Guten tag,
All start in Stuttgart, we were on patrol, when IMG transport jumped to stuttgart from omega-7. Vize admiral Weissman were in command and told IMG to leave Rheinland space. After some minutes DHC fighter jumped to Shtuttgart system too, his news were terrible. IMG with wings of bombers attacked Briesen, and DHC were in need of help.
All started here, we jumped to omega-7 and madness began.
All kind of transport tried to deliver goods to Frieshtadt, IMG, Hessians, Colonials, even SCRA attacked DHC and our forces all over system, later even some corsair joined, but was destroyed by united forces.
In this madness, I managed to destroy 4 targets, 2 of them were fighters, and 2 of them were transports. [color=#33CC00]Visual Record- 01
Later when capital fleet showed on the field, we received order to regroup and rearm in Stuttgart system, but we were never launched again. It seems, that our forces handled that situation.
End of report.

Flieger Sulzer reporting.
We've done a little commerce policing with the other Flieger Sulzer; we caught an IMG transport hauling engine components towards Liberty near Dortmund. Little after asking him to stop, the ship opened fire at us, along with its under-equipped escort vessel, Sasha.
We shot down both.
Later on, we caught a BMM military vehicle trader, looks like he was unaware of the regulation so we made him drop without a fine. He did comply with all our demands.
In Stuttgart, we spotted a pair of Rheinwehr battleships shooting at some snubcraft, I tried making them stand down, but they claimed they were specifically designed for the job. As the RNC-Lawine, the RNC-Wallenhorst and the RNC-Weissritter were swarmed and destroyed by a fleet of bombers, that claim was proven to be wrong.
Most of the marauders fled the area immediately as they took out the capital ships, so did the other Flieger Sulzer, the coward. Leutnant Austerlitz arrived to lend a hand with mopping up the remains, we took out a Unioner Arbeiter and a Red Hessian bomber.

SUBJECT: defense of Stuttgart
i was call by a higher ranking officer duty because some Corsairs gunboats were in O7
when we got there we meet up with the gunboats after some fighting they ran and disappear maybe into a jumphole about 5 mins after the fighting, red Hessians were in O7 and me and the RNC-Hinenburg were there. We call for back up and then engaged there started off as 3 bombers and grew with some reinforcements
but we got our reinforcements about 5 mins into the fighting.
after some time fighting my ship was badly damaged and i docked for repairs
Yesterdays patrol was quite long and messy, I will try to focus on the main details here.
Frau Leutnant Austerlitz called for men to perform a patrol of the Omega-7 system. Gefreiter Hoguf was already with the Frau Leutnant and I met with them in Omega-7 where they already had catched a violator of the laws of our beloved Kanzler. Scan of the violator
This Junker was breaking the Junker regulations for allowed ships (Article 8 §1.2.). On top of that he was also registered in the criminal database and was subject to execution.
Unfortunately he was able to run to Freistadt and dock there. Junker on the run
In the meantime Gefreite Lemann was on the way to join our patrol. However, she reported two suspicious vessels at the Stuttgart Jump Gate in New Berlin. The Rest of the patrol moved there to assist.
After our arrival we tried to inquire the reasons of their presence there. They answered they were former Ageira workers and now working as Freelancers fixing Gate and Tradelane related issues. This was indeed highly suspicious, but unfortunately an emergency call from Braunschweig made it impossible to gather further information. We ordered them to clear the Jump Gate perimeter and left the case to a member of the secondary fleet.
Said emergency call was made by a secondary fleet member. He reported a Liberty capital ship has breached Braunschweig security perimeters through Bremen. Frau Lemann and me docked as soon as possible to switch to bombers and moved there as quickly as possible. The RNC-Pressburg also received said emergency call and joined us to dispatch that threat. Arriving at Braunschweig the secondary fleet member reported the enemy has jumped back to Bremen, so we pursued him. The snubcraft took the lead and jumped ahead to scout the other side of the Bremen jumphole. He was already waiting for us there and the battle began. The secondary fleet member in his Wraith disengaged after some time into the combat. While we were busy landing some hits on him the Pressburg also jumped, now that we had the attention of the Libertonian ship and the jumphole was clear. With combined forces of our bombers and the Pressburgs heavy weapons the threat was dispatched without friendly losses. Battle with the Liberty Dreadnought Smashed by the Kanzler's Hammer
Reports of several ships belonging to the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army marauding in New Berlin reached us while we docked our bombers. All vessels were reported to be fighters, so Frau Lemann and me changed back to Wraith class fighters. Frau Leutnant Austerlitz joined us while we moved to the position they were last seen. It was near Stuttgart jump gate where we encountered them currently fighting a Bounty Hunter. Arriving at the scene
The Leutnant and the Gefreite jumped in to deal with them while I guarded the jump gate to make sure none of them flees. Rheinwehr going in
After some minutes of battle the first one fell to their fire
The Bounty Hunter was then ordered out of the fight for he was quite reluctant to listen to our orders given during combat.
The second SCRA fighter could be dispatched by our forces, but unfortunately reinforcements arrived on their side in the form of a Hessian and one vessel belonging to the group known as AGS, this was the time for me to take part in the fighting as well. We were able to destroy the AGS ship, but their reinforcements kept coming in. Fighting
Under the vessels coming there to aid them we discovered a strange one in particular. We were able to get some scans on him and his ship was destroyed later on. Strange ship
The battle raging for quite some time now, Leutnant Kraus came in to assist us, but was shot down later on.
From this moment on, with their numbers growing stronger over time and us growing tired, Leutnant Austerlitz gave the order to retreat. Gefreite Lemann, the Leutnant and myself managed to pull out there and get to safety, where we docked to let repairs be conducted and finally get some rest after that long and exhausting battle.
Mein Herr, Feldwebel Erwin Helge reporting on defense action new the Stuttgart to New Berlin Jumpgate.
I started my day as normal, reviewing my orders and making a final check of my Wraith. I had orders to patrol the New Berlin system and I was diligently carrying out those orders when I intercepted a high priority message from a secondary fleet flieger with information on a pirate gunboat in Stuttgart. I knew this would be a tough fight as I have had little combat experience against gunboats in one of the Kanzlers snubcraft. I docked and switch to the aircraft designated DTS-134-667. It was armed for combat against the capital ship and I launched as soon as I could. I asked the Gottkanzler for strength and guidance in this mission, and he provided in the form of an RFP pilot by the name of Katja Weirich. This officer was an Ex-bomber pilot in the RM I believe and the tips provided by the officer saved my life in the ensuing combat. With the Gottkanzler in my heart, and the RFP at my back we engaged the criminal gunboat and ended it, not without taking heavy damage but both of us survived the ordeal.
The credit for this victories goes to the Rheinland Federal Police, and their undeniable, and greatly appreciated help. I could not have done it alone.
Mein Herr, Feldwebel Erwin Helge reporting on defense action in New Berlin.
A quick update Kommandants, shortly after my first encounter with the pirate gunboat Quark, I was contacted by one of the FL mercenaries patrolling the Rhein. He informed me he and another RM gunship had been destroyed by the one knowns as Quark, and one known as Rip Red Rory. This encounter happened in Frankfurt and the gunship team was moving to New Berlin. With the Fatherland under attack I could not just sit by and wait. I tried to gather some support luckily a Secondary fleet pilot showed up by the name of Sven.Rainer. With Herr Rainer's help we engaged the two gunboats near the New Berlin to Stuttgart jumpgate. We downed the first known as Quark, and after that the appearance of an RFP officer we succeeded in downing the second known as Rory.
Rip Red Rory should be considered extremely dangerous and well trained in the use of his gunship, it is also fitted with a Cap 8 Armored upgrade.

Mein Herr,Today the Freya was called again to ze Omega-7 but this time was something not very common for ze Omega-7 system. We were called by ze RNC-Weissritter and ze RNC-Vernichtungsgedanke. When we arrived we saw two Order Battleship Class vessels.
I started talking to ze captains but they seemed not to be aware of Rheinland laws or any house laws for that matter. I told then they were breaking Rheinland law. But it went ugly when one of ze Battleships attacked the RNC-Vernichtungsgedanke.
We were two gunboats and one cruiser so we didnt have ze fire power to beat them. So we called in a Bomber and a another cruiser. The odds became positive, One EDGE gunship came to aid us as well. Ze order ships were destroyed and completely decimated.
There were no escape pods either the crews of the Battleships died with them or they went away before we started looking for survivors. Still those two order Osiris cause reason for suspicion. Ze Freya will remain on high alert as it aways did. These are our black box records.

Gutan tag Rheinwehr.
Hauptmann von Herrmann here.
It is my unfortunate duty to inform you of the crippling of the RNC-Nuremburg. The vessel was damaged during the escape of a captured Liberty spy, and is presently located on Oder awaiting repairs. The agent was encountered while undertaking joint-operations training with the 73rd Veitschchheim (Boarding Unit.) in Dresden. The Libertonian was detected first by Ge. Adler, a commendable display of precision considering the size of the opposing bomber craft. His bomber was destroyed in short order, and the escape pod taken aboard. A complete report is yet to be compiled; however, it appears the LSF make use of non-standard pods, ja? The prisoner then proceeded to sabotage the Nuremburg's systems before escaping on-board interception craft dispatched to provide assistance. No useful intelligence was recovered from the agent, save what appears to be his callsign. Zeta, so I am told. A full report pertaining to this matter will be submitted in due time.
None of the Nuremburg's permanent crew suffered major injury in the event. Stabsunteroffizier Karl sustained a minor concussion, all signs indicate that he will return to active duty within the week.
I am disappointed with the conduct of the 73rd. Upon contact with the enemy, the entirety of the 6th Platoon fled without regard to the safety of my crew or their own duty. Messages have been dispatched regarding their immediate discharge.
In the stead of the Nuremburg, a Norn-Class Gunboat, I have been offered command of the RNC-Rohrberg, a cruiser-class vessel attached to the 4th Kreuzer Gruppe. It is with a heavy heart that I accepted this new appointment. The 303rd Geschwader are left under the command of Leutnant Brandt, I have no doubt he will do them proud.
This does; however, leave the issue of the Nuremburg. Local engineers indicate the vessel will be ready to return to regular duties within three weeks. As I will not be re-joining the 303rd, the vessel is hereby placed at the disposal of Rheinwehr Command. Expect docking codes over a private frequency as soon as the Gunboat is operational.
On a more personal note, the existing crew of the Nuremburg will be accompanying me for the duration of this command. I cannot think of a group I would rather have at my side.
Signed,
Hauptmann Nikolaus von Herrmann,
4th Kreuzer Gruppe

Guten Tag meine herren.
Today my patrol starts from Straussberg,where I met Major Lander's wraith. I've notice 2 Roc bombers near Bonn. They treid to pirate ALG vessel at tradeline to Stuttgart Jump gate. So I and Major started fight with them. Shortly after beginning of that fight Lemon.Reaver appeared and enjoyed that fight...Not for long time. Soon Roc was destroyed too I got orders to move to Stuttgart system. Here I've met Hauptmann Hermann's Wraith. We tried to find secon Roc but he escaped.
We were regrouping near Karlshule when RHA Odin jumoed from tradeline. Hauptmann and Feldwebel Helge. Followed it and destroyed. But he seems he called reinforcements because we met one LWB and one RHA fighters not far from Ostnebel. Fight was hard. Hauptmann leaved battle, after 10 min we lost Felwebel fighter. I've decided to take position near Karshule. My plan had success: They refused to fight near it,And retreated back to Ostnebel.
