DELIVERING MESSAGE...
Dear Oberkommando,
representative for my co-pilot, officer Selitz, I am sending you the report of his shift yesterday. First I want to express that to my point of view it was a Polizei officer's worst nightmare.
First of all he had to deal with three Interspace Commerce vessels, that were violating their shipping restrictions. Two Gull-transports and a Bretonian Shire.
While dealing with the first ones, the Shire could escape his punishment for a while. Officer Selitz ordered the Gull-transports to drop the military vehicles and pay a fine of 2.5 Million for them together. After some discussion they did so.
Right after this, Selitz with the Geilenkirchen chased the missing IC-Shire. Meanwhile this violater might have landed on Oder shipyard, as the Quantum multiplexors were changed for engine components.
In the end the Shire was stopped at the trade lane to Brandenburg Border station. Officer Selitz tried to levy a fine and order the contraband to be dropped, but the IC cpatain did not comply. The Geilenkirchen opened fire on the Shire, and the latter was destroyed when the RNC-Ostsee arrived. The contraband was destroyed. Please see the guncam and commchannel records for evidence.

Next incident was in the Munich system. The Rheinwehr gunboat RNC-Panther had spotted a trading vessel with military vehicles on its test flight. Officer Selitz responded and surprised to find the vessel Dukki, now emitting a civilian ID instead of IC. This time, officer Selitz became angry, forced the pilot to drop the cargo again and pay a fine of 2.5 million. After some discussion the the captain complied to it.
Guncam evidence: **
The sum of both fines had been forwarded by me to RFP|Arsenal.
And now I will have to tell you the most saddening part of this report. While returning to Frankfurt system, three Corsair ships had destroyed two Tourist vessels and were holding the civilians as hostages.
In exchange of credits they would let them free. As officer Wolthers could not find out their exact location - The Corsairs retreated very fast as soon as the Geilenkirchen was in range - he called up for reinforcements while trying to negotiate with the Corsair pirates, that identified themselves as Black Sails.
Officer Selitz was not sure about the current status of the hostages and so he did not want to get into a trap himself. An IMG vessel - the Dionysos - tried to negotiate with the Corsair to help officer Wolthers, but he refused as he did not want another ship to be a victim of the pirates.
Meanwhile the Rheinwehr secondary fleet did either not reply for the distress call or refused to help. He tried to lure the Corsairs near to Mainz station but this did not work. At this point the Corsairs killed some of the hostages and had destroyed another civilian vessel carrying vacationers.
At this point I will upload the commchannel records of this event to acknoledge the whole tragedy of it:

With the pirates lost somewhere in the Sigmas and no hope of retrieving the hostages, all Rheinland ships set route back to Rheinland core space. Officer Selitz has landed on New Berlin.
We have lost at least one new Rheinwehr gunboat, two or three civilian vessels and about 759 hostages, while only one Corsair ship could be destroyed.
I do not know how you, dear Oberkommando think about this incident, but officer Selitz feels guilty and responsible for the loss of the 750 civilians despite the fact that he could rescue about 1.100 to Fulda. He is even considering retirement and I am buzy to convince him not to do this.
