Good day, and goodbye, Legion. I won't go into the reasons as to why I am leaving you, but I will provide you with a saying. 'Life is too short'. I'm moving on, maybe I'll go to Kusari or something, somewhere where I won't be hunted, but I can't do this anymore. I can't lead.
I'm handing you over to the man who was leading for me during my absence. Lord Commander Tadao Mori.
Comm ID Lord Commander Mori Tadao Target ID
The Hellfire Legion
The Lord Commander has left us at a most unfortunate time for all of us. Since the Commander's departure, I have been occupied with paperwork, keeping the Legion running of a day-to-day basis. In these dark days, we need a brave few to keep the torch lit. The Legion will prevail only with your help. It was a sad day when the Lord Commander left us, but we will recover in time. We always have. We always will. With the war against Rheinland, Liberty is weaker than ever. We need men. We will not spend time worrying over what to do next. The time for a strike against Liberty is now, but for that, we need to bolster our ranks. I charge you all with recruitment. The man or woman who makes the most quality recruits within the next two months, as determined by me, will receive a special prize. We need men.
However, men alone will not win Liberty for us. Several long-running projects are coming to a close now. Soon, the Legion will once again have a technological advantage against the Libertonians. We will prevail.
Good luck, men. Keep the torch lit in the days to come. I'm counting on you.
While i was in the middle of my routine patrol today, A hacker friend of mine contacted me, via private comms. He insisted that there were 2 Liberty Capital Ships in New York. Causing a nuisance. I decided to
act, and we rendezvoused at Buffalo. We obviously realized that 2 ships was not enough for 2 capitals.
We decided to look for aid, And we found it. We managed to find an unlawful mercenary, rogue, and a pirate gunboat. Consisting of, 2x VHF | x2 Bombers | x1 Gunboat . Just before we were about to set out,
another unlawful contacted me via private comms, that One of the Capitals had engaged him.
We rushed to his position, arriving in time to aid him. The Capital Ship that had engaged him was known as
''SLICE'' , A Liberty Assault Battlecruiser. Moments later, It was destroyed.
Moments after that, Scanners picked up a large vessel. Something we did not expect, A Liberty Assault Carrier ''Yorktown'' It opened fire upon us almost instantly. And we retaliated. I demanded the Yorktown to
Surrender, but no response.
A navy bomber entered the fight, known as ''Captain.Nudel'' , but was destroyed seconds later.
Halfway through the battle, The Yorktown decided to shoot anything on sight, Including Civilians. A junker and another civilian lost their ships. We lost a hacker in the battle, but for a good price.
The Yorktown's Hull began to breach, We were almost at Victory.
We ended its hull with a coordinated SNAC strike, which finished it off.

After the battle, i was pleased with everyone's effort, and invited to the legion.
Beginning my patrol in the 'Leniex Asteroid Cloud', Hacker satellites picked up an unknown contact, also in the cloud. I hailed the pilot via long range comms, and received no response. I took the coordinates from the satellite and traveled to the pilots position. Once in short comms range, I hailed again, and received reply.

Requesting a new controller aboard the Ravager, This one has been pathetic.
I suggest questioning him too, Might be a spy...

Hooked up with Matt Tanner to run a short patrol through to Liberty. California was empty, but hacking into the comms arrays alerted us to the presence of two LSF vessels in Texas, making their way towards New York.
We decided to intercept, but were delayed by a cruiser patrol we encountered near Mojave. Fortunately it didn't prove much of a hindrance, and we were able to take out the two guardians escorting the cruiser and gunboats, before making our way to the New York jump gate.
We hacked the gate without difficulty, and as we jumped through we literally landed right on top of the two LSF vessels. After one of the pilots was foolish enough to demand the return of the navy pilot I had safely stored in my hold for questioning, they moved to engage us.
.
Matt suffered a weapons malfunction a short way into the fight, his mine dropped jamming and causing his payload to explode. FOrtunately I was able to tractor in his escape pod before the LSF could target it. I continued to fight off the LSF, and soon enough the first fell, equalling the odds somewhat.
The second pilot proved a slightly greater challenge, though again she was no match for my Sabre, and was soon going evasive and sending out distress calls. When a number of navy vessels showed up, including a couple of gunboats, I broke off, leaving one of The Joker's thugs deeply mired in the midst of a number of vessels. I have no idea what happened to him, nor do I really care. His presence eased my withdrawal, which is all that matters.
Today, An interesting encounter occurred in Magellan, Not far from Mactan.Joyeuse, Under attack by Bretonian Lawfuls. I received his distress signal and launched from Mactan for the Assist.
The Bretonians called in assistance from the Mandalorians, We also, Called in reinforcements to even up the scale, involving the NTF.
Both sides took casualties, Including pilot Joyeuse. Luckily, He was close enough to Mactan for a successful escape. I myself, Shot down 3 Hostiles during the encounter, A Mandalorian, The Bretonian Fleet Commander and a Bretonian Captain. I am unsure on how this incident unfolded, hopefully someone can discuss details regarding this odd event.
It all started when our collegue, David Lake came under fire by Navy Personnel. Outnumbered Five to One,
He had no hope. He sent out a distress signal, which came to my and the Lord Commanders Attention, And
we set out.
Moments later, We arrived. And simply, Obliterated three Navy ships in a matter of seconds, The other two,
Couldn't take the heat and left. Lake, Ordered back for repairs left our wing. Guncam Transmissions . . .
The Lord Commander and myself, Took this opportunity to scan everything in New York.
