Sirs,
Seth Karlo was today controlled by Keepers... We don't know how, or why, but it caused internal Hemorhagging of the Brain an surrounding tissues. Blood has poured out of his ears, and becuase he tried to fight off the Keeper's attack of his brain, he may have suffered mental damage.
He is sitting up in bed now, and as I cannot find anything physically or mentally wrong with him, I am hereby returning him to active duty.
However, any unusual or strange behaviour should be reported at once.

Cruiser LNS-Themis is undergoing major repairs at Norfolk following the engagement and will be out of action for some time.
I'm proud of my crew for staying in the fight beyond the call. Our damaged comm system 'didn't receive' the repeated calls from the Thunderbay to withdraw, and we stuck in the fighting, withdrawing when finally all batts and bots were depleted and our hull was down to 50% integrity. We successfully withdrew without casualties despite getting disrupted on the way out. We only hope that we drew their fire long enough to give our comrades the decisive edge.

Finnally i got the oppertunity too launch, and you launch in the middle of a helhole.
Welcome too the navy.
First of all the nomads had quite a force entered NY.
Engaging several naval and LSF ships i got a call to go immedetly too the battle so i did.
On arrival i engaged those purple plaque.
those purples were all destroyed, but at a price.
My deckchief managed too extract some photo footages:
good images of one of the purplefighters.
Also i see a lot of corsairs in Liberty recently.
Not only fighter class but even bigger ships.
Couple of days ago i hailed one before shooting and he stated they were pirates and could go were they want to go even for fun.
mmmm well his mistake as his titan was shot down a moment later, corsairs have no buisness in NY.
Also a small footnote.
We encountered a complete drunk destroyer captain [eddie.ol'Rumbucket] in a outcast dessie he was talking irrational.
He tried too make a run in the Z21 area and managed it even in ##classiefied## were he soon was shot down.
Also a big trader in a rheinlandclass cargo ship was shot down there.
We didnt find any escapepods.

Well another reasonably busy day today, my report follows:
First off this morning, the Order launched an unprovoked and merciles attack on New York, bringing a wing of fighters and a battleship for heavy firepower. We were completely taken by surprise, merely investigating smugglers in Zone 21 when the Order battleship came through and immediately opened fire on a navy officer, blowing his ship up in front of my eyes. Knowing we were outgunned, i thought quickly, and ordered a retreat to Battleship Missouri. Backup came quickly, and we were soon a match for their forces. We successfully pooled our resources with help from bounty hunters, and the Order fleet was neutralized.
I understand that the Order contacted the commanding officer at the time and notified him that the fleet was not acting under their orders, but i wonder if this is true. The Order seem to be changing their minds often, neutral one minute, hostile the next, i know that this is politics, but its getting hard to follow the diplomacy between the Order and Liberty. From this brazen attack, and others that have been reported, i am going to treat the Order as hostile, and act accordingly.
Other than that, the day was full of smugglers and relatively few pirates. Many smugglers attempted to go through Zone 21 to trade illegal artifacts and such, but they were met with lethal force after failing to drop the cargo.
Day Summary:
Order fleet --DESTROYED-- Reason: Violating Liberty space and opening fire on a Navy officer
Many Artifact smugglers --MOST CAUGHT OR KILLED--
Overall, a good day's work protecting Liberty space from hostiles. Best wishes to pilots injured in the Order attack. Recruit Jack Malrone out.

Loading Data
The LAS-Freedom has been in service for two days now. It is currently undermanned as the Guardian Cruiser Support System has not been installed to control the more common operations, however it is still operational. During its first day we ran into a smuggler who was, by our first cargo scan, carrying a large amount of artifacts. The ship, under the callsign "Astronomical", briefly went out of cargo scanning range and stopped. Upon a second scan his ship was empty and I viewed the first scan as a malfunction. Later the same ship appeared again with artifacts, knowing it couldn't have been another malfunction a four million credit fine was collected.
Earlier that day another smuggler was encountered within restricted space. We immediately activated the ship's cruise engines to chase him down with the assistance of Galen Anderson and Ethan Tamner. The Freedom's chase was abruptly ended however when an asteroid became jammed in the ship's forward gun.
During the second day, while stationed at Zone-21, we came under attack by a Rogue bomber under the callsign "Berlayer". He put up a strong fight and the ship was almost destroyed. However, we managed to escape after a fighter patrol came in to distract the bomber and pick up the escape pod of a nearby Bounty Hunter who came to assist. The Guardian was launched while the Freedom docked at Norfolk for repairs.

//LAS - Liberty Assault Ship
Today, early warning systems in New York alerted us to an incoming invasion by the Order. They brought with them a fleet of 3 Battleships, a cruiser, and other minor ships; long range scanners could not determine the class of these other smaller craft. We called in all who could help, after being on the designing team for the Bounty Hunter Battleship, I knew one of their commanders. I saw that he was in Omicron Delta, and asked him for his assistance. He immediately set course for New York, authorization to pass Alaska and Zone-21 was given by Admiral Valence Harper. Somehow the Order fleet had passed Zone-21 defenses and was holding up at West Point. All ships were requested to move to West Point, with devastating consequences. As soon as the Bounty Hunter Battleship Sangraal approached West Point, he was immediately fired upon by upto 3 Order Battleships. Massive ion storms, created by the magnetic energy flux of the weapons discharging in a electric field of 7.3MeT...anyway, the point is that massive ion storms were created. An emergency hail was intercepted by friendly forces entailing that the Sangraal was evacuating, as emergency nanobot repair systems would not engage. Seconds later, transmission was lost, and i saw a large explosion in the distance, just as i was entering my Avenger class ship.
One after another, friendly ships were being slaughtered by the Order, and i kept my distance, an Avenger verses 3 battleships just doesn't work. Lying low in New York, I soon got word that everyone on board the Sangraal was safe and being cared for by the lawful forces on Planet Manhatten. After the Order ascertained that all of the Naval forces were destroyed, they left back through Zone-21 to Omicron Minor.
Sirs, this is the third attack on New York orchestrated by the Order in as many days; only this time they managed to break through our defenses and destroy many lawful ships. As far as i know, these attacks have been unprovoked and unjustified, and personally, i would like to put the Order in their place. An attack on Omicron Minor should reassure the Order that the Liberty Navy does not put up with their continuous intrusions into Liberty space. I know that this is far from my call, and i am merely a Recruit, but i am sure that others would agree that the time for diplomacy with these terrorists is over, and a more direct approach is required. If such an attack was to be planned and executed, the commander of the Sangraal assures me that him and his crew are more than happy to help the Liberty Navy where necessary, as soon as new weapons and shields are installed on his newly acquired battleship.
I am also requesting the use of a bomber from Liberty High Command, as i believe i can better protect Liberty from smugglers and pirates in such a vessel. All costs for the ship, weapons, armour etc would be covered by myself. I hope you grant me access to this vessel high command, Recruit Jack Malrone.

-Begin Transmission-
On behalf of Order High Command, I sincerely apologize for the actions taken by these order pilots and captains today in Liberty space. Unfortunately, incidents such as this are increasing in frequency as more and more Order officers become discontent with their standard duties. The Order exists to protect humanity, and their actions - unsupported by High Command - have resulted in the deaths of innocent civilians that can never be regained. Even one civilian killed by us is too much.
Those who were responsible for the attack today have been reprimanded. The majority of them are now under house arrest and are restricted to Order space, while the others have gone rogue and refuse to listen to reason. Their vessels will be reclaimed by The Order should they be encountered in our space.
I would also like to remind Liberty that any ships entering our space who do not transmit proper IFF frequencies will be destroyed without question. We can no more tolerate an attack against us than we can support attacks against civilians. I would hate to see more people die without reason, but that is exactly what a retaliation attack against us will result in, and the deaths will not be on our side.

[To] Whom it may concern
This is LPI Jake Shattuck, Swat Division, reporting in,Earlier today, roughly 1-2 hours before the invasion by the order, a Nomad, or someone that was extremely insane, more than likely it was the latter because he knew nothing of nomad customs, came into liberty, he claimed to have come in peace, after bieng persuaded to meet on the dark side of Manhattan with myself and LNS-Dawn, LNS-Dawn did not make it to the prescheduled "Meeting" as he was stopping and fining a smuggler for about the 3rd time in one day (Yes, the smuggler was that thick), I dubbed him to out of touch with reality to survive in Manhattan, //His typing was getting some people very angry with him and he had several bounties. I offered him an escort out of Liberty for his own safety, but upon reaching the Colorado Jump Gate he became Irate and decided to fight "Honorably" as he put it rather than be thrown out of Liberty, He was dispatched quickly by myself, as he was heavily outgunned, himself having 1 Tizona Del Cid and a pair of Salamanca MKII's against my Havoc bomber. His last action was ramming my ship which, turned out rather poor for himself, me having 3/4 shield and him very little hull left.
The following is a photo taken from my cockpit at the time of his death Here
Later during the invasion, my Bomber was destroyed rather quickly outside of West Point by a Battle Ship while I focused on a Order GB. Not much to report there.
