Message Trace: Freistadt, Omega 7

I am proud to report another highly successful force-recon mission, this time into the heart of Rheinland. Two flight elements of Coalition Taiidans made their way into Rheinland via Omega 7 after a short rendezvous at Freistadt. Those involved were

Captain Adrian "Ares" Jovem
Lieutenant Commander Yuri Striatov
Lieutenant Commander Miroslav Baranov
Lieutenant Alexi Karchov

We first headed to Stuttgart and were happy to pass through onto Dresden, but a Rheinland Federal Policeman by the name of Hans_Hagenschutz decided to open his mouth. The flight group converged on the RFP officer at Planet Stuttgart, where he was briefly joined by a Bounty Hunter Orca Gunboat named Plamen_V. The Gunboat was quickly subdued by multiple SuperNova hits and a planetary atmosphere, and the RFP officer quickly followed. One Phantom against four Taiidans didn't last too long, and although we saluted his bravery, we were saddened by this man's apparent brainwashing by the Rheinland authorities.

After this we proceeded to Dresden, and then quickly through the New Berlin jumphole. The flight group converged on Brandenburg and were engaged by multiple police and corporate rookies(NPC). After some time, the Military got wind of our presence and sent a cruiser battlegroup(NPC), which was quickly dispatched by the flightgroup. After a time, a Rheinland Cruiser named Admiral_Bronson appeared and engaged. A flurry of SuperNovas, MiniRazors, and quick flying put down the interloper.

At this point, Captain Ares called upon a full-scale assault on Brandenburg Border Station to gauge the enemy response. A call to take out the station turrets was answered by the flight group, and bombardment commenced. The assault did flush out a lone trader in a FireFly class transport, but the name was missed by my combat recorder. The fool opened fire on the Coalition fighters, and the flight group was given permission to engage. The target was quickly eliminated.

The response wasn't quite what was expected. After calling a halt on the Brandenburg assault, a single Rheinland Military Wraith was sent to investigate. One Adolph_Gallund of the Rheinland Military engaged the flight group, and after a rather long fight, was finally put down. Rheinland pilots have no shortage of bravery, but no shortage of false belief in their invulnerability either.

Captain Ares called a halt to the mission at this point, and the flight group, with very little damage and no casualties, turned back for the long trip to Freistadt. Passing into Dresden, a Darkwing Gunship ambushed the rear guard ship of Baranov. I was the closest, and turned around with the rest of the flight group hot on my tail and engaged DW-Crunch. The BHG Gunship was no match for the coordinated attack of the Coalition Army. During the fight, another Darkwing ship was spotted and the flight group turned to engage. DW-Max, in a BHG Bomber, tried to outwit the flightgroup by flying a round-about route toward the O15 jumphole, but as Miroslav and Yuri followed the bomber, Captain Ares and I short-cutted to the jumphole, and in a classic pincer maneuver, converged and destroyed the hapless bomber.

The Darkwing Flagship <DarkWing>BS1 was spotted on long-range sensors in O15, and it was decided that it had to go. the flightgroup jumped to O15, and was quickly engaged by the battleship. After a protracted battle, in which my Natalia took pretty heavy damage, the ship was finally destroyed. It was here that the flightgroup made its way peacefully through Corsair territory back to Freistadt where repairs and repast was had.

Synopsis: Very little coordinated military response in Rheinland to an assault. Planet is well defended with many Battleship patrols, but not many in other places. The Coalition racked up a very nice kill total, with many capitals and fighters while taking absolutely no losses, and little damage to ships as a whole. An overall highly successful raid. Attached is a brief rundown of eliminated targets.



Drinks on me as I've gotten a new deposit from certain friends of the Coalition. Thanks Jayson.
