A Junker by the name of "Leon Stanley" contacted us over long-range comms, interested in a business deal. After arriving at Bruchsal, I tasked him with acquiring the software needed to complete our Contract with The Order. His efficiency remains in question, especially concerning his completely unarmed freighter.
Afterwards, I managed to locate several Corsair ships not far from the solar center of Sigma-13; they claimed to be waiting for a Freelance contact to bring them food rations in exchange for their cargo of Tungsten. While I was admittedly... willing to allow them to leave with the necessities of survival, their claim that the raids upon Rheinlandic space would continue regardless was unacceptable.
With the help of staggered reinforcement, we manged to destroy the entire convoy. After the transport was disabled by the Vorsitzende's Bomber, I withdrew to Frankfurt proper to summon the Arsenal; Sigma-13's Crow Nebula was wreaking havoc with our transmissions. The Arsenal managed to secure what remained of the Tungsten as a Maltese Gunboat attempted to "mop-up" our forces after the third Brotherhood Vessel was disabled. To my understanding, its effort was unsuccessful. The operation was ultimately successful; we managed to secure the Tungsten and secure the immediate area near Sigma-13's lane.
Aktivist McDowell and the Vorsitzende each had their respective Bombers disabled by The Brotherhood; I've already commissioned the Quartermasters to secure replacements as soon as possible.
