i can proudly say, after such a long period of inactivity, i was able to take the Mentu on a lil patrol of California. i saw Cyberoptic, HFGB-Redrock and a fellow rogue engaging some hostiles, and due to a leaked transmission, i found out that they were at Mojave. i headed there, and engaged the rival forces.
unfortunately, by the time i reached, the Redrock was out of the fight. i proceeded to engage the fools, and saw that the Rogue and cyberoptic were outnumbered. i engaged the LNS_Skyshark first: casualties are as follows:
as you can see, as soon as gothic lord was disposed off, his tractor pod somehow escaped the battle-scene, and he returned shortly, in a new fighter, to engage. i made short work of all of them. and by that time, re-enforcements were on their way. the HFGB-Sameal and the HFGB-Silverfire were on their way to assist with the remaining forces. only difference was, they enemies were anihhilated by me, by the time they made it.
after, we were stationed at California Minor, blowing any liberty cruiser patrol in sight, when we saw another LSF fighter in the california system via long range scanners.
the Mentu and the Sameal headed to LA to deal with this fighter. upon reaching LA, we saw him sitting outside the planet, oblivious to my guns. i managed to get the final shot on him, but somehow, it the recorder shows otherwise.
we saw BSG in cali, so we chased him. he led us to cortez, and finally to manchester. we then lost sight of him. however, we picked up a QCO vessel in New london. we proceeded to New london to teach those fools a lesson for invading Vespucci earlier on. on our way, we met a bounty hunter. we made short work of his as well.
after, we proceeded to the planet New London, to find and exterminate the QCO fighter in the system. unfortunately the Mentu was needed elsewhere, so he had to leave the battlefield.
I was glad to fight along side my friends of the HF Legion yesterday at Mojave in the California system and happy to hear that I lasted long enough to see that reinforcements had arrived. Losing my ship was small price to pay when helping a friend in need. Thank God my escape pod was tractored and safely brought back to Alcatraz.

Report:
Mission Time: Today
Mission Location: California System.
First report for today, and its a pretty long one.
today was very eventful. i took my newly aqcuired hacker gunship out for a patrol in the california system. i was met by a certain Rogue_9x, and it seemed he was in the need of some assistance. i moved from Vespucci, and towards Mojave, his last confirmed location. as soon as i reached mojave, i saw a certain LSF fighter and someone with the callsign 'Takar' (or similar) trying to order him out of the system. i intervened and made my presence known, and proceeded to attack the LSF fighter. Takar did not engage, and neither did i engage him, for the fact that he was not my enemy.
LSF-Adelka was killed of pretty fast:
for the next 5 minutes, there was no resistance, until LSF-Black Wing came to engage us. unfortunately for him, he was killed off pretty fast by my guns:
just when Black wing was exterminated, i saw a bomber approaching me. it was King-vailant in his Havoc bomber. not much of a challenge, especially since he had no support and i could concentrate all my fire upon him. not long after, i disposed offa him as well:
this is when i returned to Alcatraz depot for a bit of a break, and to switch back to my faithful Mentu. i saw that there was a gathering of Lawfuls in the same system. i gathered what troops i could summon at the time, and told them all to rondevouz at Alcatraz. within minutes, everyone was gathered and ready, so we made our way to Mojave, since HFGB-Samael reported Minor to be clear.
mojave seemed clear as well, so we assumed that they were all at Planet Los Angeles. we proceeded there, and with the help of our allies, exterminated all that was living and in our path. my on-board camera managed to remain intact this time, and catpure some stunning images of our second victory for the day:
this is when the flagship at the time, the HMCS-Athabaskan fell beneath our constant fire:
very soon to follow its footsteps was another liberty cruiser, apparently a freelancing one, with the callsign of Gothic lord. his demise was claimed by Rath:
after these forces were exterminated, we made our way to Mojave, and were on our way to Alcaraz depot, when we picked up the SFBS, the Norwich, the bretonian gunboat (the Defiance) a bounty hunter of the SSO, and some others on their way to engage and destroy us.
however, they made a big mistake. they travelled to us, one by one. excellent for us, since we picked them off one by one. the first to fall was the Defiance, by the Mentu's guns:
as you can see, the Norwich was being escorted towards us by some people:
did it do any good? ofcourse not. nothing lives when they face us... anyway. a freelancing liberty gunboat pilot decided to face us. foolish on his part. he died under the Mentu's fire fast:
the next to fall was the SFBS- the Norwich. i ordered everyone to concentrate their fire on the battleship. it soon succumbed to us, and the HFGB-Samael landed the fatal blow upon the Norwich:
another fool, by the callsign of LNS_Skyshark thought he would survive against us. big mistake. on top of it all, he had no extra armour on the ship, and died very quickly:
Blake was flying about, annoying us more than anything. once most of the others were dealt with, we concentrated our fire upon him:
it was funny that a SSO vessel had the courage to stand up and face his imminet death with such courage. but we do not care for such foolish bravery. that is why he is a bounty hunter, and we the Hellfire Legion. i claimed his head pretty fast, since he and 2 others were left.
i did not expect it, but i saw that the Panzershreck was out and about, on its lil tour of duty. too bad for him, his patrol path was crossing ours... he was gotten rid off as well:
with all our foes decimated, we returned to Alcatraz Depot to refuel and take a brief stop, before we returned to Vespucci for celabrations. as a log, i took a still image of our victorious 'fleet' :
another VERY successful campaign against those liberty fools who thought they can survive against us. i hope that this is enough of an example for the rest of our pilots.

Mission Time: Today
Mission Location: Magellan system, near the Vespucci Jumphole
i was on the Seth, returning home from New york after a deal, when i was joined by Lt. Samael, in the HFGB-Samael. we returned to mactan base for some equipment changes and supplies, when we were joined by the HFGB-RedRock. we saw on long range scanners that there was a stike forces headed our way. unfortunately, the REdrock was in Cassini, so it was me and the HFGB-Samael against the strike team.
we thought it would have been a tough fight, but, it wasnt. even when we saw that the strike group consted of a gunboat, bomber, and fighter.
me and Samael concentrated our firepower on the gunboat, the LNS_Skyshark. he didnt last long against us:
the next to fall at our hands was the SA-bomber. these newly acquired dragonfly turets work wonders, id like to add as a sidenote.
the next victim, gothic lord was facing us alone, since all his allies had been obliterated:
Reconfive, a bomber was destroyed, but the on-board camera didnt manage to take a still image of it.
Time: Today, 12:10PM (GMT)
Location: Vespucci System, America Base
This is Major Debian reporting in, i'm proud to announce that the modifications and repairs to the HFGB-Assembler have been completed, the gunboat is fully operational and awaiting further orders.

Gentlemen, and ladies. With deep regret I have to announce that I am stepping down from the HF high command. Also, I will no longer be Grand Admiral, I will still be in the HF but as I have recently been injured it may be a while before I am back. Unfortunately I have not really been here for any of you during the past year, but it was nice knowing all of you. For the legion!!!

Omicron and Tau fleets are to withdraw to Vespucci and re-join the main Vespucci fleet. This is effective now.
Put simply, everyone is now a member of the Vespucci fleet, and thus expected to be stationed either in Vespucci, Magellan, Cortez, or nearby systems. You may not station yourself on any base not belonging to the Lane Hackers, the Liberty Rogues, or us. Understood?
It was an interesting trip back from Corsica with the Perihelion... we were jumped by a flight of two VERY poorly piloted Titans and a Praetorian. The missiles got the Titans within a minute of the engagement, and our gunners should be congratulated for mauling that Praetorian, he was a MUCH harder target. After chasing him back into Gamma we were engaged by a Benitez Praefect. He was completely destroyed, and we suffered a thirty- percent Structural Integrity loss...pretty pathetic, for a ship with something like half again as much armor as we had. Shortly after her death the Olympiakos, which I must say is a MUCH more decent ship, captain and crew, tried to intercept. They were down to about twenty percent hull when we finally received the critical hull alert and had to fall back to the Freeport for a patch job. A successful operation, I think; two fighters downed, one destroyed Cruiser and another severely damaged. They won't come after us for a LONG time, I think. Whitaker out.
