Subject: Zoners hostilities to Liberty Navy
Admirals, on patrol today with a combined patrol of LSF and SA units we encountered a breach of protocol with a registered Zoner, going under the callsign of vendhyan. Long ranged scanners showed a contact leaving Zone 21. We moved to engage and caught the ship at the minefield. What we saw horrified us. A Zoner flagged and ID'd Osiris Battleship. The LNS Scottsdale pegged them with a cruise disruptor so that we could hail them and the Zoner immediately opened fire upon us, inflicting heavy damage upon the Scottsdale and destroying a Havoc bomber from the Scimitar Wing. After we ordered the Zoner to leave Liberty space, he flagrantly ignored the order and threatened Liberty forces.
It is my recommendation that this ship be considered hostile on sight, a complaint with the Zoner council be filed immediately, and an inquiry be launched into the Zoners supposed neutrality.
This is the last footage from Flight Officer Garrison Rosh's gun camera. He managed to eject, but was thrown into the minefield. He is presumed lost.
This is what the Missouri picked up from the comm chatter. This "Zoner" is obviously hostile.
The services for Flight Officer Garrison Roe will be held on Thursday at 11:00pm aboard the LNS Missouri.
