*** MESSAGE BEGINS ***
As I launched from New Berlin for my routine patrol I picked up comms from a ship apparently involved in pirating activities. I moved to the Sigma-13 jump hole to find a single Red Hessian fighter moving towards the planet. I cancelled the TL sequence and moved to intercept. A preliminary scan of the ship showed it was equipped with a torpedo launcher in a similar configuration to that used by the Workers Front pilots. With that in mind I assumed a more evasive approach to the fight, yet still I managed to issue severe damage to the ship's hull. A Bounty Hunter battlecruiser of the HUNTER group entered the area and offered assistance. I thanked and declined but it opened fire anyway. A local police officer entered the fight as well. Completely surronded and outnumbered, the Red Hessian ship was quickly destroyed.
As the trading vessels started entering the system again, I spotted garbled comms of what appeared to be a Lane Hacker tapping to the trade lanes. A known Unioner gunship also showed up on sensors and the traitor Jack Archer. Two Outcast ships and a Golden Chrysanthemum also entered the system at the same time. Completely outnumbered by hostiles, I issued a general alert instructing all civilian ships to dock until the threats were dealt with. I then stood ground around the planet decided to do my best to defend the civilian ships.
At this point Stabskapitanleutnant Krupinski and the Gunboat Feuer came in to assist. Apparently the Outcasts and Golden Chrysanthemum lost interest and left without making an appearance. The Stabskapitanleutnant went on a scout mission while I stayed back. He contacted me and ordered me to Kreuzberg, as all hostile ships were found there. I moved in to engage. The Feuer joined us too. We quickly disposed of Jack Archer's Virage VHF and moved on to the Unioner. The Lane Hacker didn't engage us. The Unioner, surrounded and outnumbered fled the area. Me and the Stabskapitanleutnant pursued the ship as far as the O-11 JH in Dresden. The Feuer stayed behind to deal with the Lane Hacker ship. Apparently it fled as well.
