Meine Damen und Herren,

Today i was on my morning patrol after some weeks and i was suprised that im seeing a outcast tridente gunship at front of my eyes. It wasnt ussual for me to meet an outcast ship in our systems. But there he was so i needed to make sure that he dissapears. He was terrorising the poor traders who are working hard to get their cargo from the omegas systems. He wasnt talkable for sure, becouse he was using the worse trick ever= engage without a notice. I had to act quickly, i had no other choice then fight alone agains a gunship. I was taking heavy damage from his cannons and also from his missiles, what were causing big damage to my hull. After some while i have managed to cause him heavy damage and at the end to destroy the gunship with my supernova antimatter cannon.
After the destruction the trade route was safe again and the traffic could continue with their work.

End of my report

Admiral Malte entered the canteen with a note in her hand. She walked over to the blackboard and pinned something on it.

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to extend my gratitude to the superiors of one [RM]FL.Carla.Riess, who aided me in my travels today. I was en route to Planet Nuremberg from Bretonian space, and was alerted by a significant pirate presence in the Stuttgart system.

On the return leg of my trip, carrying essential Military Vehicles to the Bretonians, I contacted this fine officer of the Rheinland Military for an update. She had only just come on duty, and took it upon herself to investigate the system. She proceeded to investigate, and even after that waited to escort me through the system, just in case. She escorted me into Omega-7, then took the tradelane to Freistadt Station.

En route we were ambushed by a squad of four Red Hessians. With very little help from myself (Transport Turrets lack significantly in anti-fighter defense value), she took all of them out (See photo in the attachment).

She escorted me as far as the jumpgate to Omega-3. I am very grateful for her help.

Thank you,
Treece Galena,
Freelance Trader and Miner

Admiral Malte turned around and shouted into the room:
" READ THIS MEINE HERREN! THAT RECRUIT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE!"

She left the canteen as fast as she entered the place.

Sehr geehrte Piloten und Kommandanten,

Today was the date of a great victory, we were successful at beating off a middle-sized Libertonian battlefleet, which somehow made its way to Frankfurt. The sky was again littered by the leftovers of our enemies who learned to value and fear the Rheinland people fighting to protect the glorious Vaterland.

Everything was seemingly quiet all day before the events took place. I was escorting ore miners from Stuttgart to Munich, we didn't run across any disturbance. Hauptfeldwebel Weissman and Feldwebel Kreuzchen were performing combat simulations in Braunschweig in the meantime. Then all of a sudden, we all recieved an emergency transmission coming from Planet Holstein, indicating a Liberty Siege cruiser and its several escort fighters emerging from the Westerwald nebula.

Of course, I immediately ended the training session and ordered the pilots to form into a recon group. Since my comms to the Rheinwehr barracks was down, Feldwebel Kreuzchen called for backup while I went ahead to scout the area. Holstein in the meantime lost the ships from sensors. The assembly point should have been at the planet, but I spotted the Liberty battlegroup as I was heading there. I broke the lane sequence as I spotted the hostiles moving torwards the New Berlin jumpgate and attempted to stop them from getting close a civilian installation where they could cause damage.

The battlegroup was led by Siege cruiser indeed, designated as LNS Alluring Endeavour and employed five fighters as its escort, two of them being from the Liberty Navy Main Fleet, rest reserve. As soon as I spotted them, I didn't hesitate to inform them that they were all going to die, even when I was alone. The captain of the Alluring Endeavour of course, didn't seem to take me seriously enough, seeing that I was alone at that point, with Weissman and Kreuzchen closing into range. I was generous enough to inform them that not taking my words seriously and not running for it while they still had the chance was a rather foolish thing to do, which was justified as the rest of my wing arrived.

I was still trying to learn how the battlegroup got through the frontlines all undetected-like, but the Navy captain sent his fighters out to attempt my termination without replying to my question. All that, of course was rather useless as Weissman, Kreuzchen and soon Hauptfeldwebel Weddigen arrived to even the odds a little, upon giving the orders to fire, we started picking their vessels down like flies. The cruiser of course, went in to attack aswell, seeing that I was not that alone afterall. Our first targets were the Executioners, then we went on the destroy the Guardians. Noone was a particular match for the Rheinwehr training, only a Guardian piloted by Joseph Collins, last of the hostile fighter wing lasted for more than two minutes. Feldwebel Kreuzchen's ship was also destroyed by one of his own mines, which I repeatedly ordered the pilots not to use when there was less enemies than us on the battlefield, but to no avail.

As Collins' ship was history, the Alluring Endeavour's captain ordered his cruiser to flee. We also replaced the lost Feldwebel Kreuzchen with Gefreiter Shetland and I ordered the pilots to chase down and destroy the enemy cruiser. He sent his men to slaughter and then fled like a dog, describes a Libertonian commander adequately. The Endeavour was shot full of holes as it fled torwards the Westerwald nebula, we later learned he did so in order to use a gravitational anomaly to escape into Hamburg. His ship was so heavily damaged that the cruiser couldn't bear the effects of the jump, and it was crashed to pieces upon attempt.

The enemy forces were crushed like insects under the might of the Rheinwehr. Excellent performance of all Military pilots that showed up on the field. Frankfurt is secure, the Libertonians that could have survived learned a life-long lesson.

Long live the Kanzler!

Patrol Began at roughly 2:30AM New Berlin Standard time. I intercepted many communications from my Military brethren, so I lifted off from the barracks and joined up with my comrades. I was in New Berlin orbit around about 2:34AM. I then headed to rendezvous with the rest of the Military Forces. On my way through the New Berlin > Brandenburg station Tradelane, I noticed a hostile contact pop up on my scanner display, I notified Frau Admiral, and then continued to link up with my unit. Once at the point I assume we were meeting, Frau admiral gave Green 1 wing its orders. and sent them off. I was in Green 2 wing, with Frau Admiral and some other Militia forces. We headed to intercept the hostile vessel I had spotted earlier. Once we were within communication range of the vessel, the Admiral opened up communications and tried to ask the contact to surrender and go peacefully. However there was no such luck, and within several minutes me and Herr 'Parker' (A militia unit) engaged the target. Unfortunately Herr Parker was shot down several seconds before I shot down the Hostile target. I picked up his escape pod, and promptly returned it to New Berlin.

Afterwards, we received more troops, and we were split into three wings, Green one, Green Two and Green three. I was once again a troop of Green 2. Also in our wing was Herr Parker, Having made a lucky escape and receiving a new Wraith, and call sign 'Heart.of.Darkness'. We headed to Omega 7 for a routine patrol. The trip to Omega 7 took us approximately 7 minutes. Once at our destination we proceeded to cruise through the area, getting lost numerous times, and even ending up in the middle of a Gas pocket. We received a distress call from a Kruger vessel shortly after entering clear space, so we headed to investigate. We found two Kruger vessels, and no hostile contacts at the designated position, we escorted the vessels to the Stuttgart jumpgate, and then headed to the other side of the cloud. We then received word multiple Liberty Navy ships were spotted on our border in Bering. I was dispatched to aid our forces already in the fight if need be. After about 10 minutes of waiting and hoping, I was finally called into battle. The fight, was.. Well it was hectic, and unorganised, when I arrived I found a heaving lump of hostile and friendly ships, locked in close dogfights. several of our ships had already been shot down, including the Kapitan in charge of the Operation. I headed into the battle, and tried to cut a few numbers off the enemy's total, however, shortly after I entered another one of our ships was downed. After roughly ten minutes of intense dog fighting, it was down to three units. Seeing we were outnumbered 4 to one, I ordered our reatreat. I know it was a very shameful and desertist action, but we are better off serving the Kanzler alive then dead, yes? Once within Rheinland space, I quickly landed my ship and recieved emergency repairs.

Mein Report Herrs...

Launched my ship and started a patrol of the New Berlin system. Immediately spotted a couple of junkers with funny names, and scanned them. They had some sort of secret documents in their hold, and I took a quick scan of them:

http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/Se...er/screen20.jpg

I left them as the Bowex vessel HMS-Bounty filed a distress call, regarding a Unioner and a Hessian pirating in Stuttgart. I took the tradelane and arrived as the two attempted to pirate a Republican vessel by the callsign Christian.Heller. I ordered him to run and intercepted the pirates so that the vessel could get away, comms logs:

[RM]Ge.Sophi.Keiste: What have we here?
AU-Matthias_Zevonen: Republican will get you in trouble *smiles*
The_Crow: look here we got some company
Christian.Heller: We will see
[RM]Ge.Sophi.Keiste: Leave now
[RM]Ge.Sophi.Keiste: Or die
AU-Matthias_Zevonen: ja ja
[RM]Ge.Sophi.Keiste: Run
AU-Matthias_Zevonen: Frau Sophia
[RM]Ge.Sophi.Keiste: Herr Zevonen
Christian.Heller: Thanky you Ma'am, just in time
[RM]Ge.Sophi.Keiste: You are welcome
Christian.Heller: Auf wiedersehen und viel Glueck

I proceeded to engage the Unioner bomber and the Hessian Gunboat, knowing I didn't have much of a chance against them, but at least allowing the Republican trader to get away. Shortly though, my saviour arrived in the form of Hf.Gunter.Weissman. He arrived in his Snubnose and together we took down the Unioner bomber, at which point the Hessian gunboat began to flee. Coward was fine with ganging up against little young me, but when faced with a fair battle he ran.

We left him to run, and I proceeded to dock, as I had a fuel leak and I lost my Cruise Disruptor in the battle.

Report end.

Meine Damen und Herren,

As frau gefreiter Keise already told i assisted her in the stuttgart system while she was dealing alone with an unioner bomber and a hessian gunship.
Here i have some guncam shots for the report of this situation:




In the evening hours i was doing my patrol in the neu berlin system. There came a ship and asked me whether i am a honourable man. It was quiet interesting why is he asking me something like that. Later it came out that he is a Mandalorian Mercenaries. and he wants to see me dead. Then he engaged me right near the bonn station. But he learned a hard lesson not to match with a rheinland military officer. His ship was destroyed in many pieces by my mine.

End of my report.

//Posted here with permission o' one Malexa. I hear she's "up there" in the RM.

*The Irregefurht set down on the surface of New Berlin with something akin to the antithesis of grace. The Ragnar's frame, being foreign to the concept of pristine from the getgo, was now a mess of carbon scores, laser burns and splashes of whatever the hell happened when a pilot furiously mashed the repair button.

Her touchdown elicited a something between a creak and a moan, neither of which was a sound often heard from a spacecraft landing within the environ's of the Rheinland Military's primary parade deck on New Berlin. Nor was such a dodgy craft.

But she had a cargo to merit it.

Herman monitored the disembarking of his charges from the command chair of the Ragnar. The successful exchange for 115 prisoners of war for, of all things, simple repair modules to a blood crazed battleship commander was beyond belief. But, well, gift horse and mouths ja?

He had orders to keep on his ass and await further orders while the personell he offloaded were screened and debriefed. Gods help him if any of them turned out to be a mole, his flight status was patchy enough in Rheinland without hand delivering a spy on the reco.... ****.

His vessel went dark, the windows blacked with sudden polarization. We was under port lockdown. With a mutter he kicked his feet up on the dash and slouched in his chair.

Whatever happened, happened.

A monitor flickered to life as his vessel's blackbox was accessed and began to dump its contents to the Military database. Hopefully it would be a sufficient prize to warrant a slap of paint on his ship before he was sent back into the saltpits.

But, hey, everyone deserves a break sometimes.
