Greetings Command,
First, I got to apologize since there was a mix-up in the snubcraft attribution, and I found myself looking at a L-117 "Upholder" as the assigned vessel for my first flight.
Even so, as I departed West Point, I was called by the 5th Fleet Command to give my help in an engagement in what it seems a regular here in New York, inside the Jersey Debris Field. Two Rogue callsigns were the targets, a bomber vessel with the handler "Pepe.R.Chilli" and a Scylla with the handler "Liberty Tragedy".
Taking no chances, I engaged the bomber. Less than a minute later, it exploded by my hand #Attachment-01. By then, Lt Cdr. Mayer joined us also in a Upholder, and pressured on the Scylla. It ran to dock in a junker base deep in the Jersey Debris Field, Rochester, not before managing to cripple Lt Cdr. Mayer bomber #Attachment-02.
I then began my official first patrol and after some time patrolling the main lanes within New York, I witnessed an Uncut Diamond convoy docking with Planet Manhattan #Attachment-03. Finished my patrol ten standard minutes ago.
I officially request for a BDR-804 "Guardian" to be also assigned to me.

Greetings Command,
I was restless due to my first battle in space and decided to take a.. leisure stroll. Unfortunately, Liberty never sleeps, so I kinda got roped into battle again. 5th Fleet Admiral Sader called for backup near Manhattan due to a Rogue Scylla, handler name "DeathCollecter"#Attachment-01, and well. I am getting to like this L-117. The target went down without any losses on our side #Attachment-02.

Greetings Command,
I had a run in with a few hostiles today while I was on patrol with Admiral Sader. First we met a Rogue Destroyer, though it was able to hide on Rochester, again.
After we had chased that thing to it's hideout and saw it dock, we headed back to Manhattan.
During our stay in Manhattans orbit, we heard about a Sarissa roaming near the lanes. Together with Admiral Sader I kept that thing busy until the Durango arrived.
After a quick fight I was able to deliver the killing blow on that piece of scrap.
After a short rest. we found a small pirate ship with a few slaves on board. After it got decimated by the local defense grid, I picked up the slaves and left them on Manhattan.
After that has been taken care of we had a run in with a lone nomad. Operative Avery Reeves from the Agency 404 engaged the critter but before he could destroy it it managed to flee.
While we were sitting at the lane, we saw a smuggler trying to get past us with contraband. We secured the contraband and issued a fine and headed back to Manhattan
When we arrive at Manhattan the next encounter happened, a Rogue with a death wish. At first he fought against a member of the ESRD, Codename Hunter, until it decided to shoot at me. During the fight I was able to place a mine directly in front of his vessel and blew him with his own mine into pieces.
The patrol continued until I saw two Rogue Destroyers and a Lane Hacker sitting at the Colorado gate. I quickly realized I can't fight all three of them and started a tactical retreat. And luckily my attempt to retreat succeeded and I'm now backt at Westpoint.
As always, this concludes my report.
Mayer out.

Greetings Command,
Got called for a raid near Manhattan today. Two gunboats and a Scylla class Destroyer. One of the gunboats was from the Lane Hackers, handler "LH~Grubozaboyschikov'"#Attachment-01, with the other being a Hellhound of the Rogues, handler "McGregor"#Attachment-02. The Scylla was obviously the bigger threat, handler "LRD-"SunnyDay""#Attachment-03, and got focused on like it was made of candy, as capital support arrived in the form of a Liberty Battlecruiser of the secondary fleet, handler "LNS-Avatar". Soon it exploded with our concerted fire #Attachment-04, while the snubcraft dodged solaris and primary gunboat fire. Unfortunately, the damage was to extensive to the Avatar and it went down moments after the Scylla got destroyed #Attachment-05. Luckily, a First Fleet Crecy showed up, handler "[LN]-LNS-Bristol", and proceeded to lay down support fire while I did what I knew best. Dispensing freedom in the form of anti-matter. First was the Lane Hacker gunboat to be destroyed #Attachment-06, and then the Rogue gunboat that displayed unusual intelligence in tactical movement, keeping its distance from the Bristol. Measuring my distance, I managed to lay down a couple of anti-matter shots at medium to long ranged that dictated its doom #Attachment-07, with Commander Henderson praising my aim under fire #Attachment-08.
Later on, I was called by the ESRD to move to the Badlands, due to sightings of several Lane Hacker vessels in Texas. Since I was close to the location, I managed to take advantage of the Badlands for once and arrived first and almost unnoticed by the Hackers. To my surprise, there were also Unioner IFF'd vessels. The Hackers docked in Buffalo in a hurry, probably scared with our ever increasing success against their raids. What was more surprising is that without any indication of such, after my questioning of the why they were there, their answer related to the artifact trade indicated that the Hackers are trading in that now #Attachment-09 to #Attachment-14.

*Salute*
Ensign Watson Reporting in!
As usual it's was a busy patrol. Around 17h00 an emergency call come from Planet Manhattan. First reports stated that some Cultist Ships we're spotted in the vicinity. At 17h03 the attack was confirmed and pilots from LPI, Navy and battleships from the 5th Fleet Engaged the targets and managed to reppel the attack! At 17h18, all got under control.
At 17h53, while patrolling with Mark Miller, we come accross a Maltese Destroyer flying under the name of Farmer_Joe. He was carrying illegal goods and tried to bribe us to look away. This said we refused and got engaged in a fight. We lacked firepower for this fight be we grinded and kept on fighting until at 18h08 we finally managed to breach the hull of the Destroyer. Before it's destruction, the cargo bay exploded releasing the illegal weapons that we're immediatly destroyed!
We resumed our patrol heading to Texas when at 18:28, we got a red echo on radar. We catched a ship named ***Harpya*** near Beaumont. He attacked us after some quick and not so friendly chatters on the coms so Miller and I shreded the ship! At 18h35 the ship was history!

Greetings Command,
These past two days were met with heavy combat within Liberty. Almost a turkey shoot sometimes, another as hell has descended to take our number. After being solarized by a couple of Rogue gunboats near Manhattan, I managed to get the L-117 for a spin and I linked up with a :404 Operative, Susan Ward. Not long, a Rogue Gunboat, handler /_\-Tattered.Flag, appeared and tried to score a kill on a secondary fleet fighter. So we didn't took long to take the fight to it. As the lone bomber in the engagement, I managed to score some heavy hits, but it was Operative Ward with a razor to the control room that managed to take it down. Later on, intel arrived that two Rogues were making a fuss near the Texas Gate lane. With operative Ward, we moved to the site, and found as intel stated, two rogues sitting nearby the lane, obviously looking for an easy mark. Handlers, Tumbleweed and Zed.Alfanzo. They tried to run for the safety of the badlands, but with some luck, I took Alfanzo down, with operative Ward killing the other. And that concluded yesterday patrol.
Today, however was a way more different happening, yet the same. Several outcast and rogue heavy signatures approached Manhattan, in an obvious bait maneuver. After support arrived, we advanced to the very much known unlawful locale in New York, Rochester. And sure as rain in New Tokyo, there they were. My scanner picked up a Ranseur mooring at distance so, it could be that they were waiting for us to attack with our capital assets for the outcast capital to un-moor and basically shoot them in the back. We played the waiting game and when they saw that the fight would be an actual figth, I played my cards on their weak minded captains. And again, rain falls and pours in New Tokyo. The whole situation de-escalated fast and soon no signatures were in the vicinity as they ran to protection under the junker umbrella.
Later on, intel advised to several Unioner signatures in system. Linking up with the Iowa, I played the bait. Iowa played the hammer. And once again, rain does fall in tons in New Tokyo. They were all huddling up in Beaumont, a Hel cruiser and two Arbeiter fighters. Handlers, UN|Abomination, UN|Dorsten and UN|Rheiner.Sthal. After 'asking' me to evict the vicinity of Beaumont, their cruiser captain was quick in issuing the order to get rid of me. So I dodged for a while, deflecting their guns and screams of "For Rheinland" and other nonsense, as the Iowa positioned itself to deal with the most troubling contender, the Unioner cruiser. Some cloak malfunction or my demeanor alerted the cruiser commander, who felt danger approaching. Top marks for instincts. Zero for manners. As the Iowa uncloaked right at his side, like a father catching her daughter with a boy on prom night, the cruiser received a spanking. So since they thought Texas was part of Rheinland, we gave the cruiser a proper Libertonian hello. With anti-matter and mortar fire. After the Iowa delt with the cruiser, it stood down as their weaponry is mainly anti-capital, leaving me to deal with the two fighters.
And as the last time I visited Rheinland, it ended much the same way, with a bunch of dead rheinlanders. And since my dad taught me manners and raised no buffoon, I gave them the notice.
Welcome to Liberty.

Greetings Command,
Yesterday, before turning in for some shut eye, I was in Colorado coming from the Rio Grande patrol when I managed to intercept a cardamine smuggler, handler Hans_Hans, that thought that dropping his cargo while running before stopping would prevent an arrest. With some words, I convinced him to stop, and pulled his paperwork data. Needless to say, the ship captain didn't wanted to face jailtime so he did the dumbest thing. Dying.
Today, another day in Liberty. A Secondary Fleet capital, LNS-California, called for backup as soon as I started my patrol. It seemed it had been entangled with two Scyllas, managing to down one, and the last one trying to escape into the Badlands. Some afterburner on the Guardian, and soon, I intercepted the Scylla, handler /_\-Gore right before heading to dock in Buffalo. The captain of the California decided to end the deal with a Heavy Mortar at point blank range.
Not long after, a nomad signature was spotted in New York, and with a grid search we managed to pin the creature near the sun. I decided to end it there and without ceremony. Later on, intel reported a Rogue near the lanes to the Texas Gate. Flying as quickly as I could, I managed to stop the sorry excuse of a man, handler /_\-Four.Fingered.Nicky, and asked him if he wanted the hard way out of his ship, or the easy way into Sugarland. He chose the hard way.

Greetings Command,
I encountered a few Gauls in California today. Three to be precise. Those three gunboats fell pretty quickly after facing our Siege Cruisers and we were able to destroy all three of them.
In the fight we also found a few pirates. Of course we took care of them as well. The first pirate who fell was an Outcast. His ship got obliterated by my Super Nova Antimatter Cannon. A beautiful sight.
The next one was the Rogue cruiser, obliterated by my SNAC.
The third pirate wasn't that easy to kill. He was able to take out one after another of our forces until a friend of him arrived. From that point on, the fight started to get pretty dire.
After Admiral Sader's ship got hit by a mine they focused my bomber and eventually left it severely damaged in space.
I'm not aware what happened after my ship was disabled.
As always, this concludes my report.
Mayer out.

Greetings Command,
Somebody got to send the news flash to whatever the hole is that the Outcasts call home, because their presence and intelligence in Liberty is becoming more stupid by the hour. Probably the carda ain't the same quality or brand. Who knows.
Today I got to see three Ranseurs. More than the Gauls back up in the Taus did, I bet.
First one cloaked on sight. Didn't even had time to scan it. Second one lit the Manhattan proximity grid. Handler Phoenix. Needless to say, caught and given a libertonian Hello. Accompanying him, there was an RM-2A Storta, handler Draco. Was on the way of getting greeted by our forces, and it liked so much that it tried to dock Manhattan. By force. Or despair. You choose.
Later on, was called to Penn. Intel signaled another Ranseur, handler Smith, already known to us. It was sitting right in front of Erie. It lit up the cruise engines towards the sun the moment I exited the trade lane. Hopefully the crew died of solar radiation.
Or from the repair bill. We can only hope.
Then the alarms blared like angry divorced women asking for the manager. Two big Hellfire signatures sighted near Philadelphia Station. Moved onto there and surprise, surprise. Two 'Judies' camping the lanes. Probably spreading whatever tainted freedom they have. Handlers HLS-Rude.Boy and HLS-Hell's_Hand. So they were spreading the word of Hellfire freedom, and it's only educated and proper we showed them ours. And then we had an argument. As all arguments go, it ended badly. One was shown the door and the other was given a slap.
What a rush. I'm always up for these political discussions. Really. I live for them. And to end in politics, I spotted a Rheinlander as I was resuming patrol. Handler Hagen. Now, I hate Rheinlanders as any given war vet. We lost a lot. They didn't lost enough.
So I did what I was trained for in the One Four One.
Welcome to Liberty, rheinlander.

Greetings Command,
Hm. A promotion. Some good news after this day, which was.. like the circus came to town. First off, a smuggler to start the patrol. Handler, Harald.Harring, carrying Artifacts and Cardamine. Curious mix. Surrendered on the spot, and was rightfully nervous. The cargo was destroyed on the site of interdiction and Mr. Harring was escorted to Manhattan and arrested by the LGF Security Force on landing. Pending trial last I heard.
Then, intel arrived and warned about two pirates, up to no good in the West Point-Norfolk trade lane. As first on the scene, I fount the two pirates shooting a lonesome freelancer gunboat. Handlers, ~The-Second-Amendement~ and Consequence. Support arrived in the form of Fleet Admiral Jones and John Armada from the fifth. Didn't had time to salute. Sorry. As it progressed on, their support arrived. And it figures, where there are snubs to shoot, it's there. The running man, LRD-"A_Liberty_Tragedy". The pressure was onto us and Armada bought the farm, and not soon after, Commander John Mayer of the First arrived on the scene. Didn't had time to salute either. Sorry again. His L-117 became scrap not soon after. Finally capital reinforcements arrived in the form of the carrier LNS-Chattahoochee, and the Tragedy man did what he did best. Became the Running man and skipped out the scene.
The bombers tucked tail and cloaked their behinds before we could say 'Pew'. And even before we could dock, more issues appeared again near Norfolk. This time, we had LPI support by Morten Helberg. The Chattahoochee engaged the Tragedy again and the bombers, now repaired, showed up again. A hunter bought the farm but also one of the new unlawful reinforcements. I proceeded to the site and engaged as well with Tragedy running again, limp and almost broke. We gave pursuit and off into the Badlands we went. A bounty hunter and a freelancer came as well and basically all hell broke lose. Confusion aside, I lit Consequence's behind on fire. In the end, however, it was me against an outcast snub, handler Soprano, one of two original cloaking bombers and another freelancer turned pirate and the Tragedy. The rest of the lawful forces were scrapped to kingdom come.
All in all, a big fracking sh**storm for little ol' me in the middle of the badlands. But, Liberty is eternal. And Liberty never gives up. The Plymouth Rock from the First and the Odyssey from the 5th, went in cloaked and silent. Managing to get in position they broke the Tragedy in half with a surprise attack. Poor sucker didn't saw it coming. As I turned back to give support to the capitals against the snub cloud, I was pinned by the remaining original cloaked bomber. And gave him food for thought. Or anti-matter. Maybe both.
In the end, we cleaned house. But we lost one too many in the process. And I returned with my L-117 half busted but still flying.
