I started my patrol today with an emergency call from Joe Young, as there were reports of a massive pirate group that was moving around in Liberty. Lundarael, Mr. Young and I found the group in California, a popular hideout for many pirates especially in the lane between Mojave and the New York Jumpgate. Several outcast and rogue gunboats, bombers and 2 LR were in the area, however the latter on their way leaving. The fight began with one of the lane hacker bombers destroyed with an Antimatter cannon shot by Young.
We continued to fight until Lundarael was taken out by one of the opposing gunboats. While Young and I were retreating, our forces which consisted of several Upholder bombers and Havoc 2's jumped out of the lane and later took down the pirate gunboats.
Earlier this week, the systems were much quieter with several eager participants of our usual patrol. [Inc]_Shipping-inc._ and Evan Baggerly joined me and Ensign Murdoch on patrol of the New York system, their presence greatly aided our efforts to fight back the Rogues in the Pittsburgh Debris field.
Yesterday, another patrol consisting of Agent McClintock, Commodore Robinson, Lieutenant Commander Corraine, Lundarael, Alexis and myself found several fledgling pirates which included Tri-Edge, Azure and Celadon around New York. There were no serious incidents that had occurred.
