At 1145 Sirius Standard time the duely elected Congress of the System of California, adopted a new standard. Today marks a historic occasion for the citizens of California and indeed all of Liberty. May this flag stand for all time as a symbol of freedom and prosperity.

"Nobody ever won a war by dying for his country, you win wars by making the sorry SOB's die for theirs!"
(@Elgato, don't want to post in here OOC, but you misunderstood me. We are treating a kill of our allies/AW as one destruction of their ship in this spot. Its not server rules that they must be killed 3 times for them to 'die.' Really, you STILL have to get their permission for their character to 'Die,' even at 3 deaths. You've destroyed HF vessels before, therefor the unnamed, common, HF pilot was killed. {See, just don't specify names, just say an HF pilot [or if killed 3 times, 3 HF pilots]})
Congratulations on both your promotion and the commissioning of the LNS-Vahalla. You have never disappointed me in the past and your future looks bright. As to orders, my suggestion is to complete your shakedown and commence patrol rotation. As your rank implies, circumstances are yours to mold. Your experience and judgement are never indoubt. keep me and DOD apprised of your achievements. I look forward to them as I try to cut through the bloody paperwork. It truly lessens the monotony of the Admiralty.
On the topic of the Harris Operation I have received operational parameters from the BSG command. We are limited to Capitalships, Frigates and higher, to the Manchester system. However, Gunboats and Fighters are allowed throughtout the area of operations as escort. Copy of parameters goes:
"Well,
Lets allow the SA to escort traders in this event with fighters or gunboats. Your other capital ships should go no further than Manchester. Leeds is too far from Liberty for you to be deploying such weaponry. I would appreciate the SA staying out of any KNF/SF fights in the Taus not related to protecting transports. As I'm telling everyone in this, keep an eye for balance. If we don't have enough traders, go get yours and help out, if we dont have escorts...you know the drill.
Thanks Oso."
Under this edict I am issuing orders for this operation of "weapons-cold" in relation to any KNF unit. However, selfdefense is authorized if fired upon by any Kusari unit. In relation to pirates and terrorists my rule of thumb still holds, KOS. But, the safety of our charges is paramount. If an enemy retreats allow them to do so.
Subject to revision by DOD, I also order all Captialships moved to Manchester of Frigate class and higher in preperation for operation. I expect all SA to act according to SF and BSG sensibilities and regulations. In addition I am placing the call for all SA GB and Fighters to make ready for the operation as well.
My compliments
Admiral RedBear
Addendum: We have received clearence from SF command to proceed, however, we shall stick to the dictates of BSG. My compliments to Vice Admiral Nussebull, upon the opening of Harris Operation i suggest removing the LNS-Chinook to Manchester as desired by BSG. However, upon completion, we should continue your operation in New London. My compliments, Admiral.
I wanted to report that near sigma-13 Jumphole at New Berlin system. I was intercepted by a rogue fighter who wanted 2 mil. from me.As a result we engaged and i killed him. After jumping to Honshu i was attacked by [Schyte]Blade. But i had heavy damage and got destroyed. If there is some armor in the storage i need it.

Excellent work, Lieutenant!
But there is only one problem. Why are you carrying an Angelito? If word gets out, the DoD may send an investigator to check out why you have one...
I suggest you get rid of it ASAP.
Also, I'm glad that you did not respond with a warning telling the pirate to run, since you are an SA officer. This is because unless asked, you are a civilian OUTSIDE liberty, and Sigma-13 is certainly outside liberty.
Gurney out.
------------------------------------- GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT
RE: Weapons usage
Btw, due to our arms-trade agreement with the SF, we can mount up to 2 Bretonian weapons MAXIMUM on any ship, from fighters to Dreadnoughts.
However, No member will mount any other weapon besides something that is Civilian, Liberty, or Bretonia made. Anyhing else is simply just not kosher.
Thanks, and keep up the great work, E-MOR! I'll get you your signature ASAP.

@Josh: either you calm down, or I will 15-day ban you, so you have time to think before you write. Aggressiveness is for the battlefield, not for the forums. So either behave, or leave. There will be no 3rd warning. (and this is the 2nd one).
