This message is only available for the Legion High Command
Something interesting occured today when I was busy setting up Lieutenant Parsson's ship. I was contacted by a ship with the callsign Vendetta and the pilot asked me if I could deliver his message to the Legion High Command.
I'll upload the whole conversation.
Quote:\/endetta: Ah, yes, The Hellfire legion.
\/endetta: May I ask who is commanding this vessel?
[HF]-HFU-Clotho: Just a low ranked individual.
\/endetta: Hmm, you're still of use.
[HF]-HFU-Clotho: If you say so.
\/endetta: I ask you to convey a message to your high command
\/endetta: Can you do that?
[HF]-HFU-Clotho: Afraid to talk to them on your own?
\/endetta: More of, I don't wish to endanger the situation any more than I already have.
[HF]-HFU-Clotho: I see.
\/endetta: Perhaps you haven't heard.
\/endetta: In the past few days, Liberty has become more corrupt than ever
[HF]-HFU-Clotho: A sad thing to hear.
\/endetta: I have attempted to reveal this truth, broadcasting a message to the people of Liberty, which also earned me-
\/endetta: A fifty million credit bounty.
\/endetta: Inform your Admiral if my following words
\/endetta: A man sits on his throne, and has been there for four years. It's time he get's up and lets someone else sit.
\/endetta: I am in need of your asistance, Admiral. We do not have enough power to save this Nation from it's doom
\/endetta: That is all, I must go. I have a Naval cruiser chasing me
[HF]-HFU-Clotho: Good luck.
So, those Rogues think they can just pillage the decent citizens of Liberty and leave unharmed? Not under the watch of me commanding the Emperor. Took out a Rogue gunboat and a greyhound.

High Command is proud of the way the Legionnaires deployed to Magellan handled themselves in defense of one of our own. It is unusual to be assaulted so close to home turf, but our Home Guard responded with admirable swiftness and defeated the pirate blight.
For his fortitude in a tense situation, [color=#33FF33]Fleet Commander Markus Brass has been awarded the [color=#FF8800]Golden Leaf.
For his decisive action and exemplary defense of another Legionnaire, Major Jacob Warren has been awarded the Golden Halo.
Be swift and vengeful, uncompromising and righteous!

We received information of a pirate blockade in California, at Mojave - New York jumpgate lane consisted of many colors. When we got there, there was nothing to be found other than a Navy transport and a dreadnought. The transport was ordered to turn back or be destroyed and he complied, while the dreadnought was destroyed shortly after by Anders on Beta 2, Heights on the Emperor and myself on the Abbadon.
There was also a freelancer that was assisting them, he was also shot down.
After that we proceeded to the jumpgate where we spotted even more hostile ships and a relatively big fight took place. The enemy brought in several fighters and bombers, a hunter gunship and 2 cruisers. The 3 capitals and an LPI bomber were shot down and soon we were overrun by more hostile fighters and were forced to retreat with damaged ships.
On another notice, I am glad to announce the recent achievements of the Engineering Corps. We have constructed a new installation to develop, maintain or adapt various technologies for the Legion's assets.
The most recent success was the 2 new cruisers Redeemer and Purifier working on 90% efficiency. They were tested and deemed suitable for combat or recon missions.
[font=Times New Roman]This is Fleet Captain Samuel Fauk reporting. Been a while since I did this. Anyway, we had a busy day today and sadly I was only there for the first half of what turned out to be a fruitful battle. I led a raiding party into New York and it was quiet for a while. Fleet Commander Brass joined in and took command, and ordered us to attack a Liberty Assault Battlecruiser, callsign 'Tarabostes', defending West Point. A gunboat by the name of Saladin also was present. All three of them were shot down. Another gunboat by the name of Harbinger then joined the fray, and was quickly put down.
By this time several pirate vessels began arriving; I fled the scene as soon as the capitals were destroyed because I knew I wouldn't last long against a fighter swarm. I returned to the Ravager and jumped into the Forsworn, returning to the New York jump gate to cover our force's retreat. By that time most of the pirate forces had been killed off and now the Navy was coming in to mop up. At least three of our fighters made it through to California before four Guardian class fighters appeared. I held them as long as I could to buy our ships time to escape. Ultimately I was overtaken when a plasma bolt struck the Forsworn's fuel intake system and destroyed my engines; I was forced to eject.
It seems the last remaining pilot in New York, Ashira Kogomi, fought like a hero. She downed several more fighter craft before being destroyed. Her actions deserve recognition.

Lieutenant Epps here,
After receiving reports of a group of Navy Vessels in New York, we set out with our small taskforce consisting of Myself on the Beta.4 , Fleet Captain Fauk , The Polyphemus and the Last Sunrise. Upon arrival in New York, Fauk immediately reported the presence of Multiple capital ships along some Snub Craft. Him and i engaged some of the snub vessels before the Poly and the last Sunrise arrived. What ensued was a giant ball of fire as Torpedoes where launched everywhere, Mortars were impacting in the enemy's hull along side Nova Rockets , slowly tearing them to pieces. After the initial impact of Navy reeinforcements and the Last Sunrise Arriving just in time, we managed to destroy multiple Capital Ship, Including a Dreadnought, 2 Battlecruiser and a Siege Cruiser. Included in the enemy casualties is also one Snub Vessel and a Rogue Gunboat that was in the Brawl. Fleet Captain Fauk's ship was critically damaged but his pod was tractored in , and after a short while, the Poly and the Sunrise began to pull out of the Battle. While the Polyphemus and the Sunrise made an escape, i stayed behind with the hopes of keeping as many enemies on me as possible to ensure safe return of our capital vessels. The Last Sunrise returned shortly after and with a bit of skill and a bit of luck, this is when we managed to destroy the second Battlecruiser. My Vessel was then critically hit and i had to eject, my pod being tractored in, but gladly the Last Sunrise was able to escape safely.
Lieutenant Robert Epps - Ship Destroyed , Pod Tractored
Fleet Captain Sam Fauk - Ship Destroyed, Pod Tractored
HFB-Polyphemus - Returned to Base
HFBC-Last.Sunrise - Returned to Base
Yesterday we received reports of outcast warships in California wreaking havoc. Wolverine and Redeemer were dispatched to check it out. There was a dreadnought and a cruiser shooting transports and as soon as we got in range they opened fire on us aswell. After few minutes of fighting the Navy decided to show up and the outcast ships were destroyed and we immidiately ran to the ice field to get rid of the swarm behind us.
Unfortunately they chased us inside the field where Wolverine destroyed 2 of the enemy strikecraft and the Redeemer damaged their gunboat lightly. Luck wasn't on our side however as a dreadnought with a cloaking device popped out of nowhere and damaged the Redeemer heavily. Wolverine and Piersson were ordered to retreat. Piersson was shot down and Wolverine managed to destroy another of the enemy fighters.
The Xenos arrived at our doorstep earlier and myself and Eagle greeted them. They were escorted inside Vespucci and proceeded to drop off the first load of firearms at America base. After dropping them off, we headed to Monterrey to drop off the next load and then -after turning off their flight recorders- we arrived at Leniex where they exchanged the last batch of firearms with ship hull panels.
It was a successful delivery and a rather nice change to finally guide someone inside our home system rather than chase him out.
