- OPERATIONAL REPORT -
Rekrut Karl Donitz and I were assigned to patrol Hamburg, to keep an eye on the multiple reports of hostiles in the area. To our surprise, today seemed a silent day, so we decided to be on our toes, in case trouble happens.
After patroling the system and the well known Bering and Hudson jumpholes, we returned to New Berlin, to fuel up and get ready for the next mission. Once jumped in New Berlin System, we recieved a message through Long Range communications, stating that the well known company Kruger is offering Silver Ores for free to the friends of the Fatherland. We knew this would bring trouble, so we reported to the nearest station to get fueled up. Once in space again, we headed for Oder Shipyard, where we were informed are going to find the Kruger ships.
After reporting, we took off on a patrol inside the New Berlin system, to keep an eye on things, as we knew this would bring heat. On the way, near the Frankfurt Jumphole, Karl's right engine started showing problems, so we aborted our current mission and headed to Planet New Berlin.
To everybody's surprise, there was a Liberty Gunboat, which showed a LPI IFF, which, on a further scan, showed Liberty weapon systems. After being told to leave the systems under my escort, he complied and we traveled to Bering Jumphole, where he left Rheinland systems, and did not jump back.
After he left, I came back to New Berlin, only to find a Red Hessian light fighter engaging a Rheinland Officer. I went weapons on, and engaged the Hessian. After a quick 10 minutes of dogfights, the Hessian fighter hit a mine, dropped by the Rheinland Officer, and blew up into dust. I tried looking for a life pod, however I wasn't able to find one. Going back to New Berlin, two Hessian Cruisers were trying to engage the Kruger Barge, so me and the Rheinland Officer tried to delay them as much as we could, so the Barge could quickly get to cover.
I have added two guncam's of the Rheinland Cruisers, as well as their equipment, as much as I was able to scan.
