Recruit Rivers here,
After another long day I found myself at battleship Yukon in California with admiral Rachel Baker. We had just successfully fended off an outcast battleship and a zoner dreadnaught that was helping it when another Navy ship appeared by the name of [LN]-Gold-4.
At first I did not suspect anything but admiral Baker appeared to become suspicious of it and asked it to identify itself. The ship did not comply and asked why it should do so. The conversation continued and the navy ship remained generally uncooperative as admiral Baker prompted it to power down and surrender.
However it also did not just cruise away or flee. It remained nearby and conversed with admiral Baker who continued to convince the pilot to surrender himself. To me it seemed as if both knew each other, somehow, although [LN]-Gold-4 stated at one point that his authority was one "Lord Commander Reynard Joyeuse of the Hellfire Legion".
At one point, the ship opened fire on me and fired their onboard weapons (a mix of strange weapons) and a minirazor at my ship. At first the craft only shot at my shield but it also fired on me once the shield was gone.

[LN]-Gold-4: *You notice that he only aims for the wings instead of going for a kill*
After announcing that I was under attack admiral Baker told me to defend myself. Since I was in a bomber however and the navy craft a Guardian with unusual weapons I felt I had little chance, since the pilot appeared to be superb. He also did not seem to aim for the bomber reactor and instead aimed for the ship's non-vital hull.
Fortunately, thanks to the armor plating of the type VIII his assault only inflicted damage on the armor leaving the bomber mostly undamaged. The onboard nanobots quickly repaired the dent in the ship's armor.
[LN]-Gold-4 ceased his attack on me and continued conversing with admiral Baker, who still prompted the pilot to surrender peacefully. Over the course of time I saw several transports pass us by with supplies for a constructed base, so I asked admiral Baker for permission to trail these transports. In the mean while she would land on battleship Yukon, because admiral Baker was piloting a Havoc mkII bomber and also was unable to detain [LN]-Gold-4, who remained in space.
Admiral baker tasked me to report if we found out anything about those transports. However all we learned is that their operation appears to be in the Inverness system which is outside of our juristiction.
As a final note, I heard [LN]-Gold-4 mentioning something in the frequency that might allude to plans of his to steal a second Guardian suggesting he has stolen one already.
