SUBJECT: Nomad Vagrant presence in the New York system
ENCRYPTION: HIGH
PRIORITY: HIGH
This is Captain Edmund Mallory of the naval training ship LNS Sierra Nevada.
At 1621 hours SMT, our scanners again picked up a Nomad signature near Fort Bush and Baltimore Shipyard. The readouts indicated that it may have been the same vessel that we encountered two days ago (Vagrant.Aun'el). The Nomad rapidly approached the Sierra Nevada and the stations, seemingly trying to communicate with my bridge crew and me. I transmitted a warning to stay clear of the stations and had our weapon systems warmed up. The warning, however, was ignored.
Instead, it seemed to... transmit some sort of vision at us. It affected both myself and the rest of the officers on the bridge at the time. Images of some sort of alien city and other... structures that I can't exactly describe. It was also making my crew feel strangely calm and friendly towards the Nomad. I have to admit, I was barely able to resist this attack myself. Just when an image of the alien appeared seemingly right in front of me, I was able to snap out of it and take manual control of the weapon systems. Immediately upon being fired upon, it cut the visions and jumped through a hyperspace breach.
My crew recovered pretty much immediately, though a few officers are still complaining about images briefly flashing up before them. I will have them all submit to a medical and psych exam as well as myself, just to be on the safe side.
Scans of the Nomad vessel and the communications log will be attached below.

[15.04.2020 18:31:57] Vagrant.Aun'el: *The Alien freezed right before the captain*

___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Greetings, Lieutenant in reserve - Albert Clark in touch. I lost enough time in Hospital after a battle against Rogues where my ship was heavily damaged. But now, I finally recovered, so I can restart my work for Liberty Navy..
During a patrol near Fort Bush, long range scans picked up a hostile signature, belonging to a Golden Chrysanthemum ship, Julia_Rowe.
After trying to stop it and investigate on its reasons to be in Liberty, as the ship was not complying, I engaged the target, which was quickly dealt with.
As I was patrolling near West Point with the LNS-Achilles, we received an emergency transmission from the Liberty Police Officer Isla Nazumaki.
We moved in to the location she gave us, and found her in a tough position. The Achilles and I went in for support, and the targets, SneakyPete and Lawless_Soldier where quickly dealt with.
A group of targets near Norfolk was already fighting with other members of law enforcements. I stood by for support if I was needed.
The majority of targets were dealt with, when a Lane Hacker, Konrad.Von.Gloda, showed up. I took care of this one rather quickly, and returned to my patrol.
There was a large group of gunboats and fighters near Fort Bush. With my Waran, I tried to help as much as I could, but the ships moving fast, the targets were hard to hit.
We finally managed to get some of them, the rest fleeing to whatever refuge they could find.
As I docked out of West Point Academy, my scans showed a Rogue signature fleeing to California Jump Gate. I chased it through it, and found myself watching a battle between Rogues and law enforcements.
As the fight was rather fair, I stood by, and only engaged as a Rogue transport went in on our troops. The fight was relentless, and we had some casualties, but nothing compared to the Rogues and Outcasts that joined them during the fight.
All the targets were taken down.
As we were patrolling around with the LNS-Monitor and the LNS-Achilles, our scans showed multiple signatures.
As we went closer to them, Lt. Commander Sawyer scanned one of the ships, and it turned out to be a group of infected fighters, and two infected gunboats.
We gathered as much people as we could, but the Achilles was quickly taken down, aswell as the Monitor. My ship was destroyed soon after. My escape pod was recovered by a Medical Ship nearby, and I was dropped at West Point, where I now await new orders.

my today's report is about an encounter with two Rogue gunboats that happened two days ago. I began my patrol in New York system at 2000 Hours SMT. Not before long I received an order to pursue two Rogue gunboats, which were spotted near Fort Bush. After a short chase through Colorado and Ontario, the hostile vessels were intercepted in Sierra Ice Field, in California system. Right after that the hostile vessels turned around and opened fire at me and Lieutenant Commander Jeremiah Sawyer, who was there with me on LNS-Monitor. Our forces responded in kind and without hesitation. At the start, the fight did not go well for us, for we did not have enough fire power that would match the two gunboats. Fortunately, after some time two other Liberty Navy vessels joined the fight and turned the tide of battle in our favor. I managed to destroy one of the gunboats with a lucky shot from my antimatter cannon when his shields were depleted and his hull was severly damaged. Then Lieutenant Commander Jeremiah Sawyer ordered us not to attack the other gunboat, because he wanted to deal with it personally. It did not take long and the other gunboat was destroyed by Lieutenant Commander Jeremiah Sawyer.

An Outcast battleship, the MNS-Anaranjada flew nearby Planet Denver, in Colorado, while I was escorting a transport with LPI Officer Isla Nazumaki. I immediately called for backup.
The LSFC-Seattle and the LNS-Integrity showed up to deal with it, which was swiftly done.
Two Nomad battleship were spotted between West Point Academy and Norfolk Shipyard.
Worried to face backup, a considerable amount of Navy ships responded : the LNS-Glendale, the LNS-Assault10, the LNS-Odyssey, the Hurlburt.Field and Amper, including me.
The two targets, K'Hara|Pa'zuzu and Vagrant ship Sharkom, were quickly sent back to their original world.
I answered an emergency signal near Planet Houston. What I saw there was definitely out of the ordinary. Multiple targets were there, and little reinforcement was shown, unfortunately.
There were several fighters, at least two bombers and a Rogue destroyer. I managed to put enough pressure on the Outcast pilot LaCruz for him to make a mistake and drop a mine when he shouldn't have, but I was quickly put down.
This is one of the biggest unlawful group I've seen so far, and this is beginning to worry me for the future.
I was flying near Philadelphia Station when four hostile signatures showed up on scanners: the two infamous Rogue gunboats Birdie and Hesler, and two Rogue Super Heavy Fighters, oddball12 and FLINT666.
Reinforcement came quite fast, and the two gunboats flew away. That wasn't the case for the two fighters, which sticked around. Ensign Marcus Carter and myself went after them.
I was rather impressed by how Ensign Carter managed to put the two targets down, as I didn't have much to do since he handled this pretty much on his own.
We were patrolling around to find the two gunboats that flew away, in California, when two Hellfire Legion ships showed up on scanners.
They were quickly engaged by the three bombers present in the system. However, two Liberty battleship came to assist, which was probably not necessary.
The two targets were obviously quickly destroyed, but as Lt. Commander Sawyer stated himself, this show of Liberty force was definitely not necessary, as they didn't even have the possibility to defend themselves.
I probably should have disengaged sooner.
The Rogue taken down by Ensign Carter earlier in Pennsylvania, oddball12, engaged a ship within the Badlands, near the Pennsylvania Jump Gate.
We immediately moved on to the coordinates to investigate. The ship did not answer on comms, and engaged Ensign Carter without saying anything.
I immediately answered with his way of speaking, and the Rogue fighter was destroyed in a matter of seconds.
A Lane Hacker named Glass showed up near West Point Academy. At this exact moment, chasing him was impossible, as he mined the trade lane and ran away.
But the same ship was spotted near the Pennsylvania Jump Gate in the Badlands. I found him, and engaged him. He immediately tried to run off, and for quite some time I chased him, leaving him no options.
However, my Cruise Disruptor ammunition stock dried out, and I had no other options than letting him go. I wasn't able to do more, unfortunately.

Today at 1812 hours, Carrier Nevada under my command engaged Nomad warforms in the New York system.
At first - like normally I do, I read reports and at that time I received reports in my quarters that an Nomad Incursion have taken place at the Planet Manhattan - being cornered about safety of the civilian life's I took command of the Carrier Nevada and joined up with the Carrier Bennington and Liberty Dreadnought Arkansas at West Point Academy - from there our warships took tradelane to Planet Manhattan. When we arrived, we detected at least four nomad warforms eager to engage our Liberty warships. Friendly squadron of our own and enemy fighters was already engaging each other nearby before we arrived and so we supported them morally too. The nomad warforms met the Liberty wrath from Nevada, Arkansas and Bennington guns while they were pounded by the "Collapser"-class Primary turrets. In the end, Nevada destroyed two Nomad warforms - as for Arkansas and Bennington, per one.
Shortly after we defeated enemy warforms, our fighters cleared remaining hostile fighters and gunboats - Nevada, Arkansas received moderate damage because of the debris which hit both of our ships, however Bennington received medium damage over the battle and returned to Norfolk Shipyard for repairs. After pilots were accounted for - Nevada returned to Norfolk Shipyard for the maintenance
Sharkom - Nomad Cruiser - destroyed by Bennington, last hit made by LSF pilot Bravo 4 [Alert, kill conformation corrupted!]

There were multiple Nomad ships near Manhattan. Some criminals were already dealing with them, and the adequate course of action to adopt was to wipe those monstruosities out of New York.
A massive response came from the Primary Fleets, as there were multiple fighters, and at least two capital ships. All the nomads were taken care of.
Right after, the criminals came back to their usual habits: attacking law enforcements. Unfortunately, I was put down by a mine, and had to leave with my escape pod to Planet Manhattan.
As I was patrolling around California with Cadet Lucius.Hopkins from the 5th Fleet, an Outcast, Garcia.Ortega, was harassing a civilian. Once I got here, the civilian was on his way to Riverside Station to stay safe.
As he needed some practice, I let the cadet deal with it, but he was put down by a well placed mine.
The sniffer went straight at me right after. I swiftly took him down, and he will not cause us trouble anymore.
A massive group of criminals - Outcasts and Rogues, for the majority - grouped near Norfolk Shipyard.
Backup was called, and within five minutes, the Rogues were already on their way back to Buffalo.
We chased them, they were almost near the Badlands, and we were reconsidering the engagement as our Capital ships could not navigate properly.
However they stopped right before getting in.
The Outcast capital ship was put down. The gunships and fighters aswell, and the last two targets were two gunboats, quickly put down.
It was a great response to the criminal activity nearby.
As I was stopped near Missouri, a Lane Hacker showed up, Shadow.Angel. The criminal dared to ask me if I had seen two transports he was looking for.
I remained calm, and proceeded to arrest him, but he did not comply. I engaged the ship, and after a few minutes, put him down.
During the fight, a transport named ZhengHe that was passing by, had some outrageous words, not only affecting me, but insulting the Navy aswell.
Here are the communication logs to prove that statement:
[26.04.2020 01:55:40] 2020-04-26 01:55:40 SMT
[26.04.2020 01:55:40] ZhengHe: GO! HACKER!
[26.04.2020 01:55:55] 2020-04-26 01:55:55 SMT
[26.04.2020 01:55:55] ZhengHe: kill the liberty dog!
[26.04.2020 02:02:07] 2020-04-26 02:02:08 SMT
[26.04.2020 02:02:07] ZhengHe: go LH!
[26.04.2020 02:02:12] 2020-04-26 02:02:12 SMT
[26.04.2020 02:02:12] ZhengHe: kill the Liberty SCUM
It should be noted that this individual doesn't seem to have hostile relations with the Law Enforcements.
This incident figures in that report as I don't think this kind of action should remain unpunished. If necessary, this sort of events will not appear anymore within my reports.
As my shift was nearly over, the next destination being West Point Academy, a hostile signature showed up on my long range scanners.
It turned out to be a Xeno, Fobos, wardering near the trade lane between West Point and the Pennsylvania Jump Gate.
I quickly moved to see what he wanted, but he proceeded to run away at first, and after stopping, did not answer.
I engaged him, and finally put him down with a good mine. This one will regret to have crossed my path, there.

This is Lt. Commander Jeremiah Sawyer of the Liberty Navy First Fleet
Good day, I'd like to report the findings of a recon mission that took place in Kansas, by the LNS-Monitor with me in command, and Lt. Davis.
We've stumbled upon 2 installations I'm not familiar with. Docking is restricted on both of them. I'll provide visual footage, along with coordinates for one of these installations, these are nearby, both located in grid square 7F, New Hope Outer Station appears to have some defense capability in the form of some weapons platforms.
In case any further details are required, be sure to contact me without hesitation.
Respectfully,

We received reports of two Rogue Super Heavy Fighters and one Rogue Gunboat making mess around Philadelphia Station. I was dispatched along with other Liberty Navy and LSF ships to take care of them. I managed to take down both Super Heavy Fighters, but the gunboat was already gone when we got there.
A suprisingly large group of Liberty Rogues and Outcasts emerged from the Badlands near West Point Academy. Not before long a strike force consisted of Liberty Navy, Liberty Security Force, LPI and some mercs succesfully intercepted the hostile group and won the battle. I managed to destroy one enemy bomber.
During a patrol in the Badlands with LNS-Monitor we encountered a "Pitbull" pirate train near Pennsylvania Jump Gate. Before we even managed to scan its cargo, the pirate train opened fire at us. Naturally we responded in kind and destroyed the train.
A few minutes later I was attacked by Gammu AI vessel for reasons I do not know. I destroyed the vessel and continued with my patrol.
Later the same day I was joined by Mark Bannon from the 5th Fleet on my patrol in the Badlands. We encountered two Outcast vessels and destroyed them.
After we finished our patrol in the Badlands with Mark Bannon, we moved to Texas, where we encountered another two Outcast vessels near Beaumont Base. Needless to say that we destroyed both hostile vessels, altough they gave us one hell of a fight.

As we were stationned at West Point Academy, the LNS-Monitor, the LPS-Elizabeth and I received an emergency transmission about Rogue activity near West Point - Pennsylvania jump gate trade lane.
We moved on to the last known location of the Rogue, and got his signature, Healy.Delight was the name. I engaged the target and its ship was quickly put out of action.
We were stationned again at West Point Academy, and a smuggler showed up on scanners, named Corvo50-Trader. The ship proceeded to dock and tried to avoid control, but the LNS-Monitor already scanned him.
As soon as he docked out of West Point Academy, Detective Isla Nazumaki blocked his docking rights and we proceeded to arrest him. He didn't answer, despite the multiple attempts to contact him.
Facing the fact this smuggler broke the law and didn't seem to care at all, we destroyed its ship, and his escape pod was returned to West Point Academy for a medical checkup, and to face his acts.
I just took the commands of the LNS-Fluvanna, and barely even talked to the crew, when we picked up a Rogue signature on scanners, [R]-Sea.Hawk.
We proceeded to arrest him. However, as almost every Rogue I've encountered in my life, the gunboat did not comply, so we intended to destroy it.
Unfortunately, and despite the fact I tried giving him a fair fight, my lack of commanding skill and my little to no abilities to fly gunboats made this fight last too long, so I called for help. LPS-Elizabeth, Cadet Lucius Hopkins and two bounty hunters engaged. We finally put the gunboat down.
I understand that my actions do not reflect the fairness asked from Navy Officers, but I couldn't have fought this one on my own. Even if the forces that engaged were far too much, the fight was too long for me to bear.
I will show a more cold-blooded spirit in the future.
During a patrol, I encountered a Rogue fighter roaming around.
The name was Steffen.Crane, and his ship was quickly destroyed, there's no need to expend on that.
As I was on commands of the LNS-Minuteman, a Rogue Super Heavy Fighter showed up near Manhattan, The_Flying_Dutchmen.
I did not want to chase it, since it was outgunned, but the Rogue kept coming closer, leaving me no choice but to engage him.
The fight did not last long, and the target was taken down.
Again, I was on commands of the LNS-Minuteman near Manhattan, when an AI drone showed up, Hal_9000. Detective Isla Nazumaki was there, trying to establish communication with the AI.
Without even sending a message, the drone destroyed her ship, so I ordered a retaliation fire. The drone was put down in one shot. Detective Nazumaki's escape pod was transported to Planet Manhattan.
An infected ship crossed my path during a patrol around the Badlands.
As I was outgunned, I called the LNS-South.Dakota for assistance. I kept the ship pinned so that it couldn't fly away. The South.Dakota took care of the rest.
A massive group of unlawful near West Point Academy disturbed the traffic around that sector.
An immediate response was engaged. Targets were Birdie, Hesler, Naboo.Royal.Starship and -|-"Silencer", all taken down.
A Hellfire Legion Battlecruiser, tagged Nightflyers_II, was spotted near Planet Houston by the LNS-Glendale, so I moved in to assist.
The Glendale made a quick work of it, and we returned to base as soon as it was over.
A ship called JumpstyleJurgen passed by West Point Academy, and I proceeded to a scan routine. However the ship did not answer the comms.
I kept it pinned and asked him to stop cruising away, or he would be put down. After the third call, I engaged, and put him down.
His escape pod was transported to West Point.
A pirate ship, General.Chow, flew by the LNS-Monitor, Ensign Marcus Carter and I near West Point.
We engaged him, as he refused to stop and be taken to West Point to be interrogated.
The ship was destroyed, and its owner taken to the Academy anyway.
The LNS-Monitor spotted a Rogue Super Heavy Fighter near Pennsylvania Jump Gate, oddball12.
I moved to its location, and destroyed it.
It was quick work, and the traffic went back to normal.
If you need me to add the communication logs, please feel free to ask me.
