New York skirmish
Buenos dias,
Hoy "Valladolid" ventured into Liberty to study increased Xenos activity that impedes our trade convoys. In New York system we picked up signals of allies engaged into a combat, namely two lane hackers: Mildred Wolf and Mactan Oppressor, and one Maltese de la Legion Maltesa callname "Scarface". All piloting smaller spacecrafts, they were opposed by two Liberty battlecruisers: LNS "Montreal" and LNS "South Dakota". "Valladolid" rushed into the combat taking place in the high orbit of planet Manhattan. During the combat we managed to put down "Montreal" but were heavily outgunned, Manhattan being strongly guarded by planetary defence systems, ancillary stations and fleet. In wake of this, we reached consensus to withdraw to Rochester base. LNS "South Dakota" suffered insignificant damage and was headed for repairs allowing us to withdraw without any complications. I must commend the professionalism of our Lane Hackers amigos y los legionarios de La Legion Maltesa: in the face of superior forces they showed discipline and professionalism. This should be accounted for when planning any joint ventures.
This report indicates, senor CSO, that Liberty is still patrolled despite many vessels deployed on Bretonian front. We should bear this in mind when planning itineraries through Libertonian systems as not only Xenos but the Navy can cause us headache. This, however, complicates the explanation of how the Xenos operate so freely without being intercepted by the Navy or the Police. Perhaps, we should inquire with the Hackers or the Rogues to clarify the situation. I shall inform mi Padre about this personally.
