COMM ID:Captain Jane Hartman TARGET ID: Liberty Forces Reporting Centre SUBJECT:Rogue Dreadnought ENCRYPTION:High PRIORITY:High
Good Evening All,
FADM Saunders, VADM Teerin, CDR Wicks, LCDR Morse and I responded to a signals alert in Colorado earlier this afternoon. Morse and I were first on the scene, and located a Rogue Fleet on the Denver lane. The Rogue ships were headed by a Dreadnought, one of our Dreadnoughts, flashing Rogue colors.
The Rogues disengaged before we were able to halt the warship, taking a jumphole located in Sector D3 to an uncharted system and docking with a facility within. A second warship, a Scylla-class cruiser, attempted to prevent us returning to Colorado and was subsequently destroyed. VADM Teerin's ship was destroyed in the confrontation; however, we were able to retrieve his pod.
The presence of an operational Dreadnought in pirate hands poses a significant and immediate threat to civilian and military assets in Liberty. Consequently, the location and destruction of the Rogue Vessel Unnatural Disaster is to be made a priority for any naval ship that encounters it. Any further information that can be retrieved on the ship is to be submitted over this channel. I want to know where that ship came from, who's commanding it, and where the Rogues are getting the resources to keep it in space.
In the meantime, exercise caution when operating capital-class assets in known Rogue territory. Avoid taking any action that could result in placing a second warship in pirate hands. That's our ship, and if we can't get her back, then see to it that she receives a proper burial.
