To the Admiralty and High Command:
Commander Graham, XO Mount Hood reporting. Myself and VADM Davies began standard patrol operations within the system of Texas, in orbit of Planet Houston at 1930 hours. At 1955 hours, contact report was established by mercenary Luisa Game of Faze Mercenaries organization. One-times Cruiser and one-times Gunboat of Rheinland origin were spotted exiting the New Hampshire jump hole.
At 1958 hours, Davies raised the alarm to Condition Two, and ordered a defensive perimeter established around Planet Houston. At 1959 hours, additional contact was met as Rheinland fighter-craft began to pour out of the jump hole, approximately 2 wings of fighters at greatest intensity. As we began to move to Condition One, the bulk of the Rheinland fleet jumped in, totalling one-times Battleship, two-times Carrier, five-times Cruiser and two-times Gunboat, plus two full wings of fighter craft. Liberty fleet totalled one-times Carrier, three-times Dreadnaught, two-times Battlecruiser, one-times Gunboat and fifteen-times fighter craft, approximately one wing of Navy fighters, one wing of Police fighters, and one wing of combined Freelancer and Mercenary craft.
2013 hours - contact initiated, with a tactical retreat to Houston being staged while fighter craft, commanded on the scene by Luisa Game (previously mentioned mercenary), held off Rheinland bombers.
2019 hours - capital ship warfare initiated. 2021 hours marked the destruction of the LNS Fishbarrel, one-times Liberty Dreadnaught, by the RNC Nidhogg, apparent flagship of the fleet, one-times Rheinland Carrier. Immediately following the destruction of the Fishbarrel was the destruction of the Rheinland battleship Roon.
At 2023 hours, one-times Liberty Carrier, callsign Extraction Point was destroyed by the Nidhogg. 2024 hours marked the engagement of RNC by T&T/ vessels in self-defense, to minimal aid of the Navy forces.
2025 hours - the Mount Hood scored a positive kill on one-times BDM gunboat, U-13, via long-range missile bombardment. 2025 hours also marked the destruction of the LABC LNS Northampton by the Rheinland cruiser Wallenstein.

At 2028 hours, RNC Munich destroyed J/T&T Chromulus, and was subsequently engaged by the remaining fleet. The Mount Hood, the only remaining capital vessel other than the Mountain King, a Dreadnought, was fired upon by numerous RNC vessels before being disabled in low Houston orbit.
Planetary defense networks confirmed that Liberty forces routed after loss of capital vessels c. 2040 hours. Salvage and repair operations by the LLS Lakewood, Savo Island and White Mage are underway on the Mount Hood, and operational capability is to be restored within 72 hours.
