Attention on deck!
Gentlemen! Rekrut Kristoff Baier has been today promoted to Flieger rank. He has served the Revolution well. High command apologizes for the long delay for this. Papers are being pushed harder in the future. Herr Baier is well on his way to climbing ranks as we see a lot of potential in him. We are sure to hear from him again.
Those of you who are still not aware of what it takes to get promoted are advised to study this document: RHA rank structure. Your current progress is being monitored and kept track of. When you have spare time check the Progress Log, which will be released shortly.

Due to his accomplishment of the needed rank requirements, Rekrut Mike Stah is as of now promoted to Flieger rank. Congratulations.
As a side note, Flieger Stah: Despite what the Kanzler's spindoctors might say about us, we're not a "pirate cartel", but a revolutionary organisation. Our members should act like it. Learn from our other members how to behave in space, and you will soon be a valued and respected Hessian.

Regular patrol in Omega-7 brought unexpected victory. Though at first, scanner showed random freelancers named Android_17 and Gorgo around Briesen Mining Facility, closer scan showed that they had one of our comrades from LWB on board. His life was not to be compromised so I've ordered them to release him. Unusual for freelancers, they even dared to ask 500k credits for his life. Maybe outnumbered but not outgunned, one of ze freelancers found what was he looking for and was blasted without mercy.
Another freelancer was on his way to meet his friends fate when BHG|Mary.Poppins, Bounty Hunter Guild gunboat, type 'Orca' showed on scanner, immidiately opening fire on my vessel. Soon, gunboat captain was accompanied with another BHG pilot named BHG|Moray-Piranha, flying BH bomber. I had no choice but to call reinforcements from Freital.
First to come to help were [RHA]RHGB-Jagdtiger under Major Hoerst command and bomber [RHA]Schwarze_Adler. Fight was not going well as we thought and even one more Bounty Hunter VHF named BHG|Wes.''Feral''.Cutter joined in. But, exzellent shot from Jagdtiger sealed the fate of BH bomber and ze enemy gunboat soon fell after him. Enemy fighter retreated so we left for Freital for repairs.
Although BH presence in Omega-7 isnt something new, I advise that we keep are eyes open in case more of zis 'hunters' show up. They maybe hunting in packs but their morale is their weak point. Working for few mere credits cannot be stronger then our faith in ze Volkrevolution. We will prevail, Kameraden, show them that zis is our ground!

Greetings High command. Today i did a patrol in the NB system. Nothing unnormal just asteroids and some Rhenland Propaganda on the comms. Lather i was contactet by 2 of our Officers and we Blockt the Stutgard tradeline. Traders comed in and got out empty. then a Militery Super Hevy Fighter Crash our party well we told it to turn and run but the he did retreat we Atackt and the Result was one super hevy fighter less for the RM. here are some gun camera shots.
Neurath and I started with some tradelane donation gathering when ve were approached by a Daumann train hauling fertilizer to who knows where. After a few pleasantries another Daumann pilot with an empty hold was detained and asked about his intentions. While both pilots were being interrogated, Neurath mentioned the first Daumann pilot was making a run for it.
I'm not sure if some malfunction caused 2 supernova rounds to completely disappear on his hull, but the pilot managed to retreat to Battleship Strausberg; I will have to look into this matter.
While turning around to head back towards our checkpoint, we were engaged without warning by a nearby Kruger pilot who felt his righteous mission included suicide.
Not long after we were joined by Petko Dimitrov when we encountered yet another suicidal pilot looking to remove us from Rheinland space. We gave the pilot a fair chance to release the Unioner and Hessian pilots he was holding captive, but chose to fight instead.
We made short work of him as well and rescued the hostages; when it rains, it pours.
While we waited for the escaped transport to continue on his route, we encountered another lone, empty transport making his way towards the Omegas. The pilot seemed to have no money and no cargo, so we simply asked him to announce his support for our revolution for all of New Berlin to hear.
That beautiful moment was interrupted by a Rheinland Cruiser with some interesting proposition for us. He suggested we make our way to the Omega 7 system to rid the area of Corsairs rumored to be harassing miners. We received orders to follow along, but the intention was to rid of ourselves of the military accompaniment as soon as the task was completed.
Corsairs and pirates all cleared up from Omega 7 and the departure of our "escorts", I made my way back to Freital to take care of some important matters.

I keep hearing of the growing Military presence in Omega-7, it seems like the Daumann miners are shifting their ops to that area, where it's "safer". It's good news, men, it means our campaign in Omega-11 is making good progress. Soon enough they'll be pushed to Solarius again, and we'll be able to carry on our siege.
In the mean time, keep the pressure on them on both fronts. Omega-7 security seems to be drawing in more and more bounty hunters, and the Military is growing content with the stalemate in Hamburg, they keep sending regular patrols into the western border worlds now as well. Some even with capital ships. I got a report on my desk today that the cruiser Von Rohe was dispatched to deal with a Military cruiser in Omega-7 today. Of course the Von Rohe crew's superior experience in fighting in dense asteroid fields paid off, and the result was predictable:
Lets hope we can strike enough ships off of the Military's record in that system to force them to withdraw. If we can dominate Omega-7 and secure Omega-11 soon, it will be a massive boost to the movement so do not neglect it.

I would also wish to congratulate Petko Dimitrov, who has successfully completed his induction into the Red Hessian Army, and has as a result attained the rank of Flieger. Good job, Dimitrov. Keep it up, learn from your superior officers, and maybe you'll be a junior officer yourself soon enough.
I bear good news today! While I was in Stuggart gathering donations, I encountered a trader of Military Vechiles and too my great and first success, I managed to get 2 mill off of him.
(A new guy came by but I wasn't prepared so he got away because I didn't see im until after I took screen.)
It was my first complete success ever! Shortly after though, I encountered a RM Freighter and went into a swift retreat with no hope of defeating it. I am now going to put the money into the Revolution in hope that we will conquer these RM.

Attention on deck!
Red Hessian Army High Command has seen fit to post this public RHA Pilot Progress Report Updates to it are done based on the messages done to this channel.
Let me once again remind you that those of you who are still not aware of what it takes to get promoted are advised to study this document: RHA rank structure.
Show that you mean to make it in our ranks. You are dismissed.
Oh, wait. I almost forgot. As me and Major Neurath where flying through Frankfurt to Dresden hole a Kishiro transport flashed by our scanners. I sent a message to Kishiro in system exhorting him to be cautious the next time we meet and he could either play ball or not. He decided to play ball. He wired me 1 million and told that we do not need to get rough gaining their donationary support for the cause. So, if you see a Kishiro transport, go easy on them at first, but do not hesitate to rough them up if the pilot seems to have ideas other than donating to the Frei Rheinland funds.
i am glad to be accepted to the Red Hessian Army and proud to wear our insignias. Even though my vessel still got minor technical defects, i could not wait and started my first patrol what turned out a little more busy than expected.
Bericht EM#00114/1/18:
21:10 Uhr, undocked Vogtland Base and observed Dresden System - no incidents.
22:21 Uhr, Incoming transmission from ICMG[SL07]Lobster.Lord: He donated a considerable sum to our cause and offered future support as well. Awaiting order how to proceed.
23:21 Uhr, Freital Base reported several incoming contacts. Course set to Omega 11. Welcomed the Unioner vanguard of the cruiser Duisburg.
23:33 Uhr, The Cpt. of the [RHA]RHT-Seehund, ordered a scout mission to Omega 5. Ronneburg Base reported an unknown contact in Omega 5. But the signal disbanded before we could locate it, so we returned to Freital Base for minor repairs. Herr Maik Lehmann supported me there very well.
23:51 Uhr, undocked from Freital Base to join a Hessian/Unioner patrol in Omega 7. There we spotted a DHC patrol near Briesen Mining Facility. A Bounty Hunter Gunship, several fighters and the cruiser RNC Scharnhorst were gathering. In a glorious battle under the lead of Herr Neurath we took out the Gunship first, almost that fast like the infamous RNC Scharnhorst afterwards. We were able to free 1 Unioner and 3 captured LWB pilots.
23:59 Uhr, as nasty surprise an unexpected dark matter wave crossed the system in the middle of our glorious and heroic victory. I lost the control of my Loki, as well as i passed out by the impact of the wave and drifted a few hours in the nebula.
15/1/18: 6:44 Uhr, regained consciousness, returned to the battlefield and scanned the area without notable results.
10:32 Uhr, returned to Freital Base for repairs.
The engineers at Freital Base still have problems to fix my major problem, refer to guncam shot #1. I will stay at Freital Base and catch some sleep, that was pretty amazing.

While the official report of the events happened 2 days ago is still being made, our transmissions already told the word about it to the Rheinland people.
Transmissions were made in New Berlin, Frankfurt and Hamburg systems at the same time. The drone in NB suffered a hacking attempt and self-destructed, the drone in Hamurg self-destructed at the detection of hostile vessels nearby and the Frankfurt drone was lost, but all of them had managed to spread the word loud and clear, the percent of sucesseful jamming from the fascists still remains at 10%. Self-destruction systems tested and worked fine. Not like anyone could get something from captured drone, but better not supply them with anything, ja? And the slight chance of damaging the enemy still remains.
New speech is already almost ready.
Speaking of RFP behaviour, it was hard to resist to laugh when we listened to their attempts to arrest the automated drone and to their shock as drone "commited suicide". So, we didn't even try to.
