Communications Identification: Admiral Robinson
Target: Liberty forces, specifically navymen John Talon and Darrel Mc'Ely
The increasing activity of all pirates in the house Liberty is an urgent concern, however, our fine navymen are also a concern of ours. Many recommendations have been received by myself and Fleet Admiral Woolsey about a great deal of fine soldiers of Liberty, but only a few promotions can be allocated to the best and finest of these soldiers.
So, it is my distinct pleasure to award navymen John Talon and Darrel Mc'Ely a promotion each, to the rank of lieutenant. Reports and recommendations from those serving alongside you, as well as above you, have been very endearing towards your consistent performance in upholding the law of Liberty, and I have thus deemed it necessary to reward you two for your continued efforts.
Hard times are ahead of us, with more undesirables choosing Liberty as their target. Stand firm, and beat them down until they are dust. Give no mercy.

Today I have, along with a squadron of LSF fighters, encountered a strange looking blue transparent ship that appeared to fly without a pilot. That "Ghost Ship ( Vince.Piccio[101st] )" quickly engaged us into combat and after a long and exhausting battle we finally seemed to be getting he upper hand, but just as we were about to destroy it the ship seemed to have just disappeared. Unfortunately I have lost my ship in that battle and I warn all those who encounter a ship of that description...please beware. That person..or ship, whatever it was, has extremely good fighting capabilities and is a threat to all who encounter him. Do not engage without escorts.
A scan taken on the vessel showed that the transport was carrying counterfeit software. I tried to follow and made the trader to stop, but soon the power given me by Liberty law faded as target entered The Barrier, which was out of jurisdiction of Liberty.
I have warned Bretonia Police Authority of incoming contraband then.
Appearantly bretonians managed to catch the criminal. No doubt, this would have been possible without close cooperation between BPA and LPI departments. Justice triumphs once again, my friends. I have sent congratulations to BPA officer directly.

Officers it has come to my attention that certain independants with Liberty Military ID's are being over-zealous in their duties and destroying vessels in Z21. I would like to note for all that independant lawfuls may continue to operate in Liberty but should be aware that Liberty is run by the SA, LSF and LPI in that order.
All independant police, navy and LSF should obey orders from these factions or risk being stripped of their commision and being declared an enemy of the state. In additon the Goverment has expressed concern at the number of Capital class ships in Liberty, I would like to open this up for discussion. I myself see no need for other factions to bring in large heavily armed warships within our borders. In my opinion all lawful allies should be permitted entry into Liberty but there is no need to bring in Cruisers, Battleships and BattleCruisers. These ships should be for their factions defense and operations in the border and frontier systems, not for flying through the house systems. While their support has been appreciated the Goverment is uncomfortable with these large vessels of war in system.

{OOC} An Admin has expressed his concern at the number of Capital ships within Liberty and commented that Bounty Hunters should be returned to Rostock. I very much agree at this to be honest, we have far too many players flying immensely powerful ships in Liberty that would be more welcome in smaller craft. I see no reason for any Capital class ships in Liberty that do not belong to the SA, LSF, LPI or independants that are RP'ing Liberty Navy or LSF. There really should be no independant Liberty police in Capital ships although I have seen them.
Anyway I am just a Captain and fighter combat instructor, I need the higher ups to give us clear guidence and policy for a way forward.

I concur, Captain Carpenter. It disturbs me (and my officers) to see very large, very mean-looking ships floating around our space. Allied or otherwise, they really should keep them... misunderstandings can lead to war, you see. And war takes the Navy away, so the LPI would really have to start pulling their rank, eh? Just my two donuts. I mean cents.

Dear All,
I would personally like to thank Officer Dennis for his invaluable contribution.
These are the actions that will bring our two sister nations closer.
In the future, I invite all and any Liberty officials to contact any BPA officers regarding such matters.
This is Mathew Anobi, Ensign of the SA, the Mechanics say that my Vessel is unsalvagable and i'll require a New Ship, as soon as i have the proper funds i shall replace my Vessel, in the meantime i'll remain Undercover until further notice.
(Basicly i am bored being 'Undercover' and am going to replace my own ship ASAP.)

Today while on patrol with =LSF=Firebird we entered Zone 21 to gather intel on the known smuggler Zain. Firebird approached the Alaska JG while I stationed myself in stealth mode at the entrance of the perimeter mine field. Shortly after Zain jumped to Alaska a one OTC_ZEUS appeared on my scanners at 13k. This was the same distance as Firebird and the Alaska JG. Within a few seconds and without any com traffic from either ship Firebird had been destroyed. I engaged my engines and headed to the event. On approach I noted Zeus had zero shields and had sustained minor damage. Said ship was flying with Kruger Mineral IFF. With one LSF officer down and the tell tail signs of a battle having just taken place I armed weapons and engaged. Shorty after I engaged; Zeus jumped to Alaska and I pursued. After a lengthy battle LSF and SA ships arrived and Zeus ship was destroyed.
A battle scene investigator was called and after reviewing the wreckage many tons of contraband artifacts were discovered.
Zeus and Kruger Minerals should be considered smugglers at the very least. For in their vile desire to take advantage of Liberty citizens they have shown zero consideration for human life or respect for Liberty officers. With absolute callousness and a desire only to not be caught; they cold bloodedly murdered a Liberty officer who was simply on an information gathering mission.
I suggest our diplomats in Rheinland express our outrage at this criminal behavior from one of their largest corporations and ask for compensation and an official apology for the family of the LSF officer who has died needlessly in defense of his home.
SpaceGhost out.
i concur with what LSF Spaceghost has reported and my deepest respect and sympothy goes out to the LSF firebirds family his death will be dealt with...
I move to put the pilot zain on the liberty forces Kill On Sight list (KOS) and also to make a log on the known smuggler list that this pilot Has also been known to us for smuggling
on another note the traders [Doom] have also been smuggling cardimine into manhattan 4 time in the last two days while i was aboard the LSF Maverick.. so i also move to place these guys on the smuggler list too and also to all pilots that encounter these traders that they will not halt when you tell them too so warn them once if they dont halt open fire
We cant allow this activity to happen anymore these cardimine smugglers are giving this drug to all people on manhattan which i fear that the children of the families of manhattan will also be approached to get into using this drug WE MUST STOP THIS.....
