Several days ago I, and several other VWA Pilots, including Oberst Annika Haupt engaged in a patrol in the Sigma-13 system. Initially, the patrol was uneventful, until we encountered a Hogosha pilot. His behavior and entirely attitude was rude and confrontational, however, any violent actions from his side, or ours, were postponed by the arrival of several pilots of the National Council. Unwilling to risk lives in a severely outgunned engagement, our patrol attempted to return to Frankfurt, and friendlier skies. However, our engines were disrupted by the NC forces. After another brief exchange, we were drawn into a combat. Roughly fifteen minutes into the engagement, GMG forces arrived to assist us against the hostiles, however the ships of Kommandant Fuchs and Oberst Haupt were severely damaged, however I was able to retrieve their escape pods. All NC Forces were destroyed by VWA and GMG pilots with regrettably no survivors on their side. My own Cutlass was damaged severely in the fight, though was still serviceable, and the GMG invited my to Helgoland for emergency repairs. Soon after the hull was patched, and the reactor leakage plugged, I was on my way to Frankfurt again. Both pilots were returned safely to Bruchsal, and my ship was put in for extended repairs.
