While on routine checks in orbit of Planet Manhattan, one of the local police force pointed out a target in the California system so I decided to investigate.
When I came into contact with a ship with no I.D on board, I was unable to get a positive I.D on the pilot of the craft, the reason for this report is that he was carrying Nomad weaponry. Two medium turrets and two Nomad torpedo launchers.
Before I could scan him fully his craft jumped from California into Cortez and disappeared. An LNS battleship piloted by Ethan saw the ship as well.
Not sure what you want me to do on this subject, but I will continue my investigation into the whereabouts of the ship.
Shepherd out.

Good day.
Nothing very serious to report here, just while I've been preparing my vessel I found one rheinland cruiser in Texas who after moved in New York. Though it was his last designation, since one secondary fleet battlecruiser, LNS Polaris, destroyed it. Evidence is here.

SUBJECT: Bretonia Armed Forces Activity in Liberty Space
ENCRYPTION: HIGH
PRIORITY: Moderate
I took it upon myself to investigate sightings of Bretonia Armed Forces members in Liberty Space, during the investigation I came up on BAF member known as J.Statham. Pilot Statham stated that he was a Private Investigations officer for the BAF on a classified mission in Liberty Space.
The scan on his ship returned alarming results, his craft was outfitted with Nomad technology.
I began a ship to ship communication relay, asking him why they were in Liberty space, and why he had Nomad weaponry. His response was that he was on a secret mission from BAF command, and that BAF pilots are allowed to use Nomad weaponry.
I told him that I would not persue the investigation further, and that I would report my findings. I also informed the pilot that if he was to fire the Nomad weaponry in Liberty space I would send for the Second Fleet to arrest him.
His response was less than satisfying as he jumped through to California.
This happened in New York system, at the California jump gate.
I will await further instruction from Liberty Navy command.

Greetings, Mr. Shepherd.
If you have visual evidence of this Bretonian's armaments and full tag it'd be appreciated if you shared that with us so we may investigate properly. We generally welcome the Bretonian Armed Forces, but such armaments are suspect and certainly not allowable within Liberty space.

Greetings Liberty Navy Officials.
It has come to my attention that certain people with in the Liberty Space have been masquerading as members of the Liberty Navy. Appointing themselves as members, even going so far as to I.D themselves as [LN]-.
This is rather alarming and I am worried that soon something bad will happen due to these people not following the rules. I myself were recruited by Commander Jane Hartman of the Liberty Navy and I report to her, unfortunately I haven't seen her recently, so I am assuming she's on shore leave.
I await instruction as to what to do with these supposed members of the Liberty Navy.
I know it may have not been my place, but I have recruited three members to the Liberty Navy and given them as much information as to what we do. The members are [LN]-Liam_Barrows, [LN]-William_Pellant and another whose name escapes me at the moment.
I await advice as to what to do next.
Shepherd Out.

Flight Sergeant Shepherd,
This sudden proliferation of ships bearing Primary Fleet identification is the subject of significant concern within Fleet Command, and we're currently looking into it. I'm particularly worried as to how exactly the codes necessary for its use have been leaked.
On that note, Mr Shepherd, there seems to have been a misunderstanding. I did NOT recruit you into the Primary Fleet. I possess neither the rank nor the appointment necessary to handle enlistments. I helped you prepare your ship for your duties in the Secondary Fleet. ALL Primary Fleet Recruitment is handled through the Recruitment Channel. Until such a time as Admiral Baker has received, reviewed, and accepted an application, the individual concerned is not a member of the Primary Fleet and CANNOT fly under our banner. If this was somehow unclear, you have my apologies. While I was on leave, the Lieutenant who ran three blocks to get here informed me that this required my immediate attention. I'll be back in space inside a few days and able to discuss this further with you then.
While I appreciate that your intentions are good, the Primary Fleet does not conduct our Recruitment in space. If you, or any of the individuals you have spoken to, wish to become members of the Fleet, you'll need to apply through the Recruitment Channel. Until such a time as those applications are processed, you are to remove the [LN] identifier from your ship's registration. If you require funding to alter the registry, it will be provided to you. I'll require you to contact the individuals you've Recruited and inform them of the above.
Please contact me over private communications with the details of how you obtained access to Primary Fleet identification codes ASAP, and any other individuals you know of with access to those codes.

Evening.
I was never one to beat around the bush...so let's just get straight to the point.
[He looks away for a moment, taking a deep breath.]
Effective immediately, I'm resigning from active duty in the Primary Fleet and requesting a transfer to reserve. The reasons for this are personal and irrelevant for you, command.
[He smiles softly.]
Be sure that it was not an easy decision to make for me, for long years in service and a close, intimate relationship with the Navy are not easily forgotten. There were tough times, but I can tell you one thing safely, that you lot have always held true to the things we were sworn in to do. You've defended the heart of Sirius with all that you had, and I'm proud to have served for such a long time. Twenty years, nearly...
[His eyes grow distant.]
Another war approaches, one with Gallia. It promises to be bloody and long...It was not easy for me to take this decision with that on the horizon, but..I'll be in the reserves, and if you lot falter, I'll return. However, I don't expect you lot will falter...you are in good hands. Stay true, and remember what you signed up for.

Greetings.
Not much to report, but captain said it's worth it. Today when I went on patrol I immediately received call from captain Polstari. The pirate Arrastra have been making troubles in Manhattan space. Though it was difficult, but we managed to destroy the vessel not too far from West Point. And that would be all for now.

SUBJECT: California Patrol
ENCRYPTION: Moderate
PRIORITY: Low
Ensign Rivers here,
After arriving at Westpoint academy and meeting the new recruit Daniel Stevenson, we were sent out to patrol California by Lt. Teerin because there were reports of a squad of pirate bombers.
We arrived in California and found the bombers after some searching. However, they stood down when caught and told us they were just leaving house space and had no interest in causing trouble, credits or whatso ever.
Since one of them had liberty navy pilots in their cargo hold I asked them to hand these pilots over as a token of good will. They complied.
Then, LPI Officer Tal.Ravis fined them - and again they complied. At this point I had reasonable doubts that they were infact out for trouble, although of course they could just play nice this time.
At any rate after they handed over the pilots, paid the LPI-fine and stated they were just wanting to leave, I decided to escort them out.
And we did the journey was uneventful. The last we saw of the pirate bomber squad was them entering Coronado jumphole.
However our day should not conclude just yet, because on our way back we met a CFH bomber that had Liberty Rogue IFF. Of course we stopped and tried to catch it to question it as to what it was doing here.
The pilot was not really cooperative and only when caught began to speak to us.
When we asked it what it wanted here, it decided to try and run again. We of course tried to ask it again and involve it into a conversation, but the rogue pilot did not react and continued fleeing. At this point recruit Stevenson correctly mentioned that it would be appropriate to attack the bomber now and I agreed.
However! Only minutes later at first one Reaver and then another Reaver showed up and helped the CFH Liberty Rogue bomber. At first I was surprised but recruit Stevenson said that it was well known that the Reavers were slaves to the Rogues.
The Reavers of course, denied this and claimed their reasoning to attack us the bounty on Liberty Navy ships.
Then fighting began, but I would not feel the need any further on the situation anyways. With the two reavers and the rogue bomber attacking recruit Steveson and myself we felt we should retreat to the nearby battleship at planet Los Angeles. The Reavers followed us at first but then kept their distance as they began to get caught up in the battleship flak-fire.
Two bounty hunters joined us later and fighting continued nearby planet Los Angeles.
I was very hesitant to attack the Reavers as I saw how shaky my aim had become in the time I was not flying. The recruit Stevenson deserves a mention of commendment because while I had to sit out at the battleship near Los Angeles, he boldly attacked two reavers and a rogue bomber. On his own.. in his recruit craft.
Eventually though he too had retreat to the battleship, but not before he fought off the CFH Rogue bomber and caused it flee the scene.Both recruit Stevenson and myself sat at the battleship then and the bounty hunters continued fighting the reavers. At one point the bounty hunters voiced their concerns about us not attacking the reavers any longer in a very rude manner before they too disengaged.
Then one of the Reavers left the scene and then recruit Stevenson landed. Then the other reaver left the scene and lastly I landed too.
