*** MESSAGE BEGINS ***
After scanning a number of traders in orbit of New Berlin our long range sensor stations detected an unknown ship in the Hamburg system. As the ship MP was stationed outside New Berlin I asked it's captain to protect the planet while I went to Hamburg to investigate. Our personnel reported the ship's transponder was transmitting the ship's registry as the 'Praetorian', suspicious of the name I contacted the pilot in open frequencies and demanded that he/she reported for inspection. The pilot refused, stating that I wouldn't like it if I inspect it. I ordered again and the pilot said it was leaving the system. I cut communications and made a sweep of the system trying to find the ship to no avail. I was then informed that the ship had moved to Frankfurt and also that Obergefreiter Quentin had just reported in for duty. I called in for Quentin and ordered him directly to Frankfurt to assist me. As we both arrived in Frankfurt the rogue ship fled to Sigma-13. Suggest this ship be dealt with extreme prejudice should it show up again in Rheinland.
As we were moving back to Planet New Berlin we picked up broken comms from a RepEx trading ship to what appeared to be a pirate. I requested through closed frequencies that RepEx gave me it's position, but as we made our final run to the Planet we picked up both the RepEx trader and a Bundschuh fighter named Dachshund. As we moved in I demanded to know what was happening. I asked RepEx if the other pilot was trying to pirate him. RepEx said, "Not yet!". I ordered Quentin to stick to the fighter's tail as I tried to assess the situation, but as soon as we moved to follow the fighter started shooting our military forces. We then opened fire and eventually downed the Bundschuh around The Ring.
After processing some more traders, we picked up two UOG ships in system. I ordered them to the Planet but they refused and moved to Dresden. Both me and Quentin moved to intercept, again having MP as defender of New Berlin in our absence. We found the UOG by the tradelanes, the ships were .:UOG:.A*Jaden and .:UOG:.A*CJD, both Raven's Talons IDed Molly. As we picked them up on our sensors I ordered that both stood down their vessels. As me and Quentin exited the tradelane both opened fire. We fought back and quickly managed to drop Jaden to one tenth his hull. He then entered evasive and neither me nor Quentin were succeeding in landing the final blow, as the ship's only preocupation was staying alive we moved to the next target. Victor Remond appeared to aid us and the ship CJD succumbed after some fight. We then moved back to Jaden, that was still orbiting the fight. He was a difficult target to hit, he wasn't fighting back, just avoiding our fire. Eventually he moved to the Omega-11 jumphole in his last attempt to flee. I then cut him short at the JH and as he couldn't make the jump, for a second he hesitated, that moment we finished him off.
