-------------------------------------------------------

Guten Tag Piloten,

Been a long time since I could report a flawless victory of the Rheinwehr and the complete and utter destruction of enemy forces, but today's happenings were bigger and more glorious than any smaller defeat we had to suffer in the short past.

Training with Leutnant Bjorn Chezberger


The day begun with a training. Herr Chezberger led it. First of all, we assembled to fix the transmitter of Flieger Axel Koch and after having it in place, we headed for Braunschweig to begin the training. The only smaller encounter we had were two corsair fighters, designated as Raptor[EVO.g2h] and Banshee_[Zork.g2h], Herr Chezberger finished them in under a minute, they stood no chance.

The training was supervised by Herr Westerman and Herr Major General Engels, Herr Westerman eventually had to leave due to some system malfunctions. Herr Chezberger, who was leading the training as I mentioned before, scattered Oxygen tanks around the area in hopes of inventing a new method of united target practice (without colliding into each other when pursuing a target), but it failed due to the lack of our understanding. We were eventually ordered to destroy the tanks and begin a standard combat simulation.

Two teams were set up during the practice and we were ordered to simulate a real life combat situation. My team was consistant of Major General Auztin Engels, Hauptgefreiter G?nter Weissman and myself. The opposing force was led by Herr Leutnant Bjorn Chezberger, with Feldwebel Maximillian Voss and Flieger Axel Koch as his wingmen. As the simulation began, we targetted Flieger Koch, as it was ordered by Herr Engels. We eventually took him out, I scored the killing few shots. Leutnant Chezberger was our next target, but since the Op4 was targetting Major General Engels since the start, he was lost before the Leutnant was disabled by a missile. As Herr Engels went down, the "enemy" tried to focus fire on me and I was almost killed when Herr Voss ran out of nanobots and he was killed by a wayward missile aswell. The simulation was very successful, I particularly enjoyed flying with pilots who had such an amazing level of skill and not to mention, we also got ourselves prepared for the next assignment. The assault and occupation of the Texas system from the hands of the Libertonians.

Rheinwehr victory in assault against the Texan Libertonians

As the training was over, Major General Engels ordered us to mobilize. We were planning to go against Texas. Of course, our morale immediately went up to the sky, everyone was eager to fight the Libertonian schweinen. I got back to the Strausberg to switch to hop into my bomber and went off to the meeting point at Hamburg. We quickly assembled the wings. Herr Engels led the operation, Herr Chezberger gave orders during the battles. Other pilots were Feldwebel Voss, Hauptgefreiter Drum and Flieger Koch flying Wraiths, I was the only one besides Herr Engels and Herr Chezberger who chose the bomber. A reserve gunboat, called the RNC Biber Blazer also escorted us to the assignment. The only remarkable encounter we had during the journey to Texas was a pirate train belonging to a Lane Hacker side-faction of some sort. It was designated as VR-VTS-Eclipse, and its cargo hold contained 4279 enslaved men and women. The Leutnant ordered the slaver to release his cargo and since he realised he was in no position to negotiate, he jettisoned his cargo hold into the space in a large capsule. The Rotes Kreuz eventually collected the poor souls and took them to Hamburg to begin a new life. We met the trader at Freeport 2, where he taunted us abusing the neutrality of the ceasefire zone, but he didn't cause any further problems.

No resistence awaited us when our way into Texas was made. The area was clear and we were free to proceed to Planet Houston with only the automated trade lanes shooting at us. About 10 clicks away from the planet, we met our first contact, a Guardian-class Very Heavy Fighter, designated as Cougar 1763, belonging to the 27F Squad, according to his affiliation. Either because he was only a recon ship or because he was scared to death, he retreated literally as soon as he saw us. We were not to pursue. We passed Houston without resistance and Herr Major General Engels ordered us to take positions near the Trade Lanes and await incoming targets. An LSF Agent, called Escrisma tried making way through our forward lines, but the ship turned back as soon as he realised the might we represented.

We didn't have to wait too long for a real battle, fortunately. The LNS Michigan, a Liberty Assault Carrier got caught up in our Trade Lane interruption sequence, he was obviously summoned by the Libertonian ships we scared off earlier. The united might fell upon the careless carrier as we were ordered to attack the ship. The monstrosity's defence systems collapsed like a card castle as we melted its hull with our Supernova antimatter cannons. The beast's life was only made a few minutes longer as a Mercenary Bottlenose-class gunboat designated as John.T, the recon fighter designated Cougar 1763, the LSF Agent, Escrisma and a Liberty Assault Battlecruiser, the LNS Enterprise arrived. The fighters were to focus on the recon-Guardian, which got rather quickly dispatched, while the bombers tried taking down John.T, which was evading relatively well. As soon as it was neutralized, the Enterprise was our next target. We almost took the LABC down, but since we, bombers, were ordered to focus our fire on a newly arriving gunboat, the Wolfsbane, the Battlecruiser Enterprise managed to slip out to Virginia. The captain of the Wolfsbane was obviously new to his duties, as his ship was quickly taken out. Afterwards, only the Michigan remained, I personally managed to shoot the final SNAC projectile into the Carrier's reactore core. That's how the first battle went, the only ship the Libertonians could take out discounted the RNC Biber Blazer was a bystanding fighter belonging to the Junker Congress, which was most probably accidentally shot down by the Michigan.

The next battle begun a minute later, with the arrival of an LSF agent, called Johny Leroy. He was alone and we were ordered to take him out. The ship managed to evade quite well and make his way through to Planet Texas without suffering too many major wounds. LSF Agent Blackcomb and the Liberty Navy fighter flown by Virgil Redline soon entered the combat zone to assist Leroy against our forces, a rather heavy and fast-paced battle followed, as Cpt. Rommel joined the fight on our side and Inspector Trace Whitney from the LPI, the Liberty Navy Fighter Shade Walker, Vigilante Jayce Silvers, a Navy reserve ship called Aerelm and DSC-Void joined the Libertonians. The first enemy down was Agent Blackcomb, shot by Leutnant Chezberger, in orbit around Planet Houston. The LSF pilot obviously survived, as he was messaging from an escape pod after his ship was taken down. Reserve pilot Captain Rommel was the following and our only casualty during the engagement. His ship was disabled and destroyed by LSF Agent Leroy with a well-placed missile shot. For Herr Rommel, the Libertonians had to pay multiple times the price. The battle slowly got drifted away from the planet, as Herr Major General Engels was being shot at by the Libertonians from the very beginning of the first battle and he ran out of nanobots, even though he managed to survive the whole battle without actually leaving it. At that point, Inspector Whitney was taken out by a well placed SNAC shot of Herr Chezberger and almost immediately afterwards, Vigilante Silvers was also taken out. He wasn't exactly a skilled warrior, I don't think he lasted more than a minute. Navy ship Aerelm, DSC-Void, a ship that literally lasted for ten seconds and the Shade Walker were the enemy's next casualties, Agent Leroy and Virgil Redline managed to escape to Virginia. They also tried calling in a LABC, designated as Rocky Yellowstone, but realising they had no chance, the captain ordered an immediate retreat to Virginia.

We managed to completely defeat the Liberty Navy defending Texas without loosing one simple Military member and inflicting massive losses to the enemy side. We regrouped quickly and went off to resupply at a Junker installation. Everyone who was spectating, Bounty Hunters, Zoners, Junkers, Mercenaries and Miners congratulated us, they were obviously glad that we helped them get rid of the opressive Libertonian authorities. Texas was freed and we returned to Rheinland. I docked to Westfalen to resupply, get some strudels, rest and write the report. Glorious day this was.

Rheinland Military Promotions

Congratulations piloten.

[color=#00FF00]Due to your honorful duties for the Kanzler and Rheinland, High Command approved the following promotion requests:


Leutnant Bjorn Chezberger to Major, skipping the rank Oberleutnant:
Bjorn Chezbergers duties are way beyond the duties of a normal Leutnant in the field.
Showing great sense of honor, duty, courage and leadership, made you a Oberleutnant.
Furthermore his selfless sacrifice in the Dresden Jumpgate battle, to save Admiral Malte when beeing outnumbered by the double of her own forces,
made High Command to change their decision about the Promotion to Oberleutnant.
Herr Chezberger deserved the rank of a Major.

Leutnant Ralf Hofmann to Oberleutnant:
Ralf Hofmann is a strong willed leader, doing the best he can, to ensure his flightgroups to return home safe.
The rank Oberleutnant is more than fitting, but laziness and not developing your future leadignabilities can get you stuck as this rank.
Keep up your work for both the pilots and yourself.

Feldwebel Maximilian Voss to Oberfeldwebel:
Maximilian Voss has everything a young pilot needs in the field, especialy a fresh Officer. The rank Oberfeldwebel is deserved and fit his abilities in the field.

Hauptgefreiter Thomas Meinhardt to Feldwebel:
Thomans Meinhardt fulfills both psychic and physical criteria for the Officer career in the Rheinland Military.
Your appearance in the field is outstanding and your representation of the Vaterland is commendable

Hauptgefreiter Gunter Weissman to Oberfeldwebel, skipping the rank Feldwebel:
Gunter Weissman deserves this promotion by all means. He works hard for his aims and is always the first to serve. We hppe he will decide for the flag officer career one time, as his skills and attitude enrich the Rheinwehr as a whole.

Hauptgefreiter Duncan Werden to Feldwebel:
Duncan Werden applied for the Rheinland Military Officers school and passed the tests with flying colors.
His outstanding performance in the field, his bravery and his sense for duty,
opened up the Officer career for this Pilot.

Flieger Alec Voelkel to Feldwebel:
Herr V?lkel should be an example for every enlisted pilot. His flawless behaviour, bravery and dedication will lead him on his way to a higher rank. We are glad that he represents Rheinland and the Kanzler in such a impeccable way.



The folowing requests have been filed away, until the next promotions.

Obereutnant Karl Westermann to Major:
Karl Westermann is a strong willed pilot, a brave soldier and a good wingman.
High Command still misses the development of his leading abilities in the field, to fulfill the criteria for the rank Major.
The men and women in the field need to trust you and your decisions, they give their lifes into your hands.
High Command needs to be sure you do not waste those lifes unnessecary in the field.
Develop your leading abilities and show yourself more in the field, to gain the trust of your men and women.
Then the rank of a Major is more than fitting.

Hauptgefreiter Henrik Drum to Feldwebel:
Hauptgefreiter Henrik Drum's behaviour is a shame for his whle unit.
Appearing drunk to his duty and also even be a danger to his wingmen in space, is an unexcuseable behaviour for a Rheinland soldier.

He recieved already his punishment by ten whiplashes in front of the second and third regiment at the muster yard of the New Berlin Rheinwehr Headquarters.
Furthermore will his promotion be suspended for 10 days.


Signed,
Admiral Malexa Malte

Report #35


Guten Tag meine Piloten,

read this report mindfully, as it can be a guide to successfull strikes against our declared arch enemy: the Libertonian warmongerers.

While I was preparing some things for another operation I got a call from Major General Engels. He was scouting the Texas system, because some MND agents reported two LNS vessels heading to Rheinland. Herr Engels called for support on our encrypted communication channel and we ended with an attack force of three: Major General Engels, Feldwebel Alec V?lkel and myself.

Mission was: quick in, destroy the LNS vessels and quick out.

While Herr V?lkel and me were en route to Texas, Herr Engels tried to lure away the two vessels from the battleship stationed in Houston orbit. When we finally arrived in Texas he was already under fire from them.

[Image: 4q4n6a_th.png]

We instantly opened fire to save Herr Engels. The first target was the LNS|PeaceKeeper. It was destroyed very quick, but meanwhile a Libertonian strike force approached our position.

[Image: avoqad_th.png]

Herr V?lkel did a very good job with this well placed shot. Afterwards I ordered concentrated fire on the LNS|-Ionisus. This vessel couldn't stand our fire for a long time.

[Image: 2pycfub_th.png]

After the second vessel was disintegrated, I wanted to take out another Libertonian pilot, but the enemy force has grown too strong. Right in this moment Herr Engels Snubnose was hit by an enemy SNAC projectile. He was taken out.

I ordered an immediate retreat to prevent further losses: and it worked.

Today we did again great damage to the Libertonian war machinery.

Fur den Kanzler!

Vizeadmiral August von Speer

-------------------------------------------------------

Guten Tag Piloten,

This report was made to introduce you two quick and effective "Hit and Run" campaigns which we carried out today. The tactic is consistant of the rapid assembly of a small assault force and a strike on a key enemy target before reinforcements are in the battlefield.

Texas Strike #1

Our first mission was to take out two unknown-class Libertonian capital ships reported to be in orbit around Planet Houston. Since the MND Agents could hardly provide any more information regarding the two vessels, Herr Major General Auztin Engels decided to personally scout ahead in the dangerous gasps of Libertonian territory. Thanks to his bravery and cunning, we eventually found out that the two ships are in fact two Liberty Navy gunboats with minimal fighter escort. Vize Admiral August Von speer and myself took off from the Moselle immediately and set course for the Texas system.

As the two ships were in his sight, the Major General attempted to lure them away from Planet Houston, so that our bombers could hit them in open space and the enemy orbital installments wouldn't give us trouble. He was successful in this task, although he had to take evasive action, since the gunboats, classified as LNS|Peacekeeper and LNS|-Ionious didn't forget to summon their fighter escorts to pursuit the sole bomber of Herr Engels. Needless to say, Herr Von Speer and myself were there double time. Since Herr Engels was under heavy fire, he ordered the Vize Admiral to assume control of the operation, who ordered me to release the antimatter containment cells and give full power to my Supernova cannon. I carried his order out and charged the infamous tool of destruction, it was ready to melt Libertonian scum in a matter of seconds.

The first target was the Peacekeeper. Even though it was damaged by the time I got to the battlefield, the nanobots placed in its engineering section quickly restored its hull integrity to maximum. Despite that, I wouldn't say the Gunboat lasted more than a minute against the might of three SNACs, the final blow was given by my cannon in particular. The Ionisus realised that it would soon share faith with the other gunboat, so it tried to concentrate on evasion rather than trying to cause damage to us, but it failed to escape, needless to say.

While we were fighting the gunboats, more and more Libertonian ships arrived, the escort crew of two quickly grew to five and then eight. We stood no chance against such a tough opposition, and Herr Engels was hit by a SNAC or a Mini Razor shortly after we took the second gunboat out. Even though reserve pilot Axel Ruhenz joined the battle, we stood no chance, Herr Von Speer ordered the withdrawal of our forces. We made our jump back to Bering, then back to our glorious Vaterland at once. The Mission was successful, the targets were neutralized. The loss of the Major General's ship was most unfortunate, but I'm confident that he will be able to fulfill his duties in a matter of days at most.

Texas Strike #2

The first strike obviously had a major impact on the enemy defences and we managed to cause quite a shock to the Libertonian forces orbitting Planet Houston. Since we saw that our previous attack was successful, we waited for the majority of the enemy defence fleet to clear out and we assembled for another attack in a matter of hours. The strike fleet was led by Vize Admiral August Von Speer, Oberleutnant Ralf Hofman was the second in command. Oberfeldwebel Gunter Weissman and I were the wingmen. Our primary objective was the destruction of any bomber class ship we encounter, that's why the majority of the wing was consistant of Wraith class very heavy fighters. I was ordered to provide bomber support for a possible capital ship encounter, even though we didn't expect any due to the strike we carried out earlier.

As we got to Texas, we were ordered to fly a few clicks above the Jump Gate and move to Houston keeping the same distance. Of course, the Libertonian proximity sensors immediately spotted our presence and a furious word battle erupted on system comms. I personally noticed that the Libertonians didn't really have any support by the civilian population around, some civilian frequencies joining the channel indicated that well enough and wished good luck to the Rheinwehr forces, hoping that we'd get rid of their opressors.

Our attack wing was first spotted by a Navy fighter under the control of Andy Doggett. He would have been a quick target to take out, but something.... happened before we could engage him. A Hessian gunboat, designated as ave literally burst into the system, shouting illiterable words on the system comms and immediately attacked the Libertonians. The Vize Admiral ordered us not to interfere, but as soon as the gunship spotted us, he started opening fire at our attack wing aswell. We were ordered to return fire and concentrate our weapons at the Hessian gunboat. As we were about to finish the intruder, the Libertonian reinforcement wing arrived. Since they had about three times as many fighters and bombers as we did, we had no choice but to abort the mission and retreat. Herr Weissman managed to take a fighter down with a mine during the engagement though.

We weren't held up by the Libertonian forces on our way to Bering, but strange things happened afterwards. Our trade lane sequence between Freeport 2 and the Texas jumpgate was interrupted by two revolutionist ships, a Thor-class Hessian bomber piloted by Ariane von PrimaLuna and a Unioner Eagle designated as Ramke. Our wing turned around and we ordered them to disperse at once. As soon as the second warning was given, they engaged their cruise engines and left the area with making patronising remarks at us and the Rheinwehr. We were about to leave when all of a sudden, the Hessian gunboat ave appeared out of nowhere and fired all of its guns at my idle ship. My hull took major damage, one of my wingmen even remarked that he didn't understand how I survived the salvo, as the fight was over. Outraged, Herr Von Speer demanded us to serve him the head of whoever was in command of the ave, so we all opened fire at the annoying gunboat. In a matter of seconds, Ramke and Von Primaluna arrived and joined the fight aswell, assisting the Hessian gunboat. Our concentrated fire relatively quickly dispatched the Heimdall-class ship, avenging the failure of our previous operation. Ramke was our next target. The Unioner ship didn't stand a chance against us, as it joined the fight in an already damaged state. At the end, it tried to do a suicide collision with Herr Weissman, who still had his shields up, therefore the Eagle, which was literally falling apart at that point got cut up like a piece of butter by a sharp knife. The Kusarian tactic was unsuccessful. Only Ariane Von Primaluna was left. The bomber, which was shooting my ship all along (without causing any remarkable damage), quickly switched to evasive tactics as the whole Rheinwehr assault wing was after its butt. As the ship realised it had no chance to evade, it tried targetting my bomber again with shooting not only guns, but missiles and torpedos at my direction aswell. I, however, had a different tactic in my mind. Since I knew the Hessian was after me, I stopped my thruster with leaving only the base engine on, deliberately trying to give the illusion of the easy prey to the Thor bomber. As soon as it turned around and tried coming close, I've put full power to my thruster and shot an Antimatter projectile directly into the hull of the terrorist bomber, which had its shields down already, thanks to my comrades.

Even though the second raid was not as successful as the first one, we managed to inflict heavy losses to both the Libertonians and the Rheinlander traitors with loosing only one ship in whole. The Rheinwehr had a yet again perilous, but glorious day of serivce.

Guten Tag, Mien herren.

Today was an eventful day for das Fatherland.
It all started in Hamburg.
Appears a large hessian fleet is loitering near Alster... Perhaps gearing to attack it.
It consisted of 2 fighters and 2 gunboats. They've appeared to have stopped a Slaver Liberty Transport...
They'd agreed to a temporary armistice, They've wanted my ship to liberate slaves on Hamburg, although I notified them it was not in my job discription to attack the transport.

The transport captain was very stubborn, and in the end, the Hessians destroyed him. Soon after, Our scans detected Rhienland Millitary pilots aboard one of the gunboats... And that was when the fight against the scum began.

There were no losses, a single RM bomber came to assist.


ENEMY LOSSES:
2 Heimdall Gunboats
1 Werewolf Pirate Fighter

Subject: Defence of the Hamburg system [Report #15]


-------------------------------------------------------

Guten Tag Piloten,

I'm quite confident most of you have heard the news if not participated in it, but I was entrusted by Herr Weissman to write a report of the occasion. This night was nothing I've ever seen. I have fought against the Libertonians over numerous occasions, some of them even in Hamburg, but it is definitely not the same when they have a whole battlefleet on our doorsteps.

I was off duty when the situation erupted, walking down the streets of Hamburg to find an open pu... I mean a shop. The streets were dark, there were barely any people to be seen out in the cold evening. Good thing I had my temperature-contolled Military coat still on, so didn't freeze to death. All of a sudden, I heard something I never heard before. The Hamburg Planetary Alarm went off. The Rathaus started broadcasting on all loudspeakers ordering the civilians to get to their homes and the Military personell to get to their positions. I was lucky that an APC came by carrying a squad of Sturmtruppen to the Base and the Feldwebel in charge offered to take me along since "pilots were more important in defence" as he phrased it.

Fortunately, I got to the launch pad just in time, but I still had no idea what was going on. There were soldiers and technicans running all around shouting in the comms and at each other, I was trying to reach a CO, but noone responded until Oberfeldwebel Weissman caught me on the comm channel. He quickly told me that a Libertonian battlegroup was spotted on the edge of the system and we were to intercept. I immediately ordered a deck officer to prepare my Snubnose for launch and I got out to the planet's orbit in a minute.

I'm afraid that I have to say the whole situation was anarchic at the beginning. Fighters, cruisers, battleships and even civilian vessels were flying in random directions all around Hamburg, some of them almost even collide with each other. The Libertonians have jammed our communications, we couldn't reach any officers or commanders, so we were left in space with a huge reserve division to control for Oberfeldwebel Weissman, who was in charge.

However, the surprise didn't last long. The Oberfelwebel ordered all ships to proceed to Westfalen in order to be prepared to counter the enemy threat while he tried to negotiate with the Libertonians. He asked them to leave, but the enemy vessels didn't show the slightest intention to do so. They were claiming to retaliate their lost comrades in the raid we pulled off earlier, but they should have learned a lesson from their losses and stayed away.

The negotiations didn't go well, the Libertonians kept pulling in more vessels instead of leaving our Vaterland, so Herr Weissman ordered us to take the trade lane to the Hudson gate, since the enemy ships started gathering a few clicks away from that particular position. My worried and uncomfortable mood quickly switched to rage as I spotted the three Battlecruisers and two Siege cruisers infesting our Vaterland. The capital ships were escorted by one-two gunboats and a remarkably low fighter escort, which consisted merely of two ships (probably two defenders, but I couldn't analise them during the engagement). Some of the Libertonian ships started to flee as soon as they spotted our incoming defence fleet, a gunboat designated as LNS Orlando was the only one I could register.

I have to admit, we were all a bit trigger happy and it almost ended up bad. Most of our ships (mainly the reserve pilots) were looking to grind them up and I was to destroy them before they get more reinforcements aswell. The captain of the RNC Oderschvank kept shouting "Attack! Attack!" on the comms channel, which almost ended up with the loss of the ship. Herr Weissman gave us the go code, but everyone was making a slow approach while the Oderschvank charged onto the enemy with cruise engines. Herr Weissman ordered the captain of the cruiser to cut the cruise engines, but it was too late. The ship was immediately fired upon by the enemy capital ships and was very heavily damaged. Thanks to the skill of the other pilots, the bomber squad quickly caught up and unleashed the real firestorm at the enemy vessels. The reserve pilots were a bit hard to be ordered to focus, so they mainly served as diversion while our bomber squad consistant of Herr Weissman, me and Herr Hauptgefreiter Drum kept the enemy vessels under continued Antimatter bombardment. The RNC Nagold and the battleship RNC Stormholm also caused heavy damage to the enemy vessels with their mortar fire, aiding the bomber squad in their work. Fortunately enough, the enemy vessels didn't seem to focus fire at all, they were shooting randomly at our ships, therefore failing to cause any sufficient damage after our bombers hit them.

The strike craft's first target was the LNS Columbia. For some reason, the RNC Oderschvank started shooting at the Battlecruiser designated as SLICE. Despite that, we managed to cause heavy damage to the Columbia's hull while using the disarray and surprise we caused, the RNC Stormholm got close and finished the job with Mortar fire. The bomber squad was ordered afterwards to focus on the SLICE, while the capital ships split fire on the other enemy capitals. Two siege cruisers, the Paulsurfer and the LNS Denver were destroyed successfully before we finished the SLICE up. The Vallu, another siege cruiser and the Furious Absolution, a LABC were the last ones to be taken down before the Libertonians started to retreat. I told the men not to pursue them so that they can tell back at home how they failed at their task, but Herr Drum and some reserve pilots pursued the Piipu and destroyed it before it got out of the system. The other ship, the Konah was shot down by our ships aswell.

The whole battle lasted for no more than a few minutes. The Military was completely victorious against the invaders. The LNS Orlando, a gunboat was the only one to get away, but it stayed in the system to taunt us afterward. We were to ignore him and returned to our stations to go off duty. There was a smaller celebration following the event, we drank on Herr Weissman for being a successful leader and the rest for being wunderbar pilots. Special thanks goes to the members of the reserve fleet, it would have been harder without them.

BATTLE REPORT

I received orders by Chancellor Rheinhardt to attempt the assassination of Admiral Hale while he performed his weekly inspection of Sugarland Prison in Texas. With the assistance of [RM]Fw.Goodrich.Osborne and [RM-MND]Christian.Stein, we attempted to carry out the Chancellor's orders.

Unfortunately, the Admiral carried more then his usual retinue of support craft. After a brief skirmish close to the prison, we were forced to retreat back to Hudson.

I'd like to recognize Osborne and Stein's unparalleled bravery and courage in battle. I'm honored to serve with such men.

-------------------------------------------------------

Guten Tag Piloten,

Today, we joined sides with the Bretonia Armed Forces to purge the Omega border systems of Corsair presence. The Omega Pirates Guild and their supporters have put a tough fight up, but we managed to hold our ground, while both inflicting and suffering large amounts of damage in the prolonged firefight. The reinforcements kept pushing in from both sides, so the fight never seemed to be even close to the end.

I started my patrol with taking off from Planet Hamburg. Admiral Engels called into the barracks that Corsair marauders were looting Republican ships in the Omega-7 system, so we were told to the intercept at once. Me and Gefreiter R?sdorf responded first, the meeting point was first placed to Bonn, but we were to reposition to Omega-7 before we could meet each other.

We were too late to catch the Corsair ships red handed. We searched throughout Omega-7, but all signs indicated that the pirate vessels have relocated to Omega-3, to Bretonian territory. Of course, we couldn't allow them to escape unpunished for the destruction of Rheinland property and the potential to do even further damage, so we contacted the Bretonian Armed Forces for permission to pursue the enemy ships. Lieutenant Commander McDonald responded us and gave permission to pursue the enemy forces into Bretonian space, so we immediately jumped to Omega-3 to prosecute the pirates.

The search didn't last long. As soon as we made our jump, we spotted two Titan-class vessels belonging to the Omega Pirates Guild waiting for a catch right near the gate. Scourge Grimly and Marauder CURIOS were surprised to see the Military pursuing them into Bretonia and they didn't seem to listen to us instructing them to return to wherever they belong or face the punishment. In fact, they started calling in backup, the system-wide communication channels indicated that well enough. The responding vessel's identification seemed to match that of Scourge Karolis, another OPG member, who as it later turned out, wasn't the only one in the area.

Admiral Engels ordered us to open fire before the Corsair reinforcements were to hit the area. My guns were already charged, we started to rain fire on the enemy targets. Unfortunately, we couldn't catch them before the first wave of enemy reinforcements, Karolis and Scourge Mate Krushak entered the area to assist the other two OPG pirates. We were first to target the pirates not yet warmed up, we started to get on Krushak's tail, but we didn't manage to cause any remarkable damage despite bringing his shields down a bit. The enemy, however opened fire on Gefreiter R?sdorf, who unfortunately couldn't evade the concentrated enemy fire and had to eject his ship before being destroyed.

Two of us were left again, and the enemy vessels started to focus fire on me. I managed to evade until the reinforcements, reserve pilot Fridrich Heinz and the HMS Cornwall, an Armed Forces gunboat arrived to aid us. More reinforcements, Vize Admiral Chezberger and Vize Admiral Krupinski were on the way, but they arrived too late to save his Majesty's gunboat. Reserve pilot Heinz tractored the escape pods of the Bretonian crew, but I'm afraid some of them could have fallen victim to the explosion or tractored in by the Omega Pirates.

More reinforcements kept flowing in from both sides and the battle was getting really serious and large scale. Feldwebel Duncan Werden and a reserve pilot, Ritter Von Habsburg arrived with the RNC Stormholm, a reserve Battleship in their company after neutralizing a Hessian gunboat of some sort in Omega-7. At the same time, Marauder Vega and an independent Corsair gunboat, the Imperium arrived. The latter was quickly destroyed, as we already had a sufficient amount of bombers on the battlefield.

The third wave of Omega Pirate reinforcements was cut with the assistance of BAF forces, that arrived only so late, because they were occupied on the Leeds front by yet another Corsair assault crew. As it later turned out, our operation succeeded in disrupting a major attack planned against the House of Bretonia. The Sarissa, an OPG gunboat was relatively quickly brought down, Admiral Redmond from the BAF managed to score the final hits.

In the following few ten minutes, we lost Hans Kruger (a reserve gunboat with incredibely lacking combat skills and the total failure to follow orders) and reserve pilot Friedrich Heinz (we managed to acquire his escape pod) while heavily damaging CURIOS, one of the enemy titans, forcing him to retreat. We noticed that the enemy ships were concentrating fire on the RNC Stormholm, even though our Battleship didn't open fire because of the danger that he'd hit our Military pilots. A few minutes afterwards, we noticed why they were doing so. The enemy vessels were trying to cripple our battleship while their Legate, the Iron Maiden got into firing range. The Stormholm and the RM-BAF bomber squadron managed to bring the monstrosity down with relative ease, the Stormholm hardly even suffered damage, since the enemy Dred was targetting the bombers. Unfortunately, Feldwebel Werden was caught in the blast, but we managed to recover his escape pod.

Another enemy gunboat, an Imperator belonging to Rin Tosaka, an OPG Marauder arrived on the scene and was brought down just as quickly. I even managed to salvage about ten nanobots from the ship's wreckage, which didn't last long since another handful of enemy fighters got onto my tail again. The crippled OPG ships called in a repair ship, the Ivan into the field to resupply the pirates, it was some sort of upgraded one, as the ship's engines were too fast even to be caught by a fighter class vessel.

While our forces were attempting to take the Ivan out, I somehow got drifted away from the battle and found myself in a one-on-one dogfight with Marauder Diego del Torro. I believe I had the upper hand as I managed to bring the enemy vessel's shields down and damage his hull, which led him to give himself a shot of shield batteries to restore his defence mechanisms. Either because the ship noticed I outmached him or because he was called by his superiors, the Titan went back to the main battle with me on his tail.

The battle didn't last long afterwards. Vessels fled, disengaged or were malfunctioning, eventually no more than 5-6 ships were left on the battlefield, shooting at each other. Admiral Engels had a major engine malfunction, so he had to return to base while he could, so Vize Admiral Chezberger ordered us to pull out, since we managed to cause enough damage to the Omega Pirates as it is and one thing certain drove them out of Omega-3. The Bretonian authorities were thankful for our help and in turn. I flew back to Karlsruhe with Herr Chezberger and fell to a barracks room in my exhaustion. It was the 30th already when I arrived, it was a great battle indeed.

-------------------------------------------------------

Guten Tag Piloten,

The day's patrols began like any other, I took off from Planet Hamburg and since the trader traffic was remarkably low, I decided to patrol Rheinland space. I patrolled New Berlin, but didn't spot anything remarkable until I reached the Frankfurt gate with the intention to continue the patrol in Frankfurt.

As soon as I reached the gate, my sensors detected a smaller energy anomaly from within the system, although the signal was faint, I was quite sure it was indicating a ship blowing up. A few seconds afterwards, another followed, so I decided to check it out. I turned around to patrol the system again with all jump gates included, a reserve pilot, Fridrich Heinz joined me on my route.

Our target, a Hessian bomber piloted by Frank Mueller was spotted near the Dresden gate. Debris were drifting around the area, my quick scans indicated that at least one of the vessels destroyed was a Rheinwehr Wraith class. The pilot admitted destroying a Military ship and he was intending to do the same to me, with weapons powered up, he started shooting at me, while reserve pilot Heinz continued his patrol to Dresden.

The Hessian was obviously some kind of officer or ace. He was already damaged by the ships he destroyed earlier and I quickly drained his remaining nanobots and shield batteries, but then the situation was getting dire. He managed to both shoot and evade well, his combat performence was remarkable. Fortunately enough, none of his SNAC projectiles hit me, that was because of my evasion skills rather than his disablity to aim.

The fight lasted for about 30-40 minutes and we both grew tired, not to mention a slight ion storm that erupted in the meantime. I managed to burn his ship up, while he shot one of my Hornvipers off, making him even a tougher one to damage. Right before my final shot, the terrorist rammed the RNC Leverkusen, a reserve gunboat standing idly to watch the fight and the Thor was perished in the crash. In the meantime, reserve pilot Heinz destroyed some Outcast, I didn't pay attention to the details.

Unfortunately enough, I couldn't return to the barracks to have some rest. Just as I landed, Heinz called me again informing me that he spotted seven rebel ships at the Bonn-Stuttgart trade lane. They were probably trying to avenge their lost ace. I took my bomber, in hopes of catching some bigger-class Hessian ships, but the contrary was in effect when we got there. Hessian and Unioner bombers and fighters were pirating the lane traffic, they were negotiating with some mercenaries just as I got there. Reserve Pilot Fridrich Heinz and the RNC Leverkusen could summon a Bounty Hunter gunboat, the Luis von Graal to our aid, but we were still outnumbered by the hostiles.

The traitors blew the mercenaries apart and came into range as soon as that. I attempted to commence negotiations with them, but the Luis von Graal opened fire at the hostiles without my autherisations. I was forced to order everyone else to open fire too to save the heavy support. Against five bombers in the enemy ranks, I was sure to see the gunboats go down first, but after loosing the RNC Leverkusen, we stood our ground. The two enemy fighters, an Arbeiter and an Odin caught my tail, they hardened my ability to aim properly.

The first enemy to go down was Abweichung, a Thor-class bomber that was hit by the Hunter gunboat. Quickly enough, Vladimir Lenin followed, since his shields were down, I used the occasion to introduce him the taste of a good old Braunschweig-style SNAC. I ordered the men to concentrate their fire on Jahr Gulden, he was quickly crippled and as he realised that, he attempted to flee by jettisoning mines to evade pursuit, I launched a cruise disruptor to make him regret his decision, so his ship was blown to pieced by his own mine. The next target I issued was Markus Vogel, we managed to heavily damage him, but the fighters that were on me switched targets to reserve pilot Heinz and since I was trying to SNAC Hoenir, Vogel used the opportunity to escape. Only one bomber and two fighters were left, I ordered to focus on Hoenir, the last Thor, one which was heavily damaged and destroyed by me and the Hunter gunboat. In the meantime, the two fighters took reserve pilot Heinz down (although one of them fled in the meantime), so only Leo Troczky was left. The miner quickly realised that he couldn't anymore count on his comrades and after a few shots fired, he decided to retreat into the asteroid field, so he did with success.

The Rheinwehr was yet again utterly victorious against superior numbers with minimal losses. After the assignment, I returned to Strausberg to repair the minimal damage I took and file this report. My bomber should be ready for service already.

Mein Report Herrs...

It did not go well, first we did a nice enough patrol around the Dresden system, before entering Omega 15.

There we were ambushed by 2 Cruisers, a gunboat and a Thor type bomber. While I engaged the bomber, I roundly insulted the Hessians for being so badly hung that they had to hide behind cruiser armor to face us.

Sadly, another gunboat showed up, and they decided to fire everything they had at me for the insults, so I didn't last too much longer.

Ah well, at least I got a few good shots in.

Report end.

Signed
