Greetings Commander,
I was busy on a patrol through Alpha today, when my long range scanners alerted me as to the presence of an IMG Gunboat in Tau 37, Callsign: =CR= Longsword. I immediately set course for said system accompanied by 101st pilot Raul Sanchez and Lumina. After a brief search the target's location was established and the battle commenced. The target tried some evasive tactics but to no avail, he fell quickly to our guns.

Greetings Commander,
I encountered a IMG Albatross Battlecruiser at Malta today, Callsign: =Hyperion=. Apparently he was looking for some of our sacred orange. According to reports he also fired on one of our pilots when his request was denied. As I was captaining the magnificent Dies Irae his death came quickly. The Dies Irae of course, sustained no damage.
This is Zacarias Friedan, Captain of the RoS flagship PuppetMaster.
I congratulate the 101st Fighter Wing on the deployment of their latest Dreadnaught Class vessel. Although, in my professional opinion her captain needs a little bit more time to become familiar with the ship's operations. Let me know if you need more training boy.

There is little to report today.
Lane Hacker NATE had two Corsair "guns" mounted. He claimed to be replacing them with Krakens, and that he had salvaged them.
A Bounty Hunter Battleship attacked me outside Malta. I cannot remember the ship's ID, but a few SOB pilots responded. This captain was, even by Bounty Hunter standards, intellectually deficient. When he is next seen, I suggest deploying a wing of Falcatas to destroy his ship, his escape pod, and his corpse for good measure. Were it not for the captain's cowardice a lone Sabre could probably take out this ship. He fired on me with neither warning nor provocation, and was still unable to do any real damage.
Scans indicated the presence of a CR transport in Tau-37. Due to some meddling freelancers, I was unable to reach it before it got away.
This salvaged communication unit needs a few further adjustments, but the Zoners seem to know what they're doing with these. Ishida out.
Communication link closed.

Another day, another patrol. Several new wrecks...
First one was an miner gunstar, call sign Iblis. Target entered Alpha using the Tau 37 jump hole. From there it was transmitting some kind of unknown miner propaganda. No one listened... Together with the Executioner from the SoB we engaged him and kicked him from Alpha to Tau 37. Target tried to flee, but a cruise disruptor fired by Executioner killed his engines. We were also joined by another outcast pilot here. Iblis had no chance and fell quickly, causing no damage to our ships. Iblis
In his last moment the captain also transmitted something unusual, most likely more miner propaganda. Good thing the outcasts don't listen to such lies. IMG Propaganda
Sadly we will never know what he meant by that as his ship was destroyed and his pod saved by the Zoners.
Several hours later we were again attacked by the brave hunter Kuun Lan. After some running from us he was caught and his ship was destroyed. Our side had no casualty's. It is amazing to see all those wrecks the hunters left in Alpha.
Last one was a corsair captain, piloting a cruiser class ship, known as adaniv. Palermo base reported his sightings and i quickly moved to intercept. I was joined by a Hessian Forgotten Soul and Diver from the SoB. Corsair was found near the Palermo base, and was engaged. After some time his ship was destroyed, but once again we couldn't find his escape pod. adaniv

***** Subject : Corsair Criuser, callsighn 'Smooq'
At approximaltey 1:30GMT Malta time long range scanners picked up an unidentified and un-cataloged contact in Omicron 85, designation 'Smooq'
Vessel was immediatley contacted and asked his purpose in said system : answer - "Just exploring". Vessel was also asked for his affiliation and vessel class and size : answer - "comms colosing"
I immediatley entered 85, and upon arrival announced on system wide comms for all intruders to leave be be destroyed. Subject then responded saying that he was leaving. After making initial contact, a NKF transponder was noticed on his ship (actual scans were unavialable due to radiation interfecece so id is underterminded), and it was a Corsair Cruiser. I began to engage, and contined to pruse to Alpha, where i called for any available assistance - several SOB pilot reported, but were unable to arrive in time. I followed the contact to Omicron Eta, where he boasted about taking an undiclosed nu,ber of Guard pilots hostage and selling them fror slaves on Crete.
Having no support nearby, I contaced the captain of the MNS Capriccio for additional support, and Docked with his vessel near the mine field. The Capriccio gave a fine chase, but broke off prusuit when the vessel entered Gamma. The Capriccio returned to Eta, then launched the Captains Yacht, a Gunboat called the Lil Bastage, a Gunboat loaded with Missiles to deal with any agressors, and proceeded back to Theta, in hope of running into Smoog and rescuing the hostages.
Although we were unable to rescue the hostages, we did manage to take 27 of our own while conducting recon patrols. These prisoners will be sent to Corsica for interrogation, and should Smooq ask for an exchange, i suggest we be prepared to give him more than he askes for, in the form of particle beams!!!!

Commanders,
Earlier today I was patrolling the Tau 37 system. When I was close to Freeport 10, I noticed a Ship on my scanner, A BHG Battle Cruiser with a single fighter escort. The BHG Ship named "Swat_TT" also scanned to have a dozen of our pilots captured in it's hold. I made a clear & to the point statement to the ships captain to release our brothers. His response was some jiberish I could not understand But did understand the word "DIE".
At this point I lost common sense & began to attack the BHG Battle Cruiser with my Sabre. Trying to free our brothers. I was assisted by an OC indy in a LR Gunboat by the name of DeathKnight.
I took 1/4 of his hull out before the Cruiser got in a lucky shot & took my Sabre out from under me.

Grave news, it would seem zoners abandoned their neutrality and are now attacking us.
Yesterday during my patrols in Omicron 85 i encountered a zoner ship. Zoner with a call sign SS_Copenhagen, flying a bounty hunter gunboat GBH3 Orca class. The captain was asked to leave but the response was weapon fire directed at my falcata. I quickly engaged and called for backup, a SoB ship Ares. Target then tried to flee but my cruise disruptors kept his engines down. We would have destroyed the so called "zoner" if it weren't for a really big Ion Storm. After it passed target was nowhere to be found.
Another interesting thing i noticed. While he was shooting at me, the rest of the guard patrols simply ignored him.
Below is the evidence i took with my ships camera. It captures his zoner identification and his weapon fire towards me. SS_Copenhagen

While going through intelligence reports during my shift today I ran across this report in your files. Normally it would have had little meaning, but thins are never as they first appear in my line of work.
I was contacted by a BLS trafficker alernting me to a large vessel broadcasting a BHG transponder code. After reporting to Tau 37 to investigate and starting a patrol pattern, a contact designated "Swat-TB_(K)" was sighted near Falkland Base. I unfortunatley was never able to get within scanning range, as when I announced my presence, he moored and left for the bar. No transmissions came from his vessel the entire time.
The Ship was large, destroyer calss or larger to be sure. This, combined with the report from the SOB, indicate a possible new threat to the Outcast, with Cali Base and Planet Malta in particular. All vessels bearing any from of "Swat" in their designation should be considered as hostile until scanned for security reasons
There was also an incident in Alpha today concerning a lone Corsair fighter class vessel - designation (SE)McLane. I am very certain this is not the McLane that is a true friend of the BLS, as he was fully loaded with Corsair equipment and ID. Upon further inspection, it was also noted he was carrying several spirit cannons mounted under his wings. Subject fled to Omicron 90, where he was quickly destroyed and his cannons return to their rightful owners. All apoligies were given to the spirits present at the time, and none followed us once we left thier space.
Lastly, there was a failed terrorist attack on Malta today. Unregistered contact stated "Goodbye Malta" and stated something about a mix of MOX and explosives about to be detonated in the skies or Malta. All units were ordered to intercept, but do to the reports of a pending Corsair attack from Theta, our forces were unable to respond in time. Upon arival at Malta, Debris from an explosed ship was found in orbit near the Docking Rings. The good news - if any - if that the explosion happened far to high in orbit (over 1k from the atmosphere) to affter this seasons Cardamine crops. No survivors or pods were found in the wreckage, only unspent MOX which was quickly salvaged for general use of defensive fleets.

Dear esteemed leader,
consider this resignation immediate. The tides of my life have shifted, I now see my self moving forward, not laying stagnant. Expanding, learning, evolving. And as such I feel it is time I take my leave of the 101st Ghosts of Razgriz. I apologise if this comes as a shock, you have been a fair and kind commander, and have given home to me, it is simply my time.
Stagnation is the ultimate disease that rots all foundations, my brothers. I bid you all a kind farewell. Should you need me, you may find me amongst the ranks of the Reapers of Sirius.
