Two smugglers at present. The first was detected in an Advanced Trader approaching from Rheinland with a full load of Diamonds.
He was shot down and his cargo destroyed.
The second, by the name of PunkMeOut, is currently docked in Norfolk with a full load of Artifacts. He undocked for a second attempt at escape, but unfortunately one of my CD's set off the local Lawfuls, who proceeded to engage me. One of my accomplices managed to chase him back to Norfolk. I am currently awaiting updates on the situation, once I know I will forward them to you.
Edit: By the time our search warrant was passed, he was nowhere to be found. It is believed he somehow stashed his Advanced Train and found somewhere to hole up for the night. He is a known smuggler and I advise he be added to some sort of priority list.

I realise I requested some time off last night, but I cannot lie still and silent whilst smugglers are allowed to come and go through NY as they please.
I was patrolling Liberty airspace when I received a message over the comms saying a counterfeit smuggler by the name of BadWolf was approaching Manhattan. I sent one of my accomplices to intercept. However, we found nothing on him but legal goods. Then I realised, Manhattan is a hotspot for counterfeit software purchases.
I became even more suspicious when he told me to patrol Badlands for criminals, so I used a bluff. I went down the Tradelane then doubled back after he had docked. One of my accomplices scanned him and discovered I was correct. We attempted to stop him on exiting Manhattans atmosphere but he escaped. We went into pursuit and managed to overtake him on the way to Texas. We shot out the tradelane and confronted him.
After a brief firefight, with him struggling to not only cruise out, but shoot our fighters down while disrupted, he ran out of nanobots and batteries. Realising his efforts were futile, he gave up and jettisoned his counterfeit software. Unsure of what else to do, we destroyed them and escorted him from the system.

To end my shift, we were raided by several Xenos and a rogue. They were spotted off by Manhattan, but by the time we were organised they had moved to Fort Bush. We proceeded to engage. We lost a Cruiser and a gunboat, but in the end we were victorius. I am happy to announce that it is the first battle I have been in, in which my ship has not been destroyed.
I will upload the rest of these images to the network after I have rested. I pull a rather long shift. (OOC: I need sleeeeeeeeep. Stupid feeble human mind/need for education/sleep. -.-)
