Report on Corruption in the Northern Navy

After the publication of a CNS repport about the Northern Command actings toward a trader, LSF has been ordered to investigate on the activities of the NC.

1. Money Usages
   
   The LSF have recently revealed that the Fleet Admiral of the Northern Command has been using some Navy funds to host extravagant parties. The funds are retrieved directly from the government funding given the NC. The parties have been known to include prostitutes, both male and female, excessive amounts of Liberty Ale brand alcohol and even some synthetic marijuana for use at the party. Recommended course of action would be to send an agent that will keep control of the expenses as soon as possible.
   
   
   
2. High command vacations
   
   While studying the financial report of the NC, LSF agents have discovered that the Liberty northern command Admiralty, is taking a lot of vacation with their families and friends. However, they use governmental ships to travel around Sirius, thus forcing the government to pay for their expenses. Acting this way is illegal; LSF suggest that we ground all the governmental ships until we can find a better solution to the issue

Report on Corruption in the Northern Navy

1. Overwork
   
   Maintenances reports and flight records showed some very intriguing facts. According to the notes officers and crew are working 20 hours shifts per day, and are sometimes working a full week. Maintenance records on the other side showed that ships conditions were extremely bad: Engines overheat, accidents caused by weapons overuse and bad keeping, even some explosive decompressions due to holes in ships hulls. Likewise, several officers are suffering of post-traumatic stress because of their relentless work. In a similar manner, 45% of the maintenance crew is showing signs of extreme fatigue. Suicide rates and death by accidents have skyrocketed over the last months due to these issues. LSF suggest the implementation of more regulations within the NC to prevent exhaustion of their members.

Report on Corruption in the Northern Navy

1. Addiction
   
   Agents at the LSF have found even more troubling news about the Northern Navy. It appears that 31% of their officers are addicted to either Alcohol or Synthetic Marijuana. This poses a huge problem for Liberty as the Northern Navy controls a significantly large fleet and the entirety of Colorado. Suggested action is to put in place a new set of Military police and force the admiralty to reduce working hours and stress.

Report on Corruption in the Northern Navy

1. Mercenary services
   
   The LSF has recently uncovered that the NC has been using their government-given funds to fuel some Mercenary activity. The Libertonian government gives both the NC and SA a standard monthly sum of credits for use in repairs, ship commissioning and various other expenditures. It has come to the LSF's attention, however, that the NC has payed the leader of a mercenary group acting in Liberty to assault some ships and patrols in the southern system, Although, LSF do not know who has been attacked since the Mercenaries are working with various identities. It seems the plans of the NC are to disrupt activities in the southern area of Liberty. Reasons as well as the precise targets are unknown at the moment but such facts might explain the poor ships conditions within their fleet.

Report on Corruption in the Northern Navy

1. Relations with pirates
   
   Few weeks ago, an Ageira trade convoy carrying arms to Battleship Mississippi has been raided by a group of Liberty rogues. However, we have found some links between the rogues and one of the NC admirals. One of the rogue prisoners claimed that he was paid by someone to do raid the cargo ship. The subject was paid 100000 Credits to accomplish his mission. While studying one of the Admiral bank account we found that 100000 were missing, without any note or noted transactions. To prove such thesis, payment and money transfer were made the same day, at which time, the admiral wasn’t at his office or his home like he said he was. The LSF suggest the admiral to be sent on forced vacation so we can study the case even more. LSF found the subject alarming since the service has uncovered some information about mercenary engaged by the NC recently.

Report on Corruption in the Northern Navy

1. Sabotage
   
   On Battleship Yukon, In the California system, Chief engineer, Alster Nichols has delivered to the ships authorities one of his crewmen, that was spotted disconnecting some vital functions on a ship prior to a live operation. The man has been sent to the brig. However, according to records, he transferred from the Rio Grande to the Yukon only 3 weeks ago, for absolutely no apparent reasons. The transfer was ordered by a commander of the NC. Suspected of sabotage endangering the lives of workmates, and thus treason, the suspect will go to tribunal and may be executed according to the Libertonian laws if guilty. The NC seems to be responsible for the sabotage that has occurred on multiple ships within the Southern Alliance Navy, since documents about suspects, that all come from the northern navy are mysteriously classified to NC admiralty only. LSF suggest the government to send spies into the admiralty offices to seek for any conclusive evidences about those theses.

Urgent report on the Northern Navy about Conspiracy

1. Illegal Regime plans
   
   Our agents sent into the Northern Command (NC) offices have uncovered plans to introduce a totalitarian rule within the Colorado system. They(NC) will begin by stationing the Battleship Rio Grande at the New York Jump Gate and restricting all incoming traffic to navy personnel only. Next they have plans for performing system-wide sweeps for Xenos. They have assigned the 124th Navy Battlegroup consisting of the LNS Freedom and its escorts to destroy any and all Xenos they come across, bases included. The final stage of this is to place the LNS Freedom at the Kepler Jump Gate and the LNS Hope at the Galileo Jump Gate, thus restricting ALL traffic into Colorado:
   During our sweep of the system, all exits and entrances must be guarded. We dont want anyone to get in or out of Colorado, since our actions are considered illegal according to the Liberty rights chart. During the operations, all unauthorized civilian ships will be grounded, and communication relays will be shut down. Once the sweep is finish, the NC will discuss about the fate of the Colorado system -Commander Alexis Markin
   
   Documents also stated that the public court will be closed once the totalitarian regime gets in place. All pirates will be executed. The files even explained how those criminals would be treated:
   Give them enough food so they dont die, they may still have some information for us. They will have to starve, thus forcing them to speak. Then, once we know what we want, they will be thrown out of the airlock. Keeping criminals alive is a waste of money and resources Vice Adm. Mathew Ledley
   
   Other documents even showed some mission plans about strikes against SA facilities to give a chance to the NC to claim the New York System and to make the SA weaker.
   
   
   
2. Traffic Restrictions
   
   Once the LNS Hope, Freedom and Rio Grande have been put in place at the Jump Gates the NC will be restricting traffic to ships supplying the navy only. Any trade convoys not carrying vital military goods will be destroyed on sight. Any and all attempts by the SA or the LSF to enter will be stopped with brutal force if necessary. The Colorado system will enter a full and complete lockdown until the Xeno threat has been eradicated from Colorado. During the purge of the system, LSF and LPI agents that were usually working from the Colorado system will be shipless and grounded, possibly under the guard of the NC troops. Their situation after the operation is unknown. Considering the fact that communications will be down, we might lose contact with them.
   
   
   
3. Recommendations
   
   Considering the circumstances and the current state of affairs between the NC and the rest of the Libertonian lawful forces, the LSF recommend putting a stop to the operations led by the NC. The NC certainly have the fleet capacity to put this into place and from the plans, they intend to do it within the next two standard weeks. The LSF would recommend that the NC be dissolved and those still loyal to Liberty merged with the Southern Alliance. However, to dissolve the NC, we will have to eliminate their leaders; they are far too dangerous for the political stability in Liberty. This, the LSF believe, is the final straw for the NC's dangerousness. The numerous reports of minor corruption and abuse of power werent alarming, but these ones are. LSF will be grateful to provide any needed help in any operation against the NC admiralty.
   
   Admiralty would be jugged of conspiracy and high treason, according to laws, all members of the admiralty won't be eligible to a tribunal. They will be hanged on Planet Denver if caught. The NC is far too dangerous and must be strategically eliminated. They know too much about Zone-21 and could reveal some critical informations to pirate parties, Thus enabling them to strike at our witnesses. LSF is willing to take care of any assassination missions, while SA will take care of the last NC partisans.
