During my Standard Partol Through the Lanes i found some Pirates, they Pirated. Two of them Runned but I catched One of Them Vessel Named : 'Sunnlight'. After all I catched one More Pirat at an Lane near Colorado Vessel Named : 'Crippler'. That was all for Today. Thanks for Reading this Report.
As I was docked with Newark Station waiting for some action and talking with some friends, I received a distress call from SFC|Isaac.Hooler. A group of Xenoes had engaged the Liberty Navy in Colorado. I responded to the call and as I arived to the fight I recognized a familar name, Sonya Mosby. I suspected that she had just recently joined the Xenos and this was her first fight against the Navy. I took some shots and by that time the Xenos were loosing the fight, Sonya was eventually put out of action.
As for the meaning behind why she joined the Xenos, I will leave that to the speculators but it clearly has something to do with her recent removal from the Liberty Security Force.
I have read the report made by Lieutenant James Lambert that concerned a strange encounter with two nomad vessels. As I was reading his report I was called to action in California to investigate an Order presence, but as soon as I completed my jump to California two nomad morphs were picked up on my scanners. One named Sovereign and the other named Zoyag, both jumped back into NY before I was able to stop them. I jumped back to NY with Aren Wolfe of the LPI and a SFC officer whos name escapes me at the moment. Anyways, we immediately picked up the nomad signatures and began a pursuit. Zoyag broke off formation with Sovereignand I followed while the SFC pilot and Wolfe followed Sovereign.
The chase ended up with Wolfe opening fire on Sovereign, and strangely enough we were hit by ion wave and our systems were manufacturing and we called off the fight as it had seemed that the wave had affected the nomads as well. The nomads began to communicate with us much like they did in Lieutenant Lambert's report. I responded with questions, as we strained to understand what they were saying but I seemed to be understanding them better.
I then began to feel a slight pressure against my head. The nomads were asking me to open my mind, I did so after Wolfe insured me that he would open fire on my vessel if anything happened the LNS-Dallas was also standing by if something were to happened. I also wanted to communicate with them for these nomads were not like the others.
After I had "opened my mind" I was able to understand them more clearly. I mainly asked them question that would better my understanding of their intentions. I was eventually understood it all:
These nomads were young and had not decided who to follow: Aurora or Harbinger. If they were to followHarbinger they would be forced into mindshare which was a form of "mindcontrol." in which Harbingerused to control nomads such as Lt. Lambert explained. But if they decided to follow Aurora they would have freedom, what they would do with that freedom was undecided. They were in Liberty so that they could learn what freedom was like by watching us. They also told me that Aurora is in hiding from the others who follow Harbinger. They were afraid of what Harbingerwould do if he knew what they were doing, but the catch was that they didn't know if Harbingerknew about them or not.
I was able to feel their fear and worry and I could tell that these are not hostile nomads, not yet at least, but if they were to choose Harbingerthey would become slaves and follow his orders. I believe that this opens up a whole new level of research, that of the nomad society. We have previously thought that the nomads were soley a predatory race who seeked out the destruction of all other life, but this encounter and that of Lt. Lambert has revealed that the nomads have a hierarchical structure with Harbingeron top and nomads such as Aurora who do not follow Harbingerand seek out harmony and knowledge among Sirius.
I do not know whether this mind-link has had any lasting effects but I would assume that it is mainly used for communication. I was able to take some pictures of the conversation.

Fellow operatives of the Liberty Security Force
I have some rather disturbing intel to report. For some time now I have been hearing Freelancers speak of strange on-goings within the Coronado system, particularly in and around sector B7.
At preciously 08h00 this morning, I departed from Planet Los Angeles and set a course to this sector in order to investigate what may be causing the uneasiness of the Freelancers. The route from California to Coronado was smooth and uneventful, however this would not last.
I flew under LSF stealth regulations, therefore avoiding any unwanted attention. 5-K out of sector B7 my scopes started to read some very unusual signatures, ones that I had never seen before. I decided to proceed further into sector B7 to see if I could get a stronger reading. As I approached my scopes began to light up until finally I had a visual of the source of these readings. The silhouette of the structure was unmistakable as I had seen it once before, in Omicron Minor sector G4. It was undoubtedly a Nomad Jump Gate. A structure such as this so close to Liberty is cause for great concern as I'm sure you will all agree. However this is not where our troubles end.
In next to no time at all I was surrounded by Rheinland Class Fighters, however they did not give off Military signatures, similar but different enough not to be RM vessels. After referring to our archives I discovered the source of this signature. It does indeed originate from the Rheinland Fleet, however not the one we are at war with but rather that of the 801 AS Rheinland Fleet. In conclusion the hostile ships I encountered are that of Das Wilde. May I reiterate the fact that these ships are just two jumps holes away from Liberty Core Space.
I was taking heavy damage from their hybrid weapons so I felt I had no choice but to make use of the Alien Jump Gate. I managed to override the links and proceeded to jump. As with the Gate in Omicron Minor the speed was unbelievable. Upon arrival I was greeted with what seemed to be an entire fleet's worth of snub fighters and what appeared to be Gunships. I took evasive manoeuvres in order to avoid the onslaught of plasma heading in my direction. I realized that jumping to this system alone was a very bad idea. I powered up my cruise engines and was lucky enough to pull away from the hostile ships. Once I felt the gate was clear enough I proceeded to Jump back to Coronado.
Once clear, I spotted a lone Wilde ship and decided to take it on. After a five minute dogfight I disabled the ship and managed to tractor in the pilot. I realize that an infected human pilot poses a grave threat to Liberty however I feel it vital to figure out their realation to both the Nomads themselves, as well as the Das Wilde of the Omegas.
I am currently stationed on Willard Research Base in California and will proceed to Eureka Station once cleared.

Agent Vega here
Today, Liberty saw yet another invasion of her territory by quite a sizable Rheinland fleet.
Fortunately by means of a joint effort on the part of the Liberty Navy Secondary fleet core (SFC), 41st Liberty Navy Battlegroup and of course the LSF, we managed to hold the Rheinlanders back. Their forces included multiple Battleships and a swarm of cruisers, however this was not enough to stand up to the Liberty Forces. We did experiance some losses in terms of hardware but more importantly no Libertarian lives were lost.
I myself was tasked with cutting off the fleet's repair supply by engaging, "GTO" an enemy repair ship carrying large amounts of Nanobots and Shield Batteries. I managed to land a direct hit with my ship's SNAC however it must be said, I need some target practice.
As a side note, it must be mentioned that Xeno Alliance (XA) assets were also present at the battle and in actuality they played quite a big role in Liberty's victory today. Seems we have a common enemy.
seems like being in Bretonia causes one to get used to some customs...
Anyway, our flights in Leeds seems to be successful as the first prisoners were made.
One of my pilots reported to me that he'd transfered several gallic pilots to our mobile HQ - the =LSF=Hermes - with the help of a BAF vessel.
Right now the first step of interrogation starts aboard the Hermes and - if not successful - might be continued aboard one of our own facilities in Liberty.
The combined efforts of Liberty and Bretonian forces made it possible to capture the following subjects by now:
3 Cruiser captains
1 Gunboat captain
8 Fighter pilots
Any information given by those subjects will be relayed to the BIS as stated in our agreement with the bretonian officials.
Also the R&D might be interested in some material our pilot could recover from one of the gallic wrecks after the fights.
The gallics call it Promethene and it seems to be some kind of fuel for their ships. Yet we weren't able to made further researches on this material.
1. MISSION: Complete route reconnaissance from Bering to New Berlin via the Hamburg system in order to enable follow on operations.
2. SUMMARY: Mission accomplished. Two routes through Hamburg have been proven clear as of this date. While this is not new information this update confirms the routes remain clear for use. Mission was accomplished 100% covertly – see comments below on capture of Rheinland Federal Police personnel. Based on how thinly patrolled this in route is I recommend a strike be planned on a high value target in Rheinland core space.
3. OUTLINE OF ROUTES:
a. Route Alpha:
Bering Jump Hole --> Nordheide --> Kielfeld * --> Hannover [Dark Side]** --> Sudheide --> New Berlin Jump Hole
b. Route Bravo:
Bering Jump Hole --> Nordheide --> Alsterfeld*** --> Sudheide --> New Berlin Jump Hole
c. Commentary:
* - Requires passage through open space past a trade lane
** - Care must be taken to avoid scans from Vierlande Prison
*** - Requires passage through open space past a trade lane
*** - Wedel Mining Station is in the Asterfeld
4. ADDITIONAL POINTS:
a. Security: I was spotted by a 2 fighter Rheinland Federal Police patrol in the Nordheide. I destroyed their ships and took both pilots prisoner. Both were delivered to the Battleship Mississippi for interrogation. I was able to jam their communications due to the interference from the Nordheide field. Please find attached a declassified capture image in accordance with standing order LSF-PO-224 suitable for transmission to the Liberty Navy or Liberty Police, Inc as required.
b. Activity: Only a single 2 fighter patrol of the Rheinland Federal Police was encountered in the Nordheide. The Alsterfeld contained sporadic Unioner patrols, particularly centred around their base at the Wedel Mining Facility. A lack of encounters with the Rheinland Military suggests their fighter wings remain held in reserve at the Battleship Westfalen.
1. MISSION: Respond to Interspace Commerce reports of pirate activity in the Galileo System.
2. SUMMARY: Mission partially successful. Liberty Rogue attacks were deterred along the Trade Lanes throughout the system but Interspace Commerce vessels were damaged directly after arriving in Kusari space. Doctrinal implications follow.
3. OPERATIONAL SUMMARY:
I responded to calls from Interspace Commerce regarding increased Liberty Rogue activity in the Colorado and Galileo systems yesterday evening. I arrived on site in Galileo and commenced aggressive patrolling around the trade lanes and into nearby clouds. My long range scanners detected several contacts: 2 x Sabre VHF squawking Rogue and 1 x cruiser sized vessel, presumably "Scylla-class", squawking Rogue in the vicinity of Leiden. I kept my distance while continually monitoring the situation. The VHFs began to patrol outward, potentially trying to intercept me while the cruiser disappeared from my scanners. Due to the VHF patrols I was unable to re-establish contact.
At this point the LNS Yukon came on station in the system and initiated communications with me. It was agreed that the Yukon would set up at the Raiden bend to protect commerce along the trade lane route. I returned to my patrol route and kept the Yukon informed of enemy contacts: additional Rogue fighters and light capital class vessels. Upon them making scanner contact with the Yukon they however exited via the variety of jumpholes in the "Northwestern" sector of the system.
With the security situation improved another Interspace Commerce shipment was attempted. They cleared the Galileo system successfully but the Yukon received word that the corporate vessels were attacked by Rogues and heavily damaged. The Yukon's operational staff and I discussed this occurence and we estimate the vessel was attacked in Kusari space - KNF was not available to liaise with us to confirm. Due to our relative positions it is possible that the vessel was engaged in Galileo immediately prior to jumping but as I immediately proceeded to investigate the gate once receiving the report from Interspace Commerce and found no sign of the Rogues I deem this unlikely. In the interest of avoiding an international incident I did not proceed into Shikoku to investigate further. Despite this, a number of tertiary commercial shipments were kept safe by this joint operation.
4. ANALYSIS:
The Liberty Navy's big guns once again proved to be an asset to detering a growing threat from military-grade piracy. While this stymied piracy within our area of operations Liberty still was subject to economic damage prior to our set up and once out of our jurisdiction. Suggestions are as follows.
On a regular basis secondary and 41st fleet capital ships remain in strategic reserve within the New York system, often in orbit of Manhattan. I suggest consideration be made by the Navy to deploy these assets into the outlying Liberty systems (Colorado, California, Texas) and the Independent Worlds to both increase response time but more importantly to act as a deterrent to piracy. As observed in this case, the very presence of a capital ship in system scared the Rogues off. Cooperation between reconnaissance snubs (LSF) on patrol and heavier assets (Gunboats, capital ships) at fixed locations is a formula to be replicated. I have noticed the Navy has taken to deploying capital ships without snub cover - this removes the eyes and ears of our big guns. I would recommend Planet Curacao and the Raiden Bend as Independent World security points for the Navy.
In addition, corporate trade convoys should be encouraged to seek direct assistance from the Liberty military where required. During a recent attack by the CGS I escourted a BAF Merchant Navy vessel in California via circuitous route to its destination. With Westpoint Academy under siege we looped around via California -> Ontario -> Colorado to their destination in Pittsburgh. Cooperation in this case enabled mission success for the Bretonians resulting in both strategic resupply for our allies and economic boon for Liberty industries. This is not what we saw in the Galileo system yesterday. Rather than seek escourt from the Yukon and I, the Interspace vessels decided not to wait for us to arrive resulting in their initial damage. Once they had repaired for another attempt the Rogues had already moved into ambush positions out of our juridiction. Had the merchants waited until we set up a cordon and then proceeded it is very likely they would have safely arrived at their destination in Kusari.
Should you consider these recommendations to hold water I can draft a more formal recommendation for the Navy doctrine cell or another outside entity.
