A great day for our Hessian cause. On my patrol of New Berlin I was shadowing a hunting party consisting of Victor Redmond *spits* in his Gunboat and a RM bomber piloted by Fredrich Pippart. We lost them near the sig 13 jump and moved down the field to try and reestablish contact.
As we scouted Brandenburg Station we were ambushed by the RNC Falkenstein! We locked on and let loose into the RNC till his ship buckled and reactor disabled itself. As its crew were abandoning their bleeding cruiser, Redmond *spits*and Pippart attacked what they thought was a crippled Varyag. Ha! We locked and opened up on the foul gunboat and Redmond was destroyed spewing filth from his coms as usual. That victory alone was worth the light hull damage we received. Pippart was taken down shortly after. It was our plan to let the bomber flee but my gunners bloodlust was too much to get the order to ceasefire in time.
It is rumored that the famous Hans Krieger was commanding the Falkenstein, my crew could not confirm this. Despite his fanatical loyalty to the Chancellor , he fought with honor and I almost hope he survived the vacuum my gunners sent him to.
On a better note, we have convinced yet a new trader to drop Drauman and move our diamonds from Vogtland. For his safty he has been instructed to talk to you about it if he comes across one of our patrols. I would hate to see what the RM would do to him and his family if they found out who he is moving diamonds for.
We are currently moored to Stralsund for repairs but should be back up soon.
