An interesting harvest today, I was aboard the Grande Cazzo when I got a distress call from Familiare Castro on board the Novara that there were multiple hostile contacts near Cali.
And of course, the miners were there. At first they had 3 bombers and two bounty gunships on their side, although those numbers did increase later on. We managed to destroy both of the gunships but had to get out of there when they brought one of their cruisers. Not enough firepower to take one of those on with their numerous snub ships.
Si, was quite the interesting harvest, we had no losses on our side.
We've been busy these past few days. Wiped out one of the GRN's capital fleets, and a few Council capitals as well. Got a bunch of other people as well. There was a raid into Gamma, but the Corsairs handed our asses to us.
Got another report covering quite a bit of things. In no particular order, here goes.
Orsini, Santiago and I moved against the GMG for the first time in quite a while. Quite a few others showed up to the party: Junkers (Friendlies), Wild (Friendlies), other Maltese (Need I specify affiliation?), and Bounty Hunters (Hostile). We took heavy losses, but we gave them a run for their money and ended up winning at the end, though I was the only Lanciere with a ship still intact.
Then, the Comandante and I were sweeping 23 when we came across several ships with PIMG comm ID's. They're hostiles, as was evidenced by them taking out a Maltese outpost being constructed. We took out a few, but with the support of Java's guns, we didn't end that one victorious.
Finally, Medici and I ended up fighting off two Corsairs who made their way into Alpha. They destroyed Medici's ship, but I got them both shortly thereafter. http://imgur.com/a/aqJoc#0
Lots of explosions.
On a completely unrelated and personal note, I hate writing these things. Can't you pass them off to some of the Fanteria?

I report an attempted incursion by the Colonials recently.
I was planetside when reports filtered in of Colonial capital vessels invading our space reached my ears. Knowing they would not come in without support, I launched my fighter and organized local militia and Lance forces to face the incoming attack. After downing one of their escorts, I returned and retrieved a bomber to help the assault on the Colonial cruisers. Our forces downed another fighter and one of their cruisers in Alpha space and chased the two other cruisers back to Tau-37, where one of them was destroyed. The other escaped heavily damaged when it trashed our pursuing bomber force. Overall a victory for the Lance and Malta.
Today as the first time I make this log within the Lance, as folly as time within the Ghosts showed several errors within their systems.
To the matter at hand.
We recieved a report of a small group of IMG within Tau 23. And was thus dispatched alongside several others within the Lance. We instead were met face to face with several Colonials, IMG, a Flare, and a trio of Council fools.
The first to fall was of those within the Council. Their cruiser easily falling to superior tatics and pilot skill. Within moments our foes increased in numbers, but therefore lack still of skill, and two more Council fools fell to our guns.
The turning point began when our fellow associates of the SR)~ came to assist us, forcing the Colonials back upon java while an IMG bomber bit the dust.
However the fight was not over. Our own Commandante faced a duel against the Flare named Silver, ending in our favor. During the fight a Hunteur came, and our forces quickly enjoyed a meal of fish to satisfy our hunger for the evening.

A female voice speaks, sounding heavily in pain. Few of the Lance would recognize the speaker, though many would perhaps understand the archaic Italian she speaks in, characteristic of the Contari aristocrats.
Ugh. This is Elaria. I've just woken up in the damn hospital. The doctors tried to keep me down on the bed I was on, but I managed to push them away. I found out that I was in a coma. Not a one of the damn doctors here speaks proper Italian, and I can hardly understand their disgusting lower-class tongue. Where is Alessan? If he is hearing this, I demand you come pick me up and take me to our family's facilities, not this... backwater peasant hospital. I want to know for how long I have been out, I want to know what has happened in my absence, and more importantly, I want to know what induced this coma in the first place.
After a brief pause. I am... eager to return my duties, but I fear that my recovery will take a while yet. My vision is somewhat fuzzy, and I am certainly in no condition to fly at the moment. I am feeling poorly. I want someone to explain what has happened. I'll attach the coordinates of the hospital I'm at to this message, though I assume whoever put me here already knows where I am, but one can never be quite too careful. I am looking forward to seeing a familiar face again. Very, very much.
Today we faced our foes outnumbered, yet today we won a victory greater than any battlefield could give us.
The traitorous face of the Ghosts has been shown!
We faced our foes beforehand of the Colonials , being outnumbered and overgunned, but we fought. Alongside our brethern of the SR)~ we fought. It was only after several of our forces fell did the Ghosts think to even show up!
One by one our enemies either felled by our hands or ran off, fearing for their lives while our combined strength gripped around their throats.
Yet the fruit of the battlefield was what came after.
After a heated debate questioning the leadership of the Ghosts frontwith, I was fired upon by one of them! For no reason or open cause, While the damage was signifigant, I did not fire back, instead, I laughed and smiled. For I had finally seen their true faces in their new leadership.
Hello, Gloria Nuntes here.
I'm really quite new to this, I'm not sure what to say.....please excuse any transgressions. I am trying my best.
I have been flying on many occasions along with the Lancieri and the experiences have been intense.
For example, we were in Omicron Gamma to strike our wretched blood enemies, and my ship was destroyed. I thought I was going to die, but my pod was salvaged and I made it out thanks to my fellow Lancieri.
Today in particular there was a large battle in Tau-23! I hadn't seen anything like it.
There were many enemy ships, Colonials cooperating with Bounty Hunters, but we were fighting with great persistence.
Comandante Orsini and myself were in a very tight spot and I honestly thought my end had come, but then backup arrived! The Lancieri truly do not leave anyone hanging. It was a great battle overall and we fought those rock lovers and their allies valiantly.
I hope everything goes as safely as before.
Viva la Contari!

I must make this quick. As you know I am now a Don among the Council and, unfortunately, have new responsibilities as well as governing my own Familia, therefore I must drop my direct allegiance and my duties to the Lance.
I am however putting one of my little brothers forward in my stead, Navarro, he has a great mind in strategy and can shoot well enough, you may see him as both an asset and also my own connection to the Lance.
It has been a great run, one that I will never forget. Glory to the Lance! Glory to Malta!
Yestarday i was flying along side the Esperanza, who was also being escorted by Estevan Martino.
The Esperanza was transporting Cardamine to Allentown within Pennysilvania, but before we got any where near Liberty space. We had a little trouble. It wasn't to bad after all but it was one of the Flare members. Her transponder was reading Purple Flare but her name was Rosa.
She tried to stop the Esperanza as well as both of it's escorts; that would be myself and Martino.
When we reached the Tau 29 anomoly, I kinda told Esperanza and Martino to head through and get clear, i will cause a distraction for the Flare so our pilots could escape safetly.
So many 5 minutes later, still didn't manage to kill the Flare. Was flying a Sabre I believe, I entered my cruise engines and escaped to Baffin. The Flare decided to stay back near Tau 23 and Tau 29, and was unable to catch me due to it not having a Cruise Disruptor on board. *Laughs*
Anyway, when I reached Coronado, managed to meet back up with the Esperanza and it's escort Martino, they were both safe, I quickly docked onboard Barrier Gate Station, for ammunition.
Then myself and Martino continued our escort to Penny. When we reached there, we headed back to Omicron Alpha. But will skip a bit of the journey out. So when we got back to Tau 23 this Flare cames back on our scanners, but this time it was a bomber.
Really did confuse me, not to sure about the other escort, but once again I got them to try to flee to Tau 37. But there was a bigger problem the other side.
The problem on the other side of the anomoly was a Colonial Cruiser. Stop the Esperanza. I was not concentrating on the Colonial Cruiser at all, the main threat in my eyes was the Purple Flare. So myself and Martino both engaged the Flare after it opening fire on the transport while it was carrying slaves.
Myself and Martino both destracted the Flare once more, but this time, Martino was taken out very quickly by a shot from the Flare's SNAC. I continued to shoot at the Flare to hopefully destroy him.
But I managed to take heavy damage and managed to give her heavy damage, but she started to flee back towards Falkland Base. So I continued the persuit and finally destroyed her.
I took really heavy damage, so I had to get back to Malta as fast as possible, my Sabre is fully repaired now but it cost a few millon to repair. But I am safe and my ship is ready for take off.
Not sure what happened about the Colonial Cruiser, but back up had arrived, didn't catch any transponders or names of the pilots that came to assist, but the Esparanza got back to Alpha safetly.
This is Camillia Rose heading off.
