Gentlemen, our victory at Cadiz today was a glorious one. Not only did we help our Coalition friends fend off an invasion of their space, we pushed the Corsair barbarians back to their own base and struck the final blow. I myself flew the venerable bomber Wuerger during the attack, leading by example against the nigh limitless enemy ranks.

All in all we faced close to twice our numbers in strike craft, as well as several gunboats - and the flagship of the dreaded Brotherhood - the Artemis. The Corsairs were feeling lucky, and attacked Omega-52 itself. I led the Hessians into the Coalition guard system to help them repel the invaders, and after crippling the Artemis it was forced to flee to Omega-5 while we dealt with the rest of the barbarians. It was only a matter of time, even despite the couple casualties that we incurred, and the Corsair threat was eliminated. We moved to Omega-5 immediately to intercept the rest of the Corsair attack massing at Cadiz. To our amazement, there we found the Corsairs locked in battle with the Bretonian Armed Forces, no doubt some sort of act of retribution or pre-emptive strike. We locked onto all the enemies and began exterminating them one by one. To our pleasure, it appeared that the crippled Artemis was still in the system, delayed by this Bretonian strike. Our swift bombers quickly cornered it and finished it off before it could escape further into Corsair territory.


As the final Corsair defenders were obliterated, we moved towards Cadiz assisted by Coalition fighters, and bombed the base in retaliation for their insulting belief that they could ever dent our forces. Attached below is an image from the nose camera of my bomber, as it shows a wingman in my squadron launching it's payload towards the hated Cadiz base:

Cadiz burning and our forces victorious, we returned to Dresden to celebrate our victory. The Coalition commodore contacted me personally to offer us a Coalition distinction for our services. The Omega Front Badge has been awarded to all of us participating, and I will personally ensure that those of you who did participate recieve the honours. Another Nomad weapon was also captured for study from the villainous Corsairs. It will be put to good use.

Some time later we launched another patrol consisting of myself and Herr Schnitt piloting the bomber Stuka. We moved through New Berlin, effectively ignoring Rheinland Military forces as per standing orders, until reaching the Sigma-13 jump hole, where - as usual - Corsairs have taken nest. These Corsairs quickly escaped back to Yanagi and continued to exploit the hospitality of the Junkers to avoid destruction. We played along... until they summoned their reinforcements. They then dared enter New Berlin and incapacitated our gunboat, the Leopard, using no less than three of theirs. It seems it takes three to destroy one of us. After this destruction, they escaped back to Sigma-13. We quickly mustered a backup force, and entered through the jump hole intent on destroying their force. Our bomber squadron did short work of them there.


We returned to Rheinland victorious, knowing that today Rheinlanders stand together against the common enemies of our homeland. No Hessian opened fire on any Military personnel today, nor did they attack us. Today we worked in unison, and this is but the first occasion of many. Be proud, Hessians!

Several of our recruits have proven themselves very worthy during the last few weeks. Therefore, a couple of promotions seem to be in order:

• Rekrut Florian Waap to Leutnant
  
• Rekrut Lukas Eisenhauer to Leutnant
  

Stand tall, brothers.
