During patrol yesterday, most systems we're clear. However, after taking command of the San Diego, a report of a cloaked dreadnought came in. Myself, alongside a civilian informant, attempted to track the vessel down, later joined by Iowa, however the vessel escaped Liberty jurisdiction. Earlier, while orbiting Manhattan, two smugglers were caught. One junker smuggler, registration The.Lucky.Star, carrying Cardamine. The vessel ignored orders to stop and refused the fine, deny all wrongdoing. During the stop with the Cardamine smuggler, Admiral Sader had stopped another junker smuggling artifacts. This one didn't manage for evade direct enforcement through forcing dock procedures. Vessel registration Vindicator, refused to drop his hold after being ordered to by the Admiral, and after another refusal, the order was given to open fire. Shortly after, the smuggler was destroyed and contraband destroyed in space. I would like to add that this is not the first time Vindicator has been stopped by Liberty Authorities, and appropriate steps should be taken against this criminal.
