Today we had an interesting situation unfold in our favor. A known smuggler, going by the name of Shadow_Runner, attempted to infiltrate the Liberty border and turn in a load of contraband to the Manhattan space dock. While our efforts to stop him were unsuccessful, we did manage to bag a guncam shot of his breach of Liberty code, one the LPI have been needing for months.
I'm officially recommending that this vessel be barred from docking on and flying near Liberty installations for numerous accounts of breach of Liberty Code Section I, subsection I. I also recommend we find out how to mount cloaking disruptors on our docking rings, just to make our lives easier.
Nothing further.
Regards,

Greetings Command,
As some or all of you may know, Allen's arm was taken during an attack on Omaha. Currently, I'm researching ways to find a replacement working in conjunction with a couple specialists the Navy has to offer. While I have made some progress on this, it will still be some time before a final arm is built and ready for use. Due to this, Captain Allen Bradley will be out of action for the foreseeable future. In a similar note, Lieutenant Commander Jasmine Tapp, Battleship Omaha's bridge staff, is unable to be located through any means and is being listed as MIA on personnel records for Omaha. Every effort is being taken into locating her, but at this time little progress has been made.

Greetings Command,
To began today's patrol I met the Admiral in space. After a short greeting, a Rogue gunboat had showed it's face. Being nearby, I swapped over to my Upholder and jumped into the action. The gunboat, a Condor civilian gunboat, was intent to kill one of us, it failed and was struck down by my bombers anti-matter armament. This craft would prove to be a constant annoyance through the day.
Following this, a Rogue light fighter had presented itself, shortly after running from the Admiral. Later on, he showed his face again but this time did not escape. The Admiral handing the battle to me and after a few exchanges of fire the fighter was knocked from the skies by a nuclear mine. A Rogue super heavy fighter was also located and put down by a hired freelancer after surrendering himself. Following this reports of a slaver running to the badlands came in and the craft was intercepted. Using a transport, I picked up 2,820 slaves, the rest of which were picked up by a different transport.
To finish today's patrol, a Freelancer Rheinland bomber marked with a pirate transponder had come about for a battle. Refusing to drop contraband armaments, the craft had chosen to do battle. Engaged by myself, the Admiral, and a Police bomber, the craft was destroyed, but with the loss of the police bomber. Advise caution when approaching this vessel and similarly registered vessels. Report from a civilian suggests that a Defiant-class gunboat has fallen into the hands of 'LC', but these reports have yet to be confirmed. If encountered and true, the vessel is to be impounded immediately and crew apprehended. Use of force to destroy assets only if necessary.
Read through the report tacked on by Lt. Cmdr. Bradley a few days ago when she reported it, and recently we ran across the vessel in question. At approximately 2300 hours SMT, the Omaha encountered a 'Defiant'-class Liberty Navy gunship with Freelancer identification papers and a Pirate IFF. This vessel, callsign 'LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde', was accompanied by a 'Fafnir'-class Rheinland Military bomber sporting the same markings, and flew within the perimeter of the Manhattan defense grid. The captain of the vessel, of which could not be identified until the end of the encounter (calling himself 'Biggles'), refused to follow guidelines of registration after denying his activity of doing so, effectively informing myself that his ship was illegal in nature. In addition, the two vessels were loaded down with cases of Black Market Arms.
While Chief Foster was unable to acquire guncam footage of this event, the logs can be traced and the confirmation found within the dialogue. I am requesting that the Navy officially tracks this vessel and purges it before more civilian lives are put at risk, as the captain stated that the vessel was indeed used for pirate activity.
[15.09.2017 22:57:27] LC-Devourer: Oh hello.
[15.09.2017 22:57:31] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Now this is a grand reveal!
[15.09.2017 22:57:40] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Bravo.
[15.09.2017 22:57:43] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Interesting.. one of our gunships.
[15.09.2017 22:57:47] LC-Devourer: Yes, a completely silent Overlord.
[15.09.2017 22:57:52] LC-Devourer: Oh wait, he's not silent.
[15.09.2017 22:57:59] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: 'She', goofball. [15.09.2017 22:58:08] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Mind telling me why you have one of our vessels?
[15.09.2017 22:58:12] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Manners sir, remember?
[15.09.2017 22:58:20] LC-Devourer: Oh no, someone who's probably just as bad or possibly worse than Bradley.
[15.09.2017 22:58:30] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Rightful law of salvage my dear fellow!
[15.09.2017 22:58:42] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I asked you a question.
[15.09.2017 22:58:46] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Now answer it.
[15.09.2017 22:58:47] LC-Devourer: We found it. [15.09.2017 22:58:52] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Found it floating in a scrap field a bit north of Manhatten.
[15.09.2017 22:58:53] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Bull.
[15.09.2017 22:59:05] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Dissmiss it all you want.
[15.09.2017 22:59:06] LC-Devourer: Okay, it may have been crewed at the time, but it was nobody anyone would miss.
[15.09.2017 22:59:14] LC-Devourer: If it was crewed at all.
[15.09.2017 22:59:22] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: We could have left that detail out you know...
[15.09.2017 22:59:36] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I'm not even neverminding the cargo the Chief's reading off your ships.
[15.09.2017 22:59:37] LC-Devourer: We could have, sure.
[15.09.2017 22:59:47] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Why haven't you registered that ship?
[15.09.2017 22:59:50] LC-Devourer: Oh, you mean our personal protection?
[15.09.2017 23:00:10] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Sirius is a dangerous place these days.
[15.09.2017 23:00:15] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Doesn't matter.
[15.09.2017 23:00:24] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: All these neer-dowells running about.
[15.09.2017 23:00:28] LC-Devourer: That is a very good question. The most obvious answer can be summed up as, um, I'm actually too lazy to come up with an insult
[15.09.2017 23:00:30] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: If you fly our ships, they need to be registered.
[15.09.2017 23:00:48] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I don't care whether you found the damn thing, or if Santa gave it to you.
[15.09.2017 23:00:52] LC-Devourer: We registered the ships with ourselves.
[15.09.2017 23:01:02] LC-Devourer: They're registered enough anywhere that matters.
[15.09.2017 23:01:09] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Wrong answer.
[15.09.2017 23:01:19] LC-Devourer: Regardless, it's the one you're stuck with, lassie.
[15.09.2017 23:01:23] LC-Devourer: Come along, we got stuff to do.
[15.09.2017 23:01:37] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: I'm afraid you've got nothing to do.
[15.09.2017 23:02:00] LC-Devourer: Ma'am, I can't hear you over some hot air sharing a bridge with you.
[15.09.2017 23:02:05] LC-Devourer: It's blowing too hard.
[15.09.2017 23:02:07] LNS-Raleigh: LtCmdr Ramsey: Greetings!
[15.09.2017 23:02:11] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: You're going to set down on the Capital right now and fill out the registration form, or I can put a huge hole-

[15.09.2017 23:03:02] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Perhaps I might depart, getting a bit to steamy for my liking.
[15.09.2017 23:03:12] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ??? Fare thee well!
[15.09.2017 23:03:16] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Raleigh, please corner this ship.
[15.09.2017 23:03:16] LC-Devourer: Oh no, you're one of the crazy girls of the type that get entire starship crews killed.
[15.09.2017 23:03:24] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Moth- ughhhhhhhh.....
[15.09.2017 23:03:26] LC-Devourer: You'll understand if I want to keep my distance.
[15.09.2017 23:03:28] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Fine, then.
[15.09.2017 23:03:39] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Enjoy being a smear on my hitlist.
[15.09.2017 23:03:55] LC-Devourer: I'm such a smear. Oh no.
[15.09.2017 23:04:00] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Next time I, or any Fleet member, sees that ship, you're toast.
[15.09.2017 23:04:10] LC-Devourer: Yeah sure whatever
[15.09.2017 23:04:24] 5th|LNS-Omaha: Hunter: Funny how you think I'm joking.
[15.09.2017 23:04:38] LC-Devourer: Well, considering the general state of affairs in Liberty...
[15.09.2017 23:04:49] LC-Devourer: I assumed you were laughing lest you be crying.
[15.09.2017 23:04:59] LC-LNS-Mesa.Verde: ???: Remember my name if you do my Liberty friends! I am A..... "Biggles". Yes... "Biggles".

Comm ID: Nicole Bradley Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Encounter with LC
Greetings Command,
While flying through Liberty, it came to my attention that yet another stolen Defiant-class gunship had fallen into the hands of the vessels marked 'LC'. Taking swift action.. alongside Allen, I captained the Achilles to counter the threat. The two craft, one Rheinland bomber, the other the stolen Defiant, had fled forces while feigning surrender of the Defiant. The two craft split up and I followed my target, the Defiant, named San.Antonio. While being led on quite the chase, the rogue vessel was struck down, putting up little to no resistance, seemingly focusing on attempting to evade me. Following it's destruction, I returned to watch as Allen and battlecruiser Icarus struck down the LC bomber.

Ensign Ace Walker Reporting in.
24th September, 824 A.S.
Today I have received my ship after going in for some upgrades, it was delivered to me at Planet Manhattan.
Being exited to test it out, as I launched in to space I have spotted an Outcast Battleship. I immediately chased after him and when I was close enough I have Disrupted his engines, while I was trying to communicate with him he opened fire and shot down my freshly upgraded ship. I have escaped in the escape pod and was tractor-ed in by the fine officer's on Planet Manhattan as I was luckily close by. I have uploaded the details of the Target Ship. Be ware of him, If spotted engage immediately with out hesitation as he will take you down in a blink of an eye.
I have sustained no injuries and have been declared fit for battle by the medical team on Planet Manhattan.
My new ship have been ordered and I will soon be back in space.

Greetings, pilots!
Today, we received this distress transmission on the community channel. The individual's ship is probably disabled, floating somewhere around sector B5 in New York, just behind Detroit Debris Field.
If possible, send a medical transport there, in company of atleast one Guardian to escort it to this location. Be prepared for a possible trap, an ambush coming up, or even something worse though. Make sure to keep the possible injured person safe and move to a safe location. Call for backup if needed.

Sir,
The maiden voyage of the C5 Bison class Dubbed the "Kanata" went Great. During the test run, engine slightly overheated but nothing above dangerous level. The test path was from Baltimore shipyard New York to Planet Cambridge. The complete system, including defensive system was tested.
Also, we loaded a shipment of med-stasis bands and set course back to Liberty and delivered them directly to Juneau Shipyard. My crew is currently offloading the crates and the bands should be ready for use in few hours!

Greetings Command,
This evening during an overnight patrol, I came across an illegal Freelancer bomber, named Joseph Mayland, a "Barghest" bomber. After attempting to reason with the criminal he attempted to flee and refused orders to halt. Claimed a member of the secondary fleet gave him permission for the vessel, I questioned the credibility of the claim and asked him to find a different vessel, recommending, along with a DSE repairship, suitable replacements. He fled to Fort Bush and refused to leave the station, where I left him to the police.
Afterwhich, I came back to deal with a common eyesore of Liberty space. An LC- registered vessel, carrying usual contraband cargo. After multiple refusals to drop and a weak attempt at personally insulting me, additional support from the First fleet arrived. Outnumbered, the vessel continued to refuse to surrender the contraband. The First member departed with an LSF warship to track down a Rogue heavy vessel, leaving me to deal with the criminal. The engagement was mildly long, but in the end the criminal perished at my hands. Contraband, 5 counts of Black Market Light Arms, were secured and interred at lockup. My guncam was damaged during the battle, but I recovered a scan of his fall.
Comm ID: Nicole Bradley Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Combat report
Greetings Command,
After receiving a call from my brother about two LC- vessels engaged in a smuggling operation, I launched to come to the aid of First Fleet pilot Alan Polstari. Alan was already engaged with the ship, a Gallic Super Heavy fighter, or miner, whichever one it is. The pilot led us on quite the lengthy chase. Soon after, LPI pilot Paul Morgan. Through our combined efforts, we managed to box in the criminal, who, after losing a good portion of his offensive armament, used his thrust to flee to Freeport 12 in Galileo. While this in itself was nothing out of ordinary, something interesting happened. His smuggler companion, an all too familiar annoying name, LC-Fortune's.Fancy showed himself, declaring his intent to dock on the station to pick up contraband. If this facility is being used to smuggle contraband into Liberty, I recommend immediate action into the matter. Furthermore, the LC fighter continued to flee, eventually leading us back to New York, where the ship perished in the Badlands. LPI reported the Transport smuggler had not appeared in Liberty. Alan and I returned after the vessel fell for some well earned rest. I would like to stress Alan's importance in this deployment, performing vital flanking maneuvers that preventing the fighter from escaping. I recommend immediate action, such as mass-revoking LC- vessels ability to dock within Liberty borders, one specifically, Fortune's.Fancy.
