Here is the the mission report submitted by Capitaine Coste. She is currently busy overseeing the science team's efforts to analyze the remaining data we retrieved from our sortie into Liberty. I'm making it available to all ranking personnel, and will forward it to la Marine afterwards.

Data Package 1: Route & Objectives

On April 6th 742 A.S. Escadron XXII joined forces with la Marine in California. We went to observe the massive fleet movements that the Carcassone scanners had picked up. The initial plan was to perform long-range scanning and analysis of Libertonian fleet. Planet Mojave was picked as the contact site; it was the choke point the Libertonians would have to inevitably pass. However, the fleet movement of that scale had stirred up the entire Libertonian underworld. These lowlifes gathered considerable amount of firepower, so we had to change plans at the last minute.

I stayed behind and at range to monitor the Libertonian fleet movements, while the rest of our forces retreated into the ice asteroid field. As the Libertonians approached and turned towards Ontario jump gate, I disrupted the lanes in front of them. That gave our task force the much-needed time to take positions in Ontario. We lacked the numbers to stop the Libertonians, so the plan was to perform hit-and-run strikes on the trade lanes. We would delay their movement and acquire the much needed scans in the process.

The presence of large numbers of hostiles distracted the Navy from us, so the plan worked. Our task force had ample time to move to Alberta and meet the Libertonians there. We converged with the MRG near the destination, but apparently, we weren't the only ones here. The so-called "Lane Hackers" have arrived in numbers. Escadron XXII had to preserve the gathered data, so we received orders to withdraw from the AO. The MRG forces arrived to the final RV point shortly afterwards.

Data Package 2: Long-Range Scans in Alberta

While at the RV point, we picked up lots of strange readings in the system. Apparently, the jump sequence didn't go quite as planned. The energy readings spiked for a few seconds. If it was the jump, then I have never seen the readings of such magnitude from any other jump gate. We intercepted bits of encrypted comms, but not enough to fully figure out what happened here. Our scientists are still analyzing what little data we could gather. Either way, when the readings faded, there was nothing else for us to do in the system, so we proceeded to extraction area.

Data Package 3: Scanned Technology

The Whitefield and Fairmont were pretty standard vessels for their class, in terms of equipment and weaponry. Their only outstanding quality was superior shielding and additional hull plating. If it hadn't been for their battlegroups, I believe it could've been possible to isolate and destroy them. Unfortunately, the opportunity didn't present itself, and their shielding held remarkably well.

However, we also had an opportunity to get a few unique scans of other vessels that made an appearance in Liberty to interfere with the battlegroup movement. I believe that the "organic vessels" will be of particular interest of our research staff. They haven't fully gone through all that data yet. However, even as raw data, this information should be useful to la Marine.

Conclusion

Our sortie to Liberty was more than just fruitful. The attached evidence is only about a half of what we recovered. Further analysis of weaponry, technology, and especially "organic vessels" may be required. I am certain that research of that data will prove fruitful to our war efforts. As our scientists make progress, we may be able to provide additional information and conclusions.
