Several events were encountered today. First, an 'Oder' class Rhienland warship was stopped in front of Manhattan. The pilot of the 'CudneyRoman' showed signs of Harris' Disease, but was coherent enough not to confirm. I escorted him out of Liberty with the Defiant captain 'Mallard.' Afterwards, Auxesian vessel 'Cincinnati' contacted the communications officers aboard the Integrity, and I was informed of a derelict Archer they detected and were attempting to return. A high-security escort formed with the ESRD vessel [LN]-ESRD|LNS-Utah, the [LN]-LNS-Glengale, and the [LN]-LNS-Integrity to receive the Archer in question, but then left it at the Magellan->California gate when members of the Bounty Hunters Guild began converging on thier location. The Auxesian warships were unable to be located when the automated systems of the LNS-Archangel, the Archer in question, began to engage cruise engines and led the battlegroup on a chase through Magellan and into Cortez, where the artificial inteligance experianced a failsafe shutdown and ceased all activity. The boarding teams of the ESRD Utah did not find the command staff or the crewmen of the Archangel on board, and the vessel was severely damaged. The Auxesian pilots sent a last transmission before cutting communications with the Integrity, see the attached log. The Utah and their boarding teams moved the Archangel into the secure space of Virginia and left the Glendale and Integrity to handle reports of GRN 'Valor' class battleships in the Magellan system. Assisted by 'Dunkirk'-class battleship HMS-Endeavour, we were unable to repel the Gallic Valors and had to take a tactical backpedal to safer space for repair and restock.
While on individual patrol, I received an anonymous tip about a base within Magellan that was unregistered. I located the Lagos Depot within Sector A-1. The base systems denied docking rights to my vessel, and was equipped with three[1, 2] weapon platform system, which appeared to be built for anti-capital purposes. The base in question may be under the jurisdiction of the Bretonian Armed Forces, so their assistance may be required in the management of this transgression.
