Today was an incredible day for the liberty lawdogs. Definately the busiest and noisiest for the past week. For me it all started when I joined with sergeant Maggard. NY was clean so we headed for Texas to perform border patrols and enforce the embargo. Had the usual headaches with traders but it was alright until we came across a smuggler. He was carrying 1000 units of cardamine. We stopped him and put our ultimatum - he was to drop the contraband and pay a fine of 2 000 000 credits or face destruction and arrest. After a prolonged silence, the trader started to run. A few seconds after the ship was destroyed and the smuggler arrested:
After this event we had a couple of encounters with a trader who ignored our orders to stop and got away twice. We decided that such behaviour will not be tolerated, so we proceeded to ambush the returning trader at the Bering gate. He was quite surprised when he saw us face to face and stopped. We enforced a tax on him - 4 million for disobeying orders multiple times and smuggling goods out of Liberty to Rheinland. He decided to ignore us for the third time and run which was his last mistake. His ship was destroyed and the pilot transported to Sugarland.
Note that the goods from the two traders were confiscated, sold and the profits relayed to Rikers.
Me and the sergeant were contacted by an LSF agent requesting our assistance in NY. Upon our arrival we noticed that NY was swarmed with pirates and terrorists. All we had as reinforcements were 2 LSF agents and 2 LPI officers (us). After sending a destress call to the navy comms and having no responce, we gathered what help we could find and marched forward to battle (indies joined the group). The intense fight took place at no more than 15,000 meters from Manhattan. I suspect the overwhelming pirate and hostile activity was provked by the presense of the Bretonian ambassador aboard a Bretonian Capital ship. Having in mind the situation, all traders and non military personnel were advised to leave the system for their own safety. The battle began and it went for long time. We were facing all kinds of craft varying from Sabre's to Falcatas both missile spamming and gun oriented. Soon the fight took its first victim - the rogue vessel Alpha1. Shortly the pirate vessel Jarek_70 followed. Shortly after another hostile vessel bent under our combined efforts - Razgriz-1, followed by DJ.Gerbiamas. The nearby xeno, who was last to be alive, after seeing that he stands no chance, engaged his cruise engines and disappeared.
After this tiresome fight ended, we recieved an SOS call from the Ambassador's ship - he was under attack by mercs. Our strike force, consisting of [LN]-Jake.Ryan, LNS-Ithaca, LPI-Aiden.Maggard[S] and me, after quick rearming and refueling at WP headed for California to assist our allies. We came found the Ambassador's ship under heavy and constant bombarding by 2 merc vessels. We engaged in another long lasting fight trying to save the diplomat's life. He was told to make a run for it while our forces were diverting the enemy's attention and he did. The enemy fire now targeted our BC - Ithaca. On top of that another hacker Gunship appeared and opened fire on our cruiser. Soon the first of the two mercs-K.Mihawk was annihilated. The second one, by the name of Bellerophon-B realizing he has no chance began to run and evade us. A minute later he was left with no bats/bots with 0.1% hull. Thanks to his very good evasion skills, he managed to elude us all the way to California Minor where he finally found his death. The Hacker Gunship realized he was left alone with closing in navy and lpi ships, not to mention the assault battlecruiser, cruised away and left scanner range.
After another successful fight, me and Sarge Aidan returned to NY just to find ourselves in the middle of hostile ships...again. This time there were several outcast ships tagged *| , A hacker vessel and a hacker gunship.
Firstly we gathered our forces at plant Manhattan to see the Exiled.Warewolf hacker incoming. He was destroyed by the Bounty hunter who joined our group. We proceeded to find our next target - *|Kepejas. LSF agent Internity requested that he fought the outcast alone so we did not interfere until a hacker gunship by the name of Neprotauju appeared. Our forces attacked the vessel and destroyed it rather quickly. Internity also managed to disable and arrest his target. Upon the destruction of the gunship, I recieved a distress call from a navy capital ship requesting assistance near WP. I alerted our forces and we proceeded to help the man who was under heavy attack by outcast vessels. We engaged and soon after we took our first victim - the outcast *|Blogis. His assisting hostile vessels were destroyed aswell. Unfiortunately the Maine - the battlecruiser we went to help suffered irreversable damage and the crew had to evacuate. They were safely transported to WP for medical assistance.
After this fight me, Sergeant Williams and officer Masket headed out to patrol Texas. After turning a couple of traders around for violating the embargo, we came across the pirate ship Jarek_70 again. After seen so much fights and death today, the hunt for the pirate felt like a soft summer breeze. After about 5 minutes, the pirate was arrested.
With this event my shift ended. I want to recognise the excelent skills and team work of all the agents and officers involved in today's events.Our fighter wing suffered no casualties at all whilst the hostile vessels were completely destroyed. Very Good work, gentlemen.
End of report.

I would like to echo those sentiments. This was an incredible showing of what the LPI is capable of now and in the future. For those who fought for freedom and the LPI today, WITHOUT THE LOSS OF A SHIP, I say Bravo Zulu. I will be watching your careers with great interest.
The LPI isn't just a couple of people , it is all of us, working as a team. I am seeing more and more of this and I wish to encourage it.
