I find myself making this next log entry later than I would have liked, much has happened since my last.
The civilian government of the Commonwealth has fallen, overall the population welcomed the Insurgency fleet as heroes while the traitor politicians fled. That's what the official news outlets are broadcasting, at any rate. I think it foolish to take such reportings at face value, though I do hope it is mostly true. War time propoganda is hardly the most trustworthy source of information after all.

As expected several of the disgraced politicians tried to flee through the Kansas system; our fighter patrols moved to intercept. Some of them put up a fight, shouting nonsense about how surrendering meant certain death, odd how they chose death over a fair trial. Fortunately most of the ones that were caught were wise enough to surrender, they're currently being held in the brig.

I have informed the crew we will remain for one more day to see if any more stragglers show up, after that we'll be heading home to Veracruz to hand over the traitors to the new, proper, authorities.
