Today, we have had an invasion into our core, New York system, by several order vessels, including a zoner Juggernaut with order ID. They were spotted in restricted area, and headed out of Zone-21, following a course paralell to Norfolk -> West Point trade lane. There, they were intercepted by our forces, which, not without som casualties, managed to pull them out, destroying all their ships.
As soon as we knew about the incoming hostiles, i broadcasted a system-wide alert, requesting civilians ships to dock, and ordering all naval and military vessels to report. After a couple minutes, these were the ships available for duty, with their status at battle end:
Liberty Security Force:
- =LSF=Mike.Edwards(B) - Ageira Bomber - Survived
Another event to report. Zoner-Expeditionary.532, in a Battlestar Advanced, was found parked over Manhattan. After beeing requested several times to leave Liberty, appeared to comply. He headed then for rochester base and docked, even when reminded that he was asked to leave, because of the current ban on foreign Battleships in Liberty space.
After beeing reminded, once again, the situation, the Zoner-Expeditionary.532 battleship undocked, and is currently leaving our House space. Even after this, i recommend extreme caution.. they have been seen in restricted areas, and now violating that ban and ignoring officer orders cant be a good thing.
SITUATION UPDATE:
manhattan: Zoner vessels 532, 565, and 589, two first in Battlestar adv, last one in battlestar, in orbit. They seem to be in battle formation, in a row. We're trying to deal with the situation.. they ask for free passage, bringing this battlefleet for it. I request LSF/SA high command to take action on this.

/// 565 departed next to manhattan. And 532, and 589 not sure where. But near New York or inside, for sure. Not a good thing.

In regards to Mr. Edwards report, the Battlestars departed, thankfully without bloodshed. However, this is not good. Foreign Capital ships should not be permitted to enter period. Save those from bretonia, but still only under special circumstances. I hereby suggest a ban on ALL foreign capital ships, under penalty of termination if they do not leave.
My opinion.

All Zoner Expeditionary forces are hereby banned from Liberty. Due to your continued disrespect for our laws, and due to prior warnings you were given about breaking them I'm afraid I have no choice but to insue a full ban to all your forces in Liberty space. As soon as you enter Liberty your forces will be asked to leave on sight, if they refuse, my dear sirs we will destroy your ships one by one until there are none left. Good luck and may you find luck elsewhere. When you start showing respect for our laws and the officers upholding it, the ban might be lifted.
The Corsair gunboat, Spawn was disrupted in its cruise of the New York system by =LSF=.Sabre and subsequently caught and destroyed by LSF gunboat Point.Hope

After a long chase throughout the New York system by KingValiant and General Kaitlynn, an Outcast Gunboat was caught by Sabre (having just entered the system) and quickly destroyed by the guns of the Citadelle de la Quebec and two Avengers.

The Corsair gunboat, Spawn was again found in conflict with Liberty law, and after a long chase through Alaska, subsequently caught and destroyed by the same trio of vessels.
The Zoner destroyer William_McDuff, after being ordered to drop its cargo, only dropped part, and was opened fire upon by LNS.Dave.Ellison, =LSF=.Sabre, and [SA]-Basil.Crookey(B). It jumped to an undisclosed system and was followed and subsequently destroyed by the three. The Order heavy fighter Mirage.Bre'Delakorsa was also engaged and destroyed in the fight after attacking Basil.

Greetings High Command. I apologise for not making a report in the last few days, I have been laid low with a broken fibula from a fight with an Outcast. (OOC: I've had exams)
I can report however that a gunboat by the name of "Trinity" approached me and handed me evidence of a trader that had been smuggling.
Now, apparently this trader is a regular smuggler, but manages to sometimes sneaks past patrols. I suggest we keep an eye out for him and have him pay the fine for at least this incident: http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/1545/...110mz6.jpg

Navyman recruit Vinnie reporting in. After a short and pleasant encounter with a Lane Hacker in California on his way to Magellan(needless to say he never made it) he now has a new home on Manhattan in a nice 6 by 10 cell. I then proceeded to treat myself to a cockpit upgrade. I will be returning to space when work on my ship is complete.

Today, was a glorious day, as we launched not one, but two attacks against the Order Homeworld, both being very successful, but the second had a very.... interesting ending
-------------------------------------------
1st Attack
We noticed several hostiles in the system beyond Z21, so, we went to investigate
As soon as we entered, they jumped to Omicron Minor, but, following TheWise and Mavericks instructions, we jumped to Omicron Minor, during the first fight I was only there for the very end of it, but I was in all battes after that.
As soon as we jumped, I think we engaged a Huntress, which we destroyed, we then went to Planet Toledo where we encountered another Huntress, a Corsair GB, Numerous Fighters and a Bomber
We then left because there were no more foes to crush beneath our boots,
Several Zoner Expeditionarys, OPG, and Individual Order and corsairs
During this, the Zoner Expeditionary announced its alliance with the Corsairs and the Order, and it declared war with Liberty
I have not found all the shots from my black box recorder yet, but as soon as I do, I'll put them here.
[Transmission end]
//OOC: I'm too tired to find all my screenies, but I'll post em up tomorrow morning, including the Zoners admitting to their Alliance with the Order and the Corsairs, but for now, I've got the death messages from the first battle

Subject: Re: Attack on Order
Though I was asleep at the time, I must say that I openly object to this attack, as well as future attacks on the Order homeworld.
I await a comment from the High Command.

OOC(We don't know where the Order homeworld is. We are not to enter Minor in full force under any circumstance. If the Navy/LSF really knew where Toledo/Isis was, the Order would no longer exist. The reason why the Order is so successful is their ability to stay secret.)
