Location: Norfolk Shipyard, New York
This is Recruit Franklin Carr.
I finished my first patrol in an Executioner Heavy Fighter. Starting at Battleship Mississippi, Texas system, I headed towards the New York jump gate. There I encountered about seven Outcast ships, Dagger class, attacking a DSE convoy. I held the pirates at bay long enough for the convoy to enter the jump gate and get away. Then I followed. Entering New York system, I met the convoy another time, again under attack from Outcast fighters. The transport's escort, three Starfliers, was destroyed, but together we made it to the Jump gate to Norfolk Shipyard.
From there I headed towards the debris field around Planet Pittsburgh, where I had several skirmishes with Rogues. When I registered four Wolfhound heavy fighters on my sensor-read, I had to retreat back to Norfolk, from where I then jumped to West Point, and from there to Planet Manhattan. There, I flew into the Jersey Debris Field. After several fights with Xenos and Rogues, and collecting about 17 pilots, my ship was so badly damaged that I had to return to Newark Station for rudimentary repairs. I then continued on to Norfolk Shipyard for more accurate maintenance.
