Instead of that, how about you come find out? Visit Leyte, I'm sure the crew on board would love some encouraging words. It would raise the morale. I'll give a few keywords to this mystery.:
You can tell these alleged fans of mine that I'll drop by within a few hours. Better at least be a good excuse as to why Leeds of all places is involved, or one hell of a story. After all, we're a rebellion and not the National Tourism Office. On the plus side, I'll finally get to meet Chambers.
I still think you're awfully green and need to get your bearings with combat and interdiction procedures. But you've shown promise, and that's a good start. Bloodying yourself earns you the honor of a proper name, yours will be Devil. Earn a fitting reputation for your new name, you're a scorpion now after all.
The Commander's office has pronounced a proclamation of emancipation, a campaign intended to eradicate monolithic influence of any one group across the Independent Worlds around Liberty, in favor of actually reflecting the namesakes of both independence and liberty. Operations will entail stiff opposition to naval strike groups, as well as any other traditional rivals or freaks.
One such major step towards accomplishing this campaign's goal was the large scale conflict in Coronado as of yesterday.

REPORT: Emancipation forces had just assisted Covenant forces in routing a naval task force within the system, Outcast elements in the area were warned their continued presence would warrant a reaction. Enemy forces posed a challenge under the assumption that small ships meant a small threat. Protracted conflict ensued with Covenant forces focusing fire on warships, protected by the Xeno fighter screen acting in the interests of Free Republic policy. The orange armada was gradually whittled down and defeated in detail.
Battle result: DECISIVE VICTORY
Side note: Ragman commended as Hero of Coronado for exceptional service.
During my trip down to Coronado I had a run with a Crayter Deimos with the callsign "Alexander Carrillo" and an Outcast Hasta which read as the "MNS-Gran". Soon enough a pair of Auxesian bombers showed up as well and I proceeded to help them disable the Deimos by keeping it pinned down. What happened after the Auxesians disabled the Deimos however was rather odd.
The Amenhotep showed up flying Insurgency colours and sporting main weaponry of a type I have never seen before but I couldn't helping the noticing the similarity to their fighter weaponry and anti-matter cannon. Even more interesting is what that whack-job captain was saying especially in regards to the Auxesians. I'll attach the audio of the encounter and also a few guncam images and scans I managed to grab before I pulled out. For what this all means well...I guess I'll leave that to you.

Missed me? I bet you did. You know who didn't? Those Golden Chrysanthemum people. Outside of their shots. They missed a lot of those, but let me give you a rundown.
Standard border patrol through Cortez revealed a few GC- vessels. Boa found them first, and what I imagine is a small back and forth of words, the shooting started. Ridgenose got there soon too, and I jumped in last. I expected to see one or two freighters, maybe an escort. Instead, we got around 5-6 freighters, with 2-3 snubs. The odds weren't favourable, thus we had to make do. Cull the numbers, divide their attention.
I bet this is what they call a textbook distraction. When Boa got roughed up a bit, he managed to pull out, and join back in later on. When Ridgenose got roughed up, I blew clean through a freighter or two to get us some well-deserved nanobots. Hell, they even hired some Freelancer gunship called "RV-Pennybrooke", only for that one to die with the pile later on. Thankfully, we got some reinforcements in the end by some other Xeno ships, and the best makeshift gunship you can ask for, the Linwood.
What did we learn from all this? Coordinate, and no foe is too great. Oh, and my Spatial can still roll with the punches. Snubs, freighters, and gunship fire, and the bastard still flies as badly as ever.
Here's the casualty list:
