03/11/835 - Unioner group encounter, Texas system
While on night duty, I was conducting another overflight of the Texas system when I received an emergency message coded with LSF code regarding the presence of a large group of Unioner ships moving through Republic territory. The message indicated that the group consisted of numerous ships of varying tonnage, primarily cruisers. Local defense forces and patrols, of which I was a part, were dispatched to the scene as a tactical group.
Upon arrival, it was determined that the signal indeed corresponded to an LSF ship, and the transmitted data was authentic: the group of ships was indeed impressive and included several Hel-class ships. During the brief engagement, some of the enemy forces retreated, presumably to Bering, while others were destroyed in the North Dallas Debris Field.
The video file and the black box footage are attached below. Judging by the size of the force, the Unioners could pose a significant threat to the Republic in the Texas system, given Liberty's growing tensions with the Kusari Empire. This could lead to an unnecessary drain on resources in the long term, so I'm asking command to pay attention to this situation proactively.
