COMM ID:Lieutenant Alan Polstari TARGET ID:Primary Fleet Command HQ SUBJECT:Rheinland Vessels ENCRYPTION:High PRIORITY:Medium
Greetings, sirs.
These past few days have seen an increase in the presence of vessels built in Rheinland that are illegal here in Liberty space. Here is a brief summary of the vessels I've run across.
First off was a Rheinland "Behemoth" class vessel tagged as Foxman operating with no known IFF or affiliation. Additionally, it looks as if he had high-jacked a cargo hold full of Ageira Military Vehicles. The vessel attempted to flee, including a crash docking attempt on the Missouri, and then going so far as to fly above Zone 21 before running to Texas. I managed keep up and catch him on the other side of the Texas Gate, where I denied him Trade Lane access while I pounded him with EMP and Nova fire. The results speak for themselves.
Right after that incident I received a call about another Rheinland heavy transport, a "Colossus", with the tag of Koksnuss near West Point. Heading there I found the vessel to be operating under a Republican Shipping affiliation, and that its captain was looking to sell Furs and Holo-Sculptures on Erie. I'm not sure how its captain missed the memo about the war, but we forced the vessel to dump cargo and I ordered it leave via Texas. I assigned the Assault Cruiser LNS-Macross and the fighter LN-Persuit-23 to escort it out. Unfortunately for the Koksnuss, they tried to run for the California Jump Hole, and the Macross was forced to take it out.
The next day while in patrol in New York I ran across a Rheinland Military scout, a Frank.Neumann, in a "Phantom" Light Fighter. I requested that he surrender, and after some banter, was forced to engage and terminate the target.
I would like to note that I was able to retrieve the following items from the wreckage, and that they have been handed over via Commander Clark to R&D. I hope that our boys can put them to good use in figuring out a few upgrades for our own systems.

I also ran across another Rheinland heavy transport that day operating under the tag of Vredes[Rote.Wachsam]. The vessel was operating under an IMG transponder code. Unfortunately my guncam wasn't stable at the time, as it took a blow while fighting against Mr. Neumann, but I have the comm records with Mr. Vredes(his vessel is named "Rote.Wachsam") below.

[25.05.2012 21:33:24] [LN]-LNF-Paradise: Perhaps a Mastodon clas vessel? [25.05.2012 21:34:00] Vredes[Rote.Wachsam]: I dont think that I have the funds herr officer, as i said the ship is a present from my brother.
[25.05.2012 21:34:07] Vredes[Rote.Wachsam]: He also works for the IMG.
I let the vessel dock in New York pending a funds transfer. I am hoping that the next time Mr. Vredes is seen that he, with help from his brother, will have obtained a vessel that is legal here in Liberty, as he is apparently a persona non grata in Rheinland.
Incidently, with respect to Lt. Lewis' notes, I did run across the vessel #occam while on that same patrol. The vessel appears to be of a capital class. Its Core also appears to be beligerent, probably inflated by its vessel's size, as attested to by the following comms.
Comms:
Quote:[25.05.2012 21:46:30] [LN]-LNF-Paradise: Vessel #occam, stand by. [25.05.2012 21:46:46] #occam: :: Do not bother me::

[25.05.2012 21:47:41] Death: BHG|Core-Battleshark was killed by an NPC

[25.05.2012 21:51:50] Death: Loyalist|RNS-"Spagna" was killed by Battleship.Melinda (Gun) [25.05.2012 21:51:52] #occam: ::And i have more firepower::
[25.05.2012 21:51:53] [LN]-LNF-Paradise: Which is sufficient for this cause.

[25.05.2012 21:53:15] Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
[25.05.2012 21:53:16] Death: Battleship.Melinda was killed by an NPC [25.05.2012 21:53:26] #occam: ::Leave me or take the consequences::
[25.05.2012 21:53:45] [LN]-LNF-Paradise: Polstari: I will not be threatened within the borders of the House of Liberty.
[25.05.2012 21:54:04] [LN]-LNF-Paradise: You will obey a lawful order to depart.
[25.05.2012 21:54:11] Death: [LNS]-Ishimura was killed by BDM|RNC-Brynhildr (Gun)
[25.05.2012 21:54:16] 2012-05-25 21:54:19 SMT : #occam is attempting to engage cloaking device
Needless to say, that while its statements were true(I doubt the Paradise could have scratched the #occam's hull before we were vaporized), the Core's behavior and statements show a complete disregard for the Laws of Liberty. I would advise caution, and perhaps disciplinary action, if the vessel passes through here again with such an attitude.
