Today, cruiser KKS-Leipzig completed the shakedown cruise from The Ring to the Frankfurt System, and ending in the Hamburg System. The goal of the cruise is to test the ship's and crew performance.
Overall, KKS-Leipzig and her crew have performed within expected parameters. During the cruise, we intercepted several Bundschuh fighters at the outskirt of Westerwald cloud, which are swiftly neutralized. Engagement data have been collected and being analyzed to fine-tune the ship's targeting systems. Several Bundschuh pilots have ejected and were captured for interrogation.
Near the end of the cruise, we intercepted a trade convoy at the high orbit of planet Hamburg. The cargo ship was identified as a CTE CT-73 Stork class Civilian Train but we were unable to identify the affiliation. The ship failed to respond to our hail and demand for inspection at long range, therefore a single disruptor missile was fired to intercept.
Communication was successfully established at short range. The cargo ship was identified as a Deep Space Engineering cargo vessel. Cargo hold was inspected to be carrying Helium-3, en route to the Ile-de-France system. Documents and cargo manifests were inspected and verified.
There are no infractions identified, but the automatic transponder was identified to be faulty onboard the vessel. We instructed the cargo ship to have their transponder fixed at a nearby facility.
