Ave libertonian allies,
My name is Nathaniel Zac, Paladin of The Core under Guildmaster Nathaniel Archos. I come to you bearing grave concerns regarding recent events that took place in the heart of Liberty.
In the very early hours of the 25th APR 826 AS I was dispatched to move a small amount of fleet assets to the Omega-55 system to reinforce our presence in the sector. I was captaining the Mako class Battleship "Decimari" and was escorted by two members of The Core Secondary Fleet, both piloting snubcraft vessels. To this extent we were to make use of the Jump Drive technology available on said Battleship to travel quickly and unnoticed between regions, however, due to faulty coordinates or a drive malfunction we found ourselves floating in the New York system shortly after engaging the Jump sequence.
At this point we had no idea if there was an issue with the Jump Drive module itself, coordinates were corrupt or if the crew handling the device committed a human error in entering them. While not having enough fuel to make a jump back to the Omicrons and being very well aware of involuntarily violating the Laws Of Liberty regarding foreign Capital Ships I made the call to come out clean and state our presence in the system to the lawful forces, instead of continuously trespass our way back through other Liberty systems and raising alarms to other Houses as well.
We proceeded to Planet Manhattan where our ships were orbiting while my crew was assessing the situation with the drive, expecting to encounter the local lawful squadrons to whom we were to explain our situation and request an escort out of Liberty space. Unfortunately this never happened as we never saw a single friendly ship while orbiting the Planet. What did happen, however, is that a large number of hostile forces intercepted us right in front of the docking ring where they carelessly opened fire on our ships. These hostiles were composed of Auxesian and Lane Hacker forces, a handfull of bombers and a Cruiser class vessel on the Auxesia side. They we're double our numbers and prepared for battle, hence the skirmish led to the destruction of the ships piloted by my escorts as well as very heavy damage inflicted on the Decimari Battleship, whose wreck is currently sustaining exceptional repair efforts at Norfolk Shipyard. Even if my fellow Core pilots and myself managed to abort our ships before their imminent termination, I have lost a considerable chunk of my crew in the relentless assault committed in the heart of Liberty.
This situation raises grave concerns on how Liberty forces chose their allies or to express a neutral stance towards organizations like the Auxesia who eagerly share arms with criminals such as the Lane Hackers and open fire across an extremely populated civilian hub without any repercussions, actions which were not even met with reaction from the nearby stations defenses. I'm hoping to receive some sort of explanation to why such endeavors are allowed and why the presence of your forces has been replaced by criminals and fanatics, or at least some form of assurance that actions will be taken against such terrorists attacks and attitudes manifested by mentioned party.
I'll attach attach black box recordings bellow and hope to hear from you soon. Gloria aeterna
[size=4][24.04.2019 22:40:45] Abaddon,: I knew those jump drives were a bad idea.
[24.04.2019 22:41:04] Core|WV-Decimari: Calm yourself. We're with friendlies
[...]
[24.04.2019 22:41:12] Abaddon,: I know... But we could have ended up anywere.
[24.04.2019 22:41:13] Core|WV-Decimari: While we're here
[24.04.2019 22:41:20] Core|WV-Decimari: How about a round of Liberty Ale?
[24.04.2019 22:41:29] Abaddon,: Might as well.
[24.04.2019 22:41:30] Core|WV-Decimari: I remember Manhattan having the best bars
[...]
[24.04.2019 22:43:34] Core|WV-Decimari: Manhattan is this way. Shall we?
[24.04.2019 22:45:14] Abaddon,: It's been YEARS since I was last here.
[24.04.2019 22:45:18] Core|WV-Decimari: How about you go grab us a couple of units of Liberty Ale?
[24.04.2019 22:45:28] 2019-04-24 22:45:31 SMT Traffic control alert: Abaddon, has requested to dock

[24.04.2019 22:46:34] Core|WV-Decimari: There we go!
[24.04.2019 22:46:41] Abaddon,: Gonna have to save some for Snowflake, if he ever turns up.
[24.04.2019 22:46:44] This is an automated message.
[24.04.2019 22:46:44] Please do not swear or you may be sanctioned.
[24.04.2019 22:46:50] Core|WV-Decimari: This place looks like garbage
[24.04.2019 22:46:57] Abaddon,: Indeed.
[24.04.2019 22:47:08] Core|WV-Decimari: Was it like this back in the day? I can't remember
[24.04.2019 22:47:10] 2019-04-24 22:47:12 SMT Traffic control alert: Snowflake_Blaster has requested to dock
[24.04.2019 22:47:16] Abaddon,: Yeah, it's always been this dull.
[24.04.2019 22:47:27] Abaddon,: If it means anything, you should have seen it during the Rheinland war.
[24.04.2019 22:47:29] Abaddon,: It was even worse.
[24.04.2019 22:47:48] Abaddon,: A load of retards running around, claiming to know what was going on.
[24.04.2019 22:48:06] Abaddon,: Paladin, you would have loved it. THe amount of idiots you could scream at, would be like nothing you could imagine.
[24.04.2019 22:48:08] Core|WV-Decimari: I was nowhere near Liberty in those times
[24.04.2019 22:48:15] Core|WV-Decimari: Been around only visiting once in a while
[24.04.2019 22:48:25] Abaddon,: Inbetween the Jump Drive malfunctions...
[24.04.2019 22:48:27] Core|WV-Decimari: You're saying things changed?
[24.04.2019 22:48:32] Abaddon,: They got worse.
[24.04.2019 22:48:45] Core|WV-Decimari: Aye well we didn't build those ourselves
[24.04.2019 22:48:56] Abaddon,: Ever since Hale left... This place has gone to hell.
[24.04.2019 22:49:01] Snowflake_Blaster: Why don't you wanna stop and say hi buddy?
[24.04.2019 22:49:10] Abaddon,: Enjoy, Snowflake.
[24.04.2019 22:49:16] Core|WV-Decimari: I was hoping to be greeted by the [...] Liberty police
[24.04.2019 22:49:20] A/)-Basilisk.6: Shooting in House Space? Tssk, tssk.
[24.04.2019 22:49:24] Core|WV-Decimari: But seems like theyre not the ones in charge of this place
[24.04.2019 22:50:12] Core|WV-Decimari: Now, now Snowflake
[24.04.2019 22:50:14] Core|WV-Decimari: Leave him be
[24.04.2019 22:50:28] Core|WV-Decimari: We're not on our turf
[24.04.2019 22:50:30] Abaddon,: I think Snowflake is just having fun, Paladin.
[24.04.2019 22:50:35] Snowflake_Blaster: I'm just following him around, no harm in it
[24.04.2019 22:50:43] Abaddon,: I think they're playing tag...
[24.04.2019 22:50:50] A/)-Basilisk.6: Ah - yes - let us not forget your previous remark.
[24.04.2019 22:50:55] Core|WV-Decimari: This one at least has the decency of not using stolen AP line ships
[24.04.2019 22:51:12] A/)-Basilisk.6: Our tech is better anyway.
[24.04.2019 22:51:24] Core|WV-Decimari: You mean the tech you stole from The Core?
[24.04.2019 22:51:26] Snowflake_Blaster: That why you're flying a civilian ship? *The pilot laughs*
[24.04.2019 22:51:27] Core|WV-Decimari: Yeah. Okay
[24.04.2019 22:51:28] Abaddon,: Riiight.... That's why you steal our stuff?

[24.04.2019 22:53:14] A/)-ACV-Cepheus: XO: Your presence in this section of space is unwelcome. As such, you are to be removed forthwith.
[24.04.2019 22:53:16] Abaddon,: I told you that damn jump drive was a mistake...
[24.04.2019 22:53:17] Core|WV-Decimari: Yeah? What's up? Care to join us for a round of Ale?
[24.04.2019 22:53:29] A/)-ACV-Cepheus: XO: We are authorized to use lethal force.

Paladin Zac:
Your reporting is certainly intriguing, if lacking in crucial details. It should be noted that while Auxesia is not named as a hostile military by the Republic of Liberty, they are considered a foreign military entity, and must abide by all the laws and restrictions that entails - including being restricted in their travels into Republic space without prior approval from Navy officials.
If you could elucidate us on further details of this incident, perhaps with video logs or other scans, that would be enlightening as to the situation at hand. If the other forces, including the Navy's Long Island, managed to capture scans, those would be interesting as well. In the meantime, I'll leave handling both the finer diplomatic details and whatever repercussions your...unannounced visit to Libertonian space, and subsequent violation of the Manhattan Defense Grid, to the Navy and Police officials who should be responding shortly. Your intelligence, however, might go a long way toward understanding how they managed to penetrate the otherwise impregnable defense grid.
In service to the Republic.
