[color=#FFFFFF]Identification Processing... Captain Samuel Zanders
[font=Palatino Linotype]Salutations,
Today I was on patrol with a fresh recruit named Simon Sartori and ensign Jacob Beumont. After helping recruit Sartori set-up his vessel we received a report from ensign Beumont that a Rogue Gunboat and a Rogue Fighter were identified. Once we arrived to the scene it seemed like ensign Beumont had kept things under good control. The Gunboat was fined for bringing a hostile aligned war-vessel into Liberty's capital system, New York, and the Rogue fighter was told to depart from the scene.
The situation was handled peacefully, but as soon as these two pilots left a Legionnaire appeared out of nowhere. He was carrying several Liberty Navy pilots in his hold and so I ordered the Navy pilots under my command to engage the target.
However, it seemed recruit Sartori wanted to prove his worth and requested to solo the Legionnaire. Reluctantly I agreed but it seemed he has still a lot to learn so I ordered ensign Beumont to go in as well. Unfortunately during this time the Legionnaire had managed to slip away.
We continued our patrol towards Planet Manhattan and stumbled upon a pilot named Alexis Glover who had just finished shooting down a Liberty Navy pilot as we arrived. I took no chances and went in to try take the target down. A Mandalorian flew by and offered assistance which I gladly accepted. It seemed however that this Alexis Glover was too much for me to handle and so my ship received a critical double-nuclear mine hit that would have killed me if I hadn't managed to reach for the emergency-lifepod. I'm still alive, but I can't say the same for my ship.
