Subject: Report - 830/7/30 | New York Incident Report
Good evening.
Responded to an emergency in the New York system. Just near Planet Manhattan, I encountered a total of four enemy ships. They had two gunboats (one Hellhound, one Tridente), one bomber, and one Aspis, to my surprise. I assisted my fellow 46th officers in repelling the threat. The Tridente and Aspis fell to our Delta Squadron bombers, while I handled the Hellhound and Mahina Kameāloha handled the enemy bomber. It was a success, with no losses on our side. After the fight, I went to Fort Bush to end my report.

Subject: Report - 830/8/3 | California Incident Report
Good evening.
With Lieutenant Commander Mahina Kameāloha, I patrolled the California system. Nothing suspicious was present until I was surprised by the appearance of a Bison-class transport our Merchant Marine division uses, except it flew under the Rogue's colors and was heading into the direction of the Tahoe Ice Cloud. When prompted to stop, the captain of said transport ranted and began to engage my gunboat, which was unexpected behavior. I immediately retaliated and opened fire on the hostile transport until it was disabled. My ship is currently undergoing repairs at Norfolk Shipyard, while I ponder how the Rogues could have obtained such a vessel.

[03.08.2023 22:34:02] 46th|LNS-Attrition: No problem. Situation is already handled.
[03.08.2023 22:34:47] Jack.Lancer: The wreck looked like a rogue transport
[03.08.2023 22:35:10] DrengrCo.Draugr-Fg: Well done Lads.
[03.08.2023 22:35:38] 46th|LNS-Attrition: Bit unusual, but a criminal nontheless.
On a routine patrol today up and around Pennsylvania after checking the various trade lanes within the system, I took a detour towards the Driftwood Ice Asteroid Field.
Encountered an "Ex-Bundschuh" Sabre fighter belonging to a man known as Erich Kluggman hovering above the Bradford moon. Had an... amicable conversation with them about their proximity away from the trade lanes and scanned their cargo hold whilst I was at it.
It contained some Sunbucks Coffee and Donuts, a singular escape pod containing a Liberty Police officer as well as a single unit of Cardamine.
What ensued after was a check on their ship's ID which stated that they were a Freelancer with a Bundschuh IFF. A suggestion was made to get it scrubbed to a more accurate representation of who and what they represent.
What was enforced however was the relinquishment of the police officer's escape pod and to drop their Cardamine. The escape pod was received but it was noted that the individual would not be able to be rid of their Cardamine for he was currently and for the foreseeable future be indulging in it and thus would require him venting his cockpit to allow for reception of said illegal substance.
I have issued him a fine of 2000 credits and got him on his way. He was last seen on a vector towards the Zoner station of Bethlehem.
The police officer has also been returned to Planet Erie safe and sound.
Patrolmen do take note that any subsequent encounters with him will require bringing him in should he not heed the advice of staying within the trade lanes of Pennsylvania.
That will be all.

Good evening.
I responded to a distress call involving three enemy warships - two cruisers and one dreadnought near Planet Manhattan. When I arrived, they were seen attacking our contingent of two bombers and one battlecruiser, as well as an additional fighter. I engaged the hostile ships and we ended up destroying them, though not without losing some on our side. One thing to note was that the dreadnought appeared to have equipped razor-like weaponry, but fortunately, their volleys nearly missed my vessel, which could've put a serious dent to the Attrition. Another victory for us, even though we did not field heavier assets aside from the Borinquen.

I was tasked to assist Liberty assets against a Zoner incursion on Manhattan, among them were Nephilim, Aquilon, and other capital-class ships with fighter escorts. I was tasked to escort and provide heavy bomber support to the Akhetaten and Starlight, manned by Vice Admiral Uhmen and Lieutenant Commander Sanders. Led by Vice Admiral Uhmen, 46th, 5th, and secondary fleet assets dispatched all hostile capital-class ships. There were no casualties among 46th Fleet assets and very few casualties among secondary fleet assets.

Command,
The subject of my report today is a cruiser-sized AI warship, Graphene.Oxyde that I came across at the Pennsylvania jumpgate in the New York system earlier this day. The vessel initially refused to provide me with any responses while attempting to engage it's cruise engines and escape. Eventually, it would activate it's communications systems and flood the local channel with clutter that I could not make any sense of. It seems to have encountered "hostile behavior" from the Navy, and for that reason declines cooperating.
The ship eventually managed to successfully engage it's cloaking device and escape. Attached below you will find the black-box logs of the encounter.
Operative Six out.

Subject: Report - 18/08/830 | SITREP: Criminal Activity, First Armada
Fleet,
I bring interesting and high priority news to all personnel regarding a few events that took place today. First of all, I would to inform the Fleet - primarily the Admiralty - that as per my own decision, backed up by Vice Admiral Maria Uhmen, retired commodore Christopher Edwards has returned to the Navy and the Akhetaten to take the role of the commanding officer, due to my inability to do so. With the Vice Admiral having duties beyond commanding the vessel that do not allow her to find the time for it, the warship was in need of an individual who can fill in that role.
Edwards is slowly re-integrating into the Navy and the crew. For the time being, he holds the role of an advisor aboard the Akhetaten, expected to fill-in for the role of commanding officer while I oversee his actions and conduct. Once the Vice Admiral is certain that the Commodore is up to the task, he will be formally reinstated into the Fleet and crew. Until then, as far as papers are concerned, you are to treat him as the ship's commanding officer; what he says, goes. His commanding skills were already put to the test today and he prove - on his first day back in the Navy - that he is still more than capable and has everything a commanding officer needs to be effective.
Second of all, I wish to report on some of the happenings of today. Most importantly, we came across an individual, evelynn.lee, a Freelancer flying a Defender with no license to be seen. The individual was confronted for a considerably long amount of time at Norfolk where she was stopped. She claimed to be a veteran of the Navy and that some Adam Lee is coming to explain. She refused to elaborate further on who this Adam Lee was when questioned multiple times. Eventually, my patience ran out. I demanded she heads to Manhattan immediately to turn the ship over, to which she replied with that this is where she was going until we stopped her.
Annoyed by her ego at this point, I allowed her to proceed towards Manhattan and followed her. She docked on the planet, and to my surprise - not thirty seconds later - Adam Lee showed up. An "officer" of the First Armada, obviously. Miss Lee quickly undocked upon him showing up, still sporting the same Defender-class fighter. Having had enough of her bullshit, I ordered that her vessel be dismantled, which it promptly was. Then, immediately after her destruction, Adam Lee - the Officer of the First Armada - engaged the Akhetaten. With our crew not being ready to react to such a situation, the bomber managed to do a significant amount of damage to the warship - none of it permanent of course.
It should be noted that by that point the Akhetaten had faced off against an Outcast Ranseur followed by a Zoner Aquilon, back-to-back. The crew was allegedly tired and probably unable to properly react to such a situation at the time. Whichever the case, the bomber was promptly dealt with.
Fleet Admiral Kemp-Smith, Admiral Tanner, I trust the above incident to warrant your contact with the Government of Liberty. It is about time for action to be taken against Van Leer's minions.
Last but not least, I took command of the Defiance later within the day in order to bring down an Outcast cruiser belonging to the Imperial Coalition and help in taking down another Outcast cruiser accompanied by an Outcast bomber and a Freelancer fighter, both of which escaped. The freelancer, Mariam.Fischer, is someone to keep an eye on. Watch out for her and make her pay for what she did.

Subject: Report - 10.10.830 | Recon Mission
Good evening,
This is going to be a brief summary of the recon mission that took place on the 10th of October. The Essex alongside several of our snubcraft met up at Norfolk, about half an hour prior to the estimated time of departure. Several ships from both the fifth and the first fleet joined our efforts. Upon the Akhetaten's arrival we were cleared to launch, had the snubcraft dock in each one of the capital ships on scene and used the temporary jumphole provided by warship Odyssey to enter the Earhart system.
Initially there were a few navigational issues as the battlegroup was split in two and had to navigate around the hostile defensive installations first before reuniting around one of the jumpholes. Due to the intense radiation the snubcraft were only cleared for launch minutes before the recon fleet, comprised of a Rhino-class transport vessel equipped with a mining array, several snubcraft and a Defiant-class gunboat, received the green light to head into the Uncharted 3 system.
As I personally was not part of the recon fleet I can't provide many details about the system or what happened in there as of now, but I'm sure the transport's black box data will provide all required information. Two freelancing research vessels entered our defensive perimeter and offered assistance with out mission which we obviously declined, especially since a snubcraft of the Technocracy arrived. It mostly remained at a safe distance and engaged in occasional chatter with Commodore Edwards.
The Recon fleet arrived back in Earhart shortly after, deposited their cargo aboard the Anchorage and Essex respectively and docked to the capital ships immediately. The only exit that we found lead us to the Orkney system, resulting in a rather intense trip home which luckily didn't have us run into any of Gallia's nor Bretonia's patrols. Once the fleet arrived at Norfolk each ship unloaded its cargo onto a transport vessel and docked to be checked for any possible radiation damage.
I'm personally looking forward to the next expedition, despite how difficult to plan these are in this ever-changing enviroment that is the Earhart system. That would be all.

Reporting today's encounters.
Some few encounters that happened in a short period of time are leading me to this report.
I started my shift for regular patrols shortly before meeting Alpha-2. I found them fighting off Rogue vessels around Norfolk Shipyard before joining the gunfight.
After destroying the vessel, we made our way back to Norfolk and got a new Mission Debrief. More Rogue units hade been spotted somewhere in the Detroit Debris Field.
We immediately took off after some minor restocks, and took the trade lane to West Point.
Reaching the coordinates of the sight, we encountered the besaid enemies. Not too trained, but surely enough to cause chaos.
Under them a vessel that's been around for some time.
Frank Costello.
While changing some words, the Rogue vessel changed it's mind of being semi-peaceful and decided to attack my ship.
I was able to fight it off and we made our way back to Manhatten.
We encountered a Freelancer and had a short conversation before I landed for some minor repairs.
I'm thinking the Rogues are out of plan. Their fighters were not coordinated, neither skilled. Besides the one known.
That being said, no threats left for now.
An outro.

Subject: Report - 04.12.830 | Zoner terror
A sudden threat has been extinguished
I came from a press conference suspecting nothing but a normal day of patrols around New York and near systems.
When I reached space after taking off from Manhatten, I immediately noticed the surrounding stations firing at four vessels.
Each vessel's transponder showed Zoner.. but in reality they were pirates and made no secret about it.
They called me a war criminal and made sure I noticed that they want to attack my vessel.
One of them asked their leader to take me on, and so he tried.
I took down the very heavy snubcraft and noticed that the heavy one will engage me immediately after.
Taking down the second one, I took a short second to breath and catch sight of the remaining enemies.
I looked out for the two remaining vessels just to see a bomber and a gunboat thrusting into my direction.
They were chasing me now and I made up a plan to evade shots and still take down the bomber.
Being successful, I gained distance from the gunboat and noticed one of our members in a similar vessel coming up.
I made my way to Fort Bush for repairs and ended duty early.
No more threat for now, they will come back very likely.
