Kameraden,

On my patrol in the Frankfurt system yesterday, I was spotted by a Rheinland Military Roc-class bomber near Mainz storage facility. As that area is particularly patrolled by royal enforcement entities, I was hesitant at first and engaged my Cloaking Device. I lured him further away from Battleship Schwerin and her patrol's waypoints. Briefly afterwards, I detected a Hessian captive aboard his vessel. Thus, I immediately demanded the Pilot and, in an effort not to risk his life, attempted to convince the officer to desert his post and turn himself over.

However, he did not heed my honest warnings and proceeded to justify the Military's "need" for authoritarian measures by pinning the blame on "Pirates", in short every organization deemed "unlawful" in Rheinland. Interestingly, an IMG transport entered scanner range, meaning there is a witness to the true face of the Military, who started off the combat, like the government always does.

By initiating hostilities my words had been proven truthful and although the IMG vessel noted himself, he is too afraid to ever address this act of oppression, it once again reaffirms our worst belief: That all Rheinland citizens get intimidated on a daily basis. They remain silent out of fear. But in the end, the IMG pilot and so many others will not have trust in the Military, should it come down to it.

After overpowering the bomber and disabling several systems critical for combat operations, I once again offered him to turn himself over. After all, the Hessian pilot's escape pod might already be damaged due to prior combat. But, in true Military fashion, the officer fabricated himself several reasons of why the possibility of desertion remained outside his reach. The worst of him took over, and in a desperate attempt to play the hero, he re-opened up on me and shouted "Für Rheinland!". Or so I thought. Instead of luring me away from the civilian Trade Lanes, he made a run for them. I disabled the nearest one to Mannheim before he was able to enter it. He continued to the next Trade Lane Rings to Mannheim Station, sprinkling his way with mines. After his shields failed him, I unintentionally hit one of the mines he dropped, while his already falling apart hull was exposed. And while the Hessian pilot's life was on knife's edge at that moment, his escape pod persisted. I recovered the Hessian and some of the Roc-class bomber's remains.

The Pilot has been released on Darmstadt Depot, and will be transported to Vogtland the coming days. The Military pilot's fate is unknown, the escape pod has not launched. Though, he might have sealed himself into the wreck. Oxygen on the Hessian's escape pod was running low, so I made no recovery attempt. On the whole, the patrol has been a success and the pilot revealed to me that the Military's intentions are not sincere. Announcing to play the hero, while shouting "Für Rheinland!", while luring the "evil" LWB to the Trade Lane Rings shows that, at the very least, the Military itself, does not believe its own lies. And while the Military perverted the idea of actions "For Rheinland", I can proclaim that I have disabled royal puppet's vessel AND secured a patriotic Hessian,...for Rheinland.

In steter Treue,
Vorsitz Gerhard Richter
