Comm ID: Cadet Avery Reeves (Navy Patrol Erie; Pennsylvania) Target ID: Primary Fleet Patrol Reporting Center Subject: Patrol Record for April 16th, 823 A.S. Encryption: Low Priority: Low
I began my patrol briefly around West Point, ensuring no contraband was smuggled through, I was contacted by a citizen to help them assort their cargo above Erie, my nature as a defender of liberty encompasses more than just defending the economy but also helping those whom may boost the economy through trade. Upon arrival and soon after helping the citizen sort their items and properly set up their ship, three Rogue cruisers entered the sector. They instantaneously chose to attack me due to my Navy ID. Despite this, I knew I could not let them do the same to the other citizens, so I ordered everyone in close proximity to leave while I drew the fire and was chased away from the trade lanes. I managed to get within the range of Battleship Gettysburg once all the civilians had left the area and remained there to avoid taking further damage, it was at this time I called for reinforcements and a Navy Cruiser promptly came to the area, we were unfortunately outnumbered and out-gunned but held for a duration longer than should have been possible with how well geared our enemies were. Due to our efforts no civilian casualties were incurred, my craft was heavily damaged thereafter and I was not able to witness the fate of the allied Cruiser since I had ejected at that point. I had my craft repaired and resupplied not long after and set out again to ensure nothing of the same scenario occurred again.
I am currently docked aboard the Philadelphia station relaying this message to you now.
Stay Vigilant,
Cadet Avery Reeves, Liberty Navy Primary Fleet.
