Grusse!
I was on patrol today in Stuttgard, being on lookout for signs of situation that I have speaked of previously repeating itself, when I was hailed from remote location by unknown vessel.
The party that contacted me approached with huge caution, and it took me trough certain... ritual before I was allowed to speak with human over encrypted channel.
As soon as we have set those behind us, the party in question has presented itself as, let me spare you poetry of original introduction, smugglers seeking business contract from within groups with less respect for the establishment.
I have then disclosed as much of my knowledge of Blood Diamonds business we control as I safely could with comms officer of the smugglers. Then I have answered additional questions that were raised about our relationship with <RHA> and markets within Gallia.
While our communications were distrupted costantly by the frequent Ion Storms disabling our onboard electronics, we have managed to conclude our conversation.
In light of recent hostilities occuring that were aimed at our trade, I have witheld the name of other party from this report, and have disclosed it on other channel.

Greetings,
Had a nice long training session today and I think my skill level has gone up a bit. I even won my first PvP fight today! I was training in my Werewolf SHF in Omega 54 with three other members including the big boss.
Hopefully before long I'll at least be able to hold my own in battle.
Earlier we had contact with an enemy barge in Omega 11, launched to engage, however the enemy successfully jumped before we arrived. We'll get them next time!

Guten Tag,
I would like to begin my report with official apology for arriving late and practically missing the training session that was scheduled today. I'm flying plenty combat patrols and as of recently and they are starting to make their tool on my resting patterns.
When I've finally reached Omega 54 system for a practice, it was only Hauptmann still there waiting for me. After short excusing myself, we have did one all-out sparring fight to see how have my flying abilities recovered and changed since previous time.
The duel was ferocious and while until last second outcome was unsure, I've made fatal mistake and my ship was disabled by mine. Despite this my flying has impressed Hauptmann, who has informed me that my flying skill is one worthy of upper echelons of the Armee:
After this fight, I've returned to my post in Omega 5 at which I was quickly called for take off as Corsair Osiris designated CNS.Bahama has appeared in system and SCRA vessel piloted by Julia Dorian on site was desperately seeking any assistance he could get:

Greetings,
Well today on a long hunting mission, that turned out to be a long patrol mission, we were hunting Republican Shipping, they managed to jump around. Also unfortunately we were interfered with by the ever present Ion Storm which struck several times.
We hunted them in Omega 11, Frankfurt, Munich and Omega-3. I ended up in Omega 5 and thought to check some wreaks I came across, however I was too late and they had been scavenged already.
We were chasing around a RS Cruiser with several bombers and the Great Gotterdammerung, it was loaded with a few surprises as well! I managed to get a good view of some systems I have never been too so the journey was worth it.

Salut,
I bring blood of our enemies today. As I was patrolling Omega 7 in hopes of finding miners or shippers that I could extort or indoctrinate for the cause, I have crossed my paths with a Bounty Hunter, BHG|Moshu.
We have clashed but ultimately I have overpowered my opponent and forced him to make mistake which turned out to be fatal for his vessel.
I was then requested to assist Hauptmann in preliminary combat evaluation of new ship, Molly Heavy Fighter. We have sparred but quickly found proposed approach too risky for combat usage.
After this we have received report of Republican flotilla appearing in Munich system, and while we have moved there to investigate, they have managed to jump before we could intercept them.
We followed their trail into Omegas, but they have eluded us. It didn't bother us much as target of higher profile was spotted in Omega 3 system: Corsair capital ship with escorts.
We have moved to investigate and I was first to make contact with target, at Freeport 1. It's captain quickly engaged me but Ion Storm has hit us before Hauptmann could join with me and assist against target.
When Ion Storm stopped, we were left there in system without sight of enemy we have came to crush.
While we didn't deal much damage to our enemies today, we have survived losses on our side, and this is victory in its own.
This day has brought some change upon my regular routine as for a change, I was stationed on our flagship, Gotterdamerung, which was on patrol within Omega 11, searching for jump-worthy Rheinland battleships delegated to assistance of local mining operations.
Eventually we have found and engaged notorious Guardian Rheinland carrier, which we have swiftly engaged and destroyed:
We have then crossed our paths with freelancer, Rhenee.Thorpe.. This freelancer turned out to be very skilled pilot and this combined with fact that eventually Militar Cruiser and Wraith have joined the foray have forced us to withdraw from Stuttgard.
Into Dresden one Wraith followed and held Hauptmann within engagement, however I've managed to bring him supplies much needed after previous engagement. With those, Hauptmann easilly crushed RM-Kurt.Weber:

Guten tag.
Today, was my first patrol. CCTV cameras at the Vogtland Launchpad caught me on camera
I went into Omega 11, after recieving information about a diamond robber. I was joined by the gunboat , The.Wailing.Butcher . after a thorough search, I found the miner, well armed and Armoured.
I tried convincing him to donate to the Cause, and offered him freedom from the Corporate exploitation and an oppurtunity to serve the Armee. but he refused. strage kind of worker. I and our friend tried to reason with him, as I did not want to kill an innocent worker. But he kept denying to pay. He said he would accept to pay a donation with a tax for invading Hessian fields, but would like to work there with his corporate bosses.
our trigger happy friend was eager to kill him. we stopped firing halfway twice, hoping he woulr yield, and we would not need to kill a poor soul. but he was resolute. so, we had no choice but to kil him. we left the escape pod with an active beacon, to attract patrols there.
since I was unable to show a token of appreciation to our friend, I let him take the booty.
We then parted ways as I had some work with a friend of mine on Freistadt. I managed to avoid detection by the Schwerin, by using a passing IMG patrol as cover.
Thats all for now.
For Volksrevolution, for the Fatherland

I have took my fighter for a patrol into Omega 3, to see if system towards which Corsairs recently are displaying great deal of obsession would contain unwanted presence, and it did indeed.
I have quickly met a foolish captain of a gunboat CNS-Cotra, captained by person of such a restricted mind, that he constantly reffered to me per "Heshu Seniorita".
As Corsair Captain was going even greater lenghts in making himself even greater jester than I've already assumed him to be, Gunboat from our auxiliary fleet has joined me. <RHA>Gudan.Jept was his name.
With such backing, I have decided to finally make a stand in defense of my own sanity and so I have issued order to engage.
To my suprise where Contra's captain lacked in brains, he made up for in armour and firepower, and he quickly overpowered hessian Gunboat. As our situation worsened with every second that fighting lasted, miracle has occured in form of a Freelancer, Reckless.One. This freelancer, clearly an hessian sympathizer, has offered his assistance in removal of Corsair from this space for a return of puny 2 milion credits, and I have offered another two if he does this before our capital capsizes. Secondary reason for such an generous offer made on my side was to keep his favor with us, and avoid him too playing his part in destruction of our vessel.
With deal sealed, he quickly joined the foray and with his assistance not only Gudan.Jept was saved, but we have also easily overpowered the Corsair.
After Cotra remains disappeared from our sights, I have paid the reward to freelancer, 4 milion credits out of my pocket and answered his questions about our interest in heads of Kruger and Daumann pilots. We have parted then in peace, but intuition tells me that we may hear from Reckless.One in future.
As I was patrolling Omega 3 today, continuing my work on tampering Corsair activity within this space, I have crossed my paths with Bowex vessel. Seeing how it was headed from Rheinland and curious of its captain political views, I've started to probe him on local channel, however the man remained mindful of his tongue and didn't tell Me anything.
I have then decided that if he'll wont support us with word, he may share part of his gains that he has surely obtained in our house with a soldat of the common people, but in this too I have not succeed.
However Bowex captain did requested me to keep Corsairs off his ship for duration of his travel back to his house, for which he has promised me a reward worthy of my time. I have did my part of agreement, and so as parting gift, I have received 500.000 sirian credits and a promise of possivle support for our cause in future... under condition that it will be played out discretly.
Usual routine of patrolling Omegas was becoming tiresome, so I have requested permission to venture into Omicron Theta, hearthbed of the Corsair space. While my previous foray into thise system has broken my body, my spirit was only reinforced by the experience.
Once I've entered the stage, I have started to bid my time in a wait for Corsair refute... but none came. As I've starded to wonder if I was oblivious to the fact of Crete destruction or jumphole realigment, our sell-sword, The.Wailing.Butcher, has joined me in a wait.
Finally, sole Titan appeared, the Nacho.Libre, and started to question our presence here. Not interested in debate, I have challenged the Corsair to battle and ordered our sell-sword to keep out of it, so he won't scare opportunity away.
We have then clashed, and our clash quickly brought attention of everybody in a system, and even local zoners have boldly stepped in to stop us. Alas their strenght was not enought, and after matched fight I have managed to exploit my opponents mishandle of mines:
After this I have withdrawn from the system to Freeport 5 in Omega 41, where I've made emergency repairs, did my partings with sell-sword, and departed for Vogtland.
