Sirs,
[color=##33CCFF]Today we showed the resolve that Liberty has, and prove that we are willing to do what it takes to win this war.
First off, there was a small RM force in Alaska - Obviously the prelude. Myself, Zanders and Kelly were dispatched to remove it. Halfway through the fight, I was redirected to Texas where the main bulk of the RM forces appeared to be targeting. A lone RM cruiser dropped out of the trade lane right in Houston's orbit and the ol'Miss went into it's usual frenzy. The cruiser lasted all of 30seconds and was lost with all hands. Capt Virgil Redline commented on what a waste it was. We think the crew must have been trying to launch either a hopeful recovery of it's fighters in Alaska or a suicide run at the Mississippi. After that small scirmish - The LSF came on station to start deep recon, and found the enemy in Hudson. So sooner had we reorganised our forces and launched into Hudson - My long range scanners picked up that the enemy force had jumped to Bering. The LSF followed through and then pushed into Hamburg to find out what was behind the enemy forces. Our strike group comprising Capt Zanders, Lt Smith (me), Ensign Kelly, Ensign Sartori and Ensign Turner turned around back to Texas, then into Bering and finally to ambush the enemy forces. We were outnumbered initially, before the heavy guns arrived in the shape of an LABC, Dreadnought and LSC. Assault1 also showed up to keep the enemy capital ships off us while we battled the RM forces. Slowly but surely, the Rheinlanders brought in more and more reinforcements and our capital ships were forced to retreat. We stuck around a while longer before we lost all 3 Ensigns to engine trouble and localised ionisation respectively. Zanders sounded the retreat and we flew back at best speed.
Minimal damage was done to my ship, thankfully. All this baby needs is a wash and a wax.
