And here we go again.

First up is a fight with some Outcasts in Tau 37. We met Sebastian Cavani of the 101st in Tau 23. Sol offered him a duel, but when he started to lose he jumped to 37.
We followed him and were welcomed by a small group of Outcasts.
Long story short, we moved them to their escaped pods, while Cavani escaped back to Omicron Alpha.

* * * * * * *

The next incident is somewhat unusual. We saw two Order pilots fighting with Outcasts in Tau 37 and decided to help them.
Together we disposed of all the Outcasts in the system. The Order pilots however didn't tell us what they were doing in the Taus.

* * * * * * * * * *

A few days later I spotted a slaver convoy in Tau 23. A borderworlds transport accompied by a pirate transport and a lane hacker gunboat. An unusual combination..
The transport pilot did not think about stopping, so I opened fire and destroyed his vessel. The gunboat was a bit harder to crack, but it also got destroyed. The pirate transport escaped at first, but it came back to help it's friend. Needless to say it soon exploded as well.
I'd like to thank Mara Arin at this point who saved 3000 slaves and brought them safely to the station. I picked up the remaining ones and set them free.

* * * * * *

Last but not least some action from Clarence Rowe. He picked up some reports of pirate activity in Tau 23.
He found the pirates and made short work of them.

* * * *

And that's it for this report. More are sure to follow.

Oy oy, this is Sol Fenrir with the latest updates. Can't get a hold on to Rowe lately so I am submitting this report myself... I think he found himself a girlfriend or something.

The first case is a patrol started with your pilot Brigid O'Shaunessy and Clarence Rowe of the Vigilantes. They found an outcast bomber in Tau 37 and forced it to take refuge in Freeport 11. Then they joined up with the rest of the Vigilantes, Tavish Degroot and Ai Nakamura, and extended their patrols to Tau 31. They found an Outcast Tridente there, chased it to Leeds after the engagement started in 31, and blew it up quickly.

After recieving a distress signal from IMG pilot Pete Levine, I set my course to his location to help him. I saw four outcasts, one tridente, three fighters taking on Pete in his bomber. I rushed in the fight and it wasn't an easy one. The enemy tridente was lost in the ion storms and Pete also had troubles with it before being able to free his ship from its effects. As Pete was fighting the ion storms, another outcast joined to make it a four on one. Luckily the newcomer scimitar was double mined by me and his friend, allowing me to collect his repairs to stay on the battlefield longer. Once Pete recovered himself he shot one of the remaining fighters with an accurate SNAC. And when Tavish also rushed in, there was no hope left for them. We took down three outcasts, two of them members of the XTF, and forced another XTF to dock.

In our routine patrols in Tau 23, we have caught a cardamine smuggler. He was a clever one and was willing to drop his cardamine. We destroyed 540 units of cardamine in total.

A day later we have recieved another report of pirate activity around Java. We sent two bombers to help the IMG forces quickly secure the area. The Tridente had the same transmitter as the one we shot down earlier. It took refuge in Cali after we gave it enough pain.

We have seen that slaver girl Adorra again around Java. I wanted to have my peeps have a training so I sent them one by one. The slaver girl built a minefield around her and Tavish fell for the trick in his heavy fighter. Then I sent Nakamura who used the slaver girl's mine field to her own advantage, it only took about 4 seconds to blow up Adorra after the engagement started.

First thing was a pretty long day, together with a trigger happy bounty hunter orca, named "Just Thrent". Him being easy on the trigger finger was..probably a great asset. In short, a tridente along with a bunch of sabres and falcatas ended up wrecked.

☻-☻-☻-☻-☻-☻-☻-☻-☻-☻-☻-☻


A while later, La.Sensual decided to show up, see how things are. Things ended with him running. We think he should join some racer league.

☻-☻


The next day, a 101st made it's way to java. For some reason, a corsair was there too, apparently looking to have a chat with us and some IMG members.
Atleast he was ready to be as trigger happy as that previously mentioned orca gunboat.
He didn't get to make his triggers happy, though. A IMG fighter guided him out of the system via 37.
As for the rest, the 101st popped. Nothing unusual.

☻-☻


The outcast happy fun time goes on, especially after blowing up "monty", a outcast ranseur. It went on with a falcata, roc and a storta.

Furthermore, I don't know what happend here.

Hello, this is Clarence Rowe of the LS Vigilantes with the latest action reports.

-
We have recieved reports of Outcast activity in Tau 23, they were out to harm your miners, so we scrambled a Vigilante wing and with help of the local miners we drove the outcasts off. Two Tridentes and one Sabre were shot down, we forced a bomber to dock, but we couldn't take down an Outcast with a Zoner Corvo, as our forces were already damaged enough.

Yesterday there was an amassing force of Outcasts with some freelancers in Tau 37. We took a look in there to see them already fighting. There were some snubs, a Dreadnought, and a Destroyer fighting two freelancer gunboats. IMG and LS forces rushed in and took advantage of the situation to clear the Taus, which resulted in victory.

Next one is the random troublemaker that had been stopped. We recieved reports of him shooting a miner in Tau 23. After he had been found and engaged, seeing that he is outmacthed, he quickly turned tail and took refuge in Cali.

Two 101st sabres were running their mouths in front of Java, offering our pilots a battle. As soon as Sol undocked, he rushed to them and the engagement started. We soon forced them to Tau 37, where they brought in more support to take LS forces down. In reply to that we called IMG forces, and Surujin-37 offered us his help. It became an easy battle then, unexperienced 101st and Outcast forces were being gunned down rather easily without any form of organization that could be read from them. Soon they started to make their way to Malta, and we jumped through to chase them as we had enough of their insolence. Some of them took refuge in the planet, some we destroyed in front of Malta. I hope this is a good enough message for them.

We were having a chat with an old friend in 37, then four Outcasts jumped in to join the conversation. We replied back with harsh words to their harsh words and soon, like after every heated discussion, we decided to prove our point with our guns. We were taking them very easily, yet a very unlucky chain of events made us lose two of our members in minutes. Tavish got himself killed by an accidental mine while he still had most of his bots. Nakamura's flight stick was malfunctioning and the 101st scum took advantage of that to gun her ship down so unsportingly. Johanna and I took three of them down, then another outcast jumped in... we already lost our bots by that time, so we jumped back to Tau 23. While retreating, I took down another one of them, but another one showed up, then a nomad... Order peeps sniff those nomads out, and one Order bomber appeared to help us, then Surujin-37 and an IMG pilot. The nomad and an XTF were promptly destroyed. Soon we were chasing the remaining 101st all the way back to his planet Malta, where he ran his ship to its athmosphere rather than being destroyed by us.

Sol caught a cardamine smuggler in Tau 37. After chasing it mocking through Tau 23 and 29, he finally destroyed it after it became obvious that the guy won't drop the cardamine no matter what Sol did.
2996 units of cardamine were destroyed.

Here is the counting of our reports for this period. Enemy destructions and docks are counted as they are documented in the reports. Not all destructions made by allies in a specific case are included in our reports, only the ones included are counted, as separating their claims from our report would remove a crucial point of the report case.

Vessels Destroyed by LSV: 55
Vessels Destroyed by Allies: 5
Vessels Forced to Dock: 12
Slaves Rescued: 3000
Cardamine Destroyed: 3536

Johanna here to report the latest activity and the results by our oporations in the Taus.

To begin with some good news, I am glad to report we successfully stopped a smuggler's cardamine transport. Strife was able to convince the smuggler to drop the load with some words of the IMG as well, so we were able to destroy it. later.

Not much later, an Outcast Sabre appeared in Tau 23. Rowe chased the pilot down to Tau 37, where he destroyed the Outcast pilot's ship in a duel.

Later then we noticed a convoy of the Liberty Rogues flying through the system. Obviously they wanted to go to Omicron Alpha. But they immediately turned around when they saw my ship. Luckily I was quick enough to get a look into the cargo hold to prove, the Pirate train was carrying slaves, a lot of them. Unfortunately the transport made it to dock, so we attacked the escorts instead to take out any further threat. In the heat of the battle some XTF showed up and tried to help them, the Rogues, out. However, they didn't manage to get to their goal, got distracted and destroyed one by one. When chasing them back to their orange hell, Malta, we destroyed an Outcast gunship, that was fleeing as well.

Another time, when Sol was alone on patrol, he encountered a Roc with Outcast affiliation, that was flying through Tau 29. After some time the enemy was shot down. Later in time then, we found a pirate in a Roc in Tau 23. Sol said, the pirate would have chased a miner and challenged him with a duel. However, not much time later, the Roc laid in pieces and we headed back to Java.

When I was alone on patrol in Tau 23 some time later, the IMG forces and me spotted an Outcast Gunboat on the scanners. Not really showing any intention why the ship came there, we opened fire on it as it made clear it didn't want to leave the system. Soon it was space dust and everyone calmed down again.

After the thing with the appearing Gunboat of the Outcasts happened, I wanted meet my friends at Java when suddenly a Junker with a slave liner appeared. After a quick reaction we were able to disrupt the liner. However, it had a lot of armor and resisted our salvos as the captain didn't want to drop the cardamine. The liner managed to dock on Cali, so we reatreated after a bit of making sure the liner would stay there. Shortly after, I went to Tau 37 with my friends and found an Outcast Gunboat, which was pretty much destroyed after a short fight.

And now something, that happened just an hour ago. We received an emergency call from Miss O'Shaunessy from Tau 37 and were already moving to the hole when she jumped through, followed by an Outcast Destroyer, a Junker Frigate and a I'ane of a Gallic Junker. Miss O'Shaunessy got refilled by allied forces and we made them retreat to Tau 37. However, we were able to disable the Junker Frigate before easily because it was already damaged. Then trying to chase the destroyer, we encountered an Outcast Gunboat and La.Sensual at the Freeport instead. It didn't need much time until the fight began and not even a bit later, the Outcast Gunboat was destroyed and La.Sensual was forced to dock.
In terms of the encounter with the Junkers, I will upload the ID's of them here too, in addition to the destroyer and the two gunboats.
