Good Evening All (Excusing Rank).
Firstly, my congratulations to Ensign Rivers. Your service in the Navy has been commendable, and the promotion is well deserved.
On a more routine note, the former 7th Battle Group carrier Black.Scorpion made an appearance in Manhattan orbit. The Captain stated his intentions to 'cleanse' members of the Navy and Police Force, and was preparing to open up an LSF transport. Bomber units in the vicinity moved to engage the carrier before Captain Polstari arrived aboard the [LN]-LNS-China.Lake. With his assistance, the ship was destroyed before it had the opportunity to jump. I doubt the destruction made an outstanding impression on the Council transport passing through, but it's one more trouble out of our hair.
Shortly after the carrier went down, a Rheinland battleship entered Manhattan orbit. The Captain was unresponsive to demands for his surrender, and the warship was destroyed.
