Situation report.
At 2125 ZULU I attended the deployment of an additional battlegroup to the Leeds front, aboard my former command Colorado Springs. The vessels, totaling two Interdictor-class, six Defiant-class, and a host of attendant fighter craft will form the bulwark of our renewed tactical operations on this front. I expect those assigned in TacOps West to carry out their duties admirably, and offer the beleaguered Bretonians some much needed respite.
After attending to the fleet, I was contacted by a Commander Malachy Marshall of the Bretonian Armed Forces. Ex-Navy, if his service record is to be believed. Gallic forces had penetrated one of the cordons in Leeds, and a small force of Maltese were holding them back. Marshall aboard the lend-lease Interdictor Aegis and myself aboard the Defiant Colorado Springs drew up for a quick strike, the only craft ready.
The result was quick and brutal for the Gallics. We intercepted the Obstinate Lazurite in low Leeds orbit and quickly dispatched it. A second Obstinate, the Evangelique, found itself intercepted by the Colorado Springs and then summarily removed from the field. After our successful operation, we RTB'd to New London without incident.
My only wish is that I could remain on the Leeds front to continue such operations; but the fires in the east burn bright, and we must attend to them. TacOps East, prepare for further tasking. The iron is hot and time is of the essence.

Ship status report
Codename Revenant has pulled into dry-dock with Chesapeake. The Directorate may now assume command over the vessel and modify its equipment and appropriately rechristen it in line with existing Agency assets. Additionally, personnel have completed integration. Those that did not desire a transfer were allowed retirement. How the transferred personnel are staffed within the current hierarchy is also up to the discretion of the Directorate. I would personally suggest that Marshals be tasked with DHS.

RE: 'Caladrius'.
Effective immediately, DHS SOUTHCOM is to form up under TacOps East jurisdiction for the duration of OPERATION SENTINEL. All previous personnel will be temporarily assigned to DHS SOUTHCOM pending further tasking at the dissolution of SENTINEL, and asset codename REVENANT will be included in operations following a brief shakedown.
I look forward to seeing your old agency's operatives in the field alongside our own.

The Lakenheath intercepted a Zoner battleship loitering in the vicinity of the Virginia gate. It opened fire immediately, following claims of accidental discharge. Littering the area were many shattered hulls of civilian transports, and circling the ship like vultures were what I believe to be acquaintances of this battleship, looting whatever it left behind as it destroyed the civilian vessels.
It fled the gate and the minefield, but we pursued in the Lakenheath. The vessel continued to attempt to escape, but it was all in vain as we bombarded it, and eventually the battleships drive core ruptured.
This was not our first encounter with the battleship, as we had destroyed it in New York previously. I do not know how or why it continues to return to Liberty.

Standard patrol resulted in encountering a Zoner battleship, a reoccuring problem, in proximity of the New York gate in Pennsylvania. The so-called ~USS~Stardust~. They quite violently refused the order to remove themselves and their ship from Liberty, and proceeded at impulse all the way towards Bethlehem station.
Unfortunately, back-up arrived late, and my lone Waran was not enough to bring the battleship down before it fled into the shadow of Bethlehem, and cowered in its shielding.
I'll see about forwarding the information to the other lawful forces and make sure the ship is declared a hostile entity within Liberty.

After hearing the =LSF=Able.Sentry was engaged in a fight with Lane Hackers in Pennsylvania. I jumped in my Templar and undocked from the Fidelity and put full power to engines. I made it during the back end of the fight and was able to secure one kill while Sentry oversaw the rest of the defense with Navy Secondary ships aiding.

Following a notification that there was a Unioner transport passing through Liberty, I pursued mostly out of curiosity. Careful to not intrude on Bretonias sovereignty too much, I continued following their trail, which ended up being a heavily damaged and particularly ancient pilgrim liner, leaking enough fumes that the Gaians three systems away were unconsciously aware of it.
It was in Cambridge I found, or rather, simply ran into a convoy of Unioner transports on the other side of the gate. Being targets of opportunity now, I went in to engage. Two of the transports fled, the pilgrim unfit for combat, and the other being simply unarmed, while the others remained to struggle. They didn't make it.
I've returned to Liberty safely, and with the more inconspicuous Waran as my choice of ship, avoided raising concerns over my presence in Bretonia.

Began a standard patrol of New York at 22:00 aboard the Fort Rucker, and was called over the presence of a Lane Hacker, believed to be the ace Mildred Wolfe. Three ships were already in pursuit of Wolfe, whom had fled to the defensive perimeter of the Liberty Rogues within the Badlands. A second Lane Hacker, identified as Justin Vek came to assist. Knowing that the life of a first fleet Ensign was now properly at risk, we engaged with the Rucker, and within a couple of minutes, a salvo of missiles had claimed Justin Vek, or at least, his ship.
Mildred Wolfe fled once their brief fighter superiority was taken from them, and after a prolonged chase, inevitably ran out of luck as their countermeasures failed to draw away another salvo of missiles, or rather, drew a Vandal into an asteroid directly adjacent to the Lane Hacker whilst their shields were down.
Perhaps that will serve as a reminder to them, but that might just be wishful thinking.

Was alerted to a capital presence as soon as I began my patrol in New York. The Hellfire Legion made a move, and was in the area of West Point gunning down tertiary fleet ships. Ageira's security teams moved in, along with multiple secondary fleet ships, though heavily outclassed by the two Arbiters. It also seems the Lane Hackers have either garnered some proper cease-fire with the Hellfire Legion, or are simply the same opportunistic vultures they always have been, and turned their attention on Liberty forces when arriving on scene.
The Hellfire Battleship Freedom went largely unmolested by capital vessels until some time into the fight, where it had just been myself and an Ageira bomber picking at its shields and hull. With the sheer anti-capital firepower on my Waran, I peeled away layer after layer of armor, and put the last few shots into its hull, and ruptured its drive core.
I was not able to continue to assist in the elimination of the other vessels, as with the combined point-defense weaponry of all three capital ships, and then with Mildred Wolfe stuck firmly on my 6, I had to crash-dock in a hanger on West Point.
I'll need to spend some time in the infirmary, and right now, am unaware to the outcome of the battle.

Began another patrol aboard the Lakenheath beginning at 21:00. Just shy of an hour later, we were alerted to the presence of two gunboats lurking on the lane from the New York jumpgate in Texas to Planet Houston. With the naval ensign Jeremiah Sawyer running escort, we ran into the duo, Rabon and Manfred Richthofen Jr. Two Condors with clearly flubbed paperwork, likely just independent pirates. They were dispatched handily by the Lakenheaths missile bays and point defense weaponry.
Not a few minutes later, further down the lane, we encountered and, after spouting gibberish at us for several minutes, engaged a Tridente gunship, quickly dispatching it as well.
The Lakenheath is currently docked for repairs to the mostly superficial damage it received, and will be ready for service before tomorrow.
