I came to see if the smuggling situation has improved. It has not. I have caught CVS-Cristobal, a Junker Pilgrim Liner full of Cardamine entering Manhattan. Sadly my visual evidence-capturing apparatus on the PEGASUS vessel failed. So I had no choice - I had to bluff and pretend it hasn't. The perpetrator was issued and paid a 200,000 fine and stated they will abide by the laws of liberty. Laws broken: 1.1 Illegal Contraband commodities. Cooperated and complied with instructions.
[01.05.2023 12:39:56] 1st|PEGASUS-Sentinel: CVS cut your engines
[01.05.2023 12:40:10] CVS-Cristobal: ?:Hooowdy there, Off'er!
[01.05.2023 12:40:12] 1st|PEGASUS-Sentinel: You have been found in violation of Liberty's smuggling laws
[01.05.2023 12:40:15] 1st|PEGASUS-Sentinel: Evidence is collected
[01.05.2023 12:40:27] CVS-Cristobal: ?:How come? What do ya mean?
[01.05.2023 12:40:57] 1st|PEGASUS-Sentinel: You were caught with full cargo hold of Cardamine
[01.05.2023 12:41:09] 1st|PEGASUS-Sentinel: That you have just deposited on Manhattan
[01.05.2023 12:41:19] CVS-Cristobal: ?:How can you say that Off'cer?
[01.05.2023 12:41:34] 1st|PEGASUS-Sentinel: I literally just saw you and took visual Evidence Junker!
[01.05.2023 12:41:36] CVS-Cristobal: ?:Accusing the good work I'm doin.
[01.05.2023 12:42:03] 1st|PEGASUS-Sentinel: Granted, you now do not have it on board, at least you tried to pretend you were hiding
[01.05.2023 12:42:17] CVS-Cristobal: ?:It must've been a wrong reading, kind Sir!
[01.05.2023 12:42:35] CVS-Cristobal: ?:I've heard these scanners could go haywire from time to time
[01.05.2023 12:42:42] 1st|PEGASUS-Sentinel: I am going to issue a symbolic fine of 200,000 Credits and ask you to state "I will abide by laws of Liberty"

[01.05.2023 12:43:22] CVS-Cristobal: ?:I will abide by laws of Linberty, so help me the good work the good book tells us to do!

Earlier alongside Lieutenant Mahdi Bakeri we discovered two artifacts smugglers in Virgina's restricted area. Clonazepam and Christopher. Jr with 5,000 Xeno Relics each! Christopher. Jr was disabled after fleeing, but Clonazepam got away. I recommend he is contacted and become a wanted man if he won't comply.
Laws broken: 2. Trespassing, 1.1 Illegal Contraband commodities, 5. Obstructing justiceFled the scene. One vessel disabled and evidence delivered to Manhattan issued a fine and will be wanted if won't comply

Good day Admiral,
Today I stopped a vessel at West Point interchange in New York, Designation Phantomchord and it appeared to be a Pitbull Pirate train. This individual was very abrupt with his answers to my interogation, but I also made sure I looked up the Special Licenses that are granted to these vessels, and his vessel was not among the approved ones. He was then fined 500.000 Sirius Credits and was escorted into Cortez.
I have suspicions he may be a smuggler, but cannot be sure without evidence.
The language used by the individul was something to say the least so I will include my full chat log within the files below.
[01.05.2023 14:29:12] 1st|Raptor-1-PC: PhantomChord This is Vanguard form the 1st Armada please hold your position

[01.05.2023 14:30:06] PhantomChord: Well, so you say
[01.05.2023 14:30:27] 1st|Raptor-1-PC: Yes I do say .... and also you will be issued a fine then escorted out
[01.05.2023 14:30:30] Death: Igneel suffered a self-administered loadout error (Missile/Torpedo).
[01.05.2023 14:30:33] PhantomChord: a lck of a license makes it so
[01.05.2023 14:30:49] 1st|Raptor-1-PC: you say you have a license
[01.05.2023 14:30:58] PhantomChord: you even check my lisence?
[01.05.2023 14:31:10] 1st|Raptor-1-PC: I will check it now ....please hold
[01.05.2023 14:31:22] PhantomChord: Ha, that confused you, even confused me.
[01.05.2023 14:31:41] PhantomChord: you jumped in too soon

[01.05.2023 14:33:40] PhantomChord: which is?
[01.05.2023 14:34:07] 1st|Raptor-1-PC: your fine is 500.000 Sirius credits and you will be escorted back out of Liberty
[01.05.2023 14:36:35] PhantomChord: and thats my point officer.
[01.05.2023 14:36:49] 1st|Raptor-1-PC: Pay your fine and I will let you leave through Cortez

[01.05.2023 14:39:36] PhantomChord: It's not called Liberty for nothing is it, it's a pisstake.

Good day Admiral,
Leaving from Manhatten planetside, and what do I see, a smuggler with Black Market Light Arms Admiral. The particular vessel was very cooperative and did what he was told. Nothing more to add, apart from the files attached.

Good day Admiral,
Chased this individual again bhfdch from Colorado and found him just as he undocked from Manhatten after he sold his Sorted Artifacts that I scanned, but again too late to capture the evidence. So I approached the individual, and asked him to pay his outstanding fine. After he did not communicate with me I asked him once again and he tried to fly off.
He flew towards the lane so I disrupted it and warned him if he moved I would open fire, so he then carried on to engage me with his weapons.
I recommend that this individual has a Bounty put on his head and his fines are to be increased to 700.000 Credits to the scar damage on my ship and also damage to my cockpit window.
I have gun cam video evidence attached to the file below.

A massive Outcast fleet was reported near Fort Bush. The First Armada lead the defense, bolstered by 5th|LNS-Enterprise and many independent defenders.
We have fought valiantly in this massive battle, taking down several hostiles
Unfortunately, the skill and numerical advantage were in the invader's corner and we have suffered a defeat. The recent smuggling surge in New York...now this massive fleet finding its way to New York...It would seem like we have been too distracted by the Insurgency situation so much that the heart of Liberty is no longer secure.

Greetings, officers.
I have filled the formal paperwork. Got my quarters and equipment. I await eagerly my first assignment. Say, I am most familiar with larger ships. Are there any bombers lacking a pilot?

Sender name and rank:Admiral Blake Wayne Van Leer Location:New York Recipients:Crewman Victor Callotis Subject:Orders
As a Crewman, you will be assigned to serve on various Liberty Navy Capital Ships of the First Armada on a rotating basis from the get-go. You might help fetch the ammo in the gun room, assist with tactical scanning duties, or clean the bathrooms should your Commanding Officers order you to naturally.
With our manpower shortage you also will be useful as a bomber pilot, I hope West Point trained you well. The Ohio Battlegroup in Vespucci is currently mopping up the last remaining Insurgents. They may seem outnumbered Ten to One, but be careful - those who remained are all zealous battle-hardened veterans. There's no better place for a crewman to gain experience than on the front lines. You are to report to Vespucci and await the assignment from the local command staff.
Godspeed, Crewman Callotis! I hope you fulfill your potential within the First Armada, you will be given all the opportunities in the world!

Sender name and rank:Patrol Commander -- CODENAME --VANGUARD Location:REDACTED Recipient:Admiral Van-Leer Subject:Busy night
Good day Admiral,
Vanguard here once again, and was this a very eventful night indeed. First of all myself and 1st|Raptor-94 piloted by Cypher were patrolling within the systems of Colorado and New York and after scouting Colorado we came across a Serenity class vessel carrying New Pilot Graduates .... of all things.
Raptor-94 had proceeded to stop the individual and made it clear that he was carrying illegal cargo which is clarified under illegal transportation of human cargo, and after a stand off he refused to land and drop the pilots off and instead proceeded to eject them from the vessel. With quick reactions Raptor-94 immediately contacted Command and a Pegasus Transport was scrambled to the scene, and luckily all the Graduates were rescued safely.
This pilot will need to be watched from now on - Callsign Mac -
Below is photgraphic eveidence of the incident with the cargo scan and the Pegasus retreiving the Graduates.
After that Admiral we got a distress call from the Pegasus recovery vessel, stating there was a Rogue near Manhatten, and sure enough we spotted him as we approached the planet, meanwhile Raptor-94 had ended his shift so immediately I called for backup from command and they sent a Bomber to assist me in repelling the Rogue - Callsign Birdie -
Unfortuately this Rogue decided to crssh into Rochester after the Pegasus and Juggernaut and myself made him very unwelcome.
And Finally Admiral an individual with - Callsign Talice - was a kishiro Transport and sneaked, or tried to sneak past my guard and was somewhat successful, but not quite as I captured footage of the Artifacts he was carrying and as you can see I have supplied Gun cam evidence once again.
I would have pulled the black box logs, but for some reason the drive was corrupt, so the engineers are fixing it for me.

Good day Admiral,
Since I was put in charge of Raptor Squad, it has been our busiest day ever today stopping people and making Liberty safe.
The main incident was a vessel tagged NHI-T>Nightshade, and this vessel was a Gallic Blackmarket Transport which according to Law 4.1 is restricted in Liberty. Whilst we detained the individual I proceeded to check out the Registry for a special license for the vessel and I did not find one.
The vessel was ordered to fly back the way it had proceeded from under escort. I proceeded to escort the vessel along with 1st|LNS-Interdictor who was present at the time. he proceeded to ebter Texas and seemed in a hurry, and then I knew why, he swiftly docked onto Planet Houston and basically did not follow my orders to leave Liberty. This individual will now be a shoot on sight target, unless of course he cooperates when stopped and does as he is told. He will be issued with one warning and if he resists in any way my Raptors will make sure he gets the message.
All other incidents were minor really, more or less mainly new pilots that need some help or attention. Scans were performed but overall a busy night, and may I akso thank 1st|Raptor-94 who accompanied me when 1st|LNS-Interdictor had to leave us.
The main log of the incident with the transport is logged below, but the other logs are just stopping traders and scanning, No visual evidence because Norfolk need a part for my camera.
