This is Willows speaking to all pilots of the Liberty Navy.
You all have propably heard of the rumors saying that we got our hands on Bretonian Military hardware, and as a matter of fact, those are true.
All details concerning this acquisition are classified under securtiy level Rho and only accessible by High Command.
Our R&D division on Willard Research Station was able to modify the weapons, 4-11b "Advanced Splitter" Tachyon Cannons, so they can be used on our LZF-9805, BDR-804, BDR-845 and XV-736 type fighter craft.
Unfortunately there currently is no way to modify the weapons for use on our XB-2 "Havoc Mk.II" Bombers, so those will be stuck with the default weaponry.
We will begin issuing out the weapons soon on a per-rank basis.
Due to the limited number of those weapons, High Command reserves the right to deny a member of the forces the use of those weapons at will.
We have also gotten our hands on forty CL-f "Flashpoint" Civilian Heavy Laser Cannons.
These are the latest development of Ageira Technologies, providing superior firepower and an extensive shiptype compatibility.
They will be issued out in similar fashion to the "Buckshot" Particle Blasters uncovered a few days ago, and serve as a replacement to the recipients "Vengeance" Laser Cannons.
Now that I've mentioned the "Buckshots", for those that do not know yet, two each have been given out to Lieutenant Mike Ypsilantis, Ensign Joe McTyre and Ensign Ryan MacTavish.
From what I've seen so far you three are now proeficent in the use of the weaponry, and I hope those guns will serve you well in the future.
