Hallo
I'm reporting about my patrol. At the beginning it was supposed to be a simple Frankfurt-Hamburg patrol.
It was silent until I have met a trader near Hamburg Jump gate who was carrying tons of engine components.
He told me that he's going to New Tokyo. I wanted to make sure that he's not delivering them to the liberty so
I told him to go to Kusari other way. I escorted him to the Sigma-13 jump gate. I have then docked on Fulda Border Station to make a report about my patrol.

Guten Tag.
Here is my today's patrol report.
This is the whole route of it:
The whole route was very silent and even pleasant. At first I've met a Kruger Colossus which wasn't carrying any cargo:
Then at the Essen I encountered 3 ships:
1. Edison_Jonsson , Daumann Heavy Construction advanced train carrying uncut diamonds , nothing suspicious.
2. Bro-BrownMan , a Bounty Hunter gunboat class ship. Probably the escort of the Edison_Jonsson. Nothing suspicious at all.
3. RepEx-Shipping|161 , Republican Shipping "Behemoth" transport. No cargo , so nothing to suspect.
Then the last person I've met on my route was RFP|SEK-Wraith.43 Military pilot. At the end of the patrol route I was stationing in the Planet New Berlin area for some time. Then I've docked to "The Ring" station.
These are the other camera shots taken during patrol:

Kameraden, sehr geehrtes Oberkommando,
Today was a glorious day for the Rheinwehr and the Vaterland. We managed to destroy an Osiris class battleship, a gunboat and a Mafic, all flying under the flag of the pirate scum that calls themselves the corsairs.
At first Herr Major Harkonnen rallied available piloten to deal with a single gunboat roaming in the Omega-7 system. The threat was quickly taken care off by our two Bergelmir light bombers, one flown by Herrn Feldwebel Kaufmann the other by me. The Herr Feldwebel took the final shot, which punched right through the hull of the vessel and separated it in two parts.

Our forces gathered at the Schlachtschiff Karlsruhe in Stuttgart after the battle to restock and conduct repairs. The Major left at this point, leaving Hauptmann Landers in charge, with orders to conduct a patrol in the Vaterland. However, we received word that more corsairs were spotted in Omega-7. Maybe they wanted revenge for their Kameraden on board of the gunboat or maybe they just thought they could walk all over us, in the end they got to know why the Rheinwehr is called the Kanzlers Hammer.
Back in Omega-7 we encountered them near Freistadt, it was a group consisting of the aforementioned Osiris class vessel and an escort. The escort fled, leaving the Osiris as easy prey for the Forseti, which arrived just in time. Worth mentioning is that the Forseti was able to tractor a set of battleship turrets from the destroyed Osiris, they seem to have been in the cargohold of the vessel and survived the final explosion.

After this success we wanted to move back, but Fähnrich Schmitt discovered a Mafic flown by a corsair at the jump gate to Stuttgart. It was taken out quickly and all our forces moved back into the Vaterland safely, no losses during the engagements.

SUBJECT: Review of Flieger Heinz Hardt / Patrol Report
To: High Command,
Today is an interesting day, coming onto active duty today I encounter Flieger Heinz Hardt within the Bering Hudson zone. Questioning him I called him back and we formed up for a patrol. Several polizie Units passed us and investigated and helped escort a trader carrying plutonium to Liberty back to planet Hamburg and unload.
Once free of the task we moved to toward the Frankfurt system encountering a single trader that refused to halt upon orders and we proceeded to chase the trader through Rheinland into Sigma 13. After more hauls for him to stop we disrupted him and he proceeded to attack Flieger Hardt. Ordering his termination we dogged the transport all the way to station Helgoland where its destruction was completed, the scrap joining the rest littering the system.
We captured what Neon we could and destroyed the rest, we had no idea why he refused to respond but his cargo was captured and the remainder destroyed for running from Rheinland Forces.
Entering Frankfurt the RFP sent a distress call about a Red Hessian Army vessel and a single Unioner ship. Responding we arrived in system to find both sides engaged, after assessing the situation our forces joined into the fray, Flieger Hardt was attacked by both the Hessian and Unioner. Even through my best efforts the Flieger was forced to eject.
Even without backup I continued on in the fight, finaly taking down the Hessian vessel and turning my attention to the Unioner. I was soon forced to eject though as another Unioner appeared ending the fight for me.

Review of Flieger Hardt,
After coming across Flieger Hardt and rejoining with him I began to watch him as we patrolled and fought. He is very studious and yields to more senior leadership. I feel his dog fighting skills though seem lacking a bit. He fights hard but his skills can be honed a bit. Overall I would consider him studious and a apt learner as he adjusted well during the fight and fought hard.
