Field Report 07/31/828
Long range scanners on the Wainwright detected a Core transport was passing by Planet Los Angeles whilst we were preparing for our next task, so we departed the area to halt it for questioning, following recent incidents with Core forces in the Omicron region.
At first, the captain of the transport refused to follow the given orders to stop, until reaching the Cortez Jump Gate perimeter. Scans showed it was hauling Iridium, likely taken from The Core's mining sites in Delta, into Crayter space. The captain accused us of "grouping with The Wild" and pointed that the Potomac, an Archer-class cruiser assisting us, was under their control. These baseless accusations were ignored and taken as nothing more than the propaganda The Core spreads frequently in the Omicrons about groups such as The Order.
The transport was ordered to turn around and follow our escorts out of Liberty space. After reaching the Fort Bush junction, the transport halted and refused to follow. It made an attempt to run into the Colorado system, however it was intercepted by the Potomac and destroyed by our gunnery crew for not following our directives.
Navy units in the Cortez system reported Outcast activity and as such our task group headed there to support. During the clash within the system, we succesfully disabled an Outcast battlecruiser with our newly-upgraded forward battery. Guncams of the skirmish and the incident with The Core's transport are attached below.

[31.07.2021 16:01:08] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Does The Core maintain an aggressive stance towards Liberty ships in the Omicrons? We have had several incidents.
[31.07.2021 16:02:08] LNS-Potomac|Aoi: Henry: Reports state quite open hostilities, Fort Wainwright-actual. The political situation is unknown however.
[31.07.2021 16:02:11] APM-Logistical.Control: Yea, I heard about one incident in Omicron Nu. I dont know whats happening between Core and Liberty.
[31.07.2021 16:02:55] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: So you are not aware of The Core's relation with Liberty?

[31.07.2021 16:05:05] LNS-Des.Moines: I think I've heard better excuses to get a pass.
[31.07.2021 16:05:11] LNS-Potomac|Aoi: Henry: Core vessel, please refrain from referring to the LSF as "wild". While their tactics may be seen as almost--
[31.07.2021 16:05:19] LNS-Potomac|Aoi: loose cannons, your insults will get you nowhere.
[31.07.2021 16:05:22] LNS-Des.Moines: Please Convoy leader, we recommend to behave accordingly to our demands.
[31.07.2021 16:05:53] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: At any rate, turn around and follow us our of Liberty space. Attempts to escape will result in your vessel's destruction.

[31.07.2021 16:09:59] APM-Logistical.Control: Where we are heading? And what I've done so bad?
[31.07.2021 16:10:03] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: We expect no less from their kind.
[31.07.2021 16:10:43] LNS-Potomac|Aoi: Henry: That really isn't of our concern, APM vessel.
[31.07.2021 16:10:56] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Until the situation with The Core is resolved, all Core ships are to be escorted out.
[31.07.2021 16:10:58] APM-Logistical.Control: What I've done so bad?
[31.07.2021 16:11:07] LNS-Potomac|Aoi: Henry: Continue on pace.
[31.07.2021 16:11:09] LNS-Des.Moines: It is nothing personal.

[31.07.2021 16:13:19] LNS-Potomac|Aoi: Henry: Align with the Fort Bush lane.
[31.07.2021 16:14:53] APM-Logistical.Control: There is no conflict between Core and Liberty...
[31.07.2021 16:15:00] APM-Logistical.Control: This doesnt make a sense...
[31.07.2021 16:15:03] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Follow us and keep the comms closed.
[31.07.2021 16:15:10] APM-Logistical.Control: No.
[31.07.2021 16:15:14] APM-Logistical.Control: I will not.
[31.07.2021 16:15:15] LNS-Potomac|Aoi: Henry: Excuse me?
[31.07.2021 16:15:23] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Destroy the ship.

[31.07.2021 16:17:28] LNS-Des.Moines: And we are tired of your accusations of the Cruiser vessel.
[31.07.2021 16:17:43] LNS-Des.Moines: So better bring up better excuses up on the table or comply.
[31.07.2021 16:17:50] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Forward batteries, lock on. We don't accept those who don't follow our orders within Liberty.
[31.07.2021 16:17:54] LNS-Potomac|Aoi: Henry: Activating the Arrow.
[31.07.2021 16:18:09] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: CIC: Open up. Siege cannon ready.
