I have spoken with the owner of the ship. He has sent the Battlestar to a local scrapyard in Manhattan. Several other witnesses can concur to this.
This Ship has been destroyed, you are chasing a ghost sir.

Re; Zon.Exp 565
This is certainly good news. Of course, I'm sure we all could have done without the vessel being scrapped in Liberty territory... however, at the time, the ship was certainly not a ghost. You may ask your Director, Mr. Copeland to verify that information for you. All that to say, that's one less Zoner who will be bothering us again.

Well, today was indeed a productive day, and this is only this morning's report
First off, me and two Gunboats (=LSF=Tugboat and LNS_Dave.Elliston) were at Manhattan, when we noticed an incoming Lane Hacker Gunship, Callsign '=CT.GS=:Raikkonen'. The two Gunboats were in pursuit, and the Idiot at the controls of the Gunship was stupid enough to try to joust me with 50% hull integrity. He got a Supernova in the nose, and he is currently aboard the Missouri for intensive interrogation of whatever High Command sees fit. Supernovas hurt. A Lot, thats what he found out anyways.
After this, when Tugboat had signed off for repairs, I noticed several enemies in Alaska, and, together with a Gunboat and 2 Cruisers (LNS_Dave.Elliston, LNS-Echo, and Rogue_Warrior), we set off to dispatch them.
They were at a strange Jump Hole, and we managed to dispatch them all, except one, who fled through the Jump Hole, but we didn't follow because I felt it might be a trap (//OOC: I didn't go through because we're not meant too).
Enemies:
[OTF_RU]SOCOL - Corsair Gunboat
[OTF_RU]NAZGUL - Corsair Bomber
Skoorb (The one who fled) - Corsair Gunboat
Agent.001 - Corsair Bomber
Shelest - Nephyts Very Heavy Fighter
We all agreed that I would call out Targets, so it was Agent.001 Who was first, and he quickly fell too my Guns, as well as the others joining in, but he was too evasive for them too land the number of hits needed.
Next up was [OTF_RU]SOCOL, who the Capital ships managed to De-shield and bring to half hull, then, after he repaired, I shot several Supernova's at him, then, when he was at half hull, I landed the killing blow, right in his behind.
Next up was Skoorb, who, when under heavy fire, and taking at least 3 hits from Cruiser fowards guns, and about 4 from my Supernova, decided to retreat through the Unknown Jump Hole, and we did not pursue.
After that, I called for Shelest to be taken out, and before I could even turn around to aid the Capital Ships, he had been destroyed, that'll teach him for staying still and not dodging.
Then was the Final Enemy, [OTF_RU]NAZGUL, in a Corsair Praetorian Class Bomber, Who, like his bomber friend before him, was destroyed by my guns, with aid of the capitals, who had trouble hitting him, but when they did, it was lethal to him.
I Dropped our new prisoners off at Mitchell, where they should be enjoying themselves on a Prisoner's Diet and Iron Beds.
After this, we picked up reading's off a Liberty Gunboat, Callsign 'Blockhead', who decided that being regular navy He is allowed to enter Alaska. He then proceeded to question my authority, say what is SA going to do about it anyways, and things like that.
Me and the LNS_Dave.Eliiston, a Liberty Gunboat, pursued him, then, when we found he had Nomads, we decided that he was infected, we read him his senntence (Destruction) for carrying Nomads, and being in Restricted Space. We opened fire, and he was gone within a minute, falling to my Supernova, as he obviously didn't have a clue on how to pilot a Gunboat.
After we left Alaska, I found a Ship, Callsign 'Amset_Ger', LSF ID (I think he is a Spy within the LSF, their agents wouldn't engage SA),who kept coming back to Z21, despite the 5 or so warnings.
I gave him ten seconds to leave, to which he went 2K, then started to come back, and I decided I was fed up with it, gave him 5 seconds, which he did not use wisely, then I engaged him and told the Gunboat (LNS_Dave.Elliston) that was guarding the Entrance not to engage, and I dealt with this 'Amset_Ger'.
We started jousting each other, and I noticed he was firing Nomads.
Just another reason why he 'may' be corrupt
I quickly Deshielded him with a Mini Razor Shot, then, on the E-Kill Turn, I landed a Supernova on him from 1.5K
After all that Action in the bomber, I decided to take the fighter out for a Joyride.
For about an hour, everything was quiet, then, I picked up a distress call about a smuggler at Manhattan
I got their, and there was an Eagle Xeno, believe it or not, Callsign 'Jimmy_Delton', but he was quickly engaged and destroyed, Me engaging along with =LSF= Agent FortunateSon, and SA Officer Michael Knight, and 2 Liberty Gunboats, but the Gunboats had trouble hitting him as he was flying around Newark to avoid our fire.
After this, we encountered a smuggler at Manhattan, Callsign 'Solarzs', who payed the fine, but not before annoying us about how he had none, and how 'Corrupt' Liberty was. The same as everyone else who gets a fine I suppose.
I just tell him to shut up with his Republican Ideals

Subject : Outcast in Colorado
Greetings, this is my first report.
Today I launched from Planet Manhattan and went on patrol in New York as usual. Things looked clear so I decided to patrol Colorado. I flew to Pueblo Station as I was hearing a transmission from an Outcast IFF : mobster. He was pirating the ship IFF : [Carthage]Arcadius.
The outcast flying a Stinger engaged me, I managed to scan him while I was dodging his fire : mobster's scan
You can see that he carry an outcast ID
After a few exchanging of gun, I fired my missiles but it hit Pueblo because the enemy flew near this Station. I hope that there is no big damage. So I re targeted the outcast took is shield down again and this time my missiles hit his Stinger and it exploded. Target eliminated
Then the ship Arcadius thanks me. I'm glad that I could help and put justice in this criminal activity. Thanks from Arcadius
I need to rest a bit, then I'll go back on my duties.
Rick Gunner out.

Subject: Nomad Invasion
I'll make this short and sweet gentlemen, and let the rest of you make your comments.
Today five nomad craft invaded New York. A handful of bombers and fighters, and a gunboat. All craft wound up destroyed, minus one fighter who fled. The fighting, for the most part, was contained to the Zone 21 Minefield, and we were highly effective.
We also fragged a Corsair Cruiser, who despite our efforts, engaged Liberty forces rather than the nomads. His choice was soon regrettable.
Congratulations to all forces involved, casualties were taken, but our men and women will recover.

Subject:Status of Smokey
Greetings Liberty Admiralty,
I sir am Pilot Edward Blue of the Avenger "Smokey" I would like to request and implore your acceptance on a matter I am sure by this sentence you already know what it may be about. I am a member of your other faction based out of California (NPC) Recently it has came to our admiraltys attention a ship in my possession has been outlawed due to the specifications on which it was assembeled. It is the Avenger Smokey in which me and my father have both piloted in the past. Due to our ties to this craft both us and the ship have been suspended of any Liberty Naval duties until further investigations on the ship are complete. I would however like to still be able to have a livelihood using this ship as if I sold it the technology would get into the wrong hands. I am wanting to use this ship as a bounty ship until we are recommissioned into service. I understand the weight of this situation it being a highly developed piece of machine in which Liberty engineers put great work into. But it's a request I humbly ask your acceptance on. I am only planning on using this ship in the Bretonian systems and as an escort so me and my father can still afford proper care while we are away from our Homeland. There is more to the story as well contained here...
At 8:30 tonight, an assorted group of LH, NLF, and =CT.GS= were spotted forming in the California system. The following were recorded on the sensors of =LSF=.Sabre: (though there were 6 gunboats and 1 fighter total)
=CT.GS=Pylon
=CT.GS=UnBound
[NLF]Stanchion
LH~Elliot.Carver
These were engaged by Battlecruiser Gafwmn, Cruiser :Liberator:(/-\merica), Bounty Hunter Gunship Recon, unaligned navy Odai_Ventrell, and =LSF=.Sabre at Fort Bush. It took 5 minutes after the arrival of the two cruisers to decide the fight, with only the fighter escaping.

--- Message 2 ---
Soon after the fight against the pirate group, Nomad ship "Auspex" was engaged and defeated by the same group as above (minus Sabre and Odai) about 20k from Norfolk Shipyards by the Norfolk>>West Point trade lane. All material dropped from the ship was immediately vaporized.

Today several Xenos and a Hacker invaded New York.
As I, aided by LNS.Dave.Elliston (Who was shooting anyway) tackled the xenos at Manhattan, I would like to make a special commandation to Recruit Lecric Shocker. He succesfully held off a Hacker destroyer for several minutes before I arrived in my bomber to help. Soon after, LSF Copeland and Mike Edwards arrived and the target was destroyed.
In the early hours of the morning, unlawful activity in California was unusually high. After travelling to the California system, it seems that out of luck, I had managed to get 'behind' the two pirate bombers (one Blood Dragon-built, the other Outcast) who approached California Minor from Mojave using the tradelane. After quickly throwing them out of the tradelane, myself and a friendly bomber began our assault.
The situation wasn't looking great, with the tiny bomber producing an incrediby powerful assault, which I couldn't match with standard-issue Vengeance V's.
Thankfully, I managed to make a call to a the Captain of a Naval Battlecruiser on standby in New York, who shortly joined the fray. One bomber scarpered on sight, and disappeared from scanners. The other bomber tried to evade, but was shot down.
