TARGET ID: Liberty Navy Reporting Center
SUBJECT: System Patrol, January 13th
ENCRYPTION: Moderate
PRIORITY: Low
Lieutenant Rivers here,
Lt. Jones and myself started our patrol today and came upon reports of trouble from Texas system, where we encountered a rheinland warship by the designation of "U-99".
We found it with the help of other, unaffiliated pilots (5th|Jim.Schofield, SMFC|Scylla, "Alpha-1" - thank you again!), who graciously offered valueable intel to us. The rheinland warship was unresponsive and proceeded to dock at Beaumont station, a junkerbase.
It undocked again shortly and my scanners detected a hyperspace breach consistent with readings of a charging jumpdrive. Our suspicion was soon confirmed as the warship from rheinland disappeared from scanners in a bright flash.
Lt. Jones and myself returned to New York afterwards where we came upon another rheinland ship as well as a liberty rogue ship. The LNS-Santisima.Trinidad pursued the rheinland ship, while Lt. Jones and myself tried to catch the Liberty Rogue ship.
After finding it at rochester base and then giving chase to the Pittsburg debris field, the liberty rogue ship slowed down and opened fire on us. Lt. Jones reacted quickly and engaged the rogue ship into a dog fight, distracting it from me (I was flying an upholder bomber).
Eventually, Lt. Jones defeated the Liberty Rogue ship which turned out to be an (unarmored) bactrian class freighter.
I suggested that we try to talk to the pilot and Lt. Jones took over questioning the pilot of the freighter, which yielded some interesting intel:
Quote:- A pair of pelican transports operating as a team in kepler preyed on traders. (according to the liberty rogue pilot, they even managed to stop a GMG affiiated helium trader)
- The pelican transports had "outlandish" equipment. One of them was reported to vanish at will which indicates the use of a cloaking device.
- Furthermore one of the transports was a definitely "Freelancer" and "charon" type transport weaponry was involved.
- The two transprots also allegedly had what the liberty rogue pilot called "Special Operations papers"
- He also remembered that their name started with an "A" but he could not give us any further information as his flight recorder only had today's flight data.
After I recorded the intel given to us Lt. Jones let the pilot go with a fine of 500.000sc since the pilot stood down and cooperated.
