To the Admiralty and High Command:
I am reporting on my activities as of late in regards to my patrols and defense of the Liberty System.
Starting on May 18th, I lifted off from Planet Manhattan due to a condition one alert. I received word that Texas was under attack by Rheinland forces, and I took my vessel to Texas. Along the way, I hired AI "Unit-433" and Freelancer Chris Vance to help support the Liberty fleet. The battle itself was too long for me to detail here, so I will simply leave my guncam footage as evidence:
May 22nd was interesting. I first came across a large battle taking place near Fort Bush, which I determined was a large group of Hogosha and Freelancers ganging up on a 'Reaper', some freelancer who was spouting gibberish and engaging everyone in a 10k radius. I joined the pursuit into the Rochester field, to no avail - he escaped through Colorado. So I left Exelion, a secondary fleet LABC, to guard the jump hole, when on my scanner I detected multiple pirates, both freelancer / pirate ID and a Liberty Rogue group, running with the "PLR" IFF. It got weirder as the reaper re-appeared and the two factions grouped up to take him down. I eventually stopped the PLR vessel, getting him to apparently surrender - but it was just a ruse, as he attacked me immediately after 'surrendering'. We proceeded to dogfight around the jumphole for a large amount of time before a large amount of Rogue vessels appeared. The LABC Exelion left me behind and I was forced to run all the way to Long Island where I successfully outran all four rogue ships. DogfightRogue chase
May 24th. I was alerted to the presence of the Rogue destroyer "Princess Cadence" by a secondary fleet bomber, LN-Archangel. They were around Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania, apparently harassing the locals. We moved in to engage the bomber with capital support, and successfully offed the vessel, however my bomber was damaged beyond repair. Princess Cadence
May 26th. I worked in Pennsylvania again, this time assisting =LSF= officials with the apprehension and destruction of two smugglers, using the USI export base to buy their goods. I then completed an inspection of the USI base and forwarded it to LPI- officials for their investigation. After that, I headed to Magellan due to reports of GRN vessels in the proximity. Our fleet eventually consisted of =LSF= snubs, myself in an Upholder, a USI escort wing, and two secondary fleet LABCs. Unfortunately, our fleet was unsuccessful in destroying the GRN invaders, and they moved on from Magellan to other systems. SmugglerGRN
May 29th. Following the report of the destruction of a Liberty defense fleet in Texas, I moved to the Texas gate in New York and ordered a blockade of the system, bringing in all available vessels from Primary and Secondary Fleet, LPI, LSF, USI, DSE, and freelancer contracts. We successfully deterred the Rheinlanders from entering the system and moved to engage them in Texas, only to retreat under mild losses. Rheinland fleet
June 1st. I undocked from West Point to a report from LPI Sergeant Valent informing me of a Lane Hacker gunship next to Long Island Station. As I arrived, the gunship was already taking hull damage from the weaponry of the station, and together with LPI officer Valent, he was quickly offed. I then moved to patrol Rochester field, where I came across Lui Calibur, who was in a freighter ID'd with a pirate ID. I quickly told him to surrender, but to no avail, and we began dogfighting. My ship was seriously damaged in the engagement, but his ship was destroyed, and I docked on Planet Manhattan for some much needed rest. LH gunshipSunburst 12
Report complete. I hope that I am satisfying the needs of the Navy as best as possible.
