All right, since my last report, my Challenger has seen a lot of use, and a lot of firefights. I've been out on border patrol duty a lot recently, and the seemingly endless numbers of traders who claim to know nothing about the embargo has been wearing me down. All right, I'd better get these reports uploaded and stop rambling.

Report 1: Well, out on border patrol, I came into contact with a slaver group known as the LTC. After assistance from the gunboats the Golden Hind and the Surprise, we were able to destroy one of their ships and rescue all of the slaves on board, at least, that's what we thought had happened. They're more clever than we gave them credit for, and a backup ship bearing the same designation departed Leeds, hoovered up the remaining slaves and made a run for it. He entered the jump hole to Magellan and I pursued, only to find that he had doubled back right into the guns of one of the gunboats. The remaining slaves were liberated, but I'm afraid that I was unable to detain the pilot. This group appear to be using bretonian Shires and Percherons, and so maybe harsher regulation on their sale is in order. Naturally, we had to get even more idiots running through the system, and so I present specimen 1: A hogosha. piloting a Ryuujin train. right past Leeds. Filled to the gills with military vehicles bound to Kusari. An explosion quickly ensued, and with some assistance from salvage crews, we now have 1000 new hover-tanks for our defence of Leeds. Naturally, things couldn't stay calm and the Reaver mercenaries arrived, leading to the loss of my bomber.


Report 2: More of these slavers again. I took down another of their ships, and once again, a backup ship appeared. Luckily, Rescue crews were nearby and able to retrieve the slaves before they could be recaptured. I suggest a complete removal of their docking rights on Leeds, since it seems that temporary lockdowns have next to no effect. Some of my guncam shots have been mixed up though, so I'm trying to sort these into each slaver's destruction. The whole set of slaver shots will be filed as an attachment. maybe you'd have a better chance of sorting them than I would. Back on track though, our old friend Swiftshinobie payed a visit, this time with Kusari optronics, which were very likely to have been tampered with, rather than his usual trick of taking our gold to Kusari. I chased him away from the planet back to Stokes, only to find him trying to sneak round the other side of the sun. He made the mistake of broadcasting his position over public channels. Naturally, I moved in and left a rather large hole where his ship had been. Later on, we had a hacker gunship nosing around, by the Callsign of Methos. This makes the third time I've encountered him in the past week. We were roughly evenly matched in a one on one combat, despite an offer of help from one of our newest reserves, the HMS-Swordfish, who had been outfitted with a templar only an hour before. However, it seemed that his gunboat was unable to perform an engine killing manoeuvre, and so, using the superior turning rate of my challenger (now there's a phrase which doesn't crop up often), I was able to stay behind him and take him down. Just after that, we had another slaver from the LTC group pass through Leeds. I hadn't had the time to resupply, and I was forced to retreat.
