Routed To: Liberty Forces Command
Today while on patrol with =LSF=Firebird we entered Zone 21 to gather intel on the known smuggler Zain. Firebird approached the Alaska JG while I stationed myself in stealth mode at the entrance of the perimeter mine field. Shortly after Zain jumped to Alaska a one OTC_ZEUS appeared on my scanners at 13k. This was the same distance as Firebird and the Alaska JG. Within a few seconds and without any com traffic from either ship Firebird had been destroyed. I engaged my engines and headed to the event. On approach I noted Zeus had zero shields and had sustained minor damage. Said ship was flying with Kruger Mineral IFF. With one LSF officer down and the tell tail signs of a battle having just taken place I armed weapons and engaged. Shorty after I engaged; Zeus jumped to Alaska and I pursued. After a lengthy battle LSF and SA ships arrived and Zeus ship was destroyed.
A battle scene investigator was called and after reviewing the wreckage many tons of contraband artifacts were discovered.
Zeus and Kruger Minerals should be considered smugglers at the very least. For in their vile desire to take advantage of Liberty citizens they have shown zero consideration for human life or respect for Liberty officers. With absolute callousness and a desire only to not be caught; they cold bloodedly murdered a Liberty officer who was simply on an information gathering mission.
I suggest our diplomats in Rheinland express our outrage at this criminal behavior from one of their largest corporations and ask for compensation and an official apology for the family of the LSF officer who has died needlessly in defense of his home.
SpaceGhost out.
