Changing the ship is recommended. It is an Order vessel, correct? Obtaining one of these vessels may be possible but upon its loss aquiring another may be difficult.

My train took off from Pueblo Station today after a few days' break, and began the long route back to Newcastle with Trade lane parts. When in Cortez, my sensors officer detected an HF, which we encountered at Planet Curacau. We were able to safely get to Scarborough Station in Newcastle to a few thankfully lucky situations. It is to our belief that the trade lane behind us was disabled, and allowed us to gain a large lead on the HF.
In New London, we were able to successfully shake the pilot, and moved through Leeds and Newcastle with minimal distraction. Intelligence sources say that the HF was destroyed, possibly the work of BAF or BPA forces.
New London was a troubling place, though. The HF, [HF]-Photuin, mentioned that he "used to be one of your [our] pilots." I believe it may be safe to assume that the previous cadet Photuin has defected from the Bretonian Military to the Hellfire Legion unless other notification is obtained.
Additionally, we have received reports from the Horizon that it has been decommissioned as this ship won the bid for a new platform. The parts and materials from the old medical frigate will be placed upon the new SFMF-Horizon. Funds are currently being extracted to obtain the necessary monetary requirements, and goods are being traded to help supplement this.

Comm ID: Admiral Firebird Re: Inspection
Reminder that an inspection of all SF vessels will be conducted on Friday, September 28th. Ships not responding to roll call and found to have failed inspection will find their vessels dismantled (deleted). Ships that have responded to roll call will be offered support by higher ranked members to ensure their ships are not dismantled and are brought up to code ASAP. In the unlikely event that a roll called ship looks like it will fail the Friday inspection, then they *MUST provide the following information before that date:
1. What has been done to bring the ship up to code?
2. What still needs to be done?
3. What has prevented the ship from being made ready?

I've been mildly miffed by one-shot weapons since their implementation, oh so long ago. I remember the days when fights were a matter of who could aim better, rather than who could aim a single shot. - Virus
While on patrol in Cambridge in my new Templar, I encountered the Traitor Photuin in a Hellfire heavy fighter.
I regret to inform Command that I was unable to cool the rage in my heart. I was uninterested in Protocol, demanding surrender, or any such niceties. I only wanted his head, and attacked swiftly.
To go from serving Bretonia to Hellfire so quickly, reveals him to be a man of no principles whatsoever. I was his wingman in the past, and he mine, on many ocassions, deep in Kusari space. I suppose it all meant nothing to a blackheart like him.
I engaged him near the New London Jumpgate. After an even battle, my Mini-Razors and the Templar's heavy armor prevailed, and I vaporized his ship.
I regret that it appears that IMG agents spirited his pod to safety. I could not find him afterwards.
Next time, IMG will not save you Photuin. I will have your head, and will present it to my Admiral.

Granted the death of the traitor known as Photuin would bring some small satisfaction, but do not loose yourself in the process of killing or capturing him. Many have lost themselves to such hatred. Do not forget, our duties are to the citizens of Bretonia first, our homes and families. He has forgotten that, be sure not to do the same.
