Begin morning patrol at Station ********* and proceeded to the New York system enroute to the Texas system. Found nothing out of the ordinary. System comm was busy with all Liberty units upholding the law. Upon arrival at Houston I came across Satlun coming out of the Bearing-Houston TL and under a cusurary scan was found to be carrying over 3,000 units of cardimine. I called for him to halt but he had hurried to the dock and was halfway through the process. A short time later he undocked with equipment replacing the cardimine. While we discussed what he had done wrong and gave his word that he would not do it again, I fined him 2 million credits. We need more patrols in the Texas system.
Shortly after that a ship named Radicsphere came out of the TL with a load of Military Equipment. I Ordered him to halt and he burned to the Houston-NY TL. I gave chase. Upon entering the NY system I gave an ALL CALL for any Lawful ship to stop Radicsphere. Several Liberty Navy ships and Guardian joined in the pursuit. He was chased all the way to the Rio Grande where he docked. The whole trip I repeatably asked him to halt. He would call back why and I answered, For violation of the Embargo and Failure to stop at the Request of a Lawful Officer. We surrounded the Rio Grande and Ordered him to depart and talk to us. The crew of the Rio Grande attempted to forcible eject his ship out the airlock, also attempted to do a hostile boarding and was repulsed. It seemed like the ship was being run by computer.
//He sat in dock till server kicked him.
Rio Grandes assault squad finally was able to breach the ship to find no one on it. The team suffered one fatality and 4 other causalities. Ship is now being studied by the LSF and LN Intel.
I wish to thank all the Liberty navy pilots and crews that attempted to assist in the capture of this ship. I also thanked Guardian for his assistance. I returned to the Texas system to finish my patrol.
