Flew back from New Hampshire after a loooong patrol. No hostiles spotted, but a Rhienlander was in Texas. He was working for the IMG, and wasn't breaking the Embargo, so I let him be.
I'm requesting to hand in my 3 EXCALIBURS for codenamed weapons that work slightly better with my Debilitators... If needs be I'll contact my old friend Malarlo.

SUBJECT: The war with Rheinland.
Salutations.
Today, several Rheinland Military Pilots breached through the Bering front-line into the Texas-system by using a jumphole. Fortunately their comms were intercepted and we managed to assemble a defensive position in time right outside Planet Houston.
Vice Admiral Ryan MacTavish was in command, and rightfully so, he would prove to be a great tactician during todays battle. The forces were gathered and with the given signal by the Vice Admiral we engaged our cruise-engines and headed towards the enemy.
The enemy side were approximately six to eight in numbers against equal amount of pilots on our side, making skill, tactics and courage all vital to achieve victory. The first target, a Rheinland Bomber was destroyed by myself but I received heavy assistance from several allied pilots during the process. Due to this small event I was hounded by several Rheinland Military Fighters, trying to pry through my hull with their blasters. They were without doubt great Pilots and managed to cause several times critical damage to my ship, however, Lieutenant Commander Alexander Casero spotted my problem and transported much-needed nanobots over to my ship. Grateful for the kind gesture, he only responded with: "Else I would have felt the wrath of Sarah Willows". A short burst of laughter spread across our comms but was quickly silenced due to the serious situation at hand.
A few moments later, Commodore Sarah Willows managed to destroy one enemy fighter with a nuclear mine and another one with her blasters. Due to these positive turn of events, we were on the offensive and exploited that position very well. However, the Rheinland Pilots had a strong will, and were not the ones to give up. Such attitude I find admirable to say the least, but in war, personal matters must be put aside.
More blaster-shots were exchanged from both sides, volleys after volleys came raining in. But our side was keeping one step ahead of the enemy, and after enough Rheinland men had died, the remaining decided to retreat. It was however, nothing cowardly about it, rather a tactical move on their side, and although we tried to destroy the Pilots who were retreating, they managed with exceptional flight-movements dodge our attacks and reach the jumphole in time.
Nevertheless, with no allied casualties, I can safely say that this was a decisive victory! I'm proud to serve the Liberty Navy and fight side-by-side with my comrades!
Evening Commanders. Plenty to include in this report since its been such a busy few days. Gonna separate this transmission into sections, just to help the organisation of it. Theres going to be a lot to reflect upon.
Obtaining my Navy Guard ID and full rep with the guards generals:
As the category explains, its exactly what it says on the tin.
Anthony Black, a known Lane Hacker to me was sighted in the New York system. I have engaged him several times before on other occasions in different systems so I thought I'd destroy him here too.
Another destruction of a Lane Hacker in the New York system. Enemies of the Liberty Navy seem to be abundant in New York at the time I was patrolling. I wonder how they all got in. Well, with bounty hunter collaboration and a few shots from my weapon he was quickly disposed of.
Myself, Ensign Tom Preager and Captain Malaign engaged several Xenos roaming the debris fields surrounding Manhattan. Xenos call signs were "Jack Williams" and "Ahill". I can't clearly remember their ship types but I'm sure they were both ROC Civilian Class bombers, however I maybe wrong. They were quickly disposed of however.
Upon hearing several Nomad transmissions over the comm, myself and the LNS-Thunderbolt who is currently under command of Captain McKenzie rushed to Alaska in an attempt to find the thing and eliminate it. Sadly, the Alaska gate was pretty much empty.
Upon entering Alaska we performed a partial sweep of the surrouding area. It wasn't long before an unauthorized ship was detected. The Thunderbolts scanners read its logistics and found it was an Order Gunboat named "Robin". We moved straight to the Omnicron Minor jump hole in order to intercept its course. We were indeed lucky and it came upon our course, we established the target and rammed several melting plasma shots into its hull, only to be deflected by powerful shields. My gun cams malfunctioned at the time from increased heat signatures from the plasma, I'm sorry. Afterward the Thunderbolt docked at Fairbanks for repairs as I made my way out of the system.
Cartel activity in the New York and Liberty systems has been ever increasing lately. I was assigned to a team of other fighters and bombers to deal with the threat. I'm pretty sure my gun cam shots can explain the scene and situation of the fight. The Cartel fleet seemed to be composed of large numbers of bombers and little fighters.
Again, increasing activity of Cartel in the Liberty systems, myself and Casero along with a fellow LSF pilot were pitted against roughly two or three Cartel members and an Outcast Gunship piloted by "The Dead Runner". The LSF pilot quickly went down when we were ambushed by the Cartel pilots, luckily his ejector seat was operational. The fight between us and the Cartel raged on for a good ten or twenty minutes before Casero went down. Luckily a passing Freelancer in the area who's name is disclosed until I can remember it was passing through the lane. I was ordered to escape the situation by Casero and that Freelancer bought me some good time to get my ass out of there.
Interesting one this fight. Myself, Malaign and Tolman were pitted against a Rogue who was taxing passing pilots through the Mojave to New York Jump gate trade lane. Libety does not tolerate piracy and so quickly we engaged the rogue. During the fight however a Liberty Gunboat came to our aid, the only problem was..It wasn't any navy registered ship. Captain Malaign instantly ordered that the gunboat which was named "Sgt York" to leave the area at once. After disobeying this order Malaign instructed the gunboat that it would be detained and arrested. The funny thing is, it didn't flee after being fire at but instead...One of its stray shots smacked the Rogues hull with an immense force. The Rogues ship, turned to heated scrap metal, instantly.
That concludes my report for several days action. A new report will be recorded and transmitted in some time to come. Enjoy your evening command. John Tyin, out.

Greetings Commanders, i'll get straight to the point.
The first call came from Agent Johny Leroy, while i was regularly patrolling New York, his comm lne was sent to urgent, so i immediatly took it, turns out that one of the liberty long range scanning stations picked out a Rheinland Battleship near the Hudson Jump Gate, a private comm line was made consisting of myself, agent leroy, Deputy Of Homeland Security, agent Telemac, and another agent named Bob Sisko, we rapidly grouped up at the battship Misissipi, the rheinland battleship, callsigned ''Seute Dern'' was reported jumping back to Hudson, without losing any time, we went to the jump gate, seeing no hostiles nearby, we jumped. Once the jump was complete, the Seute Dern was right in front of us, entering one of the lanes, he was in front of us, but once the lane had come to an end, we caught up, firing a barrage of Train Cruise Disrupters at him, and disrupting the lane to the hamburg Jump gate, we engaged, our ships were all bombers, so we didnt have much difficultcy de-activating its sheilds, but it was still hard to significantly damage its hull, here is a picture from my guncam,
After a few hits, it activated its cruise engines to get away, him having opening the range, we couldnt fire a Cruise Disruptor to stop him, Agent Leroy tracked him down from the trade lane, and fired several cruise disruptors at his flank, we had de-activated his cruise. We immediatly re-engaged it all the was to the hamburg gate, he had used his cruise engines several times, but couldnt escape until he got to the gate, the seute dern then jumped into hamburg, we followed. Once our jump was completed, we disrupted the lanes, and immediatly re-engaged the BS,after a while, when we were half down the lane battling, the Seute Dern was heavily damaged, another camera shot of my guncam,
A while later, he again activated his cruise and opened the range, I used one of the lanes to reach to him and fired a few Cruise Disruptors, his cruise again disrupted, we continued with the bombing, myself and the agents soon realized that we were heading for a stationary rheinland battleship, only a few k. away, but we had severely damaged him,
A few minutes later we were very close to the stationary battleship and it started firing on us, knowing we didnt have much time, we started firing out SNACs at the same time, after taking several direct hits, the Seute Dern was right near the other battleship, with a final SNAC shot, his main reactor took a direct hit, and started to rip apart the ship from the inside,
I sadly have no images of the wreck of the Seute Dern, because of the increasing enemies. After the destruction of the battleship, we turned back and headed home

*Salutes* Greetings members of the Liberty Navy high command. As I docked with west point yesterday I noticed that I have logged in the neccesary flight hours in an Executioner to become promoted to an Ensign.
With your permission, sirs, I would like to take on this new responsiblilty and become more competant in protecting Liberty. While a guardian would aid me alot in accomplishing this, I know that it is the experiance of a pilot that dictates his ability to presearve and protect the people of Liberty.

Captain Redline here.
Today I picked up some strange chatter on the comms. something about a ship uploading data from Norfolk. I went to invastigate. I found an enormous battleship floating above norfolk. It was a Hacker Spyglass battleship named "Libertine".
Realising that I couldn`t take this thing on alone I requested backup over open comms. typically, no one responded. seems there was a birthday party going on at Norfolk. If I get my hands on the moron who abandoned his communications post I will cut off his testicles and feed them to my cat.
without backup I was, to use navy jargon, screwed. to brighten my already beautifull day, the battleship opened fire on me. I pulled some evasive manouvers and gave it a mouthfull of Melting Ray. How dissapointed i was that it only did so much damage on the shield.
deciding that discration was the better part of valor, I ordered a strategic redeployment of forces. or to put it simply, I ran like a little girl.
The battleship left as soon as its commander realised they couldn`t hit my nimble cruiser.
I ordered a persuit to see where this collossus was headed. but then the cruise engine decided to break down. I have never sworn so much in so little time.
we lost the battleship, no backup was available, and I nearly strangled my helm.
I`m going to bed now. I pity the person who tries to wake me before 12.00 pm tomorrow.
Today, I was assigned to Ensign Rachel Baker for a New York full-sweep patrol. Starting our patrol from the Norfolk shipyard, we didn't even managed to reach a Trade-Lane before a hostile Rogue Gunboat was spotted cruising towards our direction. I pursued and intercepted the enemy while Ensign Baker was calling Commander Galen Anderson for backup. With the combined firepower from the three of us, we managed to swiftly neutralize the target before it reached safe grounds. The chase ended up near the Fort Bush vicinity where an unexpected event, to say the least, occurred with one of the LNS Battlecruisers. This incident will be reported separately and thus I won't include any information regarding the event here.
Our patrol continued to the West Point Academy where we spotted two Lane Hackers causing commerce shutdown. As our team arrived, both hostiles decided to retreat and we aborted the chase once they reached the Badlands. However, you crush one bug and two more will replace him, one Outcast and surprisingly one Junker were firing upon Commander Anderson near one of the trade-lanes which connected West Point to Planet Manhattan. I immediately moved to the scene and managed to destroy the Outcast Bomber Pilot which caused the Junker to retreat to the badlands.
