Wasn't sure where to put this, so I put it here. Today while providing security to DHC transport Rosenheim, I got some smugglers roaming around Stuttgart. They are most probably people work for only money without affiliation however, one of them was an employee of the planet-terrorist organization "Planetform". Both ships had wide variety of weapons onboard, hardly legal. I think they came from the Östnebel, considering the Planetform one approached Baden Baden on cruise speed instead of using the trade lane. The other one was a Rheinland made Humpback, with two Red Hessians (probably the crew).

Captain notes: Was a very quiet route today (boring I would say), ran into DHC-Rabe-01 and agreed into escort me and my Diamonds to Planet Kyushu, then back to Stuttgart, we ran into an eager Corsair, but he rather didn't take us. Other than that I think Rabe is a very nice escort, I might contract with him more often, and I forgot to take some Visual Evidence of the route and trade, was really focused on the route. You could say I was nervous, but, I have seen more than that.

The route to Gallia begins to be routine has the amount of journey accoumplished is increasing. This has provided my crew the experience it needed. It’s good to have a fully efficient crew back.
The Einheit’s delivery order are still very simple to do. Cobalt from Breisen to Alessia Station in Dauphine. And Shape memory allow back to Freiburg. In order to help the mining division, we agreed to bring Drill bits to Briesen afterwhile. Even if we loose time on the loading/unloading procedure, it is an investisement as, I guess, we dont have to put a Behemot on it.
Gallia is immense. I’m really happy i’ve learned their old language. Findings directions at first was usefull. I’ve had a camera snap of the Dauphine main celestal body. Mein Got this giant gas planet is beautiful. I could watch it for hours. As the my shipment of Shape memory alloy wasn’t ready the last time, I took the Einheit on a closer orbit near the majestic blackness. I went from a node to the other. The crew appriciated.
Warning though with their jumping gate. It is advised to align the ship at least a klick before inititating the gate.
News from our logistic department showed us a new reorganisation amongst which the Einheit will be part of. It seems we are to load Uncuts Diamonds in Omega 11. I dont like that at all. This is Hessian preying territory. Moreover, this kind of cargo always attracts unwanted ones. They have mentionned in the video conference about that reorganisation that we will be supported by our new gunboat prototype fleet. What do they have in mind ? That they wont show up with cruisers ? Anyway, is there only a place in this galaxy that isn’t at war with somebody or something. The Einheit will of course heads where it’s been asked to, relentlessly. Solarius will be our main mooring point in the system. I’ll wait for more an official announcement to proceed over there into a full scale hauling.
Anyway. I’ve just heard my navigator we’ve reached Briesen.

Greetings.
The prototype P-05RG’s advancement is still in progress. We encountered many problems. Nothing is to be reported from the reception of the ship itself, the problems lie in the equipments.
First of all. We are still waiting for the new « scanner ». I think our engineers knows what i’m mean. I wouldnt so much complain about delays in the delivery for this new technology in normal time, but this needs to be corrected at once.
Daumann’s head was clear enough on the importance of a rapid developpment of a gunboat wing in the Corporation.
Secondly, there is a problem in the linkage of the groups fire command. This has been revealed in the first encounter in real combat situation. I’ll get on that later. It seems I’ll have to go to the Ring back to fix this says my gunner crew.
Otherwise, due to this linkage problem, neither the forward gun nor the turrets could have been tested. As a result, I cant accept this prototype as a ready to fly ship. The test period is therefor extented to further results.
I believe you will soon recieved my report on this first combat mission.
You’ll find me near the shipyard area on the Ring if need.
Happened today an unusual event during the test phase of the P-05RG. The mining operation number 1911.2013.20 warned us about incoming warships toward Solarius.
3 cruisers were to reported. Two of them were Hessians. The third one strangly displayed a Gaian IFF. Must be a malfunction. MC Thomas - Seelow - [HW]Schiesien were their ship’s name.
The mining team’s emergency called was heared by the RNC who affected a battleship and a cruiser for the matter. The RNC-Hannover and the notorious RNC-Neckar. Andreas Schmidt really help to coordonate the incoming military ship and rushed into battle afterward. The situation was quickly back to normal.
As the ennemy was outclassed directly. I took the liberty to make a weapon test in real situation. It wasn’t satisfactory at all. Our engineer already have my reports on that.
As it is my duty to report every combat actions of my ship, even at the prototype state, please sort this message as the first combat report.Thank you.

Ship name: DHC-Hel
Patrol participant ships: Lone Patrol.
Route: Patrol in the Von Rohe belt. Objectives: Ensure security for our mining operation Hostile loses: 1 Corsair Bomber. Friendly loses: 1 Arrastra
Pilot notes:
Today, the Hel left for a patrol in the Von Rohe's belt. First important point to report was this BMM Hegemon in our field of operation. Obviously this captain has fooled one of our miner.
As the evidence of the Hel's onboard camera will show, this BMM ship named Old.Digger should be watched.
Long range trackers showed him in Liberty system afterward. I will let to the proper authorities a memo concerning this matter.
Our miner was deeply sorry to learn his mistake and will pay more attention in the futur as the Hel's records shows.
Minutes later, a Junker IFFed bomber ship arrived. Ship named was JM|-Multi.Melta-B2. That pilot wishes to enter in communication with our center. I recored the event for a good order of the files.
While I was discussing the previous matter with Herr Lugus about the importance of asking to each transports Captain a piece of ID before proceeding to the ore filling process, two Corsairs ship arrived. They wanted a donation from us. We told them this wasn't the proper derpartment and invite them to contact the Ring for this delicate situation. At this moment, they open fire without any warning at all. Herr Lugus has barely had time to eject. That moment was captured by camera.
I ordered my gunners immediate fire on those ships. The Corsairs were flying a bomber class ship and a heavy fighter. I shot the bomber down, but the fighter managed to escape. Their name and IFF was recorded as asked and will be added to our criminal database.
This ends the report.

Pilot notes: I've met with some hessians in Stuttgart and I didn't like their faces. Three from the mighty RHA, only one of them survived. I immediately called for more ships to hunt down that runner, nothing really else to add.

Ship name: DHC-Wolfsberg
Mining operation participant ships:
Ship DHC-Wolfsberg
System: Omega-11 Type and amount of ore mined: ~2800 containers of Uncut Diamonds
Captain notes:
During mining I was extorted by hessian raider. Surprisingly that one wasn't that much indoctrinated as others, and seemed to be really worried about our House's future. The most important thing was his revelation about new Bundschuh base in Dresden system. Hostility shown by hessian toward Bundschuh is astonishing, as in the past both groups cooperated more or less closely.
