Vessel Name: Bantau, Donau Cruiser
Author: Captain Michael Withmann, der Alster Union.
Subject: New Commission
Been delightful to fly this old girl; I’ve been really surprised of its responsiveness to the flight controls. I’ve expected by its age and previous usage it to be a barely scrapped together piece of scrap, instead it reminded me of the quality of Rheinlandic shipbuilding capability.
As expected, our escorts kept our ship safe, as the weapons and sensors systems, unknown to me if due to battle damage, bad maintenance or lack of parts are pretty much offline or missing... shield abnormalities are making me particularly worried. Thankfully engines are up to standards, its maintenance officer; a man seemingly older than ship itself came along with the ship. He even addressed the engine by a personal name...
Our trip has been safe and even boring, which I thank any greatly any God responsible for blessing our voyage, because the crew assigned to me seems less combat-trusty than the old ship itself... I hope can shape this "mob" in a battle-ready crew... only time will tell.
Once checking procedures been ended at Koeln, I will write again.
For the Union.
