Subject: Patrol Report. [REPORT]
Myself and Officer Calfwalk were on a patrol mission around New York. We were standing by at Planet Manhattan when we spotted a suspicious IFF on our scanners. We started approaching the vessel which happened to be at the other side of Manhattan. The suspect was occupied with something when they* saw us. Their vessel was dangerously close to the planet atmosphere.**
As soon as we approached, the suspected vessel started moving away into the closest scrap field.. After a rather short chase, having launched a few cruise disruptors at him, we finally managed to catch up and stop him. The scan revealed multiple pieces of forbidden equipment along with armed forces and firearms in the ship's cargo bay as well as a Kempeitai ID.

x160 Light Arms
x50 Criminals
x30 Trade Lane Parts
x4 Jump Gate Parts
x1 Kempeitai ID
We asked the operator of the vessel a few questions, however they did not respond, but state that the details of their mission are classified. Me and Calfwalk tried to prolong the conversation, but the suspect kept answering our questions the same way. After that conversation, the operator ejected the armed personnel they carried and disposed of it via firing their weapons at it. After doing so, they proceeded to slowly move away from us. We followed..
We approached the vessel and disrupted its engines once again. We warned them about the consequences of malcompliance, but they responded the same way as earlier. We had no choice other than to engage.
After a short fight, the vessel was taken down.. All illegal equipment has been transported back to Manhattan for further investigation. [REPORT OVER]
*There was only one suspect, however it was most likely not a human.
**The cargo scan revealed that the vessel was carrying two-hundred units of armed Marines. The suspect was most likely injecting them onto the planet for combat operations. This is unconfirmed, however I suggest informing Liberty Security Force.
