Legionnaires,

Today Battleship Pandion located a large group of the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army roaming around in Liberty, they were tracked down in the Colorado system. A strike wing was sent out to send our beloved 'visitors' back to where they came from.

The wing was split up and different search patterns were created, however, it took us some time to find the SCRA. We caught them while they were busy shooting the Liberty Navy and even succeeded to destroy a Dreadnought, which can be seen in the following guncam image.

LNS-Loveland going down.

The remaining SCRA vessels started their retreat and we started to pick the nearest target.

The first target.

As you can see, that pilot was flying an Insurgent Very Heavy Fighter and he wasn't able to avoid our fire. In addition to that he was overusing his mines. Go figure the result...



While most of them managed to run away we were able to chase down two more of them, a Revolution class Bomber and an Eagle.





Any remaining forces of the Liberty Navy had already returned to base long ago and there was no point to chase them. The mission was a success and we returned to Ouray.

High Command will analyze the events of the past weeks, as well as today's events and award medals to those who deserved it.

What already has been decided are the promotions.

With an extremely good performance over the last months, Fleet Admiral Marco Sera has been promoted to [color=#33CC00]Grand Admiral for a trial period of one month. We will have a close look on what you will do in this month and decide if you are worthy to keep the rank after that trial period.

Fleet Captain Dane Kinnaird has been promoted to [color=#33CC00]Fleet Commander.
PFC Ryan Williams has been promoted to Lieutenant.

Voss agreed to pay for your drinks at Ouray, enjoy your victory, Legionnaires.

Signed,
Cristina Valeria Hunter
Executive Commander

Lieutenant Williams here,

Quick action report, I picked up a distress call from PFC Anderson and I was close enough to intercept. When I got to the location, Planet Manhattan, he was engaged by a gunboat and guardian and had been heavily damaged, I ordered him to disengage and head for the Colorado jump hole while I distracted the gunboat.

Once I lost the gunboat, I hurriedly tracked down Anderson again and saw him fleeing from the guardian, which wasn't damaged at all, I again ordered Anderson to disengage and jump while I engaged the guardian personally. In the end, one of my mines took both of us out, luckily Anderson had returned soon enough and recovered my pod, nothing else to report.

Calder speaking. This report is coming in a day late but is worth noting regardless, Yesterday morning I launched from Ouray and took out a strikeforce consisting of six sabres, piloted by Fleet Captain Dale, Fleet Captain Carse, Major Fox, Lieutenant Barnes, a random PFC piloting Hawkeye who kept making weird quacking noises, and myself in my personal fighter Phobos.

[color=#FF6600]Thankfully being the old man with failing reflexes that I am, I was forced to get the Ven'Gyr out when the capital ships started coming out of the woodwork.

The engagement lasted approximately an hour and a half at Norfolk's perimeter and ended with two dreadnoughts, the Nikon and Resurrection and a carrier, the Nero, scorched with help from Dale on the Lake Crescent.

After that the situation shifted to more of a snub and gunboat furball, and I pulled the Ven'Gyr out and took command of the Incursus, returning to the scene to annihilate a battlecruiser and provide fire support for our snub wings until they sanitized the area within a matter of minutes.

I called the RTB after that as Pandion's LRS system was clear. The Legion sustained no losses. That is all. Calder out.

Rogue transports carrying Blood Diamonds alongside the RF and the SCRA. As soon as Legion forces made contact, they ran silent and scattered. While the Rogues dealing in BDs is nothing new, seeing them escorted by RF vessels and accompanied by SCRA forces is troubling to say the least. The last time I checked, the SCRA are about as lenient on piracy as we are. Perhaps this has changed?

I want your opinions on the matter within the next twenty four hours. Calder out.

After extensive interim discussion the Legion High Command has agreed on a proposition to the Vagrant Raiders, Overlord Spike.

[color=#FFBB00]As our relations with your biological selves are currently relatively cold on a large scale bar the recent events that heated them up, figuratively speaking, our approach will be a cautious and slow one. Our collective selves understand your position and we do understand perfectly that given what the Rogues have offered you and supply you with you do not wish for your relations with that organizations to deteriorate at the time being, especially if your biological selves have no other alternative to acquire what is given elsewhere.

As such, Legion forces are to avoid the Liberty Rogues should Raider elements be present in their immediate vicinity. Field commanders will be instructed to either put strike-missions on hold, or give the Raider forces present an advance warning so the latter can clear the area should direct action by the Legion be necessary without delay. My artificial self however will warn you not to use said fore-warnings to the Rogues' advantage if it can be avoided.

Secondly, as your biological self mentioned the Cardamine and Slave trade to not be profitable with too much competition in the field to boot, the Legion will understand this as the Raiders not partaking in that trade, especially not in Liberty space. It goes without mention that all field commanders can differentiate between a smuggling-shipment of the Cardamine substance, or personal supply. The latter shall not be of any issue at all times. Nor shall be acts of piracy against -foreign- corporations as long as they are not conducted while Legion forces are present in the area.

Third is tactical assistance. Field commanders of the Legion will be instructed to provide limited tactical aid and intelligence to present Raider elements as they see fit. On a limited basis, field commanders may also conduct joint strike operations with Raider elements as is necessary, and should a withdrawal from the field or otherwise occur, Legion forces will notify Raider elements of such.

Much as the Legion has its resources and military might, we're aware of our history, and we can understand the struggle and constant pressure that warfare puts on the former two. Your biological self's wish to conserve the Raider's assets as good as circumstances allow is none different to the Legion's, and field commanders will take this into account when making their decisions.

Task-Force Gladius' assigned Battleships Manticore and Minotaur recently saw action in Omega-7, a contested region of space bordering Rheinland as a result of a large Military presence having amassed in that sector and its bordering ones.

This came as a result of several frantic communications between Hessian forces having been picked up from long-range, those suggesting that a major Military offensive was underway. As Gladius' previously undertook a kind of joint-operation with elements of the Red Hessian Army, resulting in overwhelming success given the circumstances, the commanding officers of the Manticore and Minotaur saw fit to repay the Army's favor in kind by assisting them in defense of their territories. After arriving in Omega-11, only to find it mostly deserted, contact scarce Hessian ships present in the area at the time was established and both Battleships ventured into Omega-7 to conduct an assault on the Military's forces.

<span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%][color=#FFFFEE]α [color=#FFFFDD]β γ

The damage caused was great, nullifying the Battleships Skorzeny, Sitzen and Feldheim in the process, and allowing local allied forces to further destroy up to another two, if not three Cruisers before the Military overpowered the remaining allies with their unending numbers.

However the cost was great. Both the Manticore and Minotaur suffered critical damage and were effectively rendered inoperable. What is left of them is currently returning to the Pacifica perimeter to conduct major repairs, with hundreds injured and a so far unconfirmed number of casualties. High Command views this as a pyrrhic victory. The drastic action this assault represents may have bought the Hessians time, but it has significantly weakened the Legion's position in the Pacifica Perimeter for the time being.

Luckily the strike-craft escorts present aboard both the Manticore and Minotaur were left to safe-guard Pacifica and to continue patrols in Hudson and in Bering, ensuring that some military presence may be maintained at all times, with no casualties in the ranks of the latter.

Lieutenant Williams here,

I was patrolling Colorado alone when I got a distress call from Legion forces in New York, it seems a naval cruiser had engaged AR Unit Theta One, yet by the time I got there the Abaddon had already found and engaged, effectively destroying said cruiser.

We were then ordered by the Commander to do a quick patrol in New York, nothing interesting there, yet a particular conversation with Newark tower, the guy must have been drunk.

Myself and Theta One were then ordered to head to California to seek and destroy a CGS vessel, but instead of that, we found a Bounty Hunter Bottlenose which engaged Theta One, I quickly opened fire in sync with orders. A few minutes later another AR Unit, Omega One entered the scene and assisted with the first bottlenose, yet before we could destroy it, an Orca came into view to help kill us. Yet it didn't take long to finish them both off without any losses, although some damage.

We had set course for Ouray afterwards, that's pretty much it.

Oh wait, almost forgot, apologies. When we had destroyed the bottlenose and engaged the Orca, a naval Havoc came out of nowhere and assisted us in destroying the Orca for some reason. We didn't interfere until the Orca was destroyed, and made quick work of the Navy pilot as well.

Anders here.

Went around for a quick run through New York, and hit paydirt almost immediately. A Congress Yacht floating around Manhattan, which I took advantage of and engaged quickly. However, it managed to dock before I could even burn through a few hull plates. After that, [HF]-Eatsomechikn came around to assist me with a Bounty Hunter Orca, and a Navy Eagle.
After that, we resupplied and got backup to help get several junkers that showed up. After a brief search, we got a lock on a Ravens Talon, and we chased to West Point, where is was forced to dock. After running of said RT, we locked down the system for a while, and while doing so I took down a Rogue Barghast. Unfortunetly, we didn't find anything afterwards, and we RTBed. However, a few hours later, I got notice of
some Outcasts in Colorado. Glaive, Deimos and I went out to purge, and found a Tridente, Falcata, and Sabre engaged with a Liberty Gunboat. The Tridente, followed by the Liberty Gunboat. Next was the Falcata, and finally the Sabre.

Enemy Casualties;
Congress Yacht and Raven's Talon (Both forced to dock)
Outcast Tridente, Sabre, Falcata
Bounty Hunter Gunboat (Forced to dock)
Liberty Navy Eagle, Eagle.



Legion Casualties;

None

Anders out.

***INCOMING TRANSMISSION***

Piece of crap transmitter......

St- Uh, Major Beumont here.

Went out for a patrol since its been a while. Ran into some fun at Bush with Fleet Captain Guy Dale. Fun as in a =LSF= Gunboat and Fighter, and a BHG Fighter named 'Fluffy'. There was also someone named 'Jimmeh Engvall' Or something like that. Anyway, he was in a Gunboat and wasn't bothering us, so we didn't bother him. He even took care of the Gunboat for the most part. First to fall was the LSF Fighter, and then their Gunboat. The hunter fell back and resupplied, and came with backup in the name of another BHG Fighter named 'Bunny'. After a bit of fighting, and backup in the form of Theta 1, we managed to take down Bunny, and critically damaged Fluffy. He yawns for a few seconds, then continues. On the way back, we ran into a BNG Fighter. I told Dale and Theta 1 to go back to resupply. After a bit of talking, and realizing I'd stalled as much time as I could, I opened fire on the BNG. The fight lasted for a bit until another Navy fighter showed up and opened fire on me as well. Although I was missing my turret and guns, I still managed to drop a mine on the BNG Fighter. I went on to duel the LN Fighter. However, I ran into trouble in the form of a Solaris Dreadnought and LABC that [color=#999999]opened fire on my lone, and critically damaged Sabre. Since I had already damaged the LN Fighter, I hit cruise, which amazingly still worked, and headed back to Ouray, which is my current location.

Can someone from Vespucci deliver some Hull Panels that aren't patched together with duct tape? And some new weapons, all of mine except the Mini Razor were blown off by mines. He chuckles, and sighs heavily.
