Date: May 19, 822 A.S. Officers: Steven Baker (RO), Lieutenant Upton, Officers of the 5th|: John Sader, John Armada Systems: New York, Pennsylvania Notable Encounters: ALG Ship importing Diamonds, Nomad Encounter
I began my Patrol at Planet Manhattan and shortly afterwards encountered some Navy ships also on patrol so we joined forces and patrol together .
At first everything was calm until the TLAGSNET picked up an ALG Vessel coming from Rheinland Space and after scanning the Vessel i confirmed the presence of diamonds on board and our little patrol group intercepted the ALG Vessel at Norfolk Shipyard. After halting the Vessel the Captain complied with our demand to drop the Contraband and after paying a fine was allowed to continue on. The Contraband was collected by an 5th| Supportship and brought to Newark Station, the resulting Profit has been forwarded to Leavenworth. See included Evidence.
After proceeding with my Patrol we encountered 2 "Sascya" Type Nomad ships and after a short fight we could destroy the first one on the backside of Planet Erie in Pennsylvania and after a small hunt across the New York system we could destroy the second fighter in the Detroid Debri Field.
Shortly afterwards i ended my Patrol.
Included are Evidence-pictures of the ALG Vessel transporting the Contraband as well as Log entrys concerning the total amount of Profit made by that Cargo as well as the log entry of the profit being forwarded to Leavenworth
Date: May 20, 822 A.S. Officers: Steven Baker (RO), Lieutenant Masket , 5th| Webb, Darius John Systems: New York, California, Colorado Notable Encounters: Rogue Destroyer, Outcast Fighters, Hellfire Attack, BMM Slaver
Today my Patrol started at Fort Bush, and like the day before the patrol was quiet for some time, but an hour into the patrol i encountered an Rogue Destroyer at the California Gate in New York. I asked him to clear the Lane and when he refused i kept my Distance and called for reinforcement. Luckily an 5th Bomber was in the system and engaged the Destroyer...sadly he didnt managed to bring the rogues to justice and after some time an additional 5th took over the shadowing. After that i resumed my patrol.
Shortly thereafter i encountered some outcast fighters near Norfolk Shipyard, where the weapon dealer Cody held his 5th Anniversary. And together with an 5th Fighter i engaged the criminals and a few minutes later Sugarland had 2 new inmates.
After an hour of calmness we (Me and some 5th Pilots) were informed of an Hellfire Gunboat in Colorado and Officer Webb of the 5th decided to launch an surprise attack, which sadly failed.
After a few minutes Combat at became obvious that the Battle was not in our favor so we disengaged from the Fight and headed for New York to regroup. To give the big ships a chance to retreat i drew the enemys fire and used the Liberators superior speed to escape myself when all allied ships were out of range. No Ships were lost in that Engagement
After Regrouping in New York a Hellfire Battleship joined the HF Gunboat as well as 2 fighters (at the end of the Fight an additional VHF joined the surviving HF Ships) and a Bomber.
On our side we were reinforced with additional Capital ships and Snubcraft and after an pitched Battle we managed to get the upperhand and destroyed most of the enemy vessels
When the Battle was clearly in our favor me and Lieutenant Masket, that joined our Group after the regrouping in New york, resumed our Patrol.
Half an hour before my shift ended we caught an BMM Vessel hauling over 4000 Slaves and intercepted him before he had any chance to escape.
Luckily for the captives he complied with our demand to release them and after paying a fine the BMM Vessel was allowed to proceed.
My shift ended 20 Min later and i landed back at Fort Bush.
As soon as I started my patrol today, I heard of trouble in Colorado. Recruit officer Baker was engaged with the HF, and were falling back. As I waited to meet them in New York an artifact smuggler in a Kusari advanced train showed up. He insisted that his cargo was legal because the artifacts were "sorted". After he continued to show a bad attitude and failed to comply, I had him "sorted"
The rest of the patrol is well covered by Baker's report. I'm including some of my own guncams of the same events, particularly the Hellfire Legion's flagship going down in flames. Just like the good old days...
Colorado was swimming with pirates today, and some spilled into New York. I went to go check it out and ran into a rogue named "Burst" at the Colorado gate, I caught him in the act of pirating a trader, and attempted to stop him. I was able to arrest him but not before the transport was destroyed.
THEN! an outcast appeared. I shot him.
THEN! A xeno appeared. I shot him.
THEN! a slaver appeared on TLAGSNET, we tracked him down in Manhattan Orbit. We ordered him to drop the slaves, and he did... but as I was about to call for a grizzly to pick them up... he shot the cryo pods right there in space... killing all of them. There was a passing patrol ship that managed to tractor in a few, but I don't anticipate more than 20 survivors at best... We opened fire on the transport and sent him into manhattan's atmosphere in pieces.
In other news we have unconfirmed reports... that Bubba may have escaped from Sugarland. 5th fleet reports seeing him in New York looking for new cell mates to take home with him...
Sugarland security confirms there was a riot and one of the airlocks was blown, but they haven't taken attendance yet of the inmates to see who is missing.
Date: May 31, 822 A.S. Officers: Steven Baker (O) Systems: New York Notable Encounters: Synthetic Marijuana Smuggler
A very short but rather sucessfull Patrol.
Shortly after undocking and turning on TLAGSNET i noticed an ship carrying Synthetic Marijuana and intercepted it for a closer inspection.
The Captain of the suspect ship complied with my order to stop his ship and after confirming that he wasnt a Cryer employe, i informed him that he is transporting contraband and ordered him to hand it over. He at first refused stating that Synthetic Marijuana is legal in Liberty and with that he send me an outdated list of contraband.
I directed him to our laws and after i restated my order he complied by dropping his cargo and paying his fine of 2 million.
After that i ended my patrol again.
Name: John Doe Masket Rank: Lieutenant Subject: Patrol Report
I started my patrol in California, and by watching TLAGSNET I noticed "DeathCollector" a known rogue destroyer was lurking about. He had been chased off many times before, and he just doesn't seem to learn. So I figured it was time to send the point home. I tweaked the loadout on my upholder for twin novas, and went to track him down.
I caught him heading towards fort bush, and intercepted him by dropping the lane (I wonder how he likes being on the other end of this?). After a bit of chat, I proceeded to peel off each of his turrets and equipment, at which point I let him go. The cost of replacing all that equipment is going to be double anything we might fine him.
I told him that every time he brings a capital ship like that into liberty to pirate with, were going to have this same little "talk" and hes going to be rendered incapable of pirating.

Recently I was on my way from new york to pennsylvania, and as I was approaching the jump-gate, someone else came out of it. A rogue Pitbull pirate-train by the name of SkiniestTree. Naturally, I scanned him, and what I found was disturbing. Four thousand some-odd slaves, just thrown into the bare hull of a non-liner ship. When I confronted him about his cargo, he immediately fled down the trade lane. I chased him through the new-york system, all the way to the ice-fields of california, where after he offered me 1 million credits to let him go, I engaged him. I nearly destroyed his ship, but eventually I made one wrong move, and ended up being heavily damaged by one of my own mines, and because of this, forced to pull back. Due to the damage sustained by my ship, most of the gun-cam footage was lost, but I do have this.
List of his infractions:
Illegal ship
Illegal ID
Carrying contraband (four-thousand counts)
Transporting persons in a non-liner ship (four thousand counts)
Evading arrest
Attacking an officer
Attempting to bribe an officer
Broken tail-light (may or may not have been from my fire)

During a patrol using the Taconic, I came across "Lick A brick" which was an outcast gunboat, heavily armored. Scans showed cap 8. He of course began to threaten me after disrupting the trade lane, and so we went at it. Eventually he fled. In fact, he fled directly to rochester and took cover in the Junker NFZ. Recommend immediately reporting this to the junker congress so they will turn him over. Evidence enclosed.
his damage, and my shields being damaged should be sufficient evidence that there was a fight preceeding his flight into the NFZ.

Our friend "Death Collector" showed up again. The same rogue destroyer I had to educate some time ago by stripping the paint off his toy. Hes also known for bragging about supposedly "captured" police pilots.
Well we re-enacted the conversation we had last time, this time I took everything including his shield, at which point he seemed to have a mental breakdown and slammed into Battleship Missouri. Collected some escape pods, no Police pilots though only homeless bums partially clothed with old police uniform pants from a thrift store.
Also some blue diamonds... these make a nice trophy.
As I was sitting at west point, I received a transmission from a freelancer gunship, FL-Security.01, informing me of the presence of a Rogue Scylla class cruiser in pennsylvania. I informed my fellow officers, and the navy, and we headed into penn to hunt it down. I was the first to make contact, just as the scumbag was finishing up destroying some innocent helium mining ship. I kept my C/D trained on it's engines, and threw mines at the hull until the cavalry arrived, and we made short work of him.
