CAPTAINS LOG - Entry #2: Treason
Date: June 1st, 827 A.S.

It has been slightly over a week since the Legion marched to meet the Liberty Navy in the Bering system, and since my sudden elevation to acting captain.
While the Torment was regretably held back from the frontlines, we performed our duties keeping the passageway from the Texas jump hole to Vespuci clear of any pursuers. The Separatist refugees have made it past us safely, but the lack of military vessels was a surprise to say the least.

Reports have come in that the Commonwealth has declared the Legion fleet rogue for going into Bering. Just saying that sentence outloud makes me want to take a cold shower and try to wake up from whatever illusion I've found myself in. I've managed to keep the news from the crew for now, only senior staff is aware of this turn of events.

According to the refugees, their military, as well as the vast majority of the Legions fleet, have banded together and set course for home via a detour through the California system. The crew is anxious to hear what happened in Bering, what happened to their brothers, sisters and friends who fought on the frontlines.

I will leave them in blissful ignorance for now regarding the treason accusations, hopefully we will receive word from the fleet soon.
