Brief ship history
824 A.S. - Commission and trials. After a jump drive failure ship spends rest of the year at the Oder Shipyard.
825 A.S. - Received its own fighter squadron and was deployed as a mobile asset to the border regions, where it served mainly as a forward operating base. Aside from its snubcraft - the ship never entered direct combat itself.
826 A.S. - Taking part in several anti-pirate raids - early successes, later gets almost destroyed by the Corsair trap. Spends rest of the year in shipyard.
827 A.S. - Deployed to the Frankfurt-Munich, when Imperial coup happened. Remains in the Federal service, but during engagement with the Imperial forces is routed and forced to engage an emergency jump to avoid destruction or capture. Ends up in the depths of the Hohenfeld in Thuringia, where it's repeatedly attacked by unknown civilian and military vessels. Surprise torpedo attack into its opened hangar bays obliterates its entire fighter squadron and hangars. Receives heavy damage, but it's successfully rescued by Federal forces.
828 A.S. - Ship joined with the remnants of the Federal navy and was disabled by Imperial forces. Because the vessel's structural integrity was not sound enough for jump, it was towed at the Fort Sommerda, where it was stripped of its useful equipment and decomissioned. Its irradiated hulk remains in the Hohenfeld as it's too dangerous to scrap on site.

Ship log 20/7/827,

made by currently acting commanding officer Barbora Shedivova. Captain is still being examined at the Schatten Research Facility. Good new is, that he is still human and all he needs is enough time for recovery. Bad news is, that he needs time for that and I'll be doing his job for now.

As we have crew shortages, we've been cleared by high command to do recruitment on a planet Weimar. So far we have have 196 applicants, including 23 marines. Not much, but it would be easier to introduce them to the Friedrich Der Große and its crew. We'll be continuing our recruitment until we reach 90% of our crew.

Our chief engineer and his teams made progress today. Reactors #1, #3 and #4 can be repaired. We'll have to replace all worn-out components, but it is doable. Reactor #2 will be different matter, though, as it's beyond repair and we will have to replace it.
Without it, Friedrich Der Große won't be having enough power to jump even if we had a operational jump drive.

Chief engineer will be now looking for ways how to restore our engines to full efficiency.

[List of required materials]
+ Primary reactor #1, 2000 Military salvage, 1600 Engine components, 900 Superconductors, 900 Optronics
+ Secondary reactor #3, 500 Military salvage, 400 Engine components, 225 Superconductors, 225 Optronics
+ Secondary reactor #4, 1000 Military salvage, 800 Engine components, 450 Superconductors, 450 Optronics
+ Total parts needed: 3500 Military salvage, 2800 Engine components, 1575 Superconductors, 1575 Optronics

[Crew changes]
+Crewmen +173
+Marines +23

Ship log 22/7/827,

made by currently acting commanding officer Barbora Shedivova. Captain Karl Guderian is still held at the Schatten Research Facility for examination after his exposure to the nomads. As for now, I continuing with my duties as the ship's commanding officer.

We made a progress today. We are still waiting for necessary contacts to order our new spare parts for ship's reactors restoration to the full capacity, our engineering teams managed to clear and pressurize our hangars. That means - we can now dock and launch strikecraft from our launch bays, even though at lower efficiency as launch bay support equipment is mostly missing, as two-thirds of it was destroyed during the torpedo hit.

As usual, chief engineer gave me list of materials and parts needed for restoration of our docking bays to full efficiency.

[List of required materials]
+ Automated refueling system, 400 Military salvage, 400 Industrial materials, 800 Robotics, 200 Optronics
+ Assisted launch & recovery system, 800 Military salvage, 400 Industrial materials, 800 Super alloys, 200 Optronics
+ Automated maintenance bays, 600 Military salvage, 1200 Industrial materials, 1200 Robotics, 800 Optronics
+ Total parts needed: 1800 Military salvage, 2000 Industrial materials, 2000 Robotics, 800 Super alloys, 1200 Optronics

Ship log 7/8/827,

made by currently acting commanding officer Barbora Shedivova. We nearly lost our ship.

At 0823 28/7/827, we detected temperature and pressure spike in the Reactor #2. We engaged emergency reactor shutdown sequence, but the reactor's worn out systems weren't functioning properly and were unable to shutdown reactor immediately. As a result, the reactor began to melt down and started fires across the overheated coolant pipes.
At 1040, I ordered all non-essential crew to abandon the ship and engaged auxiliary power unit as we started shutdown sequence of all remaining reactors.
At 1200, we began diverting all available coolant to the raging inferno in the Reactor #2. When the coolant stopped all the reactions, we then dumped all the available water and air there to cool it down further.
At 1500, we had situation under control and our ship was towed to the Schatten Facility again to receive emergency repairs and decontamination. As for now, Reactor #2 is now sealed off and shut down permanently until new replacement is found. We lost 17 hands during this incident, 15 of them were working near Reactor #2 or its coolant lines when it happened. New safety protocols are in place for the remaining reactors.

With our ship temporarily inoperable, we focused on our recruitment efforts. Until now, we have managed to recruit 224 new hands and 31 marines.

At 1200 8/8/827, we are scheduled for our ship launch. Repairs are almost finished.

Last ship log 1/3/828,

made by former acting commanding officer Barbora Shedivova. This is the last ship log entry of the RNC Friedrich Der Große. Damage suffered during the fight with Imperials in Thuringia was too severe. Ship lost its structural integrity and was not able to be towed through the jumphole. It was decided to strip the ship of all useful equipment and let it rest for the final time.

As its last acting "captain", I walked through its darkened corridors for the last time, and hopefully, I'm leaving my ghosts and demons behind me. We lost our senior command on this ship, we suffered mental attacks and breakdowns on this ship because of the alien lifeforms.

May you rest in peace, our former home for several years and all those who lost their lives aboard.

Sbohem, odpočívejte v pokoji.

Barbora Shedivova, former commander.
