Greetings Command, as well as my greetings to the officers of the Fleet,

The report that follows summarizes the events that have occurred within Liberty space involving hostile elements, events that the LNS-Akhetaten has been present in, and ones that have Vice Admiral Maria Uhmen worried.

During the 8th of this month, the Akhetaten, following a regular patrol path, found herself in high orbit of Planet Los Angeles. Our long range sensors picked up multiple contacts belonging to Task Force Prometheus, a threat which was thwarted with relative ease thanks to none other than the Fleets ace fighter squadron, Alpha Wing, and their swift response time. However, just as we thought the threat was gone, the Akhetaten's long range sensors detected a small attack group of five unknown hostile contacts closing in on Planet Los Angeles. No more than a few minutes later, the unknown contacts had multiplied, and alien tech was identified to be equipped on some of them, making it clear that the situation we had on hand involved infectees.

While all hostile contacts were dealt with without suffering any major casualties - other than the Fleet Admiral's fighter suffering immobilizing damage - the events that unfolded in California that day are of considerable concern. Not only are the attacks of Task Force Prometheus becoming more frequent, but they are also growing bolder and showing up on our doorstep way more often. Not only that, but the looming Nomad threat has shown itself yet again, something which the Vice Admiral considers a major threat to the Republic.

Furthermore, and more importantly, Task Force Prometheus would show even further signs of increased activity on the 11th of this month. While in the Magellan system, the Akhetaten detected a small Prometheus battlegroup floating not far from Cordova. The battlegroup consisted of a fighter, a bomber and a battleship. After brief dialogue with them, the Akhetaten was engaged by the Osiris-class Incursus, captained by none other than Amy West. After taking down the Incursus, its two snubcraft escorts engaged the Akhetaten, a battle which lasted considerably long, but one in which the Akhetaten came victorious - albeit at a cost, as we suffered incapacitating damage and had to route back to Norfolk.

During our retreat, and while flying towards the jumpgate leading into California, we noticed that another snubcraft belonging to Prometheus was following us, and so we stopped in order to confront the vessel. Not long after, a new party would form, and soon the Akhetaten would yet again be engaged. This time, however, our opponents were a Lane Hacker transport, callsign Deedoss - heavily armed - as well as the aforementioned Prometheus fighter. In addition to those, however, a small - perhaps bomber sized - warform of Vagrant origin engaged us.

We were able to take the fighter down with relative ease, but the heavy firepower the Lane Hacker transport carried turned out to be too much for a warship which was already critically damaged.

These events are worrying. Seeing the Vagrants openly engage the Navy alongside the Lane Hacker and Task Force Prometheus is a most concerning development, and one that will require action to be taken against.

That is all.
