Detailled Report: Rogue fighter stopped and ordered to leave:
Officer Harris showed up, when I had stopped a Rogue very heavy fighter with callsign "Victor.McBernik" which was suspiciously close to the lane from West Point to Planet Manhattan.
He had liberty personnell in his hold. I ordered him to release the pilots, he complied. The rogue was send back to the Badlands. Officer Harris and me were folliwing the ship to the border of the Badlands. We waited there untill we lost it on our scanners.
At first we wanted to continue a regular patrol at this point. But guess what? Things changed.
Gallic Battleship near Manhattan:
We received a call from a LN ship notifying us about the presence of a gallic battleship. Andre.Victorius, a voluntary LPI joined us to search for it.
On our way to the lane from Fort Bush to Planet Manhattan, I noticed a tridende gunboat with outcast transponder, callsign "Repeater.". We ignored it to continue our search for the battleship.
We found it close to Rochester Base. Callsign: [SR]-Battleship_Dzuyho. Officer Harris requested support by the Navy. Fleet carrier LNS-The.Bald.Eagle arrived a short moment later in response.
The Gallic battleship managed to dock at Rochester base. I believe the Junkers did not agree to this illegal docking attempt. The battleship exploded a few minutes later for unknown reasons.
Scan of the ship is to be found in the attachments.
Arrival of a lane hacker and an outcast destroyer:
The situation got worse, when out of nowhere two hostile destroyers arrived. The LNS-The.Bald.Eagle pulled back to leave the dangerous place.
Callsigns of the destroyers:
[HF]-HFD-Iblis
[HF]-HFD-Abaddon
No scan data available by me, sorry. My ship electronics got damaged in the fight.
At first Officer Harris ordered us to attack one of the destroyers or at least occupy them, untill reinforcements arrive. When the previously mentioned Tridente gunboat joined the fight, we switched targets to fight it off. The fight went suprisingly good. For some odd reasons the outcast ship disappeared close before its destruction. See attachments for a scan of the ship close before its disappearance.
While fighting the gunboat a Scimitar light fighter with freelancer transponder engaged me to my surprise to help the outcast. The ship got destroyed by Officer Harris in a moment, where my ship electronics malfunctioned. Scan of the ship is to be found in the attachments. The destroyers ignored the the repeated help-requests of the gunboat and left scannerrange. We believe they took the jumphole to Colorado, but we have no confirmation, as we don't have any reports about that. Due to the fight, we were not able to chase them.
Following to the fight Officer Harris, Andre Victorious and me conducted a fighter training, including so called "mine spiking". Was a valuable experience to me. Thank you Officer Harris.
