Guten Abend Officers,

i received a distress signal from Frau Caitlyn Cross, Orbital Spa and Cruise, while off duty on my personal comms line two days ago. She informed me about her ships being under attack by a Unioner gunboat in Bering.
Immediately relaying the information to the Rheinwehr Leitstelle on Planet New Berlin, i joined up with Kapitänleutnant Kertz and the rest of Sprotte's crew. Departing for Bering.
Lock, that is the name of the Bounty Hunter combat AI mentioned in previous reports several times, accompanied us.

We encountered nothing in Bering, up until we almost reached the Texas jump gate. Faint readings of the Leipzig, too far to accurately pinpoint. We scoured the area, Lock managed to get a few more readings. According to him, the Unioner gunboat was too far from any jump holes but still vanished from our scanners. Kommandant Kertz initially ordered us to remain on site, but as i received and relayed new message from Frau Cross, we adjusted. Following them to Hudson, to ensure nothing followed them in turn. Locke, having more nav-data about Bering, knew of a jump hole we could take.

We crossed Hudson without much incidents, keeping our distance to an enemy station. OSC reported no new encounters with hostile elements, therefore we managed to rendezvous with them near Planet New Berlin. One of their vessels, the Reverie, remained moored and had to sort out documents of its passengers. The Red Velvet Club continued, now escorted by Lock and us, to Sigma-15. Delivering their passengers and goods to Freeport 8, where Sommer Urlauber were to be picked up for transit back to Planet New Berlin.
We parted ways at the Sigma-13 jump gate in Frankfurt, after the Red Velvet Club picked up her last passengers on Planet New Berlin and explained her further course to us.
All tours were free of any incidents while escorting OSC.

On our way back to Planet New Berlin, i received a transmission from the RNC-Ostkantone. Inquiring about our patrol. I relayed that to Kommandant Kertz, up until we encountered the Donau cruiser near Mannheim Station.We decided to sweep Bering for a potentially hidden base, unknown jump holes or jamming devices. With a Donau lending us her strength, a longer operation was deemed in order by my commanding officer.
As we reached New Berlin, two Freelancers were stopped for routine cargo scan. They jumped to Frankfurt instead. We followed, while the Ostkantone and Lock made sure both ships don't run again the Sprotte blocked the nearby trade lane. Scans found six criminal pilots in one of their cargo holds.
We escorted them to Battleship Schwerin, were they followed suit and handed over their captured pilots.
They were lectured, informed about potential consequences, if repeated behaviour was noticed, and then let go.

Regrouping on the Ostkantone, we then headed for Bering. Our way through the fatherland was free of any further incidents.
Having visited the last known location where we picked up Leipzig's signal, but finding nothing, Lock suggested we move to where his systems picked up Leipzig's last known long range signal. Somewhere near the Hudson jump hole. Interference there made further investigation difficult, but combined efforts led to results. We encountered a massive structure and fitting power readings - indeed a hidden base. Apparently even mobile to an extent. Their defenses opened fire, fighters were scrambled and we managed to take out some. Tactical withdrawal was in order, so bigger asteroids served as cover during that.
The exact location has, unfortunately, not been documented properly. Interference from anomalies and sustained damage combined rendered the data partially corrupt.
