Starting my patrol from Sabah Shipyard after having my final tests done, configurations completed. Weapons tests, shields and engines have all been tested. It seems all systems are in working order. The only issue was the nav map on my Nyx fighter was out dated and not complete.

So moving through our region into Baffin then into Council space, making sure these systems were updated first. From there I took the time to get the Tau's and the bordering systems such as Nagano, Rishiri and Omicron Tau. While scouting Omicron Tau my radars picked up a contact 'Gimmers' was the ships name. Not taking too much notice as it was just out of scanning range. Making my way back to Tau 37, successfully jumping through the anomaly. I started to have this gut feeling this pilot was going to follow me, so waiting around for a few minutes the pilot also successfully jumped into Tau 37. So that is where my job started.

Asking this pilot to cut his engines, while I was waiting for the pilot to respond I thought it was a good idea to bring a few scans up to see what I could find. The search was successful and there was a total of 2164 units of Cardamine. This automatically confirmed a smuggler which needed to be stop. While scanning the pilot tried to make an escape so I was forced to use cruise disruptors to stop the pilot escaping with the drug.

Not long after making the pilot stop, he then was acting funny trying to saying his communications where down and then trying to bribe me with money if I let him go. The pilot confirmed he was taking the drug to the people of Liberty. This made me worry and made me feel like I had to do something and fast. Demanding the pilot to jettison all units of Cardamine and destroy them. The pilot refused to do this so I was forced to demand the pilot to jettison the drug. Refusing to comply then shortly after engaging my fighter, this was not a good sign for him. Having years of experience I was forced to activate all weapons systems and open fire. The drugs where destroyed and the pilot was taken to the Freeport for medical treatment.

Once I took the pilot to the Freeport for medical treatment I continued my patrols and scouting all Tau systems to up date my navigation map. I completed the Orkney mission but I was unable to find any Royalist Fighters. This was rather unusual. Moving to Tau 31 where I met up with Warrant Officer Zara and then not far behind was Lieutenant Hellfire. A fighter wing started to form. Flying into the Dundee system and then into Edinburgh, everything was quiet and then we had communications from Blitz come through. We made an agreement to meet up within the Leeds sector to have a squad leader.

When myself, Zara and Hellfire reached Leeds we had a distress signal come through from Blitz saying he was being engaged by a Royalist. Upon our arrival Hellfire was already in the process of activating his weapon systems, Zara was powering theirs up. This only left one option for myself. Powering my weapons up to move in and engage the Gallic pilot.

Blitz was shot down by the time I was able to engage which left it a three vs one fighter, we wanted to revenge and to make sure there was not any more causalities made by this Royalist. Our Warrant Officer was being targeted which left myself and Hellfire to do all the damage possible. Around five minutes later the Royalist was shot down, unsure if they are dead, or seriously injured but there fighter was shot down. We moved to New London and then returned to Coronado after.

This is everything I have to report as of now, there will be more patrols made once I have received full re-armament, fueling and the odd repairs that need to be made.
