Astraea here. I launched my bomber enroute from Colorado to Magellan to assist HF elements in-system.
Upon entry into Cortez, i was bounced by two Lane Hacker Assassins. After unsuccessful evasion, and with critical damage, i rigged the torpedo launchers to detonate on impact, ramming one of the Assassins, destroying his ship.
I was able to eject my pod at the last moment and was picked up with covert sympathizers and returned to Vespucci. The kill notification will be transmitted when the data has been recovered from my pod.

Hello from New Tokyo.
I've made the trip up to see if i can find and meet those groups in Kusari who arent opposed to us. Both the Hogosha and Blood Dragons are on the list, along with the Farmers Alliance.

Ok Legionnaires, a couple of new directives.
1. The repair work on Fu-Manchu is to be accelerated. Negotiations are underway with a supplier to bring in needed materials. Legionnaires can help by hauling Superconducters from Ouray to Leniex.
2. I've arranged a deal with the Hogosha Association in Kusari. We have docking access to their bases and a trade agreement. We take Black Market Munitions to Kamakura base in Okinawa and then ship plutonium back to Monterrey.
3. All patrols in and through Liberty are to be increased. Make our presence felt. Coordinate with our Xeno allies on raids.
I expect full work from all Legionnaires on these endeavors.

Post-Action Report
02-11-821
Patrol started from Milford base in the Pensylvania system. During the way to the New York jump gate, no entities were encoutered. Afterwards I briefly went past the Westpoint Military Academy and the lane to manhattan, deviating so to get behind manhattan, however that resulted on a pursuit by three Navy fighters.
Respectively:
SFC|Jason.Walker
SFC|Dante.Lyons
{LN}_Ray_McCoy
I managed to take the later one out of action with a nuclear mine, and also managed to cause severe damage to the SFC operative Walker. However, my prosecutor was struck by a mine, leaving me no choice but to continue the fight with only my Mine dropper still intact, before the craft was rendered inoperable by operative Lyons.
That would be all.

Today's patrol in New York was... Interesting. Pirate blockades consisting of gunboats and destroyers, several navy battlecruisers intercepting them and hordes of fighters launched against us. Lennard, a xeno and I fought bravely even though we were outnumbered greatly. Our patrol had to be terminated prematurely due to heavy damages on our ships.

This is Major Max Fightmaster, reporting.
Earlier today I ran across a rather odd navy pilot, he seemed rather interested in talking to me alone. A long conversation followed which you can see below:
Quote:[06.01.2015 17:46:20] [HF]-Strongest: J-esus.
[06.01.2015 17:46:24] [HF]-Strongest: Beams and all.
[06.01.2015 17:46:34] 5th|Evens-Carter: Perfect isn't it?
[06.01.2015 17:46:44] [HF]-Strongest: What, another Navy wing formed?
[06.01.2015 17:46:52] [HF]-Strongest: The 5th this time?
[06.01.2015 17:47:09] 5th|Evens-Carter: Indeed....You should know how the Navy is...
[06.01.2015 17:47:19] [HF]-Strongest: Wasn't the Gold wing enough?
[06.01.2015 17:47:33] [HF]-Strongest: You're just being rediculous.
[06.01.2015 17:47:46] 5th|Evens-Carter: I don't know this...."Gold wing" your refering to
[06.01.2015 17:47:59] [HF]-Strongest: Yeah, because they are dead.
[06.01.2015 17:48:20] [HF]-Strongest: Elite wing and green horses.
[06.01.2015 17:48:36] 5th|Evens-Carter: Well if they are dead what made them Elite?
[06.01.2015 17:48:47] [HF]-Strongest: Just a bunch a bunch of amateurs, the whole bunch of you.
[06.01.2015 17:49:02] [HF]-Strongest: You can't see what's in front of you so you just follow the rest.
[06.01.2015 17:49:05] [HF]-Strongest: Like sheep.
[06.01.2015 17:49:24] [HF]-Strongest: It's a shame you're up against me.
[06.01.2015 17:49:36] 5th|Evens-Carter: Why a shame?
[06.01.2015 17:49:53] [HF]-Strongest: I will give you a chance to escape Liberty's hands and join the Legion.
[06.01.2015 17:50:26] 5th|Evens-Carter: And why would I do that? I mean sooner or later the Legion will die just as the Navy
[06.01.2015 17:50:27] [HF]-Strongest: The oh-so-lovely state of Liberty branded us terrorists to blind the people.
[06.01.2015 17:51:17] [HF]-Strongest: The legion won't die because we're driven by our cause.
[06.01.2015 17:51:36] 5th|Evens-Carter: Is it now?
[06.01.2015 17:52:02] [HF]-Strongest: Got the numerical advantage your were looking for, -officer-?
[06.01.2015 17:52:18] 5th|Evens-Carter: Well you did pass Fort Bush
[06.01.2015 17:52:26] 5th|Evens-Carter: They just hate your legion
[06.01.2015 17:52:28] [HF]-Strongest: Of course I did.
[06.01.2015 17:52:40] [HF]-Strongest: It is what recon does.
[06.01.2015 17:52:54] [HF]-Strongest: We pass through, from and all that jazz.
[06.01.2015 17:54:06] 5th|Evens-Carter: Now...Where were we?
[06.01.2015 17:54:18] [HF]-Strongest: A little daredevil aren't you?
[06.01.2015 17:54:47] 5th|Evens-Carter: Yes i am...I like trying the odds
[06.01.2015 17:54:58] [HF]-Strongest: Well, you know where I am heading.
[06.01.2015 17:55:14] [HF]-Strongest: Or doesn't your superior allow you to deviate from your route?
[06.01.2015 17:55:21] 5th|Evens-Carter: Your Legion is known for its skill yet no one in the 5th faced you yet
[06.01.2015 17:55:33] 5th|Evens-Carter: Who are you if I may ask?
[06.01.2015 17:55:48] [HF]-Strongest: Major Max Fightmaster, at your service.
[06.01.2015 17:56:12] 5th|Evens-Carter: This is Lieutenant Carter Ordering all ships back to Ford Bush
[06.01.2015 17:56:21] [HF]-Strongest: Oh?
[06.01.2015 17:56:26] [HF]-Strongest: But I'm all alone.
[06.01.2015 17:56:33] [HF]-Strongest: Doesn't your goverment want me dead?
[06.01.2015 17:56:36] 5th|Evens-Carter: You wont be
[06.01.2015 17:56:50] [HF]-Strongest: I assure you that I am all alone.
[06.01.2015 17:57:06] 5th|Evens-Carter: I thought it might be better if we are alone
[06.01.2015 17:57:33] [HF]-Strongest: I'm a lone wolf today that lost his path.
[06.01.2015 17:57:50] 5th|Evens-Carter: I thought you ,ight be hunting some Lib's
[06.01.2015 17:58:07] [HF]-Strongest: I do.
[06.01.2015 17:58:27] [HF]-Strongest: I am also taking out YOUR trash.
[06.01.2015 17:58:37] 5th|Evens-Carter: My trash?
[06.01.2015 17:58:47] 5th|Evens-Carter: Oh you shouldn't have
[06.01.2015 17:58:52] [HF]-Strongest: Because apparently rogues and pirates are abudant these days.
[06.01.2015 17:59:02] [HF]-Strongest: Not to mention suspicious people
[06.01.2015 17:59:13] [HF]-Strongest: With disorderly personalities.
[06.01.2015 17:59:22] 5th|Evens-Carter: Your telling me...Seems everyone hates our goverment
[06.01.2015 18:00:00] [HF]-Strongest: Looks like that patrol finally gave up.
[06.01.2015 18:00:01] [HF]-Strongest: Heh.
[06.01.2015 18:00:28] 5th|Evens-Carter: i requested that they leave
[06.01.2015 18:00:51] [HF]-Strongest: Oh really? How nice of you.
[06.01.2015 18:00:59] 5th|Evens-Carter: Now tell me a bit more of your Legion
[06.01.2015 18:01:19] 5th|Evens-Carter: I have only heard rumours
[06.01.2015 18:01:26] [HF]-Strongest: First, tell me what do you know about the Legion and I will tell you with of that is propaganda.
[06.01.2015 18:01:33] [HF]-Strongest: which, even.
[06.01.2015 18:02:10] [HF]-Strongest: Because you know, I've told the tale to many of your kind in an attempt to save them.
[06.01.2015 18:02:23] 5th|Evens-Carter: That the Legion is nothing more then angry pilots and out to kill every single combat ship in Liberty
[06.01.2015 18:03:17] [HF]-Strongest: You know nothing about us, yet you decide to strike first.
[06.01.2015 18:03:34] [HF]-Strongest: Than wonder -why- we even broke off from the Navy.
[06.01.2015 18:04:02] 5th|Evens-Carter: The Legion has killed many Navy officers...do you blame us?
[06.01.2015 18:04:21] [HF]-Strongest: What did you expect?
[06.01.2015 18:04:37] [HF]-Strongest: We were charged for treason and sentenced to life or worse, execution.
[06.01.2015 18:04:49] [HF]-Strongest: For something even I don't know.
[06.01.2015 18:05:09] 5th|Evens-Carter: Oh? Well thats strange....
[06.01.2015 18:05:25] [HF]-Strongest: And then, a large part of your so-called "authorities", turn their head on the other side.
[06.01.2015 18:05:48] [HF]-Strongest: To criminal organizations by getting bribed.
[06.01.2015 18:06:26] 5th|Evens-Carter: I assurre you im all for Justice and not another currupt flunky
[06.01.2015 18:06:50] [HF]-Strongest: I will not stand watching Liberty decay by it's incompetent and filled with greed goverment.
[06.01.2015 18:07:04] [HF]-Strongest: That is why we fight.
[06.01.2015 18:07:37] 5th|Evens-Carter: I can almost understand that....But what have I personally done against the Legion?
[06.01.2015 18:07:48] [HF]-Strongest: The only reason we haven't won yet is because of Liberty's propaganda.
[06.01.2015 18:08:03] [HF]-Strongest: The sheep follow the shepherd..
[06.01.2015 18:08:19] 5th|Evens-Carter: No one speaks for me besides me!
[06.01.2015 18:08:27] [HF]-Strongest: Many unaware of that bid themselves against us.
[06.01.2015 18:08:38] [HF]-Strongest: Constantly resulting in collateral damage.
[06.01.2015 18:08:58] [HF]-Strongest: That is good.
[06.01.2015 18:09:05] 5th|Evens-Carter: Im no puppet in these games....I fight against of what you are claiming
[06.01.2015 18:09:17] [HF]-Strongest: You should be a human being that is aware of it's enviroment.
[06.01.2015 18:09:42] 5th|Evens-Carter: Have you ever tried using Liberty's own Navy against the Government?
[06.01.2015 18:10:28] 5th|Evens-Carter: Most officers are just the same as me....There to protect our great nation
[06.01.2015 18:11:25] [HF]-Strongest: I've heard this tale too many times.
[06.01.2015 18:11:58] 5th|Evens-Carter: Im sure you have...
[06.01.2015 18:12:33] [HF]-Strongest: So what do you want to do?
[06.01.2015 18:12:42] 5th|Evens-Carter: But in my eyes the Legion has not done anything wrong and i refuse to stop you on their orders
[06.01.2015 18:13:49] 5th|Evens-Carter: Im going to let you get out of here before more Navy shows up...and maybe you will be able to stop it all
[06.01.2015 18:14:19] [HF]-Strongest: You see, my orders are to take out any navy ship I see.
[06.01.2015 18:14:29] [HF]-Strongest: Unless I manage to turn them to us.
[06.01.2015 18:14:47] [HF]-Strongest: I can't let you get away alive under Liberty banners.
[06.01.2015 18:14:54] [HF]-Strongest: Join or die.
[06.01.2015 18:15:15] 5th|Evens-Carter: If I joined you I would never get out of Liberty Alive
[06.01.2015 18:15:25] 5th|Evens-Carter: The Navy will kill me
[06.01.2015 18:15:26] [HF]-Strongest: Oh, you would.
[06.01.2015 18:15:32] [HF]-Strongest: How am I still alive?
[06.01.2015 18:15:43] 5th|Evens-Carter: I dont have the resources you have
[06.01.2015 18:15:50] [HF]-Strongest: Is it because I'm lucky? Because I have information of your movements?
[06.01.2015 18:15:51] [HF]-Strongest: No.
[06.01.2015 18:15:58] [HF]-Strongest: It's because we are organised and prepared.
[06.01.2015 18:16:09] [HF]-Strongest: To get out at any time if things get too rowdy.
[06.01.2015 18:16:25] 5th|Evens-Carter: Hmmm
[06.01.2015 18:16:42] 5th|Evens-Carter: If I should join the Legion....
[06.01.2015 18:16:50] 5th|Evens-Carter: What will be the first step?
[06.01.2015 18:17:48] [HF]-Strongest: I will provide you with coordinates and a secure comms channel.
[06.01.2015 18:18:24] [HF]-Strongest: You will need to send your information to a Legion recruiter.
[06.01.2015 18:18:42] [HF]-Strongest: However, should you choose to betray us..
[06.01.2015 18:20:35] 5th|Evens-Carter: Very well....I choose to join you but ONLY if you get me out of here before im wanted
[06.01.2015 18:21:04] [HF]-Strongest: We can get out now.
[06.01.2015 18:21:32] 5th|Evens-Carter: Very well I have little that keeps me here...
[06.01.2015 18:21:52] [HF]-Strongest: Follow me.
[06.01.2015 18:22:38] [HF]-Strongest: You won't be able to go back once they find out you've joined the Legion.
[06.01.2015 18:22:47] [HF]-Strongest: So treason is not an option.
[06.01.2015 18:23:20] 5th|Evens-Carter: Thats fine with me...One day we might return with it reformed
He is currently waiting for further instructions. That's all I have to report.
I've meet one of our people in Magellan, who has successfully escorted me on Fort Leniex. And I have to say that, ex-Fleet Commander Joe Raison arrived for duty.
As I told you, I had specific kind of stuff on my previous vessel. I took it from one strange wreck in the Coronado's Nebula. It was gallic ship, if I'm not mistaking. Here are the results of my scanners:
I've dropped that Nomadic Stuff on Leniex for research. And... I got my new rank and ship. I'm pleasure that I'm back. See you in space, Officers.

Good day
This is First Class Evens Carter
Today on my first day of Duty I was taken on tour by |/#$@*| ::ERORR Comms interupted::
::Comms re-established::
We first headed to Planet Guadalaja and it was a sight to see indeed. He explained all there was to the planet(Not that there was much)
After that we went to the Hamboldt system(into the backyard) and we headed to the Silverton mining field where I was shown a Junker base and it was good too otherwise I might have been unknowingly stumbling into its weapon platforms.
Then we headed to a Rogue base so that I could update its location into my Nav system.
But we were forced to land due to a incoming ION storm and the tour had to end.
But here is a view of our beautiful home system.
Just wanted to thank you once again Sir for the tour and making me feel welcome to the Legion
