First thing - a short report.
I've taken White Sands and Black Rock for some action today. Sands took some cargo runs while Rock scored two traders. Bretonian and Kusarian.
In the meantime, Bobbi, Malcolm and our old vet - Black Rat got into some fights. Malcolm shot down a LSF spy. Congrats, man. Nice flight.
Second issue - after some discussion in our leadership, it has been decided to award some of you for the sunday action.
So...
Bobbi, for risking your life while succesfully destroying a navy Guardian, you have been awarded the Warrior of New York medal.
For your overally superb performance, you have also been promoted to Juvenile. Keep up the great work. Fierceful as a tiger, you should be now known as Tiger.
Ava, for contribution in destroying two enemy gunboats and for many other fights where you showed us your skills in anti-cap combat, you have been awarded the Cap Killer cross. Keep your SNAC hot!
Rick, for your exceptional show with the battlecruiser as well as further GB engagement, you have also been awarded the Cap Killer cross.
Bock, for your heroic attack on said LABC when flying a tiny light fighter, as well as many other similar acts of bravery, you have been awarded the Xeno Badge.
You all did great job. I hope to see more such kills.

We're commencing two new operations.
First one is focusing on our well known enemy: LNS
As you know, they're giving us hard time. Fighting off their capital ships is pain in... under tail... and it costs us too many destroyed ships. If we can't kill them, we'll starve 'em to death.
We will block entrances to Virginia - to their repair shipyards. We've calculated that destroying 35k of supplies meant to be delivered to Virginia bases, will severly lower LNS's ability to repair their capships.
This operation will be led by Rattler. Assist her in any way she requests during this operation.
You can find more specific information about this operation [HERE]
Second operation is an intel one. We need to gather more info on traders moving through Colorado.
This is a task mainly for our light fighter pilots.
More details can be accessed [HERE]

Yesterday me and my budd's, by order of our Boss went along with him in an operation to neutralize and prevent the spread of corruption in Liberty. We moved across Colorado, New York and California systems, and we noticed that some "blurry actions working around."
There were some foreign traders who probably knowingly or not knowingly working for the corrupt government and police... of course, we didn't want to allow a such things, so we decided to *re-examine* situation a little bit. I've had to intervene on a "not really nice way for them..." Some LSF spies and young Navy boys tried to help them but they failed as usual. After that we decided to see what is happening around West Point in New York system. There, one Junker known as Pedro tried to kill me with his Pedro's Space Truck annoying *can* of ship, but at that moment I got the help of our brave pilots and we have successfully destroyed him. Then appeared a *Liberty Puppets* -36th- and there was begun the massive battle between them and us, while one Reaver watched it from its cockpit. I've managed to neutralize one of them, name: Cassie Hall. Later, the battle was out of control and unfortunately I had to withdraw. I've received information that some of our ships were destroyed, but also all our pilots were survived fortunately. We cleaned up a huge mess there and I hope they will learn that isn't good way for them to messing with our requirements.

Me and Bobbi got for some more intel gathering. However, we've only been able to stop one ship.
In the meantime, we've got attacked by navy LABC. After a short fight, he jumped to NY.
Intel:
- ZBT, Zoner, 4k of basic alloy and 150 Industrial materials., moving to Pueblo.
After Bobbi had to dock for mantainance, I got to NY and found that LABC that attacked us before.
I destroyed it and it's escort. Unfortunately, I got into blast of the last nova salvo that killed the escort and had to eject.

Rattler, reporting in.
Bobbi and I were planning on getting some intel on Virginia, start up the blockade plans, but I took off before her. I took off in my fighter, and saw a salvage frigate not far outside Ouray, just a freelancer. Not being able to do much, I told him to get out, and he did. I then headed to the New York gate, hoping to catch something while I was waiting. I was rewarded with a whale passing through, said his cargo, Boron, was headed to Honshu. At first he refused to drop it, but after I took down his shields, he started thinking and complied. Bobbi jumped in after this, and a LSC appeared at the NY gate. I said I would run back to Ouray and hop in a bomber, but at Ouray, I found a rogue Scylla. After hopping in a bomber and going after the Scylla instead, we chased it to Rochester where it docked. As we were about to leave, a Junker showed up, and we didn't pass up the chance to take care of him.
A Lane Hacker gunship also showed up, but the Hacker decided it would hide on Rochester as well. We finally started heading towards California, to look for the Virginia entrance there. After finding it, Bobbi took info on the location and will be reporting it soon. We then headed for Texas, and had much less looking to do as the huge minefield was a hint. Bobbi again took info on the location, getting pretty close to the defenses to do so. Both of us went into New York after that, searching for a bit more action. It was quiet at first, but we found a LSF LABC and a freelancer bomber there. I went after the LABC, and Bobbi went for the bomber, as it decided to help the LSF officer. I managed to hit the LABC with several novas, but was separated from Bobbi and it cruised away. Bobbi did get the bomber, scoring another kill. A rogue had appeared afterward, and Bobbi went after him. That fight didn't go as well, and she went down. I grabbed her pod and ran, but a pesky Navy officer decided to follow. After awhile, I shook him, and proceeded to Ouray ready to call it a day, but the Navy found me again, and thought it would be a good use of time to chase me all the way to Ouray. I did make it though, and docked safely. All in all, I'd say it was successful. Bobbi helped me quite a bit through it all, she's a good pilot. That's all for now.

I'm along with some of our pilots went on patrol, starting from our Ouray base in Colorado System.
Suddenly it appeared an Lane Hacker GB and we decided to intercept him. While running away from us in the direction New York Jump Gate, there we met with the Navy guards who operated the Liberty Assault Battlecruiser name: Lt. John Twitter. I asked him as purely informative, what is happening?!
He answered me just... -stay out of trouble-. I asked him again, -where is the trouble- considering that I don't see it...nowhere?! He repeated it again -stay out of trouble- and opened fire on me, hmm very clever ha!
Well, I got the assistance by or brave pilots and we started to defend ourselves. There appeared another LABC name: Lincoln who just started to shoot at us. Smart metalheads ha! They got *help* by an Liberty Dreadnought name: Freedom. Well... a couple of us were in the bombers, well, precisely 3 and 2 very heavy fighters. I'm not sure. We have successfully held them a lesson, and thanks to their aggressiveness we've destroyed their large ships. ha! At the end but not... end, I stayed to fight with two Liberty lawful pilots. One of them was James Lambert a Navy pilot, while the other one was... SFC|Mardy Stones or whatever his name is. They tried to take me down, but they failed fortunately. I managed to blow up James Executioner heavy fighter ship into pieces. But at the end my visibly damaged bomber was no longer able to survive the fight and I've had to withdraw from a fighting. I was successfully pulled out of all this mess and i hope that our mechanics will repair my bomber soon.
I must commend one of our young pilot name: Iustitia who operated its bomber and who bravely fought the whole time with us.

Lancehead went to patrol in Colorado system around Ouray base to Ontario JH.
I've joined him a bit later and then I got information from him that there are some Kusari ships and an pirate.
We started to investigate it better, but close to Ontario Jump Hole they have managed to escape.
Unfortunately we have not managed to catch up with them. After that we set off the route to Kepler Jump Hole. We were intercepted by an Liberty Assault BattleCcruiser name: Santafe. We were on standby... but suddenly LABC started to shoot us and unfortunately for the Lancehead, LABC Captain has destroyed his ship. Lancehead managed to expel his capsule, which I successfully drew in my cargo hold. He was saved.
I had to try to neutralize the LABC with my bomber, but he got assist by a Liberty Gunboat name: navy-Wolf and one Guardian VHF, name: Revolution21 navy pilot. They started inexorably to pelt me with their lasers, but finally I managed to destroy the annoying Gunboat pilot. Finally I got the help of our two young pilots names: Iustitita and Numark and then we opened fire on Liberty Assault Battlecruiser. Finally we managed to destroy this "brave" Navy Captain. He got what he deserved.
After that, I haven't had time to think much and I've transported Lancehead into the hospital, but luckily he wasn't seriously injured, which is great news.

:::XENO ALLIANCE AUTOMATED REPORTING SYSTEM:::
:::Comms ID: Bobbi St. James:::
:::Establishing data channel... done:::
Mission objectives:
Primary: Map Jump hole anomolies in California where reports of Liberty Navy ships moving to and from as a rumored possible link to Virginia system.
Secondary: Scout and patrol Texas system and attempt to ascertain the reported jump gate to Virginia system located there.
Tertiary: Engage and destroy hostile contacts that interfere with the mission objectives.
Mission Personnel: Bobbi St. James (Light Fighter, Surveyor craft for the mapping) and Rattler as mission lead and support
:::Report:::
All objectives were completed successfully. The light surveyor craft performed the scan and mapping mission far better than expected, including dodging enemy fire from a battleship in Texas while finding a route through the mine field there. Getting back out from the mine field was more difficult as the battlehip had apparently zeroed in on my location but the ship handles exceptionally well and I made it through unscathed. In California we met no opposition and found the jump hole anomoly within the area previous scans had suggested. Immediately upon completion of the scans the data was transmitted by secure link to our headquarters in Alabama.En route to California while in New York we found a Junker in a Collector class VHF. I was able to engage and destroy him before he could put out a call for help. Shortly thereafter, a LaneHacker Gunship appeared on scanners but docked on Rochester to avoid combat. On the return to Colorado we were surprised to see that LPI is packing bigger hardware. The LPI agent we ran across was in an LABC battlecruiser. Still, the LPI acted typically and called for support against my light fighter before Rattler had appeared on our scanners. Rattler engaged the cattlebruiser while I took on the Cutlass. Immediately afterward I was engaged by a Liberty Rogue fighter, which badly damaged a wing. With two guns down and maneuvering sluggish, the rogue got me. I ejected in time and Rattler was able to transit my escape pod back to Ouray.

Thanks for the ride, Venom.
As you all can see, I'm in pretty good shape.
Venom, for all those caps you got, you just earned yourself a shiny bit of metal.
Bobbi, Rattler, great work on that recon. We need to start that blockade. LNS is already biting our butts.
Kill the transport supplying Virginia or Venom will take all the medals we have hehehe
