New Berlin:
While enroute to Kreuzberg Depot I encountered 'Cologne_mk-2', an MND Oder-class gunboat arriving from the Stuttgart jump gate, a scan revealed that the vessel was only moderately protected with class-III heavy armour. The vessel gave pursuit and followed me into the Ruhr asteroid field where I decided to take my chances and broke cruise to face the targetᚠ. While time consuming, I was able to evade most incoming fire and deal heavy damage to the ship with the ASURAS cannon and scatter guns on my bomber, eventually draining roughly fifty percent of the target's supply of repair-bots.
At this point the Jormungand 'Ymir' arrived to offer support. The battleship was able to do a significant amount of damage to the gunboat with its initial salvo but couldn't keep up with the lighter vessel for long and I was eventually able put the dog downᚢ.
While I rearmed at Kreuzberg RHB-Ymir moved out of the field to avoid further obstruction from the asteroids and encountered two Rheinland Military bombers close to the jump gate. Shortly after we opened fire on the bombers reinforcements began to arrive. We gained the support of two more snubs from the Armee, and the military forces were bolstered by two Elbe-class carriers, a Tirpitz battlecruiser and a Donau cruiser. Sadly the Ymir was overwhelmed and knocked out of action early into the engagement, but we were able to take out the enemy bombers and wait for reinforcements to arriveᚦᚨ.
As our own capital ships arrived on the scene we cleaned up the remaining military vessels with ease.
