So much has happened in just a few days that reports have been slow, I will fill in the blanks as best I am able.
Overview: Summoned to Liberty space Reason: Incarceration of Maltese forces Date: 02/12/819
Leader: Claes Leslie. Wingmen: Marcio Castro
I was contacted on board the Fantasmi about the two Maltese bombers mentioned in the last report (~Maverick~ and FozBuoy), apparently despite my efforts to help them, they are not intelligent enough to live without being disrespectful to the Rogues. Lord Moka himself contacted me stating he had had enough, I was asked to remove them from Liberty and take them back to Malta immediately and so I set off with signore Castro at once.
We arrived at Alcatraz within an hour and the Rogues had indeed gathered in force for their extradition from Liberty space. As usual neither of them seemed to be able to comprehend why they were being treated the way they were even with mountains of evidence against them. I didnt care, Lord Moka wanted them out, and so out they were going, one way or the other.
I put signore Castro in charge of Fozbuoy and told him that he was to escort the ship to Malta, if he deviated in anyway he was to be executed immediately. I had the unfortunate pleasure of escorting the vessel ~Maverick~ back to Malta, where throughout the entire journey he continued to ask questions both irrelevant and personal ones like a tiny child until we reached the home world.
Before this however Marcio had reported that he had destroyed FozBuoys ship and was bringing his pod back to Malta. Maverick decided he didn't want to dock on Malta and face trial for his crimes, so I executed him in orbit and took his body to the planet.

------------- Overview: Attacking a Gallic Facility Reason: Hostile, Unshielded and vulnerable. Date: 02/12/819
Leader: Claes Leslie. Wingmen: Marcio Castro, Camilla Petrucci
Marcio reported that he had spotted a base inside Tau 23 on the way back to Malta, after I was done with the cretino Maverick we both proceeded to the base location, we discovered that the base was not shielded at all.
The base was located at H6 in the vast Tau 23 asteroid belt.
The base had a Gallic name and was set to hostile for a reason, so I wasn't going to give it a chance to get stronger, not on my watch. We began to attack the station immediately while I called for back up, unfortunately due to the number of miner scumbags in the area, support was extremely limited.
Eventually Camilla managed to break through their blockade at the Tau 37 jumphole and join us, as well as the extreme fighter ship "Venganza" and Sebastian Cavani of the 101st, we proceeded to bomb the station with nuclear mines lowering its hull considerably.
After a while we were joined by a Maltese brigand gunboat named "Tutashkha" whom helped us finish off the base.

------------- Overview: La Falange D'oro Inspection Reason: Donated wreckage from Signore Perez, Not previously checked since its destruction Date: 03/12/819
My request for a larger ship to call home was finally answered today, however what we were given was a less than shapely vessel that as it turns out had recently been boarded by Colonial marines. On the outer corridors there were not many bodies due to the hull breaches, they probably were sucked into space.
We split into 2 teams; team 1 was myself with Henrique, team two was Camilla and Esteban. Team 1 was tasked with finding the bridge of the ship and so that we could take control of the ship, team two was tasked with reaching engineering to restore power and potentially get the ship moving.
We both accomplished our objectives, dealing some minor issues on the way, on the interior corridors of the ship it was evident from the blood, bodies and scorch marks that a massive fight had taken place on board. I had ordered team 2 to keep the vessel powerless for the threat of a silent self destruct timer was too real to ignore given the peril the crew were facing.
team one reached the bridge, and as I thought, there was a self destruct mechanism as well as a deactivated IFF responder for all the automated defenses not on the bridge. meaning that anything that moved would be shot to ribbons, I deactivated both and team two then restored power to the ship, however the shields are completely ruined and the engines could not be activated, probably to make it harder for the Colonials to take the ship should they be successful in its capture.
Camilla reported her oxygen was running low so we all made our way out, and back to our scimitars, heading home and leaving our.. 'ship' in dry dock.

------------- Overview: Contacting the Junker Congress Reason: Requesting Tow assistance for our disabled ship. Date: 04/12/819
Leader: Claes Leslie. Wingmen: N/A
With the engines of the La Falange D'oro completely destroyed internally, there is no way to move the vessel without towing assistance from the junkers, since they helped to tow it here at Corsica to begin with.
We need the ship desperately moving to Cartanega shipyard in Omicron 81 for immediate repairs, if we dont get the ship there soon we will miss out and have to wait for another ship to be repaired before ours, that could take months.
However it seems that no matter what I try, static communication or live communication the junkers appear to be simply too busy to comply with my request, which leaves us the other problem, how are we going to get the materials to repair the Falange D'oro if even the junkers are too busy... Id really rather not trust the ships fate to groups of wishy washy freelancers but if we don't then it looks like we wont ever restore it.
