COMM ID: [color=#99FFFF]Captain Rachel Baker TARGET ID:NAVY COMMAND & GENERAL STAFF SUBJECT:HELLFIRE LEGION ENCRYPTION:Medium PRIORITY:Medium
Today I flew several patrols along the normal routes and for most of my time in Space things were rather uneventful, save for my encounter with a ship called Eternal Nightmare, attacking a Bison near Manhattan, he got away, but so did the Bison, no problem....
Anyway I digress, as I'm sure you're all very well aware, the Hellfire Legion has been increasingly active in the New York system as of late. They seem to be trying to cripple the Capital ship fleets of the Primary and Secondary Fleets. This should be a major concern to every Officer who wears the uniform of the Liberty Navy, today i watched as three Secondary Fleet capital ships were vehemently destroyed by a small Hellfire Legion strikeforce consisting of what I can only assume to be a stolen LABC, and a Pirate Destroyer. Had I been in something other than my Guardian, I would have surely shared the same fate as those Secondary Fleet crews.
After the shooting stopped, I trailed the HFBC-Last Sunrise, and the HFD-Iblis, from a safe distance, into the Colorado system where I eventually lost contact with them. This however, leads me to believe that they must be using a base somewhere in the Colorado system to launch raids into our capitol. Something needs to be done to prevent the continued destruction of our fleet of warships by this internal threat, or we will be at a great disadvantage should the war with Rheinland flare back up. I suggest additional patrols be assigned to the Colorado system to increase our early warning capabilities, and I suggest additional ships be fielded daily in the Capitol system as well, to increase the chances of patrol survivability during such raids. The Hellfire Legion is smart, the ships they have been attacking have seemed mostly to be ships without reinforcements, so again the best suggestion that comes to my mind is to field more ships and deprive the Legion of access to 'targets of opportunity'.
Not one more Naval Officer should die due to a lack of support in FRIENDLY territory. NOT ONE.
