Below is the details of today's patrol in Liberty. We came up against incursions in the zone, as well as numerous pirates and rogues.
>Order incursion ~ CLASSIFIED
As I reported in for duty, Commander Darkmoor and Ensign Redline were already en route to Zone-21, where a possible terrorist fleet was amassing. As we entered the zone, a spatial was detected emerging from the gate. Showing no authorised papers, he was deemed a risk to the safety of the house and terminated.
After this one was dealt with, our attack wing proceeded into Alaska. Commander Darkmoor ordered we fan out and attempt to locate the targets. After just a few minutes of searching, they were located near the Omicron Minor jumphole. Commander Darkmoor and myself ordered the captains to release their prisoners and return to Minor.
After a tense couple of minutes, the captain of the Anath simply entered the jumphole to Minor, carrying with her dozens of Navy hostages. At that point, Commander Darkmoor ordered us to engage all Order ships in the area. The Norad-II was downed, however, the gunboat Kage.Hataku managed to evade us.
Throughout the engagement, an unknown Navy "officer" was ordering us to cease fire on the terrorist ships. He voiced his opinion about how these Order scum are apparently our "friends"

I took this as a possible breech of security - He may have been a spy among the ranks. He not only questioned orders, but also blatantly disregarded orders from Commander Darkmoor. We abided by protocol and attempted to arrest the possible spy. However, he opened fire and we defended ourselves. With his ship on fire, the spy made a run for Omicron Minor. We didn't pursue him - The risk would've been too great.
I hope the LSF can deal with this matter further.
>Pirate ~ New York
Coming back from Zone-21, I heard a distress call from a trader ship being pirated near Planet Pittsburg. Myself and a Hunter bomber, BHG|Fireball, moved to engage the pirate. We were on approach to Pittsburg when the lane was disrupted, however the pirate was already firmly within our sights. Our combined firepower brought down the unarmoured gunship swiftly.
>Pirates/Rogues ~ California
Before I had a chance to take a breath, more pirates had been confirmed in California. I made my way there as soon as possible and found two hostile gunboats and a fighter merely idling as I exited the jumpgate. All of the targets had hostages on board and I issued a verbal warning to release them. They failed to comply and were engaged with the full force of my weapons. The first gunboat went down fairly quickly, with the other gunboat managing to escape in the scuffle. As I left a mercenary to neutralise the final fighter, a Rogue Destroyer emerged from the New York jumpgate! I classed him as backup for the pirates and ordered the ship be destroyed immediately. Turns out, three bombers are more than sufficient to neutralise such a large threat.

>Commendations
Not really a commendation, however, Ensign Redline managed to land a supernova hit onto Commander Darkmoor's Upholder during the classified battle in Zone-21. An excellent shot that should be ingrained on his record forever.
