I was patrolling the Omega-52 system today and got a distress signal from the relay next to the Omega-5 jumphole. A Praefect class corsair heavy cruiser entered our system.
I got there as soon as possible and started interrogating him about his intentions. He said that he was exploring, so I assumed that he's looking for one of our stations. I had to stop him.
After a brief conversation, I engaged him and as usual, the Coalition side prevailed.
I'm attaching a guncam record of his ship exploding.

Yestarday I went out for long range patrol. In Omega 7 I met some Hessians. They asked me to help in destroying Rheinland Base that was located near Stutgart Jump Gate. I sent message to our fighter corps, but only one who were free to come was Darren Lane.
Due to assault many Military ships came, mostly on bombers to take down Hessians on Capital ships. They ignored me and Lane most of time. Few minutes later Darren left to get some repairs - Base defence damaged his ship. Soon I also retreated to Omega 52 because of heavy damage and lost of one Kalashnikov. I dont know destroyed Hessians base or not yet.
When I was near O5 Jump Hole Corsair on Eagle jumped and engaged me without too much talk. He followed me all way to Omega 52 and even after to Zhukovsky. I succesfully escaped him. Corsair was angry and insulted all Coalition few moments after.
Today I made small patrol in O52, when recieved a word about Capital ship in our system. I located him near O50 JH under heavy fire. It was Order ''Geb''. Was. Now its big explosion and scrap to our shipyards. I picked out our pilots and some Hessians and brought them to Zvezdny. No more accidents were after.
For Coalition, Revolution, and our Ikon Alvin Katz!

Comrades, we have a problem.
It appears that Comrade Dmitry Dubovik has committed the traitorous act of displayed an incorrect rank.
Mr. Dubovik, you are no longer a Junior-Lieutenant, you've been a regular Lieutenant for a while now. In fact, as punishment for this disgraceful action, you are hereby promoted to Senior Lieutenant. This extra responsibility should be punishment enough.
Congratulations Comrade, and continue to serve the Coalition well. You may now commission and maintain a Storm Gunboat.
Did another patrol 'round the Omegas today. Ran across some Rheinland cruiser. No idea why he was there, but he also had some uh... strange xenobiotic materials or somethin' like that. I followed him for a while, he eventually jumped into Stuttgart 'n' I decided against followin' him. Didn't wanna end up on the receiving end of a Wraith patrol in this li'l Partisan.
Continued on over to Cambridge where I met some Corsairbomber on the tradelane. We had a nice little chat, he didn't seem like the usual 'sair type so I decided to give him a chance - told him I'd escort him back to Cadiz, stop him from causin' trouble for the workin' types 'round Cambridge and the Omegas. All in all, turned out pretty well.

After my promotion I made my way to Mykolaiv Station to pick ''Storm'' Gunboat from local hangar. Few hours of equipping it, fixing from small damage and corrupted details, which number was very few I must admit, I made test-drive outside of Station. All systems were fine, weapons worked as they should and engines was fast and loud. Dont know why, but I called this Gunboat ''Daemon''. Its red-yellow lights remind me daemons from old books stories.
I spent two-three days learning how to fly on it, how to use pulce/razor tactic and such. Now Im finally ready to bring it into battlefield. And I did already. One hour ago I returned from another raid on Oberhausen Ore Storage. Hessians and even Mollys called me for help. I couldnt refuse. I made my way to it and assisted them.
While doing it some trade ships was destroyed by Hessians. Those who supplied Oberhausen, no innocent were killed. Some Rheniland bombers and fighters was blown as well. After ten-twelve inutes more Rheinlanders came. Large force of bombers jumped from Stutgart. They disabled Hessian Capital ships very fast, even with big casualties. My Storm was harmed not so strong, but I didnt had a chance in this fight. I escaped as fast I could. Most of Hessians escaped using cloak technology and nebula hide-out. Oberhausen still stands, even with huge damage on it.
I made my way back home and sent Daemon to get some repairs. One Razor was heavy damaged and tail of it lacks of one wing. But Im sure our technicals will fix that. Storm Gunboat showed itself very good and Im sure I will use it many times. But thats all for now, let it have some rest. And I would love as well...

Pretty stock standard patrol. Got yelled at by the border patrols hangin' 'round the Omega-50 jumphole, so I went 'n' gave the system a gander. Ran across some guy in a Raven's Talon, told him to leave as per orders, but he kinda... went silent on me. So now he's dead.
Oh, 'n' I'm really takin' a likin' to this Partisan, freakin' brilliant little ship as long as I can keep clear of those mines. Real big switch though, goin' from my Gunship to a li'l fighter - but it's an awesome one at that.

Comrades.
[color=#FFFF00]It is the subtler things in life which bring us all joy. Subtle things such as an Order spy wearing the clothes of a Zoner.
After the interesting test runs of the Hyperspace technology which the Hessians have procured, which saw a small band of fighters penetrate Gallia and return in moments, the Coalition are pouring our research into examining such devices. Currently, we have more pressing concerns with the Hammer project - However trust that we are looking into obtaining such advanced technology.
Back to the Order spy.
We were patrolling our standard route out from Omega-52 to our northern borders in Omega-3. Upon catching a glance of this spy as I was entering a trade lane, I cut our velocity and disrupted the trade lane.
The spy fell into the trap, firstly denying he was a spy then threatening my ship and crew. Imagining calling his ship "uss_explorer". He's practically broadcasting he's a spy!
He did not last long, the gunnery crews enjoyed their practice.

Attention Pilots of the Fighter Corps,
You are hereby ordered to deploy your Storm Gunboats to the Tau Region. It'd about time the Storms got some action, as they're woefully underused despite their brutal effectiveness.
You are to interdict and halt any and all Cardamine and Slaver traffic, and attack any Royal Navy and Outcast targets of opportunity. Furthermore, you are to protect miners in the region from pirates and other miscreants. It's time we make our presence felt in the Tau's, a region we have neglected until now.
