I am a bit disappointed at seeing this message.
From what i can understand, after announcing he was making his leave of Liberty. Captain Shad Winston aboard the LNS Commonwealth ordered the a ship known as the Ishtar to a halt, an order that was obeyed. The ship's identification as an Order vessel was called into question. The commander of the Ishtar replied stating he had no allegiance to the Order. This was considered a lie by some of the vessels in the area.
John Rudal aboard the Prodigy, if I may add is a ship that was supposed to be grounded at the time, jumped in asking to fight the allegedly hostile ship, putting his crew and resources of Liberty at risk. From the logs, Winston agreed to have let the battle take place implying that should the Ishtar survive the Prodigy's assault, it and its crew would be allowed to leave Liberty unharmed. The Prodigy, being outclassed, lost the fight. Luckily the crew managed to escape the ship before it was destroyed.
The conclusion of this unfortunate encounter is the reason for my disappointment. Instead of being allowed to leave after the fight with the Prodigy, Captain Winston ordered the ship to be destroyed, going against his previous agreement.
These logs were sent to me as a request to make a report on it. The commander of the Ishtar also stated that it's repair was successful and is willing to accept a public apology for the unreasonable attack on him and his crew.
