Guten Abend an das Oberkommando,

Today I have to report about unusual circumstances which have transpired in the Hudson system.

While on a routine patrol in Hamburg at 1440 I received a transmission from Ensign Alex Dallas of the Liberty Navy, as I assume acting upon orders by Admiral Tanner. He informed me of a transport of two Rheinland diplomats that was inbound to Hudson. There he requested to hand them over to Rheinland authorities. The two diplomats in question had been missing since an incident in the orbit of Manhatten the day before, Monday the 21st of February.

As the officer of the Liberty navy reported, they had boarded a MND heavy fighter of the type Disir. The fighter was intercepted by ships of the 46th Fleet. Upon questioning, the pilot of the fighter stated that he was on special assignment coming directly from the Rheinland Foreign Ministry. The Liberty Navy vessels were unable to verify these claims, as no official communique had reached the Liberty government about this transport at that time. They also maintained that MND vessels had never been used for diplomatic tasks, and that this would be a RM privilege. They therefore accused the unknown MND vessel as partaking in espionage. While I can only speculate as to how a transport (official or not) carrying accredited Rheinland diplomats managed to get itself shot at and disabled by Liberty law enforcement, the immediate situation presented to me had to be resolved. The two diplomats had been transported to the 46th Fleet's Salt Lake HQ where they spent the next 20 hours, before being offered transport to the Rheinland border the next day, Tuesday the 22nd.

Due to ongoing engagements between the Liberty Navy and remnants of the Liberty Insurgency faction in the sector, the Liberty junior officer requested an immediate handover a the nearest time of convenience and therefore reached out to the highest-ranking Rheinland officer in proximity. Due to the time-critical nature of the task at hand (The Admiralty could not be reached in time for a quick response), I took it upon myself to organize a transport and escort on the spot.

For this task I chartered an independent transport vessel owned and maneuvered by a Herr Slevin Kelevra, Rheinland citizen. His ship offered adequate defensive capabilities and was suitably equipped for transport of civil officials. I also made a general call for assistant for nearby fighter vessels of Rheinland forces. A MND vessel was able to comply with the request and joined the task force. All three vessels rendezvoused in orbit of Hamburg planet, from where we made our way to Hudson. We could not make it in time for the initially agreed upon 1530, but neither did our Liberty counterpart. Around 1545 Ensign Dallas finally entered the system in a wing of heavy fighters. We only had to wait a few minutes.

Right about when the transfer was set to occur, the operation was abruptly interrupted by the arrival of a Liberty Insurgent vessel, call-sign "Romeo-2". Ensign Dallas' wing man by the name of Maverick Hawkins quickly moved to intercept the threat to our transfer. As the Insuregency ship made a very close pass to our transport ship, I made the decision to issue a verbal warning to the fighter vessel. While the pilot of the vessel insisted that he was only there "to watch", he quickly made another close pass. A close barrage was shot in response as a final warning to the uninvited party. The Insurgent ship then disappeared off the radar for a few minutes. Had it not done so, the next pass would have been his last.

This was more than enough time to complete the transfer of our diplomatic staff. Liberty Navy and Rheinland ship parted ways to their respective systems. Shortly before our escort left Hudson systems, we could hear about the distant destruction of the Insurgent vessel by Liberty forces. The chartered civilian transport was ordered to offload the ambassador at Carrier Soltau. I awarded the owner 1,5 million credits in total as reward for his participation and also as compensation for the associated risks and diversion from his commercial schedule.

The immediate danger to our diplomats has been averted and they are now awaiting an official transport from Carrier Soltau. The question remains how they got themselves into this situation in the first place.

I do recommend an official inquiry into what caused the incident in Orbit of Manhatten. Whether there were mistakes made by the Foreign Ministry or the MND, the fighter pilot in charge of the transport, or whether this situation was caused by trigger-happy Liberty law enforcement or military vessels, I can not tell. A combination of several factors seems likely. The Liberty Navy officers encountered today at least, acted with professionalism and in good faith to prevent an escalation of the diplomatic incident.

Für Kaiser, Volk und Haus

Hochachtungsvoll,
