AAR # 001

Good Morning.

After a quiet supply run to the Hessians, I was returning to Inverness when suddenly a red contact pinged my scanners. It was brief but it was there. A Liberty Navy Battlecruiser. Considering I was on a Serenity class transport, a collision with such a vessel would have ended badly for me and my crew. I relayed the information over a secure channel to the others.

Grand Tectarch West, Flush
Adjutant Mori, Skeleton
Lieutenant Freud, Locksmith
Lieutenant Struikas patched into A/)-Yoruha via Mieko
Initiate Hideyoshi, Prosecutor

The bells rang, it was time for a hunt. After returning to Inverness I boarded my Prosecutor with its newly fitted Antimatter cannons for anti-capital warfare. We headed to Ontario and California, patrolling the system in a search pattern for the large vessel. We finally caught it once it was about to escape to New York. With great effort and contribution of everyone involved, the engines of the vessel went critical, causing a chain reaction aboard the ship which ended in its demise.

Hey. I was sitting around Valravn talking with a few Auxo people and Platform's own "CS" when Commander Freud's probes in Kansas picked up a bunch of activity. We grouped up, and Leviathan jumped us through. We immediately fanned out, and soon Lt. Hideyoshi and Commander Freud found it: A Core gunboat, stuffed to the brim with pilots and guns and flashing a BMM IFF for some reason. We ordered it to stop, it opened fire, I caught up from searching the anomaly cloud, and we popped it.

On our way back, we ran into a Corsair who was on his way to help escort a convoy of artifacts—DTR-CC>Mors.Tenaci. He was friendly, and we had a nice chat. Not two minutes later, though, we got a distress call from him: Liberty Navy had intercepted his convoy. We went to help and came across a big one: A Carrier sitting over Erie. The LNS Faileas. Pretty prophetic name, really. It was pretty rude, though- the captain wouldn't give up his ship or crash it into an uninhabited planet like we asked, so we had to do it for him. It took forever, since he had some kind of illegal armor modification, but we got it eventually.

While we were fighting it, a Navy fighter and an LPI fighter came to intercept. Lt. Hideyoshi peeled off and was under attack by both fighters, and that's about when the Technocracy showed up to help. Yoruha came to help with the carrier, but Ravena helped with the Navy and LPI fighters. She got the LPI off of Lt. Hideyoshi, then they worked together to finish the Navy fighter. We finished off the carrier and tried to RTB, with Lt. Hideyoshi and Commander Freud on fire.

We caught the same Core gunboat in Kansas again on the way back. It ran to Pennsylvania, but we popped it again. I dunno how they got it repaired so fast, but that's not really my concern.

[Image: 9f3oMKL.png]

As we passed through Vespucci, a Xeno fighter swarm appeared behind us somehow. This is actually really concerning—I think they have a dock point in-system. They chased our bombers all the way to Inverness, where more Auxo ships were able to come resupply. I hopped in my fighter and we went to town. Commander Freud was still on fire from the fight with the Navy, so Xeno missiles took him down. Yoruha got chipped down too, but we worked through them one at a time: Fighter, freighter, fighter, fighter.

[Image: QFkLcb4.png]

Amazingly, we still weren't done. Right as the last Xenos fighter fell, and Order fighter jumped into system. They ran to the NFZ, but after most of our ships RTB'd to repair, they drifted out of it. We talked for a while, then they opened up on me. Yuki- um, Lt. Hideyoshi helped, but she was still damaged, so she didn't last long. Ravena came back and dueled them to little success, and then they jumped on me. I was still almost completely dry from the Xenos fight, so Auxo's Venus helped finish it off.

After all of that, I talked to a freelancer patrolling around. His company, Castor Industries, works with Auxo, so we had a little negotiation and we're gonna set up a renovation contract for the El Alto project. I'm sending that message after this.

All told... I'm beat.

Hey.

An ally related to the GNI spotted a Liberty Dreadnought called the USS-JasonRedBloom (where do they get these names?) bullying transports outside Cordova. Me, Commander Freud, and Yoruha of Auxo dropped by to see it in our bombers and unleashed antimatter on it... and it ran away! Annoying, but oh well. Transports were safe, and that's what matters.

Good day, Legionnaires.

As of this morning, the Bounty Hunter base Headhunter Agency Headquarters has been destroyed by a combined assault from Task Force and Pennsylvania Liberation Front forces. Bounty Hunter influence in Pennsylvania has been hampered, weakening—however slightly—the colonial regime.

We struck early in the morning. I took the HFGB Exigua to meet with the Resistance gunboat Tenacity. We quickly came under assault by what appeared—and claimed—to be a Deep Space Engineering vessel calling itself "Mr.Cherry." A bomber. Closer inspection, however, revealed that this ship was actually associated with the Liberty Security Force. They hide behind civilian identification, but they cannot fool us. We destroyed it.

As an interesting aside, a civilian Hegemon called the 'Unlucky' was present, and we had an amiable discussion on Liberty's misdeeds. We can only hope they will take our message forward.

An enemy battlecruiser, the LNS Yosemite, came to halt our progress towards freedom. Exigua took heavy damage in the fight, but thankfully, Auxo sent support in the form of the Ixion, whose cover allowed the Exigua to retreat, repair, and rearm our siege cannon. While we were en route, the Ixion and Tenacity fully reduced the larger vessel to a burning husk.

Upon returning, we were joined by Tectarch West in the HFGB Hellflurry to aid in the siege and Lt. Hideyoshi in her fighter to escort. We continued our siege and annihilated the criminal base.

Erie must be free.

After Action Report

rank & name: Commander Freud, Roland ("Locksmith")
reporting from: Valravn Citadel
ARR # 007

"Commander Freud here. Reporting on Operation Strongarm."

"Our forces, together with some of the Technocracy pilots, were deployed to assist our allies, the Zoners, in their efforts to cripple Liberty's weapons production and, at the same time, provide themselves with additional means to liberate Erie. We were split in two groups: BEAR and WOLVERINE."

"BEAR group task was to breach the defences of Detroit Munitions headquarters. WOLVERINE group, which I was a part of, was to intercept any reinforcements Liberty could send. Naturally, it was extremely unlikely that we could keep the entire Liberty fleet from interfering. Therefore, the operation had to be carried out quickly and with limited forces so that we would not be discovered prematurely."

"Led by Grand Tectarch West, our small group of interceptors (gunboat and three fighters) disabled trade lines that led to Detroit Munitions. A similarly sized group of Liberty reinforcements arrived almost immediately after the operation began — to their credit, they responded quickly. The battle began with the main focus on gunboats. We were able to take out their gunboat first, but Grand Tectarch West's gunboat only lasted a little longer. After this, the battle turned out in our favor: we shot down their fighters one after another. I prepared to take command and lead us to the aid of the main forces."

"Alas, we were too late. Shortly before we dealt with the last reinforcements, the main forces of Liberty themselves arrived to us. We did everything we could — we were even able to destroy the two fighters that arrived with them. However, we stood no chance against their capital ships, especially since our vessels were already damaged. My fighter lost its combat capability under fire from their gunboat."

"Despite this, we made Liberty pay dearly for this victory. And, hopefully, this will dispel any doubts some of the Zoners might still have about our support for their cause."

Good Morning.

During a combat patrol in Magellan, I've encountered a Liberty Assault Battlecruiser with the callsign 'Scylla', a Freelancer Hegemon callsign Ice.Trawler and a Liberty Dreadnought, L.N.S. Jason Redbloom. During a short conversation I was asked by the captain of the L.A.B.C. to leave the area. Obviously, I have denied such a request. The Freelancer wasn't too happy when I started shooting holes into the navy ship as it was apparently under their contract. The Hegemon and the Battlecruiser disappeared. Instead, I was met with a Crayter Battleship and a Magpie of the Liberty Navy. My call for assistance was answered rather quickly.

TFP)-Melanurus, Adjutant Mori
A/)-Yoruha
TFP)-Mizuchi, Lieutenant Hideyoshi
Bandua - Technocrat Gunboat

I have personally dispatched the faster Magpie by using the installed Antimatter Cannons of my Bomber. After, I returned to assist the others with dispatching the capital vessels. Both capital ships received significant damage until they managed to crash into the station.

Rank & Name: Lieutenant Struikas, Andrew (Firebrand)
Reporting From: Valravn Garrison
AAR # 003

Lieutenant Struikas, reporting.

Been a minute. Me and Locksmith were tasked to seek out a 1st.. or Onest, as people seem to be calling them around here - Cruiser and her escort, that had been seen lurking around Liberty. After we were put into a disadvantageous position in California, we fell back and called for reinforcements. Sadly, given it was late at night - said response was little to none. After a wild goose chase, me and Locksmith managed to lure the ships into the Independent worlds one by one, initially engaging the LNS Warhog, a.. Montante-class Gunboat.

.. You think they're scraping the bottom of the barrel here, but that's not all. Not yet - We engaged the Gunboat, and I had to bug out briefly away from the engagement. The fight persisted for 20 minutes, primarily prolonged by the comedian going to and fro the California Hole until the vessel went up like a roman candle. We were returning to base by way of Ontario afterwards. EWR satellites near the Inverness Hole later on found a Archer-class cruiser - it was squawking LIBNAV IFF.. but the ship was a clean slate - no pennant number, no hull designation, not even a NAME. The IFF Identification was of an Ensign, Anthony Buffalo.

An Ensign. Commanding a Cruiser. Does.. does LIberty just fling what they can at the wall and see what sticks, these days? It makes me honestly wonder how we lost at Detroit. But then maybe 1st is just a special kind of.. special. Anywho - we met the poor bastard at the Ontario Hole, he asked if this was Manhattan -- Yes, he seriously did ask that question - And honestly I'm feeling bad now a bit for blowing his ass up because it seems to me that he didn't know what the fuck he was doing.

We followed him into Ontario and engaged him, where he took us on yet another, albeit more explosive, wild goose chase out of the field and above the solar plane. Once we knocked their shields down initially, we started wailing on the Archer-class's powerplant assembly. One.. little known fact about the Archers for those of you not used to fighting 'em. Their powerplant on some of their 820 and onward refits are fitted with Ageira BK-4494C Bulwark Cold Fusion Reactors. Those things are notorious for their piss-poor shielding, and it doesn't help matters that they're placed at the back of the ship -- in front of the propulsion drives.

You hit the engine enough times you can bust the armor and cripple the drives - and one well placed shot will hit and blast that shielding wide open and send the fucker into a cascading wildcat meltdown, taking out the auxiliary MOX powerplant, cooking off plasma stores, along with the main store that drives the forward gun - It'll essentially result in the damned thing turning into a firework and cooking or irradiating any poor bastard inside if they can't haul ass to muster stations fast enough. I'm not saying we sent those poor bastards all straight to hell, but - suffice to say they're going to feel that for a very, very long time if they didn't. Hope that bit of intel counts as something useful, Megiddo. Forgot all about the report I got years ago about that crap.

All in all, the ship went up, he called us cowards as the thing was going off, and we went home, job well done.

[SECURE - GREEN]

Jameson and I joined Lieutenant Crowe and one of the mainline Technocrat crew in Erie orbit, reports about a Navy gunship paling around where it wasn't welcome. Crowe spotted first, relaying us to join.

Fighting took a backseat as we got the ship's pilot to start spilling beans. Captain, freshly promoted; Must be a quick riser, if he was still in classes during Duskstorm. Seemed at first we were getting through to him, only concerned with public safety. Man would've made a good Legionnaire back in the day. Bit tunnel visioned, though, and not quite able, or willing, to see reality past his 'orders'.

We gave him time to think before opening up, and I'd bet he'll have plenty more while he's in medical. Here's hoping he takes this in a good light, though I won't blame him if he's a bit salty for a while.
Probably should've asked his name, though. 'Captain' is a bit generic.
