***Incoming Transmission*** Location:Ouray Base Comm ID:Lieutenant Marius Pain
Pain here, dropping off the daily report from yesterday. I was hunting some pirates in the New York system. An anonymous pilot directed me to the West Point area. Instead of the expected pirates I was "warmly" greeted by a Navy operative. Now when I think about it, that might have been a well prepared trap, but I skillfully dealt with the threat:
An important detail to note is that the entirety of the engagement took place in New York, as the cloaked ships jumped back through to fight us get killed. The Minotaur went first, to soak up their fire and do as much damage as possible while the rest of our fleet came through the gate resulting in their deaths. Unfortunately the Minotaur took critical damage and had to release an emergency ECM pulse to escape, which prevented me from taking guncams of every ship destroyed, though I wouldn't doubt that others have them. Suffice to say, there was much slaughter, with no losses.

***Incoming Transmission*** Location:Freeport 4 Comm ID:Lieutenant Marius Pain To:High Command Subject: Gallic presence in the Border Worlds
Greetings, there's an urgent issue that requires your attention. Yesterday I was finishing a patrol in Liberty core space when I was intercepted by an LPI pilot in California. For some reason the bugger was preventing me from jumping to Magellan. Needless to say my reply was swift and precise:
After I cleaned house I proceeded to the Freeport for some repairs. About 10 kliks from the station I detected an unknown contact. I have never seen such an enormous battleship before. However the well-polished hull and bourgeois accent over the comms gave it all up. The fact that the Gallics have reached so far came as a shock, and how a battleship of this size slipped past our recon wings is beyond me. Someone in HQ needs to conduct a more in-depth research on the matter.
Anyways, what dazzled me even more was that the Liberty navy seemed to be in cahoots with the foreigner.
The Liberty forces on the scene consisted two identical "Geb" class carriers and a couple of "Guardian" fighters. A rogue destroyer appeared out of nowhere and was almost immediately vaporized by the LSF. I had to retreat to the safety of the Freeport because I was next on the hit list. No further data was gathered.
It's late but I only just had the extra time to file this report.
Solo recon mission in Bering with the Arclight, I was doing some counter-espionage on Rheinland assets, well, I was. When I got pinged about a shootout that was happening "above" the Texas gate, upon arriving, to my surprise I saw quite an interesting fight. A Naval and LSF pilot along with a Siege Cruiser were in combat with two Wilde-origin gunboats.
I was at first going to wait but they seemed quite intent on killing each other and I saw a way to inflict quite a bit of damage on both the alien and government forces. By the time I had engaged the Wilde gunboats were damaged as well as the Siege Cruiser, I opened up my weapons and destroyed one of the gunboats before aiming my turrets at the LSF operative and blowing him to steaming bits. The Siege cruiser at this point was still being focused by the other gunboat and I also opened fire on it, between our firepower the Siege cruiser's reactor exploded in a glorious flaming ball of fire and death. At this point only the 36th officer as the single gunboat was left, both damaged.
For some reason they were quite enraged and focused on each other until the explosion of the siege cruiser. I locked onto the gunboat and damaged it heavily along with the officer. I didn't outright destroy it and waited for the gunboat to finish off the 36th officer, once that had been done I mopped up the Wilde Gunboat and finished the engagement. No hostile forces were left alive.
Unfortunately I do not have much guncam data available, but it will have to suffice.

Fleet Admiral Ryan Williams; for your actions in the field which demonstrate exemplary performance in a solo operation, High Command has seen fit to award you with the Purifying Flame.
Konnichiwa! Warrior Major Wei here.
Yesterday, I wanted to remove my “Roc” to Ouray in Colorado. Launched from Freeport 4, and moved to California, than to New York. The Liberty Gunboat, named “PLi-Blue” , stopped me not so far at ‘hattan. He was a really big aggressor, so I needed to disrupt him.
After some actions with LIbert’ Gunboat, I moved my “Roc” to Colorado, and left it there. But seated into my “Prosecutor” and departed on Patrol. I caught a Liberty Navy Spatial, IFF’ed Freelancer. I guess, he was with money on the board and tried to run from Liberty. I stopped that rich pig and killed.

Raison, got an assignment for you.
Due to future investment plans, the Legion will be needing updates of corporate background. Particularly, the Independent Miners Guild, specifically their operations within the Taus and Omegas, as we know that those areas are there main zones of influence and interest. Their new allies, enemies, state of income, strike group numbers as well as any shady groups that influence them, if any. As detailed as possible.
The same goes for Planetform Incorporated. While we know for a fact that they're a much smaller corporate entity, our plans require updated information on them as well.
Get it done Raison, I'll be awaiting your report in due time.
Fleet Admiral Ryan Williams,

After Omegas… I started moving to Taus. But on my way I found two bases. One IMG owned in Cambridge, other Planetform owned in New London.
Did Screens… And Scanned the bases.
Starting Upload.
After that two station, moved to Leeds where I met BMM tagged ship at planet Leeds.
We had chat about IMG… He really know something about them, he said IMG are their competitors.
Well look at the record…
Starting Updoad.
Our chat ended on nothing because, BPA undocked from Planet Leeds. That’s was alert for me, and I must left Leeds what I did. Removed to Tau-31.
There, in Tau-31, I meved to Planetform Planet Harris, and landed.
Not much to say on Planetform other than what we know already, no changes in their policies for years, I've been to Planet Harris to check out some of their handi work from close up, it seems to be on par with the standards they advertise. Other than the standard pirate groups after the transports, I havent found any connections to any group that might compromise the Legion.
Few Cameras screened my ship, “Spyglass” Intercepted screens…
The land controlling by Gallic Government, IMG in Neutral status with Gallics, but have problems with ‘casts.
I need some relaxation… Will stay on Java… And will return to Liberty tomorrow.
Raison out.

Very good Raison.
It seems the IMG hasn't had too many changes in recent times and my other contacts have confirmed some of my diplomatic assumptions, it seems they can be worked with.
Your data confirms that, good job.
Williams out.

Major Salia Wei reporting in!
I took my “Roc” for easy patrol though New York. At Norfolk, Liberty Navy Freighter something like “Stopped” me and engaged… After his death, I saw LSF on scanner, and engaged him. Killed’im as a dog! Also, Junker Frigate, for all fight time looked and waiting on his turn? Don’ow, burned that Frigate like others. And almost alive returned to Ouray. But returned…
