After hearing of a potential battle in the dying Omega-11 system, I hopped on to the Hammersee on Freeport 11, and moved to Omega-11 to watch the battle. Needless to say, it did not go in the Hessen's favor. Their fleet was eliminated once more by the Rheinwehr, and I was forced to flee.
However, I did manage to evacuate all the prisoners and non-essential personnel off of Freital Base, a vital Hessen instillation in the system. They were swiftly brought to the nearby Leipzig Station in Dresden, where they can operate in relative safety. After that, I got onto the Rheinschatten fighter, a re-purposed LWB ship from Kaiserslautern, and scouted New Berlin for hostiles. I encountered two Unioner ships at Essen Station, who seemed to be playing games of mental gymnastics, claiming that we were puppets of the corporates.
Before I could explain to them their mistakes in thought, the captain of the Unioner cruiser told his comrade to fire on me, and I had to escape. I took an old smuggler's loop back to Kaiserslautern, and made it back to report on the situation. I do hope we can get more rekruts soon, otherwise we will have plenty of issues to deal with when we enter Unioner space.
