Five Xenos engaged in California. Three eagles, one Taiidan Bomber, one Rogue Gunboat. The LNS Ironclad and the LNS Corregidor were engaged outside Planet Los Angeles. The Corregidor was heavily damaged taking heavy fire from all enemies (one death).
Being significantly outnumbered, the Ironclad saw fit to retreat to safe ground. Evading the Cruise Disruptors, the Ironclad led the pursuers across California towards the Virginia jumphole. The Xenos saw through this tactic and had the bomber ready at the jumphole. He, however, jumped first, and left the New York jumpgate completely open. The Ironclad retreated to New York for minor repairs on West Point.
Overall, we got jumped and outgunned by the Xenos today. We will do the same at any opportunity.

Officers are free to leave whenever they choose, Mr. Fiery. And for the record, it was a retreat to fight another day. If you had read the manual, running from being outgunned is an acceptable and sensible practise, would you not agree? And the best placed to run to would be safe ground, is it not?
Now, how about we discuss how you know about this engagment before the battle report was issued? I should have your background rechecked. I don't like it when people enter the SA secretly, under the radar, if you catch my drift.
Thank you for granting me my request. Know that I shall not let you down and will continue to server with loyalty and determination. Thank you once again.
-requesting permission to KoS smugglers... (they keep complaining that that against server rules... i'd frag them but my ship is still waiting for name change... awaiting commands, please advise...)
Smugglers are Tryst and Aethier (again)... and Bs|Lancer-T ... cardamine light arms run...
Permission granted. Known smugglers are known criminals. Eliminate with extreme predjudice!!

((If it is tagged and ID's navy, it should be fine. Otherwise, switch to the Dallas. Get a screenshot of them carrying Cardamine, then frag them when you see them (only once). You can frag them more if they continue to smuggle when 'dead'))
I wanted to express my gratitude for being accepted into Southern Alliance.
I certainly hope that my service will be of value and my loyalty is and will remain unquestioned.
Special thanks to [SA]-Milrick and Greg for the help in introducing and establishing my pilot to SA.
Liberty is safe once more thanks to Admiral Harrisson and myself and a special thanks goes out to Ensign Magnum who went above and beyond the call of duty on his first mission (doing better than me if i recall my first mission was a fiasco.) The terrorist or pirates (whate ever people call em they all go to jail) in question were Prospector, Karthatic, and were all located and destroyed on a battlefield that range from california,ontario and Colorado the fighting was fierce but thanks to constant resupplies by the Ironclad the Southern Alliance came out on top. As usual I'm the unlucky one i was missing 2 wings and 3 guns and my CM dropper boy did that cost a pretty penny. Zepphos downed prospector and i downed Karthatic. 2 kills total went to admiral Harrisson. Also inside texas during the time of this battle the LNS washington fought a grueling duel to the death with rogue61 and recoved beaten soldiers such as gunboat captains and other ranking officers. All things considered this was a great day for the Alliance.
Begin Transmission Status Report
To: SA Officers
From: Lieutenant Ana Jane
The situation in Texas is deteriorating. Many reports have arrived of devastating Rogue activities. Pilot Didanetliyvedi of the Rogue faction attempted at least two devastating runs, destroying dozens of navy ships including one Battleship Dreadnought Class.
Ensign Magnum who recently joined the Alliance, showed extreme courage and heroism when attacking an enemy player. He assisted me in the kill in a significant way.
A scout run was performed to Omicron Minor gathering intelligence on opposing factions. No encounters during the run except some Order resistance.
Lastly, an encounter with Cathartic finished unfortunately by the downing of my fighter which suffered moderate damage. Although he left the battle as a winner, the moment was such of no other Alliance presence in the system.
Nothing further to report.
Continuing patrol of Planet Houston and training.
