Greetings, this is Cino Marquez of the Corsair Brotherhood.
Once again, I was attacked on my ship Lightsaber.
Also at Freeport 5.
I gave commands to undock from station Leon and head to gamma to aid my brothers against Hessians.
They've bombarded me pretty hard as we were alone on one versus 10!
I gave commands to return to 41 and so we did.
I was in within the range of Freeport 5 scanners and I was attacked by a enemy pilot.
The pilot proceeded to fire on me right next to Freeport 5, I gave commands to my officer to not return fire.
I than proceeded to dock Freeport 5 to avoid destruction, but I was too late.
The hostile ship opened heavy artillery on me and I was destroyed as I was docking Freeport 5.
I was close to the station and they have managed to save me and my crew before our ship was shot down.
We are now resting in the cantina, hoping that some one will read our transmissions.
Sincerely, Captain Cino Marquez and the crew of the gunboat Lightsaber

>>This is the evidence I present you<<

Signing off.

Dear Rawling

Thank you for your report on the HoT vessels. They seem to be able to fool the IFF system for Freeport One. I'll be making sure to get this corrected soonest.

Respectfully, James Church






Dear Mr. Peters.

It seems that a thorn I had thought dealt with has once again come back to poke into the sides of those around the Freeport.

The HoT, as they are known, have actually been at one point listed as hostile to the Freeport. There is a standing kill on sight order on them so I'm not certain what form of identification baffler they are using to fool the station's automated defences. Needless to say I shall be looking into this issue at once.

The only variable in this situation is the ship called Jblee. He shall be dealt with. I would like to thank you for taking the time to report this incident.

Respectfully, James Church




Dear Mr. Burton.

Oh dear me. Those HoT vessels are certainly proving to be a more persistent group than I would have given them credit for. Not only have they been able to baffle the automated targeting systems and docking restrictors on Freeport One but they have also been attacking Zoner vessels near the Freeport. Rest assured that this will be dealt with immediately.

Respectfully, James Church







Dear Mr. Cino

Your first report is something that I'm not able to do anything about. To be quite honest your second one is not either. I shall tell you why now. In your first report, none of the guncam images that you have given show Freeport 5. I am unable to place your location because to be quite honest, one rock looks much like another. In the second report yes you have Freeport 5 there. But I can see from the condition of your hull that this fight had not started recently, who started the fight? Where was the fight started? If it started away from the Freeport then who brought it there? These are all important questions that need to be asked and answered and unfortunately given the images I cannot place who is at fault here.

Respectfully, James Church



//Apologies for the delayed response everyone. I've been avoiding Freelancer a bit lately so that's the reason for the big gap in answering. I'll try to be more punctual with my responses in future, I'm tagging this to E-mail me when people post.

I wish to report that a pirate by name of "Tutashkia", whom we engaged on grounds of destroying BPA ejection pods, fled to FP1 from Cambridge. In accord with the treaty, we pursued and attacked him within the premises of the NFZ.

However, he docked on your station, effectively ending the engagement.

Here is evidence of the pirate undocking. -Attached file-

Good evening administrators, Sarah John-Kane in particular.

Attached is an excerpt from my recent report on an engagement with the Corsairs attacking our colonisation efforts on Sprague. It appears they are stupid enough to turn their guns onto the Zoners as well, and unfortunately a couple of your ships were critically damaged.

A Discordian came to try and settle it peacefully but I heard they shot him down. This obviously soured the neutrality of the FP1 administration, who came to sort things out only to be destroyed too.

I leave the consequences in your hands.

Inspector Thomas Page

Good evening, Inspector.

We meet again, and not in the best of ways, once more.
I have already been contacted by the TAZ regarding this issue and i am also getting a report from the captain of the downed Freeport One vessel.

As for the consequences of their actions today in Omega-3, you can be certain they will be most severe. From denying their worthless hides entry in my station, to unleash the Reaver Mercenary Company on them and their families, my options are many.. And equally devastating.

As their barbaric attack was.

Thank you for your timely support once again, Inspector.
As always, you will be very welcome to Freeport One and regarded as a protector of our people.

Sarah John-Kane,
Administrator,
Freeport One.

Ms. John-Kane,

Indeed, it appears the Omegas are beginning to draw attention again, with civilians caught in the middle. My thoughts are with the crews of the Zoner ships damaged in this incident, and any others who suffer because of the Corsairs.

I found it rather... strange to be working alongside Silver (and any Reavers in the future), especially considering the side they chose during Smallwood's sieges. I suppose as long as you or someone else throws enough credits their way, the Corsairs will be targets instead of myself and other Bretonians.

Omega-3 and Cambridge are almost like my back garden, I will make it a priority to stop any of the brutes in the area, especially if they are threatening any innocent lives.

Regards,
Inspector Thomas Page

Inspector,

I see the Reavers as an agent of destruction and mayhem. Not a good thing, especially their given history in the Omegas and Bretonia. But for what little i know from the Silver Reaver, is that she sees herself and the Reavers as weights that move in a scale.
Balance, you might call it.

They freely move to one plate of those scales to the other, balancing it out, and keeping a similar distribution of power between all the players that are vying for control in the Omegas.

A solid notion, especially to a Zoner like me, that has seen the violence that wakes and grapples the Omegas systems everyday.

So yes, although i know Bretonia eyes them as terrorists, they have their use in stabilizing this region.

And on that note, did you knew that Rheinland eyed the Mandalorians in the same way?
Guess it all depends on the eye of the beholder.

Sarah John-Kane,

Topic: Security conditions in Omega 3

Good evening, administrators of Freeport 1.

When I left my office for the holidays, I was in a good mood. It had been quiet around Omega 3 for a while, I would say, but on a bigger scale, it seems as though things haven't gotten much better. In recent weeks, I learned, our security wings have been struggling with several Corsair attacks launched against the Sprague project. It leaves one to wonder what caused this surge in aggressive activity. Just yesterday, I received reports about another clash between the Armed Forces and a Corsair fleet.

And while our pilots and the Armed Forces risk their lives to stabilize the area and defend Talbot and its civilian inhabitants against such savages, you should know better than to offer them refuge. Moreover, it is unacceptable for you to provide them with an outpost to launch their warships from.

Attached Files: Image File 01

This is a piece of evidence that crossed my desk a few days ago. It is footage recorded on the 28th December, the day of a large Corsair offense that almost resulted in the destruction of Port Talbot.

The implications are clear to me, and I am taking appropriate measures, but how can I rely on such incidents not happening in the future?


With regards,

Good evening Freeport administrators,

I'm contacting you about a freelancer who dragged a group of Bowex security and a BAF capitol vessel towards Freeport 1.

Callsign of this Bounty Hunter Bottlenose gunship with Freelancer papers was "Widow". Shots have been fired in direct orbit of the freeport resulting in the destruction of 1(one) Eagle Class security fighter callsign Bowex)confused.llama.

Our security and the Bretonian Captain of the Eastbourne did their best to maintain integrity of the No-fire zone but the captain of the "Widow" clearly tried to foster war.

The engagement started far prior to the Freeport No-Fire zone and was dragged into it.

Seeing as the majority of the guncam shots that incriminate the "widow" more was destroyed during the destruction of the Bowex security vessel thus we're merely informing you of what happend.

Kind Regards,

Richard Farbridge

Dear Mr. Thompson

It's clear that the Ship in question was at Freeport One. It is not clear whether the vessel in question launched from Freeport One, and if it did whether or not it was a brief stopover. I do not condone the docking or launching of any capital class vessel not of Zoner origin, I cannot commit to taking action beyond a request to stay off the station without clear evidence of this ship captain taking off from the station and performing acts against the laws of the Freeports.

Respectfully.
James Church





Dear Mr. Farbridge

There is evidence of Combat in the vicinity of the Freeport yes. I cannot see any actual evidence of the fight being taken within Freeport limits. Without this crucial piece of evidence I can take no action beyond a strong caution to both parties about gunshots near the freeport.

Respectfully
James Church
