I began my patrol in the New York system where I was tasked by the LNS Wolfhound to help track several illegal ship operating in the New York system. Myself, Pilots Clark, Ross, the LNS Bainbridge and Wolfhound blanketed the system looking for smugglers, pirates or rogues.

We tracked several I.C.E. ships into the Badlands, but did not pursue due to the difficulty of navigation in the anomaly but I did hold position for roughly ten minutes to be sure the I.C.E. vessels held their position before being called away to assist with a smuggler.

When I arrived LNS Wolfhound had already tracked the smuggler who had a single Blood Diamond onboard, which we believed was a tractored in item from earlier in the ship's travels and let them jettison the illegal item before letting them continue on their way.

We then proceeded to track another ship The Hidden Treasure who had illegal equipment on board. We attempted to pursue but they had a head start heading to Rochester. I managed to take a gun cam image, but it was of poor quality and was not sure that I had gotten the image.



After this situation LNS Wolfhound reported the I.C.E. vessels had retreated into Texas and we pursued. We blanketed the system and discovered this ships in the asteroid fields and moved to engage.

Our forces consisted of.
LN-Gabriel Forge
LN- Jorzza Clark
LN- Barney Ross
LN- LNS Bainbridge
LN- LNS Wolfhound

We were also joined by the =CB= LNS Knightmare after we had begun engaging I.C.E forces.

We discovered some fighters and bombers and a destroyer in the asteroid field. Wolfhound ordered our fighters to engage their snubs and used our two gunships to attack the destroyer. This is when the Knightmare joined the engagement and our gunships shifted fire to aid our fighters.

The I.C.E. Kyrios (Destroyer) retreated from the field, and we managed to splash one of their fighters before they fled the system.

Allied casualties were negligible with only some damage reported to the LNS Bainbridge.

This concludes my second report through my training phase of recruitment. With five total hours clocked in on patrol.

Recruit Forge signing off.
