SUBMITTER:Fähnrich Adrian Wiesen RECIPIENT:Rheinwehr Secured Comm-Link SUBJECT:Patrol Report [21]
During a routine patrol of the New Berlin system we received reports of Gefreiter Beist encountering three Corsair vessels on the lane from Dortmund station to Battleship Strausberg, including a bomber, a gunboat and a cruiser, about to engage in piracy against a Bowex transport vessel.
Moving in to investigate, we encountered said vessels not far from Bonn. At this point, we engaged the Corsairs, with Gefreiter Beist pursuing the gunboat, and me taking out the bomber, and later with the help of Gefreiter Fuchs intercepting and destroying the fleeing cruiser which had made its way to Stuttgart before we managed to cut it off and take it down.
It's noteworthy that, quoting the Bowex captain directly, "Crew [of the Bowex vessel] had not had so much fun watching a fight in a long time" and that destroying those vessels with such pace and ease was "a fine display of Rheinland might". Transport vessel, despite being poorly armored and equipped, was saved from the hostile vessels with its hull intact and cargo and personnel unharmed, and headed back to Bretonia after both systems of New Berlin and Stuttgart were cleared.
Relevant guncams can be found in attachments as usual.
