Greetings to the NGS high command. I was once party of your little group trying to help Liberty citizens live a safe and fulfilling lives. After what Happened today I would like to formally resign my position in the National Guard Services. I have witnessed people abuse their power before but no like this.
Firstly, I was fired upon my the LNS-Ravenswood, which is the NGS leader, I shoot back and he said he was going to discharge me for the NGS. I stooped after this and resumed patrolling.
Secondly, there was a distress call because of Liberty pirate in a trade lane and I was sent to go after them. Now I am a Liberty Siege Cruiser and they were bomber, I am not suicidal. I did not go so he sent a different gunboat after them. He sent a LABC after me to kill me. Once I saw the LABC come after me I ran away. LSF watched as this happened and thankfully stepped in. This is the worst abuse of power I have ever saw.
People of Liberty do not trust the [NGS] to come and help you if this is what they do to their own Pilots. They watch them die and move on as if it was nothing.

Sir,
I found your actions today unacceptable, You fristly disobeyed a direct order from the Commander this is quite frankly shows your disrespect for our chain of command. Secondly you fired upon a freelancer bomber in your cruiser without giving any kind of warning. Thirdly you opened fire on other NGS ships without a word in an aleged "Sheild test".
In summary today your behavoir was not what we will accept from our cruiser captains, thus you have been striped of your rank within the National Guard.

I am sickened by the lies you have written here, all I have had since you were enlisted into the National Guard were complaints, you also have a ship class which the NGS do not use unless you are higher than Lt Commander rank, you are certainly NOT a Lt Commander.
We were told that there were pirate vessels at the Texas jumpgate in New York, I was responding to this incident in Ravenswood, a Liberty Gunboat, we reached Norfolk shipyard and then were told that they were bombers, and as I hadn't seen Brookstone's fighting skills, I thought this would be the perfect oppurtunity, we also had a fighter escort moving in from Texas to protect the cruiser. The captain then disobeyed this order and fired upon the Ravenswood, I was also informed by another NGS member that his actions were irrational when dealing with the public, I was informed to review his mental ability.
My ship damaged I told my crew to dock on Norfolk and lend me a fighter to assist, again the captain disobeyed orders, he then fired a razor which took my shields down.
A LABC near the situation then got involved and fired upon the Brookstone, the weapons fire took down the cruisers shields. Brookstone then kept on engaging the LABC.
After numerous accounts of disobeying orders and engaging NGS vessels for "shield testing" infront of civilian vessels making the NGS members look like idiots who engage their own vessels.
I even contacted Brookstone to speek to the captain to negotiate and discuss these crimes, he just dismissed these attemps and continued to commit these crimes.
As the commander of the NGS I made the decision to eject you from the NGS, I am afraid that the NGS does not allow people like you within its ranks, you are therefore removed from our central communications and our organization.
I will contact the Liberty Navy Admiral to assess your minds stability to control a ship of that class.
Signed,
Commander Jack Murdoch

//The NGS may not be official but we still have a rank structure, you have to follow it being a lower rank, as you did not, you were removed.
Please do not flame post just because you cannot follow orders and were conciquently removed from the faction.

...The Brookstone seems to be causing alot of trouble lately, earlier today, I suspect around the same time that the aforementioned incidents were taking place.
I witnessed the the Commanding Officer of the Brookstone, firing his vessel's main weapon toward Newark station, I requested for him to stop several times, one of these times I was given the short reply of "I thought I saw something".
What he might have seen I have no idea, but that's certainly no excuse to fire a weapon of such power at a Civilian space station...more than once..let alone three times...That's all I have to say for now, Deputy Chief Williams, Out.

I personally have seen some very disturbing records of LNS-Brookstone's behavior. One of the most disturbing instances was that of
a peace activist in New York voicing his opinions on Liberty Government policies. Although it could be said his opinions on the government were far from favorable, He was voicing them in a non-violent way. The LNS-Brookstone lured said peace activist into bringing his ship into range to be scanned. The unsuspecting pilot was no danger to anyone, and had nothing to hide, so he agreed to submit for a scan. The LNS Brookstone opened fire without warning and destroyed his small, lightly armed ship.
The pilot was heavily injured and it was nothing short of a miracle he survived.
Liberty is NOT a fascist military dictatorship. we DO NOT kill people for voicing their opinions! Freedom of speech is one of our highest values!
It is my opinion that the captain of the LNS-Brookstone is mentally unstable, and not fit military service, much less the command of a cruiser.
