Greetings,
Today is simply a glorious day for the Legion and our noble cause. A day of perpetual warfare against the pirates and corrupt soldiers of the Regime, it's conclusion saw the Navy severely weakened. No less than twenty hostile warships, most of them capital vessels of the Navy were obliterated today by the reverent warriors of the Legion - led by the tactical brilliance of Fleet Admiral Ryan Williams. Guncam files of all encounters will be attached at the end of each corresponding paragraph.
The beginning of this day long slaughter began at west point as Fleet Adm. Williams, Fleet Comm. Raison, and myself disembarked from Ouray with three Inquisitor gunboats to patrol New York among rumors of spontaneous warfare between forces of the Reavers and the Navy. We found Reavers sparring with a few Navy ships, notably an LABC, the Ravager at West Point; the Ravager was dealt horrific damage and had to make a scorching landing to one of West Points shielded mooring pins, effectively ending its participation in the battle. The LNS Leyte Gulf (LABC) appeared soon after, suffering the same fate - crash landing into a moor and being neutralized for indefinite time.
Our next engagement saw us on the doorstep of the regime and in the thick of their current home fleet, Manhattan of course. We experienced a degree of cooperation with the Reavers who provided bomber support, and though appreciated, their support paled in the might of our Arbiters, the Libertine and the Manticore. What happened during the fight was more of a massacre of Navy forces, capital after capital was felled as we took zero losses; the first ship to die was the LNS Alabama (LABC), followed by the Groz (LABC), LNS Golden State (Dreadnought), and the Flint (Gunboat). The battle concluded as we withdrew from the field to resupply and assess the current situation, as a much larger Navy fleet was pulled from the front lines. I managed to land a killing blow on one or two of them.

The Navy fleet was massing at West point and we decided that we would not likely have such an opportunity to deal a blow to the Navy in a long time. In this situation, I was honored to have Fleet Admiral Williams grant me priority command over the HFB Manticore and the HFD Abaddon in the presence of approving HC officers. We took position at the New York gate in California, our fleet consisted of the Ven'gyr commanded by Williams, the Libertine commanded by Raison, the Manticore commanded by me, and a supporting Inquisitor plus Reavers who offered intelligence on enemy fleet movements. Enemy scouts poorly disguised as freelancers and a Junker came through the gate to report on us, the Junker was of course destroyed after disobeying Williams orders to stay five kilometers away from the fleet. We received intel that the Navy was moving through Texas to flank our forces from the jump hole, in a stroke of tactical awareness and vaunted prowess, Fleet Admiral Williams moved the fleet behind the Texas jump hole where we awaited the enemy fleet. They blundered through and were destroyed - suffice to say, the combat was glorious. Three Dreadnoughts were obliterated, accompanied by two LABCs who were also destroyed.

The two previous battles dealt significant damage to the Navy and showed their significant weakness.
The following conflict was by far the strangest one, a flotilla of four destroyers (3 Scyllas, 1 Storta), two tagged as 'SoS' which in our records apparently stands for 'Shades of Sirius' idling behind Manhattan. I was commanding the Abaddon, Raison commanded the Redeemer and Williams commanded the Damocles. They were obviously hostile entities, pirates and smugglers most likely - all four destroyers were slain with medium damage to the Damocles. I got kill credit for three of the destroyers.
The final kill of the night was a pleasant carrier ambush with the Ven'gyr commanded by Williams and the Manticore commanded by myself, Commander Raison was piloting a bomber. We intercepted this carrier in California after it taunted us at West Point, I doubt his crew was laughing when the reactor was ruptured by our guns.
