The Ven'Gyr's commanded reported the he and his escort had encounted a group of Navy capitals on what appeared to be maneuver exercises. I was called into assist, by the time I arrived the capitals had already been laid to waste and the Ven'Gyr had fallen back from the operation. The Ven'Gyr and the newly arrived bombers had destroyed the capitals with efficiency and had began their attack on the capitals escorts.
I arrived on scene as the attack on the escorts began, we destroyed several, including an LPI Swat member, a particularly unskilled bounter hunter gunship, an idiotic Mandalorian and yet another USI who seems to think they're a paramilitary organisation.

Alright folks. All I want to say you, that Im tired. Yeah, I know, I wasnt good at it, I failed much times, and I was in my home and drunk milk when you fight with navy boys. Now, when all my skills are lost, I want to rest from nothing. You can find my ships at America base, they are your.

Today, Liberty suffered a catastrophic loss.
While in the midst of a mission into Liberty to spread information among the people, Lt. Curtis Initiate Bennington, and I received word that the Libertonian Dreadnought LNS Epsilon had been sighted within the system by a pair of Lane Hackers. Our fighters, of course, would have been useless against the beast, and as such, I called in and took command of the HFB Incursus for this mission. While Initiate Bennington began a patrol to find out where the LNS Epsilon was, the Incursus moved into position in a secret place near West Point Academy.
Unfortunately, the brave Initiate was found, and was subsequently chased down by no less than two LSF Upholders, a Navy Upholder, an LSF Avenger, the gunboat LNS Furious Absolution, and the LNS Epsilon - a Dreadnought! All this for one little Sabre. I was shocked. A waste of resources indeed! The Initiate retreated into the Badlands, and to our great surprise, the Navy and LSF ships followed him! Thankfully, they broke off, but our relief turned to dismay when we found out that they'd only changed the target of their attacks to Taskmaster Novak of the Vagrant Raiders. Unfortunately, there was little we could do, and the Taskmaster's ship was destroyed.
Eventually, however, with the help of the Lane Hacker Phate, we managed to gather a sizable force to avenge the fallen Taskmaster. Lt. Curtis' shift was over, but Phate proved himself to be invaluable by personally finding the LNS Epsilon and helping set up an ambush for the ship. Its massive numbers of re-enforcements were scattered about New York, searching for the Incursus. There were not where they were most needed.
The Epsilon took damage quickly. Its hull soon began to buckle, and it turned to run. Its escorts began to do their jobs, however. One of Phate's Lane Hackers lost his ship.
With the fall of their leader, our foes began to fall with alarming speed. The Incursus pulled off, as we couldn't risk hitting our own, but we remained idling in the area.
However, one of the Navy fighters, for some reason or another, decided to try riding the Incursus's bow wave. Of course, the Incursus makes no bow wave, as there is neither air nor water in space, and after a short blast from our guns took down his shields, his fighter was cleaved completely in two by the sharp bow of the Incursus.
Oddly, they seemed to think throwing a Battlecruiser at the problem would help. It didn't. At this point the Incursus began once again returning fire to mop up the remaining capital ships.
Gunboats, too, appeared popular, making them popular as a target in our books. Of course, no day would be complete without a bounty hunter making a nuisance of himself and subsequently burning up.
Several more of our foes fell and, eventually, we had finally mopped all the repeating waves of hostiles up. They didn't have the sense to all come at us at once, oddly.
But just as we were leaving, one last wave of bombers appeared from the direction of Norfolk Shipyard. Among them were those who had chased our Initiate down in the first place. The Incursus pulled out - the bombers were too much of a threat - and our men finished this last wave off.
With our job done, the Incursus lead the way to safety at Cochrane Depot on Ontario. Phate hastened our way by hacking into the Jump Gate and holding it open for us. We later learned that a second Battlecruiser had tried to catch us, but had proved far too slow. The Incursus moored with Cochrane, and our job was done.
The Legion performed specatularly, taking down a fleet larger than our, including several capital ships, and coming out of it safely. Of course, it would never have happened without the assistance of Phate and his Lane Hackers, nor without the much-overestimated tactical ability on the Libertonians. Sending their ships in a few at a time for us to pick off? Our job could not have been easier.
-PreSkirmish-
Under command of Avalon, we proceeded to group up hoping to fry some fish. Avalon was in California at
time, as i was at Mactan. We proceeded to coordinates 5D. Some chatter stirred up on public comms,
nothing but usual blasphemy from the LN. Once ''Negotiations'' were completed, I formed on Avalons
wing, and we headed for Planet Mojave. Scanners picked up hostiles approximately 10K away from our
position while we were en route to Mojave. I picked up 4 hostiles, 1 whom did not participate in the skirmish
shortly afterwards.
-AgressiveNegotiations-
We cruised past Mojave, wanting to avoid 5 hostiles. Unfortunately a cruise disruptor hit us and we had to
enter battle formation. Our tactic was to take down LPI at the time, who was the biggest threat.
We engaged straight away after the CD, Fireing a volley of Neutron lasers, Avalon was the center of
attention, and couldnt last for long. Avalon was struck, and the Gunship disabled was a sitting target.
It was destroyed quickly after, Luckily Captain of the Avalon made it into my hull in his pod.
-HonourableIntentions-
I engaged my thrusters straight away, headed for the nearby Sierra IceField. I was being pursued.
I decided to risk the safety of my captain, and perform a ''Z-Maneuver'' and engaged the LPI pilot
who was on my tail. He was offguard when i did this stunt, and got a few shots into his shield, and a few
into his hull. When the other 2 hostiles arrived, they did not engage me. They were so sure of LPI's
skills, they allowed him to duel me. I myself, didnt have the time to notice, too busy embedding
lasers into his shields.
-NegotiationsEnded-
A solid 5 minutes it took to finally take down the LPI pilot, The moment his ship blew, I knew i had to get
out of there, Fast. I successfully got away with the Avalons captain in my hull, And set course to Mactan.

Sir? Are you ser- I mean... Yes, Sir, I do. Thank you very much, Sir.
W-... ah.. right. I have an encounter - or a series of encounters - to report. Again, the Legion prevails.
We learned that several Libertonian capital ships were sitting around just waiting to be ambushed, and ambush them we did. While we never did find the LNS Epsilon, the RCMP Kitchener (what does RCMP stand for, anywas? Royal Coward Murdering via Poison?) attacked one of our men in California, but later fled to New York via the jump gate. This was intentional; the Battlecruiser fell right into our trap, arriving at the jump gate in New York just as our re-enforcements, including myself, did. The Legion offered the captain a chance to surrender. He refused, and thus the fate of the Kitchener was sealed.
We quickly moved away from the scene and headed toward Buffalo Base. We couldn't risk enemy re-enforcements arriving.
When we arrived at the base, however, we met several of our allies from the Vagrant Raiders. We soon learned that they'd been attacked by a mercenary in Magellan with little warning. With a bit more probing and questioning of our various allies, we discovered that this wasn't the only attack: The mercenary, one Johnny Blaze, had later attacked the Liberty Rogues as well, and was generally coming down the line towards New York causing problems and helping the Libertonian military. This had to be stopped before more men were lost... and stopped it was.
At this point, we were hearing reports of massive numbers of Navy ships scattered throughout the system, as well as mercenaries doing their bidding. We decided our next stop would be Fort Bush. It was a good choice. The moment we arrived, we were attacked by a Navy fighter. <strike>Initiate</strike> Lieutenant Bennington fought against it as we planned our next move. The duel was over in moments; the Lieutenant had performed outstandingly, and the Avenger was but wreckage.
We noted a gunboat sitting just over the Fort, its captain presumably scanning passing civilians. Of course, he wasn't willing to just let us go. We offered him a chance to surrender as well, informing him that he and his crew would be freed unharmed. He declined, and along with a passing police officer, engaged our forces. His loss.
We chose to move quickly away from the Fort, as the Navy was openly preparing for a counterattack. We spent quite some time flying around New York confusing them. They seemed to think we were still at Fort Bush when we were destroying military depots orbiting Manhattan, and that we were on the dark side of Pittsburgh when we were making our bombing runs against the Missouri. The Missouri sent out a distress call, of course, but we were gone by the time help arrived. We eventually caught several mercenaries in the employ of the Navy in orbit of Manhattan, while multiple Navy ships were inbound. We quickly began to mop up the filth.
Unfortunately, their backup arrived all too soon. The LNS Cape Horn, backed up by three competent pilots, began tearing holes in our ranks. My bomber was lost, and we hastily retreated. Our job was done.
With a combined alliance of Outcast, Rogue, and Hacker alike, we had created a force to be reckoned with!
From entering near the Manhatten area we found several hostiles, mostly consisting of Navy. We waited a good long ten minutes before the Navy attacked and we began our assault. We consisted of 8 targets, and the Navy consisted of 13. within 5 minutes into the battle the Battleship SLICE, had been removed.
Within Seconds later we had removed their gunboat support.
From there the Battle raged on for a good solid 30Minutes, with losses on our side equally matching losses on theirs. Still outnumbered we fought on.
Unfortuantly, in the end i was the only man left, and could not hold out against the 3 enemys left.
But i hold the heads high, of those Navy pilots that i claimed.
For our small force compared to there larger force this mission was a failure.
But in the hearts of those who took place and those who fell, in our hearts we won!
They know we will be back!
I was targeted above the New York sun, by a Bounty Hunter Orca, and a Cryer, in proposition to a bounty supposbly placed on my head. With the help from a hacker by the Name of Phate:::, this duo of doomed enemys met a quick defeat within 10minutes prior to engagement.
One thing is for sure, they will never Interfear with HF again!
