LSFC Burnt River
Numerous LSF ships
LNS Ottawa (presumed missing before this incident)
Freelancer Gunboat "Undine Star"
Recipient: 5th High Command Subject: Destruction of the LNS-Ottawa
Members of the 5th Fleet, I suspect that our fight against O'Neill's murderers/Radford's invaders has a deeper rabbit hole than we previously expected.
Earlier today during the occupation of Radford airspace, none other than the previously thought to be missing LNS Ottawa detected an unauthorized vessel in Virginia space, which we dealt with quickly. Following its destruction and the escape of the intruders in Radford, the Ottawa made its way to the Alaska system when our unit was ordered, by ESRD operatives, to seize the ship then for an immediate inspection in the Virginia system.
Strangely enough, Ottowa control decided to try and hide behind some LSF agents who were nearby, but they were not convinced of its façade. Showing no intentions of cooperating, Admiral Sader gave the go-ahead to start firing - and we made sure it'd hurt. The LSFC Burnt River arrived shortly after, and the agents surrounding us helped us in taking down the Ottowa, aswell. It went off without a hitch.
It's a real shame that we couldn't bring back the Ottowa alive, however - it seemed to hold something interesting. This Power Cell that Coyote:404 (LSF agent) mentioned was supposedly recovered by them. After the engagement, the Navy forces on site made their way back to New York so that we... uh... wouldn't annoy the LSF.

Hail to the High Command. Lt. Anaraya here.
With the beginning of my patrol from Manhattan, I went down to Pennsylvania to check if there is any pirate activity. As I returned, I got in touch with V.A. Curtis Jackson when we encountered 2 nomad vessels. Taking them down without much problems we moved onto the next problem where a freelancer, with Police IFF was flying a Werewolf. After a long talk, he complied to leave the system and then ask for permission to fly such a ship inside liberty.
Along with that, we encountered an LSF agent that stated that she was in Order. We tried to take her in, but she refused and with that Battleship|California attempted to assist her in her escape. I grabbed my bomber and engaged in combat against the Carrier. While the backup was coming, the carrier suddenly disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.
After grabbing my fighter again, I along with Ensign Harrisford and V.A. Jackson have encountered 2 xeno fighters that managed to take us down. Our life pods crashed on Manhattan and we managed to survive.

Greetings to the High Command
During a small mission that I accepted at West Point, called Ensign Gregor 'Scarecrow' Sanders for assistance. He told me, that 2 Donau-Class Rheinland Cruisers appeared at the trade lane to Norfolk.
I abort the small mission and took my bomber to assist. I arrived at Norfolk and saw them. The captain of the "RNC-Norden" told us, they have orders and destroyed Mr. Sanders ship apparently. I loaded my weapons and engaged. I killed "ZAGURIK" and started to engage "RNC-Norden". Our Vice Admiral Curtis Jackson in the LNS-Kansas and start to engage "RNC-Norden". We killed the Donau, but the Kansas did the last shot.
Ensign Gregor 'Scarecrow' Sanders got destroyed, I tractored his pod. He is alive.
The Donau-Class "ZAGURIK" got destroyed by me.
The "RNC-Norden" got destroyed by the "LNS-Kansas".
Recruit Ethan Taylor to the High Command of the 5th Fleet.

Greetings High Command
I started my patrol at West Point. After I undocked from the station, a system wide transmission from a ship with the name "Mr.Killer" arrived me. I went to Planet Manhattan, where a local-wide transmission arrived me. On my scanners was not the transmitting ship, so I thought it was cloaked. After I talked with that unidentified ship and flew through the space around Manhattan, I got a interference on my headphones, like the cloaking device does. It appeared close to the Manhattan <-> Fort Bush lane. A Ranseur-Class uncloaked and two ships of the 88th fleet arrived, The LNS-Carnifex and the LNS-Sovereign. We talked about the ship and some stuff, in this time Captain Armada arrived in his bomber. The Ranseur opened fire on the LNS-Carnifex, and the Captain and the LNS-Sovereign started to fire, too. I was only a spectator, because I was in my fighter and there was no time to change the ship. They destroyed the Ranseur.
The "Mr.Killer" Ranseur-Class Outcast ship got destroyed.
The capital ships of the 88th fleet helped and the "LNS-Carnifex" (Overlord-Class) got some damage, but not significant.
All 5th Fleet ships got no damage, I got no report about damage,
Recruit Ethan Taylor to the High Command of the 5th Fleet.
Battlegroup Auxesia Fighters: "Weise 2" and "Tristan Fresnel"
Situation Two
Pirate Spatial "Muad'Dib"
Recipient: 5th Fleet Subject: Patrol report: August 13th, 823 A.S.
Members of the 5th fleet, today I bring some names of interest that we should keep an eye on.
Right when I undocked from Norfolk shipyard, I noticed the two mentioned Auxesian fighters in the distance carrying some Navy and LPI pilots. They were recovered without incident or resistance, as predicted in Liberty law. However, the circumstances on how they got into their cargo holds are inconclusive. After that I was asked to assist against 3 pirate ships close to the Badlands, however I was soon called to get off the fight considering we had two Defiant-class Gunboats already assisting.
Later, on my way to Fort Bush, the lane was disrupted by a Pirate-identified Spatial-class Super Heavy Fighter with the string "Muad'Dib", who was quick to fire upon my ship once I asked what he was doing (check the Shield Battery count, I panicked when I suddenly saw my shields dropping to dangerous levels). The enemy was destroyed soon after, and I couldn't recover any escape pods, unfortunately. It's possible that the criminal is still on the loose.
I am Vice Admiral Alan Collins and Admiral Sader has put me in charge of the recruits, ensigns and Lt.-s to make sure that they are trained right.
I am putting an announcement to inform you that TOMORROW, 4.9.823.A.S. I will organize a training routine for all of you. You are expected to come to the Connecticut Training Simulator to test and train your skills with other fellow 5th fleet members.
Gentlemen, please forgive the tardiness of this report, I had to regain my composure.
Late in September 6th 823 A.S., the 5th Fleet had finished its operation in Alaska space in regards to a Separatist weapons cache, which was seized by a Secondary Fleet "Defiant". During the confusion around this operation, a Legionnaire squadron managed to breach the Virginia system, no doubt with the help of Curtis Jackson, the very same who used to be our Vice Admiral.
Despite our efforts, we failed at containing the Legionnaire threat. Jean's ship was destroyed, prompting VA Collins and I to retreat. Along the way I found a LSF Secondary Fleet Agent with the callsign "Rax" who had heard of the incursion, who I decided to escort out of the system, all the way to Texas through Minnesota. Lest we lose what little of the sane LSF we still have to the Legion.
Members of the 5th Fleet, I bring you two reports about the recent Nomad attacks on Liberty and its allies:
At about 1455 hours SMT, on September 13th, Fort Bush was attacked by a large fleet of Nomad ships alongside infected vessels, which included Libertonian fighters. Our forces sustained little damage and managed to repel the threat with relative ease - just then, a distress signal flared up from Bretonia about another alien incursion, which the Navy responded by mobilizing several ships right then. The enemy fleet was located in the Cornwall Asteroid Field, complete with Guardian-class vessels; our defense was an astounding success, however Captain John Armada's and Ensign Ethan Taylor's ships were shot down during the final minutes of the battle and their pods were recovered by me. They have since returned to active duty.
At about 2230 hours SMT, on September 16th, a gigantic fleet of Nomad ships alongside infected vessels have assaulted the Baltimore Shipyard perimeter. The alarm was sounded by Fort Bush at that time when Naval forces prepared to defend Liberty at any cost; eventually, several freelancers and even members of the Hellfire Legion joined the fight. Several of our capital ships have taken considerable damage, but we didn't suffer heavy losses. For all intents and purposes, the Nomads' attack was completely shut down by our efforts. Baltimore Shipyard and Fort Bush sustained some damage, since our vessels "tanked" most of the hits.
Some civilian ships went down in the crossfire since the Navy failed to lock down the area amidst the awful confusion. Rest assured that we have minimalized casualties and our rescue operations recovered all of the missing pilots.
Comm ID: Ensign Ethan Taylor Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Patrol report
Greetings High Command
I'll report two things that happened.
The first:
During a patrol from Planet California Minor, California to Planet Manhattan, New York (I met "The.Law" there), I got contacted by a ship called "==Jason=="(it is a "Hydra" Colonial Gunboat). It requested for help from the Coronado system. The ship got heavily damaged during a fight with some Outcast's, the captain told me. I told him that I cannot help him, but he managed to jump to Cortez. After I saw it, I started to fly to Cortez. During this flight... well... the Captain of the "==Jason=="... died. I arrived at Cortez and saw the ship, it was NOT damaged. One of the crew members told me, that they had a "guest" on board. An Alien. A Crayterian Carrier arrived, but it did nothing. The "==Jason==" docked. I'll send the log files.
The second:
After the incident in Cortez, I got a signal from Mike Anderson. I went back to New York, where Mr. Anderson pursue a Freelancer with Cardamine in his cargo. We followed the Freelancer into the "Pittsburgh-Debris-Field". We fought him, but he managed to escape to Pittsburgh and landed. After that we searched "The.Law", a "Pelican" Civilian Armored Transport. He was still fighting a AP-239 "Bottlenose" Bounty Hunter Gunship, and we decided to let them fight to change our ships to a bomber. During we flew to Fort Bush, "The.Law" killed the Hunter. We took our bombers and pursue the Armored transport to Rochester. We arrived and a Hacker undocked from Rochester. Mr. Anderson and me aren't that good to fight a fighter and a well-skilled Transport-pilot. So we decided to retreat. I got (thanks to my cloak) out, but Mr. Anderson was still under fire. After I arrived at Newark, I jumped into my VHF and made my way to the last known position of Mr. Anderson. He was still alive, and fought the Hacker. I engaged and destroyed the Hacker. In my fighter I wasn't able to fight the Transport and Mr. Anderson got heavily damaged, so we decided to get out from there.
All involed Navies are alive.
The Crayterian Gunboat docked on Curacao.
The Hacker got shot down.
A Hunter got destroyed.
A Smuggler landed on Pittsburgh, maybe he is captured there.
