Comm ID: Lieutenant Commander Lucius Hopkins
Recipient: 5th Fleet Command, Liberty Navy 5th Fleet
Subject: Patrol Report

Greetings Command,

This report is based on an encounter me and Stedman had with a Freelancer ID'ed Hellfire Legion gunboat identification HFB-Patriot within the Texas system. The IFF system identified the craft as junker, it appears to be equipped for anti SNUB combat with a full solaris loadout. The captain of the vessel claims to have purchased the craft and appears to have no hostile intentions.

The captain of the vessel is non aggressive and has made it clear that the intends to seek the appropriate approvals to operate the craft within Liberty space. Due to the combat strength we had available we would have not been able to dispatch the craft due to it's firepower advantage.

It is my suggestion that we monitor this craft and ensure that it files the correct paperwork with the government for use of the craft. If nothing else, if we bring the craft in for analysis pre-approval it could prove useful from a tactical standpoint.

Please find included visual evidence of the craft and the communication logs from the incident. Lieutenant Stedman may be able to provide more detail of events before I arrived on scene.

With Regards,

Lieutenant Commander Lucius Hopkins, 5th Fleet
