Hello, Primary Fleet Command.
I have a few reports that were meant to make it here after the events had transpired. However, due to backlog, they didn't make it in. I'll report them here and now with the appropriate tagging.
July 16th, 824 A.S. - Texas/Bering systems
The South Dakota got word of small Harmony task force operating near the Hudson gate. LSF Agency 404 operative 'Gunslinger' proceeded forward alongside LSF Agent Hugo Huntley and Fifth Fleet fighter pilot Gregory Sanders to intercept. Upon arrival, the task force was found to have consisted of the Harmony itself and a small 'Rhino'-class freighter callsign Liberty-2. An order was given for the Harmony to stand down, by which they responded by powering their weapons. The South Dakota was forced to rebuttle, opening fire.
The fight continued towards the Bering jump anomaly, where the South Dakota was intercepted by the K.K.S. 'Curse of Koeln', a 'Donau'-class Rheinland heavy cruiser sporting Unioner markings, which was quickly dispatched, the South Dakota taking moderate damage at best. We continued on, joining up with Agency 404 Operative 'Speedster', jumping after the L.N.S. Harmony into the system of Bering. There, we continued fire on the Harmony until a large Unioner warship showed up. The K.K.S. Westfalen, a 'Bismarck'-class Rheinland heavy battleship, proceeded to assist the Harmony, the South Dakota being forced to take distance, thus allowing the Harmony itself to make an edgy, if not unforeseen, getaway, aided by another Unioner vessel, the gunboat K.K.S. Gelsenkirchen, which quickly bugged out.
The South Dakota then proceeded back to the fight, where we were beset upon by another Unioner capital vessel, the K.K.S. Empress Leicht, a 'Hel'-class Rheinland pirate cruiser, which, like the 'Curse of Koeln' before, fell to the South Dakota's guns. We then turned our sights to the Westfalen, which by now had begun taking fire by the Fifth fleet 'Overlord'-class dreadnought L.N.S. Ohio. The battered battleship took repeated hits, blasts, torpedos and missiles before finally succumbing to the combined firepower of both warships, the central core blasting itself to smithereens.
Once the battle was over, 404 Operative Speedster and accompanying bounty hunter gunship 'Domino Harvy' proceeded to sweep out the remaining Harmony snubcraft while the Ohio and South Dakota made an exit for Houston. A good day, even if the Harmony got away. Still, we did significant damage to said ship, and it will take some time for them to bring her back into service after a pounding like that.
July 18th, 824 A.S. - New York system
The South Dakota departed from Manhattan in response to a call of a Liberty Rogue warship spotted near the Colorado gate. Upon arrival to the scene, we witnessed the 'Scylla'-class Rogue destroyer L.R.D. A Liberty Tragedy being fired upon by numerous capital assets of the Liberty Armed Forces, including the Fifth Fleet battlecruiser L.N.S. Soulcatcher, the LSF primary fleet battlecruiser L.S.F.C. New Orleans and the Liberty Police SWAT Gunship Fort Dix. The battered destroyer was taken out by withering firepower from all four vessels, with the South Dakota's guns claiming the final kill marker. We returned to Manhattan for rearming and celebration of another capital warship removed from Liberty space.
July 21st, 824 A.S. - New York system
The South Dakota entered Manhattan orbit to behold the sight of the M.N.S. Arrosa, a Maltesian 'Sarissa'-class battleship, staring down the defensive grid. We proceeded towards the warship, informing the vessel of it's wrongdoings and proceeded to remove it by force. The vessel proved fairly capable, but upon arrival of the L.N.S. Maryland, commanded by Vice Admiral Hirlerman, the vessel was sent to the scrap fields. The South Dakota returned to Manhattan for repairs, awaiting her next deployment.
July 22nd, 824 A.S. - New York/Colorado systems
Again, the South Dakota launched from Manhattan in response to two heavy Maltese warships reportedly causing distress east of Manhattan. We proceeded towards Fort Bush, catching eyes of the two vessels, the M.N.S. Smith and her compatriot the M.N.S. Wesson, steaming eastward from Rochester towards the Colorado gate. The bounty hunter gunships 'Domino Harvy' and 'Aquarius', who called in the request for assistance, disrupted the two vessels, calling for Liberty assets to remove the trailing warship, M.N.S. Wesson. The secondary fleet battleship L.N.S. South Carolina arrived on scene to assist in the destruction of the Wesson, blasting it to pieces. The M.N.S. Smith had retreated to the Colorado system, but was taken down and removed by the bounty hunter duo, thus concluding another heavy firefight.
Later the same day, the South Dakota again reported to a disturbance near the New York gate in Colorado, the two previously disabled ships, M.N.S. Smith and M.N.S. Wesson, as well as a small rogue gunship, blockading the gate. The South Dakota circled around from reports by civilian craft to avoid the gate, eyeing them from a distance. The Liberty Police dreadnought Leavenworth proceeded through the gate to assist, initially opening fire on the enemy warships. South Dakota proceeded to move in, taking aim and attempting removal for a second time. The Smith was the first to go down, meeting her end at the Leavenworth's hand. The Wesson fared longer, but ultimately succumbed to the firepower of both warships. The Leavenworth had taken incredible damage, but remained afloat. The South Dakota once more proceeded home, victorious for a second time today.
That concludes my reports.
Best regards,
Commander Holston Langley, Liberty Navy First Fleet.
