Herr Schwarzkopf and myself carried on the evenings patrols following Fregattenkapitaen Kriegers end of shift. We were in the action of accomplishing a number of missions when we received general system transmissions from a Kusari pirate, later to be identified as Faysom.Anom of the Nova-PG. He was piloting a blood dragon bomber and was in the act of holding up a trader in the debris field between New Berlin and Brandenburg. As we moved to intercept we caught site of a lone Outcast, by the name of Gneisenau piloting a saber.

As we discussed our plan, Schwarzkopfs vessel suffered a critical malfunction and he was forced to land and power down. Now flying solo, I threw caution to the wind and raced to where I presumed the pirates to be located, now in the process of assaulting Repex-868.

I arrived on scene to find the the two pirates and the Repex train exchanging fire in New Berlin orbit, in order to disrupt the battle before the trade ship could be destroyed I fired several times upon the dragon bomber followed by demands that it leave the system. The bomber sustained heavy damage and began to flee, at which time I turned my attention to the Outcast, who also broke and fled.

As I was still in the process of setting up my vessel, and saying my good prayers that I had not been fully engaged at the time given my lack of proper equipment I proceeded to set myself up properly in anticipation of the next encounter.

Shortly after Bundschuh-Dobermann and [BU]K.Konstantin entered New Berlin local and proceeded to pirate a trade vessel. I challenged their presence, demanding they remove themselves or be engaged. Both were flying Sabers. At this time, however, [RHA] Johann_Hartmann additionally announced his presence, further complicating issues.

Opting to settle each issue as they came and rather than pick fights I could not hope to entertain I charged the BU vessels and demanded their immediate departure to which they agreed, much to my surprise. I then moved to track down the Hessian who proceeded to engage me by Dortmond in a heavy Hessian fighter.

I seemed to be more than a match for him however and he sought to escape At which time a rather unfortunate systems failure caused my Wrath to temporarily lose power, at which time the damaged Hessian made his escape.

The final item of note was a second encounter with Bundschuh Dobermann, now with several Rheinland officers in his hold. I demanded that he release them and be allowed to attempt an escape with his life or suffer destruction. He opted for the former.

In closing, it was an eventful first day.

Our intelligence agents reported a Corsair ship approaching Rheinland territory from Bering. I led the flight group complemented by Herr Krupinski and Herr Schwarzkopf. We met the ship designated Ittoh, a Corsair Gunboat, by the Bering JG in Hamburg. It was disposed off quickly.

An IMG battlecruiser, designated Zuben, invaded Rheinland space and was ordered out. The ship managed to dock at the Ring despite not being cleared by us and our firm instructions that for it to leave. The ship ignored multiple orders to stand down and leave and disrespected our authority. Me, Herr Krupinski and Herr Kress turned its captain's foolishness into debris.

From: Captain Hale of the Gyrfalcon and Aerie, Registered Bounty hunter guild ships, and respective ship's crews.

RE: Permission to operate in Rheinland space, and areas surrounding.

Greetings,

On numerous occasions i find myself and my crew performing escort duties through and near your space. Of special note I find us operating in the Sigma 13 system more and more often, hunting an increasing number of pirate marks. I would also like to once and for all clear up the constant storm of controversy surrounding my cruiser class vessel, if such can be done that is.

Would there be a time and place where I could conduct a discussion with one of your officers? I'm enclosing the registration numbers and class of my primary hunting vessels.


"Gyrfalcon" Bretonian corvette class vessel, Anti-fighter/Gunship mixed application armament.
Registration number: Br-CORV-50966783-121

"Aerie" Rheinland cruiser class vessel, Anti-capital armament.
Registration number: Rh-CRUI-32156-D-.00989

Currently my Personal fighter is down for maintenance and upgrades. i wish to acquire some form of more -BLATANTLY- official documentation for the Aerie, its crew and I are constantly harassed by forces believing that they know more about it's acquisition than I, its damn captain does.

Some captains claim that I am some kind of "whore" for captaining such vessels regularly, but my usual prey has more often been gunboats, cruisers, and destroyers (even a few battleship class targets), than fighters or bombers. These type of vessels are my favored prey, and what I would most like to hunt in your space, if allowed.

I also believe a good friend of mine can vouch for my good intentions, capabilities, and character, I refer to Captain Victor Remond. I hope he doesn't mind my mentioning his name in this missive, but I have been somewhat out of the loop for the past few days,and have been unable to contact neither him nor my usual employers.


Respectfully yours,

Captain, Patrick "Cowboy" Hale.

Command,

Today while on duty outside planet New Berlin I was attacked by [BU]K.Konstantine in a sabre VHF and another BU name lost. We tangled for a few mins untill a RM battlesgroup showed up and spoiled thier fun. The two fled (while not engaging cruise ) and I chose not to follow. I rusumed my post when only moements laterI heard over system comms Konstantine pirating traders, I proced to engage him a second time this one lasting for much longer, before the same thing happened. Again I rusumed my position and this time Konstantine attemped to pirate a transport docking on the ring this was too much and I let loose with the full power of my fighter, stripping his sheilds and forcing him to make a quickdock into the tradelane and fled. He made one more apperance, and I finaly sent him on his way into sigma 13.
Aside from that, a fairly univentful patrol.

Furthermore i have to report VERY strange chatter from this vessels.
Questioning RFP's authority and even RM authority.
Claiming to be 'the Chancellor's arm' and calling the Rheinland Military a 'regime'

Sir

No mortal can claim to be Die Gotteskanzler Arm, for his arms are too mighty and powerful for us to comprehend. I have encountered Cpt.Jack before, but I was occipied at the time and was unable to deal with him. He is a heathen spy from Liberty send to corrupt us with lies. If possible, wait for the Military to arrive, and we will deal with all three of them.

Violating our treaty with the GMG of Sigma-13 by moving into their space is reason enough to have them put to death. They are risking our improving relations with Kusari as a whole.

Undermining my glorious military and police forces while flying one of our own ships? This is treason. I believe we all know the punishment for treason?

Here are my orders, however much I hate giving them:

Destroy their ships and bring me any escape pods if they will not surrender and be boarded.
Remember. If they will NOT surrender for trial.

For the attention of Rhienland Military High Command

Admirals,

Daumann Heavy Construction has been struggling to meet its needs in raw Nobium for some time now.
Indeed it has cost us much of our diamond production to just acquire this one resource.
Because of this crippling burden we have entered into a deal with the Zoners to let us mine Nobium to our hearts content in Omega 47.

The dumb schmucks have allowed us to have the annual rights for a mere 10M credits.

Hopefully this will drive down the cost of Nobium in Dresden.

However they are concerned about our stance with these Harvesters. I would therefore implore you to officially toughen our stance against them... What you do unofficially is entirely up to you.

Daumann is forever grateful for your support and protection.



Becker out.

This was a day to educate the Heathens. Unfortunately the infidels can't understand words, only the sound and heat of the holy guns of the Kanzler. A number of Freelancers and Mercenaries had to be put out of our territory.

A duo of gunboat class ships thought it was a wise thing to stand in orbit of our capital, blocking the access to the docking rings as well as the tradelane paths. One of them, a Bounty Hunter Guild gunboat fully armed with Libertonian arsenal was ordered to explain it's relation with the Heathens from Liberty. It not only didn't explain, but ignored our hails. It came to a point where the only thing we could do was destroy the two vessels to have them clear our space. Their total disregard for Rheinland law couldn't go unpunished.

Two Harvester ships were spotted by me in Rheinland space while I was in command. Being witness to the results of whatever they did to the people I've rescued from SconrStar and another one of their vessels, I think it is only natural that we at least order them out of our space. Their presence in our space is a mockery to the shattered people we've rescued from the ScornStar's hold. I will not allow them to roam freely within Rheinland space. For now I'm ordering their ships out. Upon commands clearance, I will destroy those ships on sight.

Action packed day in Berlin, expanding to Dresden territory as well. After forming up with the already fighting officers, we managed to deal with a Corsair gunboat and a titan belonging to OPG in short time. 2 misguided Hessian bombers were to follow them as the first one was disabled in Berlin, while the other fled to Vogtland where his vessel was dismantled to dust, trying to evade us in vain.
Our division encountered Outcasts and additional inbound Hessian contacts around the jumpgate to Berlin. Vessels belonging to RHA, BLS and RoS were spotted during the entire hassle. None of them were able to pose any kind of threat against our sturdy barricade though. Outcasts lost 2 fighters in the action, while their destroyer support as well as 2 other fighters on their side had to depart from the contact zone due to being outmatched. Their last remaining fighter tried to bug the gate but was hopeless before leaving the area. Hessians were forced to withdraw before the Outcasts.

We are once again triumphant against any sort of corrupted scoundrel..

Fur Rheinland!
