine heavy patrol onboard the L.N.S Mount Hood, our scanners picked up a hostile Hellfire Legion warship closing in from the Colorado jump gate direction towards Fort Bush. The hostile battlecruiser was neutralized not so long after encountering it; the Mount Hood received minor damage and is undergoing repairs at Norfolk.

Death: HFBC-Heimdall was put out of action by [LN]-LNS-Mount.Hood (Gun).

In another incident, we received intel on a possible Hellfire Legion intrusion in the California system. A small battlegroup consisting of one (1) Liberty dreadnought, one (1) Liberty Carrier, one (1) Liberty Battlecruiser, one (1) Liberty Gunboat, and two (2) fighters, was dispatched to investigate and deal with the issue. Upon arriving at California, right at the New York jump gate, we were welcomed by 1 (one) Hellfire battleship, 1 (one) Hellfire battlecruiser, and one (1) fighter. Unfortunately, the opposing Legionnaires were able to neutralize our battleship due to miscommunication between the 5th Carrier and the secondary fleet battleship. A rescue mission was ordered to the scene of the battle as soon as the area was secured. We were able to retaliate, however; the rest of our forces were able to destroy the opposing Hellfire vessels with no casualties but for a police Liberator that was downed by the Hellfire fighter- which was also taken care of by an arriving police SWAT operative.

Greetings Command,

This is Lieutenant Alec Wylde, signing in… after a longer period than I intended with a fresh report from the field. Sadly New York. I was part today with a joint operation of several Secondary Fleet captains against a foothold of the Hellfire Legion. What I can say that it was a massacre on both sides, but more on our side. The lack of proper organization and experience in the field of the Captains gave the Legion the upper hand eventually, but tightly.

I was part of the assault for some time prior for my ship to being damaged; my vessel had a gyro error softer-wise and I was shot at; thus I was forced back to Norfolk, only to observe the patterns of both of the forces. It saddens me to report the fact that, and please excuse my way of putting it, but the incompetence in the aspects of assault patterns and evasion of the said Captains was deplorable. That’s why we lost. The Legion’s modus operandi in combat is simple, tightened numbers, all at once. If they are split they are obliterated, or if they are overwhelmed.

I also realized that the Hellfire Legion issue in Liberty space took higher accounting as I’ve heard multiple reports regarding their presence. I may not be in the position to propose a movement against them, but my recommendation is to either block their access to Liberty space, or find the source of their often, repeating presence. I am aware that the GRN forces are in our space, so currently the Navy is in a questioning position.

Greetings Command,

today as I entered California, I got an emergency call from the LNS-Leutwin. Apparently it got attacked by the Legion close to LA. I made my way there and looked at the are. Nothing. When I moved back to Riverside, I saw one of them coming from the Magellan gate. I immediately stopped and followed the ship in question. I just in case the ship was leading me towards other Legionaires I called for backup. Although the backup was not here, I followed the Legionaire and stumbled upon two more. First only one attacked me, then he broke of and left me fighting against the other two. Backup was no where close at the moment. I tried to evade their fire and move to Riverside, where the backup would arrive soon. I managed to arrive at Riverside with minimal losses of my Nanobots.

At Riverside I met the reinforcements and we turned the table. More and more came on both sides. It was a big battle and we managed to only loose two ships whereas they lost their whole force. After we were done, we tracked down some pirates and chased them into Leeds where we ended up in a small scale battle. It was our strike wing against their little pirate group. We had a good run today. Only two losses and close to a dozen eliminations on our side.

I captured most of my eliminations and am sending them attached to this message.

Mayer out.

Guncam Footage

Yesterday at roughly 9:48 Sirius Mean Time while patrolling around the New York system, I encountered a Rogue "Scylla" class Destroyer running the name: Desperado. The coordinates of the ship upon encountering it were 3D on the trade lane route from Planet Manhatten to Fort Bush. As I awaited for proper backup to arrive to deal with the situation, the ship began to fly towards the Jersey debris field. I followed the craft until it stopped a little ways away from Rochester. By the time it had stopped I picked up two new hostiles on my scanners: (C~Vennamis and (C~Basilisk of The Commune. The attached is the communication log from them.

Audio Log.

Once [LN]-Jack.Edison arrived, we escaped to wait for reinforcements. However as we made our way back, we encountered an Outcast Dreadnought under the name: [OC]-"Sharpy". Upon arriving back near Manhatten, we were joined by: 5th|LNS-Warspite, [LN]-LNS-Maryland, and [LN]-Anna.Brown. At least one more hostile showed up before we engaged them. During the fight my ship was severely damaged and eventually, destroyed. However shortly before destruction, I managed to eject myself from the ship.

If command wishes, I have guncam footage of the fight itself, as well as a few minutes before the fight. The footage also includes my scanner logs of all the ships involved.

First day since graduation and induction into the First Primary Fleet and a string of bad luck follows. My assigned craft had, apparently, not yet arrived due to a clerical error in the requisitions and acquisitions department. Although it was unfortunate I sallied out to respond to a general distress in a refurbished training craft to engage an Outcast-affiliated capital-class ship with a small wing of fighters and bomber with friendly Atlantis and Overlord-classes in support.

By the time I reached the engagement point it had already started venting atmos', with hull panels breaking apart at the damaged seams. I engaged anyway, didn't do much, but I contributed as much as I could have with strafing runs alongside it's sheared off armor. It's destruction was shortly confirmed after multiple bombardments by capital-class weaponry and the threat was neutralized. No idea how something that big made it past the sensor net but I digress. Mission accomplished.

Rickety old civilian scrap heap still in tow I began a patrol route around the New York system, holding between Newark as I spotted a contact coming through on the ship's, amazingly functional, sensors. Registered as a THP-affiliated vessel with a really smarmy name called "Legal" Commerce. He refused to stop when ordered to and, through some strange bit of flying, managed to dock with the mooring fixture and was out of my reach. Gonna have to keep an eye on him for next time.

Secondary contact came in about an hour later through a tip, a Freelancer flying the ship under the nomer Warlock One-oh-Niner, flew into New York from the Colorado jump-gate. I intercepted him successfully but unfortunately the rickety old scrap heap broke apart amidst the fire intensity and had to eject. The one thing that still worked in that old thing were the "luxury" escape pods. Guncam footage of the skirmish was lost, unfortunately, though everything else appears to have been recovered well enough.

I'm writing this from Downtown Central Hospital, recovering from some first-degree burns and a concussion, seemed a decent enough time after that light show near Fort Bush. It began normally enough, departing from Battleship Missouri towards Baltimore Shipyard, and from there, right as I left the lane and saw Fort Bush's familiar silhouette; I registered a Lane Hacker ID popping up. Started demanding a two-million credit fine from some clueless trader, right in front of me and a Deputy from LPI's local law enforcement. He either didn't see us or, if he did, didn't register the fact he was pirating in front of two officers of Liberty law. Either way, he tucked tail and ran off afterwards.

From there, I took the lane to Manhattan and began my four-point patrol. Strangest thing as soon as I slipped out, an Oracle or whatever they're called, religious nutjobs or some such, perched on top of Trenton chatting it up with a Freelancer. Ain't they supposed to be some sorta alien xeno-jingo cult? Nomads and all that. I hear New York used to be a hot-spot for aliens, and I'm not just talking about the people. That Freelancer, armed to the teeth, could have been a huge threat to security being so close to a high traffic area; but the guy used to be with the Fifth Fleet so I didn't hose him about it. Can't be all that bad if he's the one starting a conversation with me first.

I'll skip all the pleasantries and just include my patrol path from NY to Pennsylvania in my AAR. I would just like to report about what landed me in the hospital in the first place, drifting through the wreckage of my Upholder in an escape pod which was in bad shape from being blasted around by torpedo shockwaves. I escaped relatively intact but I can't say the same for poor Ensign Porthos; got incinerated by those torp-toting bastards. I digress, though, moving on I received a call for support through official channels that there were unknown hostiles moving in from the Colorado jump-gate; my patrol took me through the Jersey Debris Field so I responded and prepared to rendezvous until I got another squawk over the comms that there was another near Fort Bush.

What happened after's a mess and what pictures my guncam managed to take is probably scrambled from the radiation. Suffice to say, the amount of heavy ordinance fired at me could have leveled half of Planet Manhatten's northern hemisphere. Where the hell did this torpedo Rogues come from?

Ensign Ayato, reporting in.

This report will be a summary of the past two days.

First day :

I started my patrol from West point, and got an immediate request of help from a freelancer, who claimed to have seen two Xenos bombers near Fort Bush.
Once I arrived, I could see that it was true. Their callsigns were Born.To.Boom and Born.To.Rock . The chatter didn't go for long, and one of them started attacking me.
In the midfight, Mrs Bishop answered to my own distress call and started attacking the second bomber. Sadly, she was taken down quickly.
Once I've dealed with the first, the other one started attacking me, it was a long fight, and the ship sustained major damages, but I finaly were able to shoot him down.
Seconds after the end of the fight, the captain Anna Brown and the ensign Jack Edison came to escort me back and make sure there wasn't any more hostile around.
After having repairing my ship, I've resumed my patrol, alongside with a bounty hunter and another first fleet pilot, Alexander Tanathyn.
We soon made contact with four Rogues on bombers loaded exclusively on torpedos. Their strategy can be resumed on, a massive suicidal swarm.
I advise every pilot who encounter them to use extreme caution, since they won't care about putting their life away if they take you with them.
This is the only picture I've managed to recover from the guncams after being shot down.

Second day :

Right after undocking, I've met one of those Rogues with torpedoes, alone this time. His callsign was Sunslayer.Torpedo .
He was taken down with the help of a civilian ship who got shot at by the Rogue.
The second part of the patrol was quiet, until a GMG ship warned me that a Pirate in a gunship was disrupting lanes between Manhattan and Fort Bush.
I went that way to check on that information. The pirate was here, and even tried to rob me. A long fight happened, but in the end, I destroyed him.
Right after returning to Manhattan, a Lane Hacker passed next to me, after being disrupted, he engaged, but got shot down.
I would like to finish by saying that unlawful activity within Liberty seems to get a new spike.
