Guten Tag Flottekapitan Meisnerr,
As you are probably more than aware, we are continuing our fight against Synth Foods with even greater resolve now that evidence has been gathered that the fertilizers and imports they have brought to Stuttgart have irrevocably changed the climate and ecosystem of our fine planet.
At this, we would like to request 5 Odin Very Heavy Fighters, 3 Thor Bombers, and 4 Loki Light Fighters for our fight, and to strengthen the ties between us. We have always been more than loyal allies to the Hessians, and will continue to be so until we are no more.
Best regards,
~Johann Steinlaufer

All right gentlemen, listen up. We got ourselves a bounty hunter invasion again. It seems like the last time we handed their backsides back to them wasn't enough, and now they are back for more. Not only do they mass produce and immediately send against us ships of the same IFF, they fly in a team of nothing but battlecruisers and battleships.
The jist of this is: time to undust the old bomber squadron and once again show these prats where exactly can they stick their large capital ships. Permission to attack DW vessels is also granted, since they seem to be trolling around New Berlin as well.
Intel confirms RM is none too happy about this ridiculous military build up right under their noses. If they are around, kindly ask them to step out of the way while our bomber squadrons swoop in. It is more than likely that they will comply and allow these foreigners to be beaten out of Rheinland space.
Since our forces are now once again in danger of being overwhelmed by capital ships, I am putting all crews to high alert. There are to be no forays to New Berlin without bomber support. Do not be afraid to call upon our allies for help. I myself will try to join you all in space to defeat this threat yet again, show them that they have no right to remain in Rheinland.
That is all for now.
Regards,
Meisnerr

We are currently hunting down a Draumann convoy so I will keep this short; we have seen this incursion into our space and have been beating them back. In the past week we have taken down two Battle Cruisers and one Destroyer that we chased all the way back into Omega-15. Currently, I have removed the ROE preventing my gunners from engaging single fighters for bounty hunters only. We will still not actively hunt single RM fighters unless we have to defend ourselves.
We currently have been maintaining a schedule of at least one full patrol of our space a night and have widened so we cover Omega-15 as well.
As always, if any of you need help crushing one of these traitors, let us know and we will make all speed to assist.

We jumped into New Berlin as usual to start our patrol and found what was left of the RM in combat with the Wilde. We set to battle stations and made all speed to meet the RM near the Sig 13 jump. To my XOs dismay I hailed the RM telling them we were coming in to assist. I apologize, RHA, if this seems like treason, but we fight for Rheinland as a whole. The RM broke at this time and the Wilde moved to Sig 13. After a short communication with the cursed RM we jumped in after them. As we came out of the warp we spotted a Scorpion Gunboat. She seemed to have fed off the locals because she showed no damage or lack of supplies. We engaged. The Beast lapped at our shields while my gunners ripped her apart. As we were about to destroy her, we were attacked by a new Wilde contact in a snub nose. As the Scorpion exploded we fired a full broadside and missile salvo into the infected bomber and started a 15 min long battle. We were out of shield reloads so we took a small amount of hull damage from the bombers SNAC, but in the end obliterated the ship. We jumped back to New Berlin expecting an RM ambush, but we were actually begrudgingly thanked for our assistance.
I decided we needed to head back to Dresden for refit and left the RM to their misery. The Varyag is in the shipyard being checked for contamination as I write this. So far so good.

Comm ID: Oberleutnant Johannes Farb. Bomber Red Autumn.
Location: Vogtland, Dresden
It seems that Rheinland military has gotten some new blood. Not so hasty to pull the trigger under any circumstances. I was patrolling Dresden in my bomber Red Autumn and I got jumped by 2 wings of Kruger employees who had a death wish. After quickly dispatching them I collected their pods and decided to generate some goodwill towards our cause in New Berlin among the space-farers.
I hailed the 2 RM pilots in the New Berlin system after coming through the jump hole and stated that I had a present for them in form of Kruger employees; Their true paymasters, and I'd deliver them to near Brandenburg. I said that RHA are not the savages the Chancellor's propaganda makes us to be. To my surprise the commanding officer of the RM was pretty civilized and dispatched a pilot to Brandenburg.
To my even greater surprise the officer that came to Brandenburg did not give me chase but actually took care of the Kruger pilots first. I had flown a bit further away to monitor the situation and was about to respond to officer that you are usually too trigger happy to care for the pilots if it gives you a chance to get to me.
Our rather good communication was rather sadly interrupted by an ion storm before I had saved the whole transcript of the conversation.
But nevertheless it seems that at least some in the RM still has time to think before pulling the trigger. It must mean they haven't been able to eradicate us so they have to try alternate means. Which must mean that Chancellor's grip on the military is loosening. I smell the Autumn in the air gentlemen.

I saw some some activity in Dersden so I went to patrol to the Omega-11 jump hole. When I arrived I found a pilot called Revolver who was trying to kill our pilots and he successfully killed some. I ordered him to drop the pilots, but he didn't answer I asked him again but no respond, so I opened fire. I almost destroyed him but then he ran to Lepzing where I successfully killed him, then I flew back to Vogtland for repair and to bring back the pilots.

When I launched Norman Ludwig asked for help in Sigma-13 he was fighting with an independent rheinland pilot. When I arrived 2 RM pilots were waiting for me at the sigma 13 jump hole. Unfortunately Johann Brunhild ran away, but I killed Karl. Then I find a trader called Just A Trader, I taxed him for 100k and payed. When I arrived to Norman he also killed the independent rheinalnd pilot, but I needed repair again.

After I launched we found a trader Czesio he carried diamonds, we ordered to drop it but he tried to run, but he couldn't and we successfully destroyed the diamonds.Then Danny_Archer come who carried Vechiles, unfortunately we lost him from our scanners. Then a Zoner came in a Talarca cruiser, Convoy|Red-Dragon.HX, at the begining he just watched us. Then a mercenary bomber came who engaged us, Norman destroyed him, but the Zoner engaged us so I ask premission to take him on the KoS list, we had to ran back to New Berlin.

Yesterday I was in league with a fellow comrade in our struggle against the Rheinland authorities. LWB pilot Jonas Vogt and we were doing well in our money raising efforts. After multiple succesful "donations" we got jumped by a large RM fleet of about 6 to 7 units consisting fighters and a cruiser against my Odin and Johan's Eagle. And there was the convoy also firing at us. After giving them a stiff resistance we just had to give up and flee to Sigma-13. We took refuge in Yanagi where we split the loot (RHA share 2,75 million) and I decided to get some sleep.
Today as I came out of Yanagi I saw a peculiar sight. A Rheinland military vessel fighting against a wing of Wild. I had fun watching him get withered away slowly by the relentless attacks of the Wild.

But then I decided to show some good will towards the military guy and helped him to wipe out the Wild and told him that I'll escort you to New Berlin.

But my and a Junker Guard's guy surprise was complete when the soldier just fled to Yanagi! He must have been infected those Wild pilots. We had to talk him out of there. He eventually came out but still he kept floating around. Finally I had to take him down. He obviously was no use to military either. I felt a bit sorry for the guy. But maybe I did all a favor by gunning him down if he was indeed infected.

As I was making my way towards Vogtland my long range scanners showed new RM blood. Michael Wittmann. He was obviously out of his league in the verbal department. They certainly don't teach them to make witty remarks and retorts at the academy. I've heard our dear nemesis Hans Krieger make a statement that all of their pilot's sense of humor is surgically removed. One can only fathom what kind of a horrible operation it must be. But Michael was so out of it I honestly believed that he would pay the 2 mio I asked of him when he had asked "What did I want?"
![[Image: freelancer2008082220102wa0.th.jpg]](http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=freelancer2008082220102wa0.jpg)
I got held up by cops CDing me and Michael was pretty much dumb-founded when I made a humble request for him to do something about them.

We'll I taunted the guy a bit more after he had managed to piss off his fellow wingmates with a careless mine. No wonder he was wondering why they were shooting at him:laugh:

I welcomed him to my world where everybody shoots at you all the time. I managed to make him use his bats and bots and was making a good progress on his hull when he just took the TL and flew off. So a good day for Red Hessians once again.

Comm ID: Hauptmann Hagen von Seelenburg
Location: Vogtland Base
To: Flottenkommando
Subject: Week-End Report
Sehr Geehrtes Flottenkommando,
as ordered, I am here-by reporting about the armed conflicts that took place this week end.
Saturday - 0450 hours
The battle along side our Outcast allies in Omicron Eta turned out to become a victory for our side. More than 10 Corsairs died that day. Flottenkapitaen Meisnerr was leading the squad which consisted of fours Hessians:
- Flottenkapitaen Meisnerr
- Hauptmann von Seelenburg
- Leutnant Schnitt
- Leutnant Sternhammer
Saturday - 1800 hours
After a short period of technical service, where we cleaned our Odins from the ashes and Corsair-blood and did security checks on the vital systems after the nano-bots were done with the hull, Vogtland received a distress call from Red Hessian Pirates who ran a funding operation in New Berlin, next to the s13 Jumphole. Its a shame that a whole army depends on a bunch of criminals but thats only a side-note. As officer in charge, I ordered Leutnant Schnitt to take his Odin into space again. The rest of our men where at the Omega-5 front-line or had to recover from the past battles. Since only Four Military vessels where reported, I figured that I could leave the rest of my pilots at home.
After we arrived, we faced
- Viktor Zirzow | Wrath
- Johann Brunhild | Wrath
- Feldwebel Schulz | Snubnose
- Gunther Rall | Wrath
Sunday 1350 hours
Red Hessian Army High Command ordered me to take two wing-men of my choice and to start a independent funding operation, since the Red Hessian Pirates tend to be unreliable in most cases and we cant afford that our new Gunboat-Project falls back behind schedule. My protest against this order was, unfortunately, overruled. So I told
- Oberleutnant Gryneus and
- Leutnant Schnitt
- Franz Rozinsky | Wrath, and
- Lukas Weltzer | Snubnose
Again, the Hessian Army left a battlefield victorious. We had an easy time to squeeze 6 million out of two traders and get the niobiums of one trader that refused to donate to our noble cause afterwards. Mission Accomplished.
Sunday 1500 hours
After our Squad returned to Vogtland, my wingmen seemed to be highly motivated to finally have real action in omega-5 since we had to annoy our selfs by dealing with traders for the past hour. So I delivered the supplies and successfully requested permission to reinforce the Omega-5 frontline with our squad.
I instantly contacted the officer in charge at Ronneburg to get informations about how the situation was. To my surprise, it was rather calm. Both sides stayed behind the lines to prepare them selfs for the next battle. The silence before the next storm.
We never liked the thought of enemies preparing for battle. As I knew about the capabilities of those Hessian Soldiers under my command, I didn't hesitate to order them to fly straight though the love-nest and to attack Corsair patrols along the stinkers front-line. After they didn't accept our generous offer of soap-supplies, we destroyed the first patrol which consisted of two Bombers. Just as I was about to order our relocation to Ronneburg after I appraised the past victory as a successful hit-and-run mission, another escort who wanted to reinforce his destroyed comrades cached our glimps. We engaged him, but as no one would have expected it else from such a coward Schweinehund, He fled to the Omega-41 Jump-hole. I got wary of the situation. Could it be a trap? It could, but we would never have forgiven our selfs to let a clear kill off the hook. Arrived at the hole, he finally decided to show some guts and started to fight. Only shortly after he was destroyed, A Gunboat with fighter support came over from 41. Nothing big. I ordered our Oberleutnant Gryneus and Leutnant Schnitt to destroy the gunboat. Luckily, its can-opner loadout didnt pose a threat. It was destroyed after less than 20 minutes. Meanwhile, several other corsair fighters came to reinforce their pathetic Comrades.
Hessians are well known for their dry, cold and brutally calculating mentality. But after we saw the explosion of the gunboat, we got bitten by a blood rush.
![[Image: rha-md9.jpg]](http://www.home-of-truth.de/ipix/rha-md9.jpg)
The wrath of our weapons did the rest of the talking. We were swarmed by a battlegroup of at lest 5 corsair fighters. After we destroyed three, at least two other fighters/bombers, they were soon reinfoced by a corsair gunboats and another fighter patrol. I ordered the Leutnant and the Oberleutnant to take down the gunboat while I successfully focused on resupplying them with Nano-bots and Shield-batteries from the enemy titans. After a second enemy gunboat entered the fight, I had no choice but to order a tactical relocation to the Hessian side of the omega-5 front-line to lurk the fighter support away from the capital ships, and deal with the lunch boxes afterwards. Just when we had the Hessian tear Norman Ludewig on our scanners, I had to witness the destruction of Leutnant Schnitt's Odin, after he received fatal hits from the gunboats. Apparently, he didn't use his bots fast enough. Since my cargo-hold was already full with corsair prisoners, Oberleutnant Gryneus managed to successfully loot in the escape pod of Schnitt. Only two corsair fighters manged to fallow us to our side of the fronline, one got destroyed, the other one ran into the heart of the lovenest, where the remnants of the battlegroup we fought already waited for their destruction. As one of the Gunboats seemed to have a Cruse engine malfunction, it was ordered to leave the fight by his superiors. By his stinking superiors, one may add.
The battle in the heart of the love-nest didn't go well for the Corsairs: The stinking gringos lost another fighter and the gunboat. Unfortunately, the Gunboat's missiles managed to strip down the 9s of Gryneus' and my Odin. We finshed the GB off with our razors and relocated to Freital base, Omega 11.
After we both fast-mounted six Zweis, we engaged the remains of the corsair fleet that was destroyed by three Odins. Those (stinking) remains consisted of one Eagle and an OPG-Bomber. The eagle was destroyed in a matter of seconds. The Omega Pirate however, had to hit the hole after 10 minutes, as his vessel suffered major damages and was not capable to regenerate its self with Nano-bots anymore.
After the last corsair fled, me and Oberleutnant Gryneus returned to Vogtland. We ordered the residual recruits to get the corsair prisoners out of our cargo holds. I ordered the execution of 6 of them right away on the hangar deck. Two others are interrogated the moment you are reading this report. We pulled Leutnant Schnitt out of his pod our selfs. It took many Rheinalnd Pilsner to dry our fire at the bar. To stop the shaking of our hands. To stop recalling our victories and think about why we are fighting in the first place.
Sunday 2400 hours
After having a sleep for maybe 3 Hours, Flottenkapitan Meisnerr threw me out of the bed. Ten minutes later, I found my self in the Hessian bomber "Stuka" in a squad led by the Flottenkapitaen (flying the Bomber "Wuerger") along side Rekrut Furchtlos and von Richtoven. Our mission to destoy a Rheinland Military gunboat that actually dared to fly into Dresden's space, could not be executed as it ran to New Berlin, after picking up our Bomber Squad on Long-Range Scanners.
Conclusions and Suggestions
- The "piloting skills" of our Outcast allies, brought me to the conclusion that we must NEVER allow Cardamine in Rheinland space. This .... drug is to much of a risk, not just for the Hessians but for all Rheinland civilians.
- We leave almost every battlefield that was shared with the Rheinland Military victorious. However, if mercenaries get involved, we often have to make a run for it. I suggest to get to the table with the bigger Mercenary armies like the Mandalorians. In this case, another step to the revolution has nothing but a simple price-tag.
- The Rheinland Military becomes weaker every day that passes by. The rotten smell of the decaying pillars of the chancellors power is undeniable. We MUST take advantage of this situation by establishing a tactical outpost in Neu Berlin's asteroid fields, after our gunboat project is done.
- Even the most pessimistic Hessian knows that the fall of the chancellor is at hand. Red Hessian Army high command should start to work on a plan to make the revolution as clean and fast as possible and keep the people of Rheinalnd out of chaos. Also, the phase of RHA's High Command ruling Rheinland should be kept as short as possible. A Democracy must be maintained within a year. We know what happened last time, sirs. We must not repeat it, and be prepared.
- I am heavily impressed by the piloting skill and motivation of Oberleutnant Gryneus and Leutnant Schnitt. All I can say is that I am proud to have these men under my command, as they always reliably execute every order/corsair by using their best knowledge and consciousness. The promotion of Leutnant Schnitt is an obligation in my eyes. Oberleutnant Gryneus now deserves to get the command of a squad more often to enhance his commanding capabilities and soon be decorated as Hauptmann.

Recent reports are very favourable. Corsairs are retreating on all fronts, even the Outcast ones. This leaves us some time to deal with matters at home before attempting to knock down the Corsair defensive wall in the Omega systems.
1. As you all know, the war with Liberty is slowly becoming reality. As much as we would all like to see the Kanzler burn, we can't let foreign imperialism burn down our homeland with him. The Rheinwehr might have pledged their service to the corrupt government, but honour also binds them to defend their Fatherland. The ORH is going to broadcast this order on the day of the official declaration of war, but I want you - the ideological defenders of Rheinland - to prepare yourself for this. In the case of foreign invasion (be it Liberty, Corsairs or Bounty Hunters) Rheinland Military units lose their potential target status. We will repel the foreign assault, then settle matters between us.
2. In 814 A.S. our anti-Corsair pact with the Outcasts has been made. This pact has made it very clear that besides vessels transporting their drugs elsewhere, we can do with smugglers going through Rheinland what we please. Cardamine smugglers are to be redirected outside of our borders if encountered. Under no circumstances can you let them land on any base in the Fatherland. Artifact smugglers are to drop all their cargo or be attacked. The cargo then has to be destroyed to prevent the risk of Nomad infestation on unwary passersby.
3. There is a standing directive not to open fire on vessels of the Order operating in the Omega sector, unless engaged first. I am aware of a number of individuals forging Order IFFs on their vessels in an attempt to spy behind our lines, which is why all non-Black Squadron aligned Order vessels are to be treated with high suspicion, until proven otherwise.
As a side note, Codename: Von Rohe has officially left the dry dock. Codename: Halberd is now in progress. Schematics for the three planned vessels have left technical review, and the prototypes are currently under construction. Expect mass production to be started soon.
Also as a finishing note, I would like to post promotions of pilots especially excelling in the recent battles.
- Leutnant Schnitt to Oberleutnant
- Rekrut Furchtlos to Leutnant

Meisnerr
