It was my first patrol. I started preparing for the flight, the order of the board and a few things. I flew from West Point and got a call from BoWex, we found that the pirates attacked. Immediately flew to them. After checking the data began defense of their ships BoWex. With my hand was killed in one of two pilots. Next was killed by the combined fire of all ships. In addition, I offered them an escort in the ridges Liberty. My escort was over at Jump Gate to Cortez
Then, together with the second rookie flew to Fort Bush, where he was Officer. When we got there, we received information that the pirates are in Pennsylvania. Immediately we went. On site we found two ships under the flag of rogues. From the hands of the allied bomber was killed, and the Light fighter was killed by an Officer of higher rank.
Beginning my run today from Illinois, I headed for Planet Manhattan to post there and watch for Cardamine runners from the scrap fields. Sometime later, a GMG freighter, callsign Xabo, was scanned by myself and found to have Cardamine, coming from West Point. Myself and Navy fighter Ghost-1 pursued this vagrant to Pittsburgh, where we attacked and forced his ship down onto the planet. (PvP death after losing shield/nanos). Afterwards system traffic began to buzz about a force of Legion pirates that had begun a raid on West Point.
Responding immediately, I headed for West Point - and shortly after engaging some of the bombers harrying LoneOne and Navy Battleship Omaha a pair of Outcast dreadnoughts engaged, with fighter escort and dragging a token force of some kind of pirates with them, Mogo-something. They only had a few fighters, and the LaneHacker gunship MorbidManta also stepped in to assist the pirate assault.
After almost forty minutes of pitched battle, with both original LN ships destroyed and my own fighter taking heavy damage, I was forced to retreat. My laser cannons were pitiful compared to the firepower wielded by this pirate menace, and all I could really do was pin down a fighter's shields.
At Manhattan I began squawking for allied reinforcements. Two more liberty battleships, a cruiser, and a gunboat all responded and swarmed West Point, driving off the attackers after another twenty minutes of pitched fighting. In the end, most of the Legion fighters, a rogue Werewolf, and the Lane Hacker were all destroyed, but the Outcast fleet retreated with nary a bloody nose. Whatever drove them off, it wasn't LPI or the Liberty Navy....perhaps they got what they came for.
Later, returning to the Police Plaza, I encountered a pair of Xenos fighters attempting to make a Navy transport Pliik drop his cargo of Xeno pilots. Understandable, but they were still pirates and I engaged them as soon as they opened fire on the Pliik, after he dropped his cargo anyway. (// OORP: I think I might have violated the RoE doing this, at least the Xenos seemed to think so - I broke off after damaging one of their ships and left, rather than push the issue.) The freighter was unfortunately destroyed, since they were both flying Roc bombers and, while they don't pose much threat to a Liberator were more than enough to destroy a transport. This occured in the scrap field between the New York jump gate and Planet Denver. Nothing else of note happened on partol.
Striking the key for send, Desmond then promptly collapsed on his desk, too tired to even power off the holographic display.
Came on duty, and found RO Desmond Timothy flying around. We escorted a transport carring Light Arms to Sugarland, and the heeded a distress call. One James Kerland, a Rogue, had just shot down a freighter full of refugees. We tracked him to california, with an LN Cruiser in support. He ran to the Alcatraz depot, where we beagn to harry him; he gave up and escaped to the base after that.
There were some slavers in texas.. yawn.. may be completing this report after lunch will be good.. paperwork, anyway..
This was a short one. Patrol under Officer Steven Harris; we rushed to manhattan following a pirate incursion. We were outgunned by three rogues; I got hit by a couple of nukes and was done for. Officer Harris gave a good account of himself.. but libertaors are outgunned by VHFs. He was gunned down.
Good evening this is Henrique.Beatus here! Im now giving you a patrol report over my past 3 patrols in Liberty.
My first patrol started good. Liberty was calm, no pirates at all until Mr Brian showed up outside norfolk shipyard. The ship he used told me he was a order. Apperantly a recruit. Well anyway i had to kill him because he didnt obeyed my orders and he was a danger to the civilians around him.
Later on i met a pirate that used a civilian transport ship. The ship name was "Hexenhammer" and i destroyed this ship not only because the Cpt was a danger to the civilans but also in selfdefence. Thats right, he tryed to kill me, and if Mr Rusty and Mr -cut- hadnt showed up it would have been a long night for me. Me in my LF versus a transport ship. After that Liberty was calm again for a while. And this was my first patrol.
My 2nd patrol started in NY but i soon headed to Texas. And not long after i arrived i met my first problem.
The ship name was "Titanic". It was a Kusari transport ship and the Cpt onboard had some strange thoughts.
He thought it was OK to trade beetwen Rheinland and Liberty. I dont know how he thought there so i asked him politely if he ever had heard about the war beetwen Rheinland and Liberty, the answer was no.
I founded this hard to believe but i didnt do moore then to ask him to drop his cargo which was Beryllium.
Then i told him to never do that trade run again, because its illegal and gaved him a advise to learn about Liberty Laws a bit moore.
I didnt had time to catch a breath until problem number two arrived, the ship name was "Harad_Rim".
At my first look i saw directly that this was a Rheinland built transport ship, and i was right.
This Cpt did know about the war, but he stated he was not here to trade, he was just exploring.
Well i told him that he could explore how much he wanted, only not in that ship here in Liberty.
He looked a bit confused but he agreed on our law and leaved Liberty space nice and calm.
This was my 2nd patrol.
My 3rd patrol started in California, but soon after i went to NY. There i met two Bowex ships named Gladstone and Miranda. I offered the Captains escort out of Liberty which they said yes to.
After i had watched the two Bowex ships jump into cortez i went back to NY. In the lane beetwen California JG and WP i met a ship i never thought i meet in NY. A Zoner Capital Ship, ship type "Juggernaut".
I managed to stop it outside WP.
I demanded a explanation why this ship was here in NY. The Cpt of the ship named "Fromgar" sounded a bit confused. The explanation i got from the Cpt was that he used this ship to trade Gold with.
A number of questions come to my mind, was he high? Did he have psykologic problems?
Or was he a Terrorist trying to destroy NY? I didnt exactly ask the Cpt these questions, partly that the ship he had and partly it would be plainly stupidity. I do not know how i managed this, but i managed him to understand our laws and he agreed to leave Liberty space. But then he lost control over his ship and crashed into planet Houston. After this Liberty was calm again for a while.
And that was my report over my last 3 patrols in Liberty.

First patrol with Officer John Aryn, we patrolled around the seemingly quiet trade lanes and gates. Very little activity. I guess not too bad for a first run through New York.
We made our way to the equally quiet Colorado system after patrolling New York for a while. Once there we hooked up with a Gunboat where Officer John Aryn then left us. I was escorted through to Illinois. There I was helped with preparing and refitting my ship.
Started the shift with a patrol of New York on my own, it was quiet and uneventful. I checked the gates and trade lanes before moving on to the Texas system.
Sitting near Battleship Mississippi, I stopped freighters and other craft for scans. While there I forwarded a Bretonian ship to New York about a Rheinland representative who wished to enter Liberty space. I sent them to find the Navy to deal with them.
Shortly after, Navy ships started to pour in. During their arrival I was alerted of a ship carrying Slaves. They refused all my warnings and requests for them to cut their engines and drop his cargo. After a long chase, I managed to disrupt his engines, where he then tried to engage me. I continued to order him to stop and drop the cargo.
In return he continued to fire, so I was forced to engage him. The ship was the "Winner.Wolf".
I docked at Huntsville for a short break. After leaving I found a Rogue ship hitting the trade lanes quite close to Houstan. Preventing a Bretonian capital ship and it's Liberty battlecruiser escort from using them.
I waited to see if either would respond to the rogue before I moved in myself, neither responded to him. So I hailed him, ordered him to lower his shields and hand himself in. Instead I was mocked then fired on. I engaged the Rogue whilst a nearby ship with a Freelancer IFF began to engage me as well.
After a short while, neither side was prevailing. Though my shields kept getting taken down, I sent out a mayday, and Navy ships responded, chasing the Rogue and Freelancer off. The Rogue ship was the "Laser.Muncher" and the Freelancer was "Night.Hawk". Both escaped/were chased off towards on of the gas clouds. The engagement took place in sector E3.
One of the Navy ships said to disengage as the ships headed into/further towards the gas cloud. I thanked him for the help, and headed back to Huntsville. Where I repaired and took the time to take notes on the events.
I later headed to Illinois to hook up with the recently promoted Sergeant John Aryn, taking formation with his gunboat and with another Liberator we began a patrol through Colorado and into New York. The other Liberator left us and another recruit joined the patrol.
It was quiet for a while, though the system comms suggested something was up. We patrolled the system, checking gates and the trade lanes in New York. One of which I found a Corsair ship. I instantly reported it to the Sergeant. I took a closer look and found the ship was a gunboat. After Sergeant Aryn arrived, the corsair engaged him. In which I assisted. We managed to defeat the ship a short while after, just after the other recruit joined us again after his patrol towards another gate.
We stopped at Norfolk, where the other recruit was sent to patrol towards another gate, while we sat there. A transport ship appeared, which we stopped. On board they had 700 or so slaves. We managed to eventually get them to be dropped, a nearby carrier picked them up for us. As we did not have the cargo holds to get them to a station.
Refusing to pay the fine of 1,000,000 that the Sergeant issued, he was forced to destroy the slaver's ship and take his pod.
After that, the Sergeant got a message from a Navy ship regarding a "Rogue" carrier. We were asked to intercept and disrupt it as it headed towards Area 21, but he responded saying we do not take orders from Navy. Though one of us would most likely have gone down against that kind of fire-power.
Instead, we moved into the Norfolk area, and waited until we were asked to make a perimeter around the entrance to Area 21. Where no ships were to come in or out. All other Navy vessels were engaged either inside or patrolling nearby. Only a single navy gunboat was approved to go through by the Sergeant's Navy contact for the operation.
Aryn was later relieved and we were joined by another Swat gunboat. After a while we were no longer needed at the Area 21 entrance. Instead made a brief patrol through New York, where I monitored traffic in the Net. Scanning ships at random.
We made it into California, where we broke up the patrol and ended our shifts. I made a quick run through New York, where I noticed 3 pirates threatening someone 13k from the Trade Lane to Manhatten from West Point. I cruised back and listened in, though did not dare enter the debris field. They tried robbing the person, but they did not have the money. Instead letting him/her go.
Upon leaving, the pilot offered their services for smuggling. Perhaps they should be looked out for, just in case. The hostile ships were "the.Amaranth", "Rawrr" and "Highrise". The pilot victim to their threats and demands was "Silekar" and he was also the one offering smuggling services to the pirates.

Stops on your patrol/trade route: New York, Alberta Brief report/outline of your patrol: I had a funny feeling about the Alberta system today. So I went there and sure enough, I ran into a junker hauling more than 3000 units of Cardamine. To make it even more crazy I found him in the middle of open space, not near anything. No nebulas, lanes, not even a space rock. He must have been so shocked to see me he couldn't run. He cooperated and handed over the cargo which was incinerated on the spot.
On a different occasion I assisted in bringing down a rheinland cruiser in new york. Pictures included.

[font=Georgia]Greetings everyone,
I don't want to see complains about my work and rumors how I can't do the field work as any ordinary officer in space. Gentleman, I'm presenting you criminal hunt in California system which was exactly as planned:
On my way to the Riverside station I noticed one Rogue who was already in deep crime by disrupting the trade lane and disrupted lane is going to lead his actions only in to the act of piracy, which is threat to our great economy. He fled into the rocks, tried to loose me off scanner but the fact was I was in one of the greatest Liberty fighters, which is listed as Navy primary one. After he couldn't escape he tried his luck with weapons. I must admit that I was a bit lost in the field of rocks and our training in police isn't designed for such situations. My former experience in Bretonian Armed Force saved me back there.
As soon as I finished with Rogue, I received distress call from Manhattans tower. They said something huge is closing in, something that didn't identify to their request. Knowing that I can't do anything back there I called LSF in help, they did dispatched one cruiser to aid me. I returned to the Riverside and took the only boat we had there, "Fort Dix". On the scene we had chance of seeing one big Outcast battleship who actually was Outcast from the Outcast, he wasn't nice at all and the shooting started. I could feel the fear of all civilians nearby, but good part was they all managed to run away and hide. All in all, we managed to destroy that vessel and send captain to hell along with his sick crew that was threat to all civilians.
