Mission Debrief
Liberty Navy 46th Fleet
Security Clearance: GRANTED

Sender Name: Lieutenant Commander Martin Kemp-Smith

Vessel Name: 46th|M.Kemp-Smith

Systems Visited: Pennsylvania, New York

Other Operatives Present: Recruit Amanda Brockhouse and Rear Admiral Van Leer

Description of report: Brockhouse and myself linked up at West Point and wanted to perform a decent patrol on Pennsylvania, so we took the trade lane to the gate and jumped. After a successful jump, we did an obligatory pass via all the trade lanes around the system and there was nothing of note, so I decided we would go further afield and patrol the out regions. We departed from Bethlehem's free-fire zone and followed the navigation buoys, bypassing the Wilkes-Barre asteroid field and proceeded towards the Meadville ice field. Shortly after arriving we came across a weapons platform that was picked up on scanner as a hostile, so we moved a little closer just outside of its weapons range and I halted the patrol safely behind cover. I wanted to take a closer look, so ordered Brockhouse to stay put and move from behind the rock I was using for cover and cruised up to and around. There it was - a Junker depot. It seemed relatively small and practically unfinished. There seemed to be no way of any class of ship being able to dock or moor to drop off goods. I thought not much of it, captured an image with the ships camera and went back to link up with Brockhouse and continue.

From there, I plugged in a sector just within the Driftwood field orbiting Lansdale and we made tracks. We arrived in good time and I took a moment to observe the surrounding field and Brockhouse did the same. Luckily she was there with me because I'd missed a modular installation that was approximately 8 clicks away from where we had halted. It was named "Zekks Little Cottage", it had no defences and was actually in a decent state of disrepair. I docked up on it while Amanda held security outside of the facility - to my surprise the automated docking computer on the station was still operational and I got inside and searched around. There wasn't much of anything left inside and was rather eerie, so I went back to my Guardian and undocked. I checked the Liberty Database for approved installations and it was indeed on there, though seemed to be 6 months overdue payments as of January this year.

From there the rest of the patrol within Pennsylvania was uneventful, so we made tracks back to the New York jump gate and proceeded back to the Capital. We took the trade lane to West Point and then the lane to Norfolk, at which point there was a hostile on scanner so I immediately dropped out of the lane and scanned the contact. It was a Junker Salvage Frigate - "Marty" - whom was illegally carrying a little over 3,000 artifacts. I requested the vessel to halt and there was no reply, so attempted to get within cruise disruptor range but could see the Junker dropped countermeasures. The recruit, Brockhouse, was too far behind to effectively catch up - though, thankfully, Rear Admiral Van Leer happened to be patrolling New York at this point so I sent a communication to proceed to Manhattan to intercept; the Salvage Frigate was flying straight towards it. The Rear Admiral successfully intercepted and the Junker halted, so I continued with my line of questioning, by that point Amanda had caught up and Van Leer went back to Salt Lake to bring an ARMOUR unit back to support and haul. Marty had complied, eventually, after failing to stop when requested and charged with an article 1.1 offense - carrying an illegal commodity within the Republic and was fined 250,000 credits for his actions. This was reduced due to the nature of his compliance once we were able to effectively halt his vessel. Van Leer, commanding the battle-transport, Barricade, tractored the artifacts and returned to Manhattan to dispose of the with local authorities planet-side.

I called an end to the patrol at this point so we could take care of the post-patrol administration and write up this report.

Recommendations: Overall a very successful patrol. I would be worth checking with the Liberty Government regarding the modular installation, "Zekks Little Cottage", to see what they wish be done with it as it appears to be at this point - approaching a year of missed fees. I'd advise that the Junker, "Marty", be added to the known smugglers database and kept a close eye on to ensure he's not breaching Liberty Laws again and advised him of such.
