We set off as usual from Vogtland and received word from returning scouts that a heavy military presence was in New Berlin. We moved into the system and found the RMS.Admiral Graf Spee patrolling near Planet New Berlin. After a short exchange of pleasantries with the Commander of the Cruiser, our ships exchanged volleys. The Cruiser was downed quickly without major damage or casualties.
We also detected a Corsair gunboat nearby and destroyed it as well.
After the fight we received word of an independent Corsair Cruiser was in the area of the New Berlin JH in Sig 13. We moved to intercept and destroyed that Cruiser as well. I did not have a chance to record her name before her reactor failed. We took some damage during the fight but the crew held her together. We did not have a chance to reload on regens before the fight. We docked for a few quick repairs at Yanagi and Moved back to New Berlin. We then encountered the RMS Gunboat Emden and chased it to Frankfurt and back. It finally escaped by docking on the ring. Fire was pouring from its engines.
I came across a few traders durring my patrol and am sure we now have a few new customers for the diamond trade. A little good will goes a long way.
We are back on Vogtland now conducting repairs and giving the crew some much needed rest. Crews at the dock give 24 hours before the old girl is back to combat ready. Prisoners are being transfered to the transport Badshiplollypop to be brought to our mines.
