Subject: Battle Report- Manhattan
Ensign Toliman Reporting;
Today Liberty forces repelled a xeno attack in the area between Planet Manhattan, Fort Bush and the junker base Rochester.
I arrived late in the battle and Treckstar and Commander MacTavish were engaged with an XA pliot. I observed for a few moments until several other XA showed up on scanners. At this point I engaged to assist. One of the XA pilots were downed, but shortly afterwards Treckstar was forced to eject. MacTavish Downed another XA pilot however was also downed shortly afterwards. At this point, I went on the defensive and started dodging incoming fire.
A passing BH ship attempted to collect a bounty on one of the XA members, however 3 more Xenos ships (unaffiliated with the XA) showed up to reinforce their group. Not long after, the BH ship was downed and I was again forced on the defencive. Thankfully, two LSF agents responded to the area and engaged the hostle targets. A NGS Gunboat attempted to assist us, but became cannon fodder due to the sheer numbers of attacking Xenos.
An LSF agent managed to down an XA pilot and the remaining was forced to flee. However there still remained two un-taged Xenos that remained in the battle area. An LSF ship was downed and forced to eject, the remaining LSF Agent was Internity. He and I managed to take down one of the Xeno Ships. Having taken heavy battle damage and out of supplies, I transferred over my remaining Nanobots to his ship so his ship would hold together. The final Xenos Pilot eventually fled.
As I understand it, all downed personnel were safely transferred to Manhattan for medical treatment and debriefing. I know there are not many details in this report and I ask those involved to help elaborate on the missing information. Medical Technicians on Manhattan suspect I have a mild concussion from the battle and may have trouble recalling recent events in detail.
On a side note:
Before I engaged the Xeno targets, I saw a [GST] tagged ship pass directly below the fight towards Rochester (and the suspected location of the Colorado Jumphole) I was going to engage until I saw the incoming XA wave. This causes me great concern because before he passed, he bragged about dropping a load of cardimine on Manhattan. Ladies and Gentlemen, something must be done about this. They constantly break the trade embargo, ignore Liberty laws, and apparently now they smuggle contraband onto Liberty bases.
