An Order fighter was detected near planet Manhattan. The pilot was very slow to respond to both verbal interaction and weapons fire. I suspect a pandemic of mental illness among the Order as nearly all my encounters with them to date have displayed similar symptoms.
One outcast Trident, and a Lane hacker Gunship were firing on transports between Ft bush and Manhattan. They had considerable fighter escorts as well. I assisted Liberty forces in removing all threats.
A trade vessel was held up by an independant pirate gunboat. The pirate demanded 3 million credits despite a navy gunboat being present. The pirate engaged thus making himself a valid target. The pirate gunboat also had a bomber escort, and my scans showed that the Navy ship would almost certainly be destroyed in the encounter. The bomber was killed almost instantly. I engaged the pirate gunship, and then succeeded in causing involuntary loss of matter cohesion. Due to my assistance the Navy gunboat survived with approximately 10% hull integrity remaining.
