The name is Noel Oliver, I hereby to join the BPA and to serve the queen as long I live for. I'm trying to join BPA to protect my home system from pirates and smugglers. I graduated from a finest university on Planet New London; with a GPA of 3.8 not quite cheerful of it; could have done better. However, I dont have fighter but a Gunboat. I myself find out recruiters aren't able to fly those, but I'm willing to purchase the fighter and get ready for patroling Bretonia System. If the HQ wants to find out more about myself, please feel free to ask.

Greetings,
By god, I swear people get dumber by the day. But, that's for later now. The first thing I'd like to report is an Order Gunboat by the name of Renegado. This man was more than a gentleman, though, and let me be after I left while he was on the phone.
This man, though, was a complete and total idiot. He refused to drop his cargo for a good ten minutes, then refused to pay the fine for another until the BAF showed up. What a bloody fool...

Good evening,
Most of my recent patrols have been fairly quiet, with one exception. I caught a smuggler in New London by the name of *WISE*_Knave who my scanners detected as carrying software. Further analysis by my onboard computer determined that the software was Counterfeit.
I ordered him to hold up. He held up briefly at the Dublin jump gate, but when I arrived to administer justice, he jumped through to Dublin. Dublin being Dublin, I chose not to follow.
I did contact the CCD, and the Spaulder was launched from Planet Leeds, however the Knave didn't come back out of Dublin. I suspect he holed up with the Mollys in the hopes that we would forget about him, or snuck out of Dublin through other means. In any case, he was not apprehended, did not drop his cargo, and paid no fine, and is therefore a scofflaw. All Constables should be on the lookout for this Knave, who is not nearly as wise as his callsign would have you believe.

My lord!
I think I shat myself tonight. I entered Cambridge this evening to educate the populace on our Passenger Licensing, and I came to the Battleship Norfolk to find a ship that was reading "Wild." Now, I've heard the rumors, and I've read the emergency manual, but I have to say that nothing could prepare me for what transpired with Hektor Schneider.
We talked a bit, strangely, and after a while, I got close enough to scan his cargo. I saw a horde of hostages in his hold. I asked him nicely to free them and leave, and he asked me to cut a deal. Apparently the folks down on Planet had gotten their hands on a new toy, an artifact from Mr. Schneider. Of course, I refused, and I also told Mr. Schneider he needed to be licensed for his Nomad Technology.
Unfortunately, he didn't think much of it, and just went rambling on about his property and how we're apparently thieves. To make a long story short, we ended up fighting, and a BAF Captain, A. came to assist me. The outcome is as follows:
Needless to say, I was quite ecstatic to not be dead. After this, I spotted a Corsair near the Battleship as well. Leadcrows seemed more than polite, though, and left the area without much of a fuss.
Onto the fun stuff, I have released the following hostages:
However, in my hold remains five Wild pilots and a Nomad Energy Blaster until I get instructions on what to do with them.
A damn good day,
~Abigail Thorn

A spectacularly dull patrol of Leeds, New London, Newcastle and Cambridge today. I spotted a NLH in Leeds while I was in New London, but before I could go apprehend the rotter, my console began bleeping and docked automatically with Southampton. Coolant leak in the engine, would you believe. Rather spectacularly awful timing.
After repairs were completed, I undocked from Southampton to find Bretonia mostly deserted, other than the standard trade convoys and pirate grunts. Seeing no point in hanging around, I headed for planet Leeds and ended my patrol.

Guten Tag sirs,
Gateway Interstellar has recently stumbled across a great opportunity to both Gateway and Bretonia. The Zoners on Freeport 1 have recently given us rights to ship their Deuterium. On this matter, we'd like to procure shipping rights through Bretonia, most notably to South Shields Refinery and Planet Cambridge.
We understand, fully, the implication of this material's transporting, and we understand, fully, what would happen to us if we break the various Bretonian Laws having to do with this material.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, may a permit be acquired?

Hello sirs,
Today was a very successful day. I met a captain of a Bretonian Gunboat named ~Venom~, who I informed the BAF about. They educated him on the proper behavior of a Bretonian officer. Their methods were harsh, but I do hope that he learns how to properly callsign his ship.
After this, I received Passenger Licensing from a Judo_Kast, who was very cooperative. I then managed to convince a Quasimodo to return his passengers to Planet Cambridge because he was unlicensed. A good thing, too, he appeared to be heading to the southern Ice Field...
After this, a certain Lothar was not licensed to have Nomad technology and refused to be so. The Zoner had a Nomad Blaster and a Nomad Thruster.
Thankfully, he wasn't a very good pilot, and I managed to destroy his ship without much of a problem. Evidence of the destruction of Nomad Technology is enclosed:

Dear Herr Koch,
We apologize for the delay, but due to the recent injury of Sir Alan Lauderdale, the commissioner, much of our daily processes have slowed down. It has taken some time for us to get your request approved without Sir Alan's consent, but after much juggling through the Bretonian bureaucracy, it has been deemed that a trade permit be granted to the institution of Gateway Interstellar.
The Royal Crown of Bretonia, endowed upon her majesty Carina I, hereby grants the honourable firm, Gateway Interstellar, to conduct trade between the locations of Freeport One, South Shields, and Planet Cambridge. With this, the firm of Gateway Interstellar pledges to honour and preserve he Laws of the kingdom.

Subject: Bretonian Gunboat in Rheinland space
Ladies and gentlemen,
upon waking up today, I was contacted by Josh Cooper via the Loricate's Comm Channels. He said something about a Bretonian Gunboat, named nights-fire, causing trouble in Rheinland space.
The RM captured the vessel and arranged a transfer to Bretonia - the plan was to meet in Omega 3 space, from where I, as a SRD member, should escort the vessel back into Bretonia space for further investigation.
Unfortunately, the chaps on that bulky beauty decided to fire upon our Rheinland collegues and forced them to scrap the ship on the scene.
I'll transfer my blackbox recordings, including the conversion with Lt. Malte of the Rheinwehr, to the NSY Database now.
