Mission Debrief Liberty Navy 46th Fleet Security Clearance:GRANTED
Sender Name: Rear Admiral, Lower Half - Martin Kemp-Smith
Vessel Name: 46th|LNS-Vancouver
Systems Visited: New York
Other Operatives Present: N/A to 46th Fleet Officers, though Fifth Fleet (5th|)Charlotte.Wilkes was present.
Description of report: The Vancouver, being the newest Overlord class Dreadnought to the Fleet, had recently undergone a full systems and operational review moored at Salt Lake HQ. The crew were ready for a test flight within New York and I received a urgent hail from Miss Wilkes, of the Fifth Fleet. She had relayed that there was an Outcast capital vessel pirating some transports near Fort Bush, now with the proximity of HQ and Fort Bush, I immediately ordered the crew to red alert and set condition ONE prior to releasing.
As expected, as soon and the Vancouver had cleared the moors of Salt Lake, the scanner and sensors were flashing. There is was - the Outcast Battlecruiser, "HS>Destino-Final". I could hear the comms chatter between the Battlecruiser and a Universal Transport, "anna". The Commander of the Destino FInal was trying to extort credits from the Transport Captain and when I hailed the vessel, threatened to disable the transport should the Vancouver encroach any close. Hit a huge stroke of luck as the trade lanes suddenly reactivated which momentarily caused the Destino FInal to lose focus of my positioning and disable the lane once more, at this point I had taken the Vancouver through the lane for about 5 clicks, with WIlkes as bomber support and we both engaged and "anna" was able to make a swift evacuation from the engagement zone.
I have to admit, the Outcast gave us hell before we eventually disabled him. The Maltese sure know how to make a sleek and low profile vessel and it sure wasn't an easy engagement, alas, we came out on top in the end.
Recommendations: Excellent communication between Wilkes and myself allowed for swift interception and with a bit of luck, able to save a civilian transport and eliminate the threat. A huge thank you to Charlotte WIlkes of the Fifth Fleet, she displayed great skill and is a valuable asset to the Primary Fleet.
