I am glad to report back from a successful covert operation in Liberty space. The Following report contains information about the innerpolitical situation in Liberty, which may be used to our advantage.
Agent Franz Leiche and me made our way to the California system through several gravitational anomalies known to the Nachrichtendienst. Our primary goal was to disrupt trade and eventually prey on lone patrols moving too far away from the planets orbits. To our surprise we encountered something far more interesting...
Intercepted messages on non-secured comm channels indicated that Navy personnel was enroute to Planet Mojave to deal with a not further specified threat. Apparently they fought a large capital vessel there, which turned out to be belonging to a group of criminals known as the "Lane Hackers". We decided to watch from afar to prevent being detected and took some pictures of the fight before we departed. It is not known if said capital vessel was destroyed by the Navy forces.
If I may speak freely...this could be used to our advantage to weaken Liberty from within if we found a way to support them indirectly. They might be criminal scum, but could still prove useful.
On our way to Magellan, where we planned to hit some Liberty transports, we where spotted by a Navy vessel, unfortunately. Evasive maneuvers were taken and we headed back to Texas. Some of his comrades might have broken off from the battle in Mojave orbit and assist him, which we deemed to dangerous.
In Texas he was still on our tail and we took the chance to strike against him there - farther away from the large Navy force we detected before.
The fight dragged on for some time and reinforcements arrived, yet the situation looked well under control for us so we did not break off and head home. The total amount of enemy fighters taking part in the engagement was five, this guncam shot shows four of them:
One of them was a civilian vessel, taking part in the fight against the orders of the Navy. Well, might have been patriotism, but that does not protect you against gunfire. He was taken down rather quickly.
After that I had to retreat due to the damage my Wraith had taken. Agent Leiche stayed there in the fight while I retreated with two of them on my tail. I was not able to shake them, but once I reached the Jump Gate to Hamburg they fortunately broke off.
In the meantime Leiche managed to destroy the LSF vessel that took part in the fight and afterwards retreated as I did.
