From : Captain Kurt Konor, dreadnought Louisiana. To : Liberty Navy High Command Subject : Intruders in Texas.
Yesterday around 23h00 Sirius Time, a huge Rheinlander fleet had been spotted with our long range scanner in Texas system.
Immediatly, I put our forces to red code and gathered our ships in houston's orbit. At this time our forces were only 1 dreadnought, few gunboats and small fighters. Cause there's no high officier to command, I took the lead of our forces until a high commander came.
Five minuts after our rally at Houtson, lot of rheinlander fighters appeared on our scanners.
Cause their two suspected battleships weren't spot, I plan to engaged their fighters near our Battleships Mississippi, I hoped that this engagement force them to unhide their battleships positions and that worked.
Few minuts after the fight began, their two battleships charged. I immediatly ordered our forces to come back to our Battleships Mississippi ! With the Mississippi for covering fire our fighters took advantage.
A long range mortars fire began between Louisiana and their battleships, after few minuts, the cruiser Leyte Gulf and the dreadnought Columbus joined the battle. Battleshot 1 - Battleshot 2 - Battleshot 3
That took around 15 minuts to succeed to split their battleships, when that happened I charged with the Louisiana to the battleship of the right, our cruiser and our dreadnought followed behind us and we fired at will with our primaries turrets. With this power, we defeated the first enemy battleships Battleshot 4 but when the second battleships saw that, he tried to protect his friend and hit the Louisiana by the left, I put immediatly my ship out of their range of turrets, thanks Columbus for their cover Battleshot 5.
At this time we took advantage, their last battleships tried to escape when he saw that SCRA (who surprised me) joined Liberty forces in the battle. With our advantage until we defeated the first battleships and this unexpected reinforcement, the battle was won Battleshot 6. That's what happened when we defeated their last battleships Battleshot 7 - Battleshot 8.
Actually I don't know why SCRA came and helped us. Few days ago, they helped Rheinlander when we attacked them, and today they help us. I don't understand. I need to watch our documents and learn.

Good day Fellow Officers. Today the day was very exiting. On my patrol with the Bomber I Enqouterd a Old veteran Commander of the [LN] so we did the patrol together. We patrolled the Colorado New York systems but we dint encounter anything Untill we went to California system. Were we did a little chat with the local people, it was quite interesting talking to the ordinary people. Until our fun was ruin by 2 Corsair rookie pilots. Not very experienced and well trained pilots. But they were a threat to the people. I asked the Commander to engage the targets alone. He give me that permission. I engaged and After 3 minutes it was all over the 2 Corsair Pilots had a close encounter with a Super Nova Antimatter Cannon. Seeing easy pray a Liberty Rouge came along thinking I am a Easy target, well it didn't guess't. By the flying of his bomber I saw that pilot yet again was learning how to fly his own ship. After a a small fight his ship was destroyed. Here are Gun cam shots.

Good evening fellow pilots. My first filed report from my first patrol. Most certainly will be filing more, however I guess I speak for everyone in saying I dislike the paperwork side of this job! Pencil pushers sit behind desks, it's not meant to be pilots!
After coming out of West Point, I was assigned to the Gettysburg in order to complete my internship. I disembarked from the Gettysburg and headed to New York. I reached Norfolk shipyard when I found an IMG escort who was quite obviously under the influence. With a hold full of wine and beer in his cockpit, IMG|Attash-D nearly flew into the Battleship Missouri several times. I warned him off and he seemed to calm down a little.
I headed through to Denver (home) where I had a brief chat with my father whom gave me a small loan from his business in order to update my Executioner fighter somewhat in order to give me as much of a chance out here as possible. I picked up a transmission from Galen.Anderson who wanted me to accompany him on a routine patrol around Liberty. He told me what was expected of a nugget in the Navy and asked why I joined and tried to get to know me a bit better.
We ended the uneventful patrol at the Battleship Mississippi where Galen bid his farewells.
I've been informed by one of my tutors at the Academy that the Battleship Pegasus will be completed in the next few months and that I should apply. After running it by Galen, it seems that I do indeed have a chance of working on a Battlecruiser - Subject to me being exemplary in my career.
I certainly wish I do not let anyone down. I'd love to work on one of those great warships.
Today I completed my first patrol in a Navy Ship. Having recently earned my Executioner, I took it out to the Ontario system for a few training runs, during which I was contacted by the HMS-Enterprise. After we established that this Cruiser class vessel was not permitted to escort in Liberty systems, he asked me to protect his charge, BMM-DarkMaxi, in his place. Other than a disrupted lane halfway to Detroit Munitions, there wasn't much need for escort at all, let alone that cruiser.
Later I was flying back through the California system, I arrived at Mojave and witnessed a large explosion. After a moment, the smoke cleared and I saw thousands of slaves floating in space, and nobody else around. My best guess is that the slaver tried to dock with a Liberty Station, only to be destroyed by its turrets in the process.
My patrol was cut short when I was engaged by a HellFire Legion Sabre. I outmaneuvered him for a good 10 minutes, only to get podded just before a Navy Gunboat showed up.

Flew out, did a few 'round about New York while Officer Malrone and subordinates dealt with a threat up in Colorado. Then I got a distress from a LPI officer, said he was under attack in California, so I headed there. On the way, Hit a Junker...Slave liner. Was interrogating it, but the Distress calls got urgent, so left him as I saw I couldn't put anythin' against him.
Ran to California, Hit the Police officer, Saw an Outcast, a Lane Hacker and a Rogue. We began workin' on them, shootin' down the Rogue and then the Hacker. The 'Cast disappeared. An LSF officer showed up to help us, and he took down one, and I got the other.
Then we regrouped, all of us, and headed for patrols. We soon hit the mother lode. Joker with his usual group of thugs. A few words, then we fought. I was doin' well on my target, then Joker came out of nowhere and podded me. Made my way back to base in not too good a condition. Will need rest!
To start it off, the Joker and his buddies had setup a stronghold on the Norfolk - West Point tradelane. Fortunately, we had plenty of units to respond to this threat and I managed to take a few of them out while their guard was down.
>Xenos in Colorado.
I started a patrol through California, Ontario and onto Colorado - Where we found two Xeno's disrupting the tradelane from Pueblo to the battleship Rio Grande. Managed to take them out without too much hassle.
>Battle of California.
Stanford reported a couple of unfriendlies in California - So John Smith, Sky.Blue and myself responded to the call. By the time we reached California, Stanford has already dealt with them. So I awarded her with the nickname "Maverick".
As we continued our patrol of California, we came across Joker and Co. for a second time. They'd obviously learnt from their previous misgivings - Managing to slowly eradicate each and every officer in the field. We'll need some new tactics when dealing with these fellas in the future.
Commendations
I'd like to commend the efforts of a certain freelancer, Sky.Blue. That freelancer stuck by my side throughout my patrols and was a big help in destroying several hostile ships.

Greetings today my patrol was eventful. I launched my bomber from West Point to respond to a call form a Bretonian Intelligence Survives. He told me that he wanted to give to Norfolk some proto type weapons. I told him the Only way for him to do what he wants in Liberty that he will be under my supervision. I intercepted him at the San Diego Border station were we headed to Norfolk. He Sold his guns and I escorted him back. I took a Little time off. And when out again but this time when I undockd. I saw a Rheinland GB i didn't know what it was doing in Liberty but I shoot it down very fast. I say I because I was the Only Liberty Navy unit that coud have responded. So lets just say that The Rheinland Fleet has one gunboat less. Uploading gun cam shot.

Battle Report;
Today was a fairly hectic day, as usual. Criminals of all colours and stripes, everywhere. That I'm making this report however, means that something more unusual happened.
The incident started with an Independent Miners Guild Zephyr asking for permission to escort a Barge through Liberty space to his destination in Pennsylvannia. After a small amount of consultation, this was denied. Instead, I organised a small force headed by the Maryland to act as a screen for the Barge. Progress was slow through Cortez all the way to Pennsylvannia. As we entered the destination system, we went our seperate ways, but no sooner than the Maryland had broken off had a force of assorted rogues and hackers bore down on it.
Of course, the Maryland scrambled over to the location of the Barge as fast as its cumbersome engines could take it, and we arrived to a highly charged situation. The fighter escort, which had been busy with a seperate rogue force in California, was ordered to make their way to the location of the Barge too.
Ultimately, the mission to protect the barge was a failure. Though the barge was not lost, it was forced to pay off a large part of the attacking force with a fair sum of credits to protect its cargo hold. Fortunately, without the bulk of their force, the Hackers, which werent paid off, could no longer put down the firepower needed to bring it down whilst under fire from the Maryland. Also after that time, the three-fighter formation of Mike Ypsilantis, John Smith and Matt Smith appeared on the scene. Just too late to save the captain of the barge his credits.
There was, however, a small sliver of success. Phate, the well known and infamous Lane Hacker, finally met his maker. It took a disproportionately large amount of firepower to do, but the fault was ultimately his lack of attention in the presence of such a daunting tower of bristling weaponry.
