To: VA command

Subject: After action report

Earlier yesterday a combined force consisting of an LSF cruiser and fighter, as well as my personal flagship captured a smuggler by the name of Carlos Benitez. After transferring his capsule to my hold, I delivered him to the prisoner holding facility on Manhattan.

A few hours later, we got a tip that an escape was being planned, so a small force consisting of SA and LSF fighters and gunboats was called together to guard the Prison Transport on the way to LPI Sugarland.

Long range scans quickly detected a huge unfriendly force moving around the Texas system so a direct route was obviously impossible. Considering the options, I split the fleet and took direct command of the transport. The main force moved through the Texas jump gate in the most obvious route to distract the enemy gathering, while myself, along with a gunboat and fighter snuck through the California system. The diversion was successful, and Benitez arrived at the Sugarland station without incident. Soon after, the enraged pirates started bombarding the LPI causing severe damage to several decks. It was decided that the prisoner had to be moved to a more secure facility under the planetary shields of Houston. Although the transport took heavy fire, it survived and delivered our guest to Houston safely.

Sadly, in spite of all our effort, Benitez was rescued by a small force of Corsairs soon afterward. The information we received from him is still being processed, but should prove useful in the future.

Well done to all involved, your bonuses are in the system.
