Greetings sir, here is my report for both yesterday and today.
Yesterday was my first day, and fortunately for me, setting up my Executioner went perfectly, no complications. By the time I had finished setting up the ship I was exhausted, so got some rest.
Later on, I joined the LNS-Gunway in guarding the Alaska jump gate for a while. Afterwards, I joined another officer, the name escapes me, in a patrol of California. Suprisingly quiet. Afterwards I returned to my home for some more rest.
Today I had a short patrol of California, before returning to base aftering remembering I had to set up my desk and sort out some paperwork.
I guess the paperwork gets you in whatever you do.

COMM IDENTIFICATION: Commander William "Rocky" Adama of the LNS-Aurora
ENCRYPTED MESSAGE
i was woken up from some distress calls about two corsair cruisers at planet manhatten.
i send the Aurora down to fort bush and waited for LNS-Gunway to arrive for assitance.
we got word from some scared liberty citizens that they where headed to West point, i move the Aurora straight there, they were no where to be found. i headed to california jump gate when i arrived there was 2 cruisers engaging some bounty hunter i opened fire immidiatly and the first cruiser went down fast, the second one fled to california where [LN]-LNS-Chicago was waiting for him, i arrived a few minutes after due to a traffic jam at the jump gate, when i finally arrived i finish the other cruiser of quickly.
about 2 hours later i got word from from more scared liberty citizens that there were 2 corsairs in at houston causing trouble, i went to investigate to find the same two corsair cruisers fleeing the scene, i chased them into bering. i caught them at freeport 2 and asked them 2 leave, they didnt comply they surrounded me and powered up there main guns.
i ordered my gunners to fire back we destroyed the first cruiser quickly, the second cruiser was trying to stay close and below us so our Heavy Mortar couldnt hit him. little did he know that our Rail Guns could still tear him to shreads, just before we finished the cruiser off a Order Carrier showed up and engaged, we took care of him within minutes. Corsairs have a good shipyard if they can rebuild there ships so fast.
We got a Nomad scout in New York yesterday, the scanners read it as [color=#6600CC]Keeper.Enki;. I warned the population that it was a defective LN prototype, and that I was going to take it back to our labs.
It was saying weird thigns about Seeking something, and entities. I don't know, I didn't understand all what it said. After a few minutes of interaction, the "thing" started to attack me. I defended myself the best I could, and a lucky mine took it down.
Today we had a visit from Rheinland, 3 Rheinland Bombers which seemed to be following the LNS-Michigan.
The "JetFire" a gunboat from the LSF and the LNS-PuddleJumper engaged the bombers near the Mississippi.
While the gunboats were getting devastated they got a lucky shot and took down 2 of them. The last one retreated heading to the Bering gate.
My patrol route continued to California, where I found one sabre and one barghest attacking the trade lanes which leads to planet Mojave from the New York jump gate, the pirate known as Jarek, and someone called Skyer. Both of them destroyed.
We got a distress call from a trader near the Pennsylvania jump hole, myself and the PuddleJumper went there to check it out. We found him, surrounded by 3 pirate transports, we took one of them down, another fleed with unknown destination, and the last one pursuited the trader, but gladly, the trader escaped from him.
Another liberty gunboat, the ViolentBlade intercepted the fleeing transport in the Cortez system, it was carrying slaves in its hold. After the negotiations failed, and after he refused our proposition to release the slaves at planet Curacao, we ripped its engines, and made a hole in its cargo hold, the LNS-Aurora who came by my call to transport the slaves to Curacao, and the ViolentBlade took the slaves.
Another trader complained for my presence in the Cortez system, while some pirates where causing some kind of troubles in New York. After showing him my gratitude, I went to New York to take care of the intruders.
Which, I found just one in the trade lane to the texas gate. It was a Barguest, which didn't make a lot of resistance. During the fight, a mercenary by the name of Dave.Lombardo tried to attack me. But, he ran from the area really quick, and then Eric.Koehler went down.
So much has happened on this shift, I believe it would be best for all of us if I write this report quickly.
I undocked from Planet Manhattan, to detect both a Nomad and an Outcast ship above the planet (Databox record 1). I went to investigate with several other ships and after a long discussion the Outcast left. We attempted to move the Nomad to Alaska for further study and were making some progress, we got it's cruise engines running. Unfortunately the Outcast (in a Sabre) returned with two more Outcasts, one in an Outcast Gunship, and another (//Joe you are going to love this) in a Bounty Hunter Gunship (Databox record 2).
I instantly began to use all I had learned from my previous experience as an LSF agent. Eventually I managed to make a compromise, in return for them leaving they could take the "spirits" as they called them with them (Databox record 3). They agreed, and I was really hoping that was the last we would of seen of them.
Unfortunately, only seconds after they had left our scanner range did we get a report of them engaging an Order bomber outside of Planet Manhattan (Databox record 4). The Outcasts now promised to leave after they were done destroying the Order ship, and I did not want to start a massive fightfire outside of Planet Manhattan.
The Order bomber was destroyed, and the Outcasts left with the Nomads as agreed.
I then went to California to begin my patrols, and found two pirates on the Mojave - New York gate trade lane, a Liberty Rogue Gunboat and Falcata bomber. I immediately called for backup and stalled until it arrived.
Eventually the pirates decided to take their chances and engage (Databox record 5).
The bomber was quickly destroyed, and the gunboat soon followed in it's path (Databox record 6 and 7).
After this we went to Riverside to restock and repair.
We returned to our patrols and soon an LSF officer requested assistance at Zone 21.
When we arrived he had already been destroyed, and we saw a weird group responsible. A Corsair in a Corsair Gunboat and an Order pilot flying a Werewolf pirate fighter (Databox record 8). The Gunboat was taken down easily, and the fighter quickly followed suit (Databox record 9).
After this we patrolled the Alaska system. As I was returning to the New York jump gate I heard that a massive pirate raid was happening in New York. By the time I arrived it consisted of at least three destroyers, the three pirates from earlier with the Nomads and Order ship, and several other pirate ships, different classes. I entered the scrum, hoping to have the situation dealt with as soon as possible (Databox record 10). Fortunately for us the LNS-Thunderbolt was ready for battle and soon we had the pirate ships destroyed or disabled.
I then returned to Planet Manhattan, specifically my house, to write my report.
I hope to have less days like this, the pure chaos of it all almost gave me a heart attack.

RE: Report
Message Reads:
Sirs, for the moment I have a rather short report to give.
Whilst on patrols in New York I heard of a known Lane Hacker, captaining an Outcast Destroyer, and that he was in the system. I joined Agent Lindi Fox (Sugar) in the search and soon she had a fix on his position, Rochester. Along with him there was also an Outcast Gunship and a Bounty Hunter Orca Gunboat. Just as I arrived the Destroyer, Jarek, gave the order to engage the Gunboat. Agent Fox and I quickly engaged the Outcast Gunship, waiting for battlecruiser support (Databox record 1).
Agent Fox and I were attacking the Outcast Gunship when suddenly Fox's ship burst into flames. I checked for the source of the fire and found it was the Bounty Hunter who had fired the shot (Databox record 2). He immediately apologized, luckily Agent Fox managed to activate her ejection system before the shot had hit her.
The battlecruiser arrived and soon had the Destroyer under control. I continued to engage the Gunship, and eventually, with the Battlecruisers support, we destroyed the Gunship (Databox record 3).
Thats all for now, McCaleb out.

[font=Microsoft Sans Serif]I have recently been noticing the OutcastBattleship known as the Cassus Belli appear in Liberty space quite a bit. Now I don't know who gave it permission to stay in Liberty space (especially since we have a Battleship class Ban on all vessels without authority given from our government), but I was told it was given permission to stay. I'd just like to confirm this. It has on several occasions helped us though, constantly listening to orders as well as giving us information. But its still an outcast, and I'm not really sure what should be done about this.
Transmission; Start
Identification: Commodore Christina Robinson
Location: California system, San Diego Border Station
Regarding this battleship, the Cassus Belli ;
I was not aware that this vessel was given permission to stay within Liberty. Please question the captain of the vessel about his motives, being assertive of our position but not agressive. A confrontation with such a warship is not desirable. Please put your findings here. Also, insist that the captain must drydock his vessel on Norfolk shipyard for two days whilst our technicians inspect the entire ship. A vessel of that size could easily be carrying some heavy ordinance, something that we cannot risk.
However, I have something of a lighter note to say to members of the main arm of the Liberty Navy.
Regarding promotions of various officers ;
In order of rank, the promotions are as follows:
Lieutenant Commander Alexander Casero has become a Commander and now holds the Quartermaster title.
Lieutenant Commander William Darkmoor has become a Commander. The battle for this position was close between Jack Malrone and yourself, but your dedication, and in particular, your Liberty Conventions draft document, won over the high command.
Lieutenant Hank Kapinos has become a Lieutenant Commander.
Lieutenant Ben Dawson has become a Lieutenant Commander. However, this comes under a proviso. Despite your exemplary combat skill, it has been noted by high command that you seem to question orders, at times passively encouraging insubordination. If this problem alleviates itself, you will keep your new position.
Sub-Lieutenant Andrew Dogget has become a Lieutenant.
Sub-Lieutenant Shade Walker has become a Lieutenant.
Sub-Lieutenant Kentaurus Toliman has become a Lieutenant.
There is also a bit of catchup work to be done, and as such, the following promotions have been finalised as listed below:
Ensign Logan Willows has been promoted to Sub-Lieutenant. I will be watching you closely, and if I hear another joke about me or any of my body parts, there will be severe repercussions.
Ensign Tom Preager has been promoted to Sub-Lieutenant.
Congratulations, gentlemen. Enjoy your promotions, but remember, with more power comes more responsibility. We expect great things of all of you, as we have always done.
Connected with this, a few pilots have been put under reserve status for various reasons.
Pending a report frome each of these pilots as to their current status, level of activity within the Liberty Navy and the fulfillment of their duties, which we note is currently not happening, the following pilots have been placed in the reserve list:
David Hastings - Captain
Of note, your responsibility of Quartermaster has been shifted to Commander Casero.
First off, congratulations to all those promoted. It is my hope that you further your illustrious careers and continue to serve Liberty. Now on the the report:
A quiet Liberty suddenly turned chaotic with the usual pirates however an Outcast Battleship held center-stage of all the attention. Exile-Cassus.Belli is the said battleship as LSF Sugar has reported and her captain Jake along with his crew defected from the Outcasts due to disagreements about ******. I do have some guncam shots of the conversation, however in summary, they merely wish to co-exist in Liberty and escape from his once family, the Outcasts. He did say he had numerous intelligence reports along with tactical data that could come in handy against our fight against the Outcasts.
Bretonian correspondant Austin Goodmen, along with LSF Sugar and Deputy Chief Riza Williams were also on scene. During the talks, several pirates including Adam Vorlando and Jack Galahad tried to intervene, however it seems that Mr.Galahad has an interest in whiskey as shown in this guncam footage:
---
Next, Gerald Gallego began attacking our fighters in the New York Jumpgate - Mojave lane in California. I had past Gallego and left him be due to him not doing anything however, he soon fled into the ice fields after his ship was severely damaged.
---
Due to threats in Liberty increasing, I took command of the LNS Lansing, a liberty gunboat to counter the pirates until we picked up a contact which was from Gallia. A Gallic Royal Navy bomber had somehow sneaked into Liberty, however it has been captured and the ship towed to ****** for further research on this new house.
---
Finally, the Lansing responded to a distress call from LPI officer Lauren Myers outside Manhattan orbit along with the Ft.Louisbourg. The threat were several hacker fighters, a rogue bomber and a rogue destroyer later on with names: Brandon, Jarek_70, Rico Terras, RD Stonehenge (Rogue Destroyer). They were taken out with the help of the Manhattan defense grid.
I believe they had also previously destroyed a Navy Gunboat. I managed to land on Manhattan and escaped. Farley.Marley later caimed he was attempting to collect a blanket bounty on Liberty Naval Officers. The other two made no attempt to communicate before or after the attack.
I am unsure if these criminals are previously known to Liberty authorities, but I was shocked by the suddeness and boldness of the attack.
