Incoming Transmission Liberty Navy, 1st Fleet Commander Marcus Carter
Commander Marcus Carter, reporting in.
My report today concerns Operation Orange Juice, specifically the Pennsylvania system blockade that occurred on October 22, 833 A. S.
LNS Boston moved to the Kansas Jump hole as ordered to prevent any attempt to smuggle Cardamine into Liberty territory. Not long after our arrival, we encountered an Outcast heavy transport with the ID code "Dune-maker" carrying a significant amount of Cardamine in its cargo hold. As instructed by the Admiralty, we called for the vessel in question to stop and surrender the illegal cargo. This call was not heeded by the vessel concerned, instead the pilot of the transport attempted to make a deal with us to retain the illegal cargo and pay a fine. As soon as we refused this offer, the vessel in question took off. Before we could ready our weapons in time, the enemy transport managed to jump back into Kansas, where we had not pursued it. Although we did not succeed in destroying the transport in question, we can be glad that we successfully prevented it from bringing the illegal cargo to its destination.
[22.10.2023 20:23:51] [LN]-LNS-Boston: C: Halt!
[22.10.2023 20:24:00] Dune-Maker: Hola officer
[22.10.2023 20:24:48] Dune-Maker: Yes officer?
[22.10.2023 20:24:49] [LN]-LNS-Boston: C: There's a contraband in your cargo hold, pilot.
[22.10.2023 20:25:09] Dune-Maker: Oh really? I thought I had medical supplies.
[22.10.2023 20:25:21] Dune-Maker: I just pilot the ship honestly
[22.10.2023 20:25:48] Dune-Maker: I don't suppose I can just pay a fine?
[22.10.2023 20:26:13] [LN]-LNS-Boston: C: You're smuggling cardamine, don't you try to fool me, pilot.
[22.10.2023 20:26:51] Dune-Maker: Ah there's no getting past you officer.
[22.10.2023 20:28:00] Dune-Maker: Officer?
[22.10.2023 20:28:01] [LN]-LNS-Boston: C: You're under arrest, pilot. No deals, no fines.
Not long after the incident at the Kansas Jump hole, we joined the ships guarding the New York Jump gate as ordered. The heavy traffic in the area made our task somewhat difficult, but we still managed to intercept another transport with illicit cargo, this time a vessel with the ID code "STARFIELD_Transport". The pilot of the vessel in question was asked several times to surrender his cargo, but the pilot refused and tried to bribe me and the assisting cruiser LNS Arctic to let him through. After another disobeyed call, I gave the order to open fire on the enemy vessel. However, after the first salvo a Rogue gunboat appeared near the gate, LNS Arctic decided to pursue the gunboat. Meanwhile, the enemy transport jumped into the New York system, where I managed to catch up with it and destroy it and its cargo.
