It was a busy day for the liberty lawfuls. Had several encounters within 3 hours. It all started with me and a couple of fellow officers doing some embargo enforcing - cought a trader freighting Super Alloy from Rh - asked him several times to turn around but he didnt comply so we had to take him out:
Then I sighted 2 hostile contacts on the radar, called in for backup. They turned out to be a RM vhf and a pirate fighter. With the assistance of the nearby Mississippi battleship we were able to take them out easily:
Several minutes after that event, our assistance was required in Colorado - there were reported sightings of pirates. Upon our arrival we were assaulted by a Xeno and a lane hacker. Later on another hacker joined the fight. With the partial help of a Junker affected by the fight, the pirates were repelled and eliminated:
A quick overview of my patrols over the last couple days. Had the opportunity to meet many of our new signs and Recruits and head out on patrol alongside with them. Capatin Pearth I believe already covered the skrimish with LR Harlequin while I had Ensign Harmon with me.
One more event was when I was heading back to Manhattan to finish my patrol yesterday, I was jumped by Kurgen and Phosphate. Luck and skill was on my side, as LPI SWAT Aiden Maggard and LPI Captain Sean Toronto arrived to assist in their bombers and helped destroy Kurgen in his gunboat. Phosphate ran after his friend was out of commission.
I hope this would be insignificant, however, an interesting man by the name of Llyod Tesaract has been around New York lately showing suspicious behavior. Tracking him near restricted area, he claimed that he sees "Light" and has brief flashes of pain. Hoping to cure him of this, I led him to the Battleship Missouri where he jumped away. Hoping to catch this madman, I jumped to West Point and back to Manhattan where along the way, the fight with Kurgen occured.
Hope to continue to see our newcomers out in the field. See you out there.
As I believe Captain Kreagan will report today patrols as well, I will cover the patrols which I did alone earlier today.
Between plane
t Manhattan and Fort Bush, the LPI found a xeno, caled XA-Ringneck, they were 3 against 1, so they seemed to have it under control, but soon someone called Razgriz-1 joined the battle, on the xeno side. The LPI suffered one lost, before I could get there, that Razgriz was a missile boat. I engaged him, and I showed him how the CDs work, and let him kill himself. Me and another LPI keeped fighting the xeno, and minutes later we took him down.
After that, me and another ensign, Tood Blackburn, went to Texas to enforce the embargo, a while after we came there, we got reinforcements: Ensign Mark Harmon, Ensign Kentaurus Toliman, Ensign Hank Kapinos, Lt. Antonio Backus, Lt. Commander Galen Anderson, Captain Bill Kreagan, and Vice Admiral Valence Harper.
It was my first time under Captain's command, and it was a pleasure to be there. Lt Commander Anderson did an excellent work as always. I hope our Captain will do a pertinent report about our activities today.
My shift started when i got into my ship earlier this evening in Virginia. Shortly after getting in, i received a call from =LSF=Internity to help at Manhattan.
Acoording to him, there were 6 unlawful pilots agains 4 lawfulls
By the time i got to the location, the situation had changed drastically,
Internity had to bow out because of severe damages to his ship and 2 unlawfuls had been killed.
I raged into battle, and the remaining three were taken out within the next ten minutes.
During the course of the above mentioned battle, i received a distress call from BAF|Pendragon, which was carrying the Bretonian Ambassador. The BAF vessel was under heavy attack in the ice field in between california minor and magellan gate. The BAF fleet was enroute to bretonia, after a meeting in liberty.
The Attackers, Bellerophon-B and M.Kuwaik (cannot guarantee the correctness of this name, my head is a little fuzzy), one in a Falcata and the other in an eagle had managed to isolate Pendragon, out of a fleet of three, and had it trapped in the field, where the battleship could not be maneuvered easily.
As soon as the battle in New York ended, me ([LN]-Jake.Ryan), LNS-Ithaca, LPI-Aiden.Maggard[S] and LPI-Jerry.Shaw[O] restocked at West Point and proceeded to aid the BAF ships.
I reeached the location and immedeately told Bellerophon-B, who was busy bombarding The Pendragin with SNACs, to disengage. I received no response, so i decided to jump into battle.
I started attacking Bellerophon, and was closely followed by LPI-Jerry.shaw[O], LNS-Ithaca and LPI-Aiden.Maggard[S] in that order.
We started fighting, and i told The Pendragon to get away while we diverted the mercs' attention. It did.
A long and grueling fight followed. After about 5 minutes, i realised that i was being targeted by both the falcata and the eagle. I started dodging a lot, and got carried away. Very soon, i was at a distance of about 3 K from the LPI and 8 K from Ithaca, who was busy fighting a lane hacker gunship which had joined the unlawfuls. By this time, i had very badly damaged M.Kuwaik, and he was on 40 % hull with no regens.
I received word from the BAF vessels stating that they were safe in Leeds by now, so i was assured that this fight was not going to be in vain.
The LPI, who had joined me now, very quickly took out M.Kuwaik, and we started focusing on Bellerophon-B.
Bellerophon-B was targeting me and i was under a constant barrage of Paralyzers and Canonballs.
I was very soon out of all bat/bots, and on 30 % hull with 3 of my guns, 2 debis and a vengeance lost.
I started sending SOS calls in the group. Ithaca responded and told me to come closer. It was 8 K away at the moment, which looked like a very big distance to me. I started thrusting my way to it, thrusting, dropping CMs, dodging, and repeating the whole sequence over and over till i reached ithaca, now at 20 % hull.
|Ageira|Armorer (thanks to him), who was passing by offered to get me full reloads, and he shot off to cali minor, ehich was the closest base. BUt i would not be needing them.
Ithaca supplied me with a full hold of nanobots, which turned the tables on Bellerophon. I twisted around and started barraging im with my guns, which, being just two vengeances, were not so much of a barrage. I rained my canonballs and sunslayers on him, and the LPI guys were really great with their firing.
They got him to 1 % hull,a nd he started fleeing. On seeing that it was left alone, the HAcker Gunship also fled the scene.
We Followed Bellerophon for 5 minutes and killed him in California Minor Space, thus ending the Ordeal.
With the Bretonian embassador safe back home, and the hostiles destroyed, i returned to West point to get my ships repaired, and to seek medical assistance. (nothing major, just a few burns)

Subject: Battle Report- Manhattan
Ensign Toliman Reporting;
Today Liberty forces repelled a xeno attack in the area between Planet Manhattan, Fort Bush and the junker base Rochester.
I arrived late in the battle and Treckstar and Commander MacTavish were engaged with an XA pliot. I observed for a few moments until several other XA showed up on scanners. At this point I engaged to assist. One of the XA pilots were downed, but shortly afterwards Treckstar was forced to eject. MacTavish Downed another XA pilot however was also downed shortly afterwards. At this point, I went on the defensive and started dodging incoming fire.
A passing BH ship attempted to collect a bounty on one of the XA members, however 3 more Xenos ships (unaffiliated with the XA) showed up to reinforce their group. Not long after, the BH ship was downed and I was again forced on the defencive. Thankfully, two LSF agents responded to the area and engaged the hostle targets. A NGS Gunboat attempted to assist us, but became cannon fodder due to the sheer numbers of attacking Xenos.
An LSF agent managed to down an XA pilot and the remaining was forced to flee. However there still remained two un-taged Xenos that remained in the battle area. An LSF ship was downed and forced to eject, the remaining LSF Agent was Internity. He and I managed to take down one of the Xeno Ships. Having taken heavy battle damage and out of supplies, I transferred over my remaining Nanobots to his ship so his ship would hold together. The final Xenos Pilot eventually fled.
As I understand it, all downed personnel were safely transferred to Manhattan for medical treatment and debriefing. I know there are not many details in this report and I ask those involved to help elaborate on the missing information. Medical Technicians on Manhattan suspect I have a mild concussion from the battle and may have trouble recalling recent events in detail.
On a side note:
Before I engaged the Xeno targets, I saw a [GST] tagged ship pass directly below the fight towards Rochester (and the suspected location of the Colorado Jumphole) I was going to engage until I saw the incoming XA wave. This causes me great concern because before he passed, he bragged about dropping a load of cardimine on Manhattan. Ladies and Gentlemen, something must be done about this. They constantly break the trade embargo, ignore Liberty laws, and apparently now they smuggle contraband onto Liberty bases.

>>>Sunbject : Prelude to the battle described by Ensign Toliman
The battle between Me, Ensign Jonathan Trekster and XA-Xenopeltis started amid a great mass of unlawful outbreaks in New York.
The LSF and LPI agents were busy handling outcasts and hackers, when this xeno showed up.
Ensign Jonathan Trekster engaged the Xeno, and i was lose behind him. The battle continued for 10 minutes, with severe disturbances caused due to ion waves. After 10 mminutes, Ensign Trekster sent a distress call over group channels saying that he did not have any bats/bots left. I was the junior there, so transferred my remaining 35 bots to Mr Trekster.
After about another 15 minutes of dodging and shooting, i took a mine, without a shield and that did me in. It gladdens me to see that Mr Trekster and Mr MacTavish were able to take the Xeno out. A passing universal convoy dropped me off at West Point, and im Locked, Loaded and ready to rumble again.
Today numerous terrorists invaded New York, hell-bent on destruction and terror. On board the Nevada, battle-stations were called and we fueled for immediate departure. Before we even left Norfolk, two Battlecrusiers had gone down to the might of the armada. Until other re-enforcements could arrive, the Nevada was left to defend the entire of New York alone. Knowing we couldn't possibly defeat the invaders, Commodore Stevenson decided to stay "off the radar" and pick up pods with survivors.
After picking up all known survivors, the Nevada set course for Manhatten and found an astonishing sight: A Lane Hacker Spyglass "Libertine", an Osiris-class Battleship "Hellbound", an unknown cruiser-class "Mon'Star", all protected by a score of skilled fighters and bombers. After some time, the Libertine disappeared off sensors, leaving the fearsome Hellbound and Mon'Star remaining.
We then received an emergency mayday at West Point from a battlecruiser, callsign LNS-Calypso. Immediately we took off towards the battle and engaged both enemy targets. The Hellbound's hull was waining and a mortar ripped through, decimating the strickened vessel. Moments after, the Calypso was blown apart. Fortunately, we were there to tractor in the escape pods.
Now all the was left was the Mon'Star...
Just as Commodore Stevenson ordered the turrets to target the doomed vessel, an ion storm hit quick and fast, leaving all ships in the area completely blind. Once the ion storm receded, the Mon'Star had disappeared.
Its gone...but not forever. Today we mourn the loss of the men and women who gave their lives defending against this onslaught.

--Begin Report--
It's been quite a week for the Navy, and as I am glad to inform, one that again proves the worth of every officer on duty in the past seven days. Although no strikes were performed, all of the patrol wings that flew in these days saw action and success, some of them even commanded by lower-ranked officers under my command. This is part of a training initiative I developed to provide the entire Mid Command and officers below that rank live experience in strikecraft tactics and leadership skills.
First in order was a patrol assignment:
-Romeo wing, led by Lt. Cmdr. Galen Anderson and joined by Lt. Antonio Backus and Ensigns Alexander Casero and Hank Kapinos.
-Bravo wing, led by myself, with Ensigns Blackburn and Toliman as my wingmates.
Whilst Romeo wing was patrolling the California system, I led Bravo to the Pennsylvania system to confirm reports of a miner opening fire on civilian vessels. We confronted the miner near Erie orbit, in which the pilot repeatedly opened fire on Ensign Blackburn. Since the miner had not responded to most of our hails, I ordered the wing to move on towards New York, but the terrorist nearly managed to disable the Ensign's fighter. Having no choice, I gave clearance to fire and we pursued the vessel until it was destroyed in the northern ice cloud.
Afterward, Lieutenant Anderson was given command of Bravo wing, and we were patrolling the Texas system until we detected a huge vessel with a transponder of Junker origin, which was half-filled with the stench of Cardamine. Upon the request that the pilot dropped the drug load, we were met with live fire, and had no choice but to take him down on Anderson's signal.
The next day, I personally led Papa wing, with Ensign Kapinos as my wingman, to patrol the California and New York systems. Upon returning to New York, we detected an enemy light fighter, Scimitar-class, near Manhattan orbit. The pilot was asked to drop several Navy officers that were being held prisoner in the Outcast's cargo bay and to leave the area. With the refusal to comply, we had no choice but to destroy his vessel. The escape pod's homing beacon was unable to trace, foreshadowing a later encounter with the same criminal.
We were later joined by Lieutenant Commander Malrone, whom I assigned command of Papa wing. We met officer Mantor of the 128th along the way, who aided Kapinos in attempting to destroy the known criminal Spear's fighter. I was ordered by Malrone to patrol the Texas system whilst the skirmish took place, but Ensign Kapinos was no match for the skills of the Xeno. After receiving confirmation through the Ensign's escape pod, I was ordered back to New York and managed to destroy the Eagle before any further damage was done, in a pursuit that ended near Ouray in the Colorado system.
In our most recent patrol, I had command of Tango wing, assisted by the Indiana and the Retribution. The mission was a success. The destruction of a hostile mercenary ship piloted by "Thayne Rich", who is know to be shot on sight, was next in line. This was followed by our second encounter with the Outcast scout Phosphate, whom we managed to neutralize after nearly half an hour of endless shooting.
After completing a solo patrol mission the day before yesterday, I picked up a distress call from a trader near Manhattan orbit and was forced to destroy the aggressor, another Xeno Eagle already known for frequent preying on civilian and commercial craft.
My commendations to all the brave men that flew by my side during the week. It has been a pleasure to defend the interests of our House alongside these officers.

What the heck was this yesterday? First this heavy explosion on New York and then an enormous count of Nomad vessels (Keepers and allies) appeared in New York. I guess they were controlled by some nearby 'brain nomad' identifyed as Kuraine.
I took out the vessel WindTalker with a few shots and focussed on a Nomad vessel immediately.
Unfortunately my ship suffered from a hull breach some minutes after.
