So I found myself entering New York again an hour ago. I was expecting to be noticed by the Navy or someone and have them intercept me as soon as I entered the system, but it turned out they weren't around.
So I took the liberty of sightseeing Manhattan, where I found some Hacker and a Merc fighting some Navy-Cop-looking dudes. A Gunboat and a Guardian. Haven't had a fight in a long time, so why not. Jumped in and shot myself some cops. Good training, needed it for a while now. Killed the Guardian, though the guncam I didn't want to capture that kill, and the Gunboat was smashed by the Hacker. Though on the way back, the Merc decided to switch contracts and kindly let me know that I was bountied. And that he was going to cash in on it. So why not, let us shoot some Mercs. Good fight, had me going for some good 15 minutes. Whooped his ass though.
And that's about it.

Exceta here. I have managed to hack the Navy Database and I found some info on their stations:
The first one is Washington Shipyard, orbiting Planet Columbia. It's here that the so-called Liberty Assault Carriers are built. Also its protected by the Arlington Minefield, which only entry is guarded by 2 well-equipped Liberty Battlecruisers.Big Trouble. Avoid at all costs the station and its minefield;
Then there's Radford Research Station, deep within a black nebula, which name is unknown by now. The Navy makes some researches on the nebula phenomenons. Not a huge risk;
Richmond Military Academy. Navy pilots are heavily patrolling this area, as well as multiple weapon platforms guarding the station. Big Trouble. Avoid at all costs.;
The final station is the Battleship James. It guards the Texas gate with the help of 2 Incursor-class Liberty Battlecruiser. Big Trouble. Avoid at all costs.
That's the only data I could achieve before the Navy spotted me and closed the database. I hope this data will be used to know more about Virginia.
That's all for now. Michael 'Exceta' Yellowstone, over and out
Fleet Commander Kinnaird reporting in. At the helm of the Libertine, we set an ambush for a pair of Navy Cruisers in the New York system. We waited at the California Jump Gate and the two ships, an Assault Battlecruiser and Siege Cruiser, walked right into the trap.
As always, the Libertine's veteran crew swiftly smote the enemy vessels.

Fleet Captain Fauk brought his personal Prosecutor to the scene, but by the time he arrived it was already over. He engaged an LPI Avenger, callsign GTX590, but the officer fled while being screened by tertiary fleet lackeys.
We returned to Vespucci via California. It was relatively uneventful, save for some BHG vessels which watched in awe as our mighty battleship flew past.

Greetings My Friends, Pilot First Class Epps here.
Conducted another successful Mission in California today with Grand Admiral Sera, who called me to Sector E5 to help him pin a Liberty Carrier. I proceeded to do so while being engaged by a Navy Pilot in his guardian, yet i prevailed and held the carrier down long enough for the Admiral to take control of a nearby Battleship on Skywatch. I pinned the Carrier and his friend at Mojave and held them there until the Admiral arrived and engaged the Carrier. The lone Guardian turned to fight the Battleship, mistake, as i was able to engage him , forcing him to disengage, leaving the admiral enough time to pulverize the enemy carrier. We proceeded to pull out of the fightzone and did so without interruption before the battleship returned to Skywatch , i had a small talk with a freelancer who assisted me with Bots and Batteries during the fight, told him of our cause and where to find our recruitment office. He returned home filled with the Image of a Glorious Victorious Legion.
It is with great pride that High Command announces the completion of a new Arbiter multi-role Battleship, the HFB-Leviathan. It is the sister ship of the Behemoth, and has been assigned to Task Force Warhammer.
Along with this demonstration of the Legion's raw military might, we have two important officer promotions to announce.
Grand Admiral Marco Sera has been promoted to the Executive Commander of the Legion. Behold the right hand of the Legion which sunders the unworthy!
Fleet Commander Dane Kinnaird has been promoted to Grand Admiral, and is reassigned to the recently completed Leviathan as its commanding officer.
Finally, a message to all of our stalwart soldiers: Stand strong in the face of adversity! Remember that our cause is most just, and we will prevail!
Admiral Kinnaird speaking from the Captain's quarters aboard the Leviathan.
Our maiden voyage has been more eventful than I anticipated. Our task force initiated a Glaive-pattern sweep across the lower core belt and we encountered no resistance until we reached the Texas system. We were accompanied by the bombers Beta 4 and Raptor, piloted by Lt Markus Epps and PFC Chavez James respectively.
[29.03.2012 15:44:31] Death: BuB. was killed by [HF]-Raptor (Gun)
- Liberty Navy Gunboat.
[29.03.2012 15:46:56] Death: Alan_Polstari was killed by [HF]-Raptor (Gun)
- Liberty Navy Avenger VHF.
A primary fleet officer, Jane Hartman, recovered Polstari's escape pod before we could get a lock on her interceptor. The task force then returned to the New York system. To our surprise, we encountered a Rogue Scylla-class Destroyer near the Texas Jump Gate, but it fled into the Badlands before we could destroy it.
Not willing to risk getting caught between Rogue and Navy reinforcements, I ordered the task force to head to California. We had nearly jumped clear when an LSF Liberator spotted us and called in reinforcements. Soon, we were outnumbered by a multiple fighters and a pair of Gunboats at the California Gate. However, none of their vessels posed the slightest threat on their own, and thanks to some deft manoeuvring from the helm, we re-aligned with the Jump Gate and broke through to Cali.
At this stage, the Beta 4 was badly damaged and we brought it aboard. That just left PFC James as our snub cover. Suboptimal as the situation was, things took a turn for the worse when the Navy officer Jane Hartman reappeared in pursuit of the Leviathan. Unfortunately, her Light Fighter was able to gain on us. PFC James turned back of his own accord and engaged Hartman, buying enough time for the Leviathan to get out of range of any Naval pursuers.
We just managed to recover the PFC and what was left of his ship. For his excellence in battle today and his sacrifice which preserved valuable Legion assets, I have decided to promote Chavez James to Lieutenant and award him the Phoenix's Tears medal.
Is this the sorry piece of [color=#F3E88E][censored] [censored] Im supposed to report in? I swear couldnt you have [color=#F3E88E][censored] given me some [censored] specific instructions on where Im supposed to [censored] report to? I spent the last 2 [censored] hours trying to find this channel.

Lieutenant Epps here,
Had a little incursion into New York today, arrived at Manhattan to a rather large gathering of Civilians and a few Navy Representatives, a Dreadnaught , a Gunboat and a Guardian to be exact. After a rather long talk with the Pilot of the Fighter, he again proved the Navy being Cowards, seeing he was hiding behind a Gunboat and a Dreadnaught, so i decided to have a little fun with him before he left.
[font=Palatino Linotype]SO GET THIS! No really, [censored] get this. I go to New York to have some fun with the [color=#F3E88E][censored] that hang around there and I meet the most spineless [censored] navy pilot that probably ever [censored] existed. I cant tell you how pathetic he was. But WHATEVER, some cop showed up to try and do his job. He didnt, although he could at least [censored] fly his Liberator. So yeah the cop dies THEN some two navy pilots find their spine and fight me.
First just one tried, some little [censored] Primary Fleet pilot. Yeah he got his behind [censored] handed to him so he decided to call for more backup. NO PROBLEM, I say to myself. So more people come, he gets more repairs, the spineless dude almost dies but unfortunately, eventually I had to pull out. Even though I almost killed both of them and man, I cant tell you how bad I wanted to get the spineless dude, I had no more repairs and my ship was on fire so YE, I pulled out.
BUT LISTEN, IM GONNA FIND THAT PRIMARY FLEET [censored] MEMBER AND IM GONNA [censored] HIM UP SO BAD HE WILL NEED TO GET HIMSELF A MEDICALLY ENGINEERED [censored] TO [censored] THROUGH!
