Liberty Navy 46th Fleet Security Clearance: < Granted >
Sender ID: FADM Martin Kemp-Smith
Vessel ID: 46th|M.Kemp-Smith
Subject: Report - 22-09-834 | Blackmarket Tech
Personal log,
Departed for a patrol with Alpha-two from Norfolk Shipyard. We cleared the bay to a "Grendel"-class Blackmarket Frigate, callsign THE|Phantom.
The vessel was hailed over comms and requested they halt for a cargo scan, to which they cordially complied. Alpha-two called for priority backup and Alpha-twenty-four launched from Norfolk to assist on the scene. Thankfully, this wasn't strictly required, as the Frigate Captain complied with lawful order and was escorted to Bering.
Logs and gun-cam footage attached, for reference.
In service to the Republic.
