ENCRYPTION:MEDIUM PRIORITY:MEDIUM COMM ID:Lieutenant Commander Alan Jones TARGET ID: First Fleet Reporting Facilities SUBJECT: Post-action Report
Post-Action Report, 23 Feb 822 AS
We received word of a massive Outcast Capital fleet, consisting of 5 heavy capital vessels heading into Liberty through Kepler. Immediately a large task force, consisting of several capital vessels and plenty of bomber strike craft, was organized in order to counter the threat.
My the time this task force was mobilized, the enemy fleet had broken into Colorado. In response to that our vessels performed a blockade on the Colorado Gate and sent scouts on the other side. After it was reported that they changed course to and had reached Ontario, our task force proceeded into the California System, and therefore blocking any chance for them to reach the New York system. Afterwards targets were spotted moving into the Cortez system.
Upon arriving there, these ships were maintaining some weird formation and shortly afterwards they charged on us with all they had. Yet after an intense fight with our capital vessels, and the assistance from the bomber crafts, the enemy fleet was defeated, all remaining were two rogue gunboats, that managed to flee.

On another notice I received a report about a navy ship having not reported back to base and supposedly gone missing. I managed to dig some information from the archive and this is what I came up with:
Quote:LNS-Venturous - Medium gunboat - CO: Nick Howland
The commanding officer, Captain Nick Howland, had originally enlisted
into Naval infantry corps and only after 8 years of services, and numerous requests was
transferred to flight operations as senior deckman.
Only after 6 years of continued service, he got in command of the LNS-Ventrurous and held this position untill now.
The ship's last signal was received from the Coronado system and yet the fate of crew and ship is unknown.
Once I gather more information on this matter, I will report it at once.
Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Alan Jones
