Greetings Rheinland Command. This is Captain Torin Marshall of the Freelancer Gunboat vessel Vindicator. This is my first of two days on duty in Rheinland space as per agreement with the prior agreement with our mutual employer to purchase Rheinland weaponry for light fighter craft ID Fox Fire. I am not regular Rheinland so I could not leave this report in the Rheinland message dump and it will become clear, if not already, that this is not a bounty cash in but rather a report of my activities in Rheinland space.

I choose to hover around the planet of New Berlin which seemed to pay off. After hours of scanning and monitoring transmissions, by the way New Berlin has a lot more traffic through it then I once thought. As I was saying, I scanned and documented every transport that flew through that part of New Berlin, from time to time leaving my position to scout/patrol various other regions of Rheinland controlled space.

Upon returning to New Berlin I over heard an OMS transport evading fire from a Unioner attack. I took the trade lane to New Berlin and was cut short by the Union fighter disruption of the trade lane. I wasted no time, gave my respects, and sent him on his one way trip to eternity.

Unfortunately, My actions violates Rheinland bounty hunting regulation 1A

1a. Only the Bounty Hunter Gunship of the gunboat class may hunt fighter or bomber class ships. Other gunboats may hunt only gunboat class and above (Transports included).

This is why I am not eligible to receive a bounty and why this is just a mission report. I was however able to retrieve a captured military pilot, hand him over to a local medical port and he is recovering.

No other military activity but just one correction or education on my part. I perused a Bowex transport and was able to scan that it was carrying Military vehicles. I took no offensive action other that bantering over the comm. system why he didn'€™t tell me if he was cleared to transport that type of cargo until I pretty much got in his way.

If he'€™s cleared then I won'€™t trouble him any longer.
I hope all is in order for my first day of patrol and look forward to my second and final day.
Good night to you.
