Greetings comrades. After days of preparing my ship, I have retired to Vogtland Base to begin my first report. Let me start by saying, it's a great honor to be accepted as a recruit into your worthy cause. Although, it seems as if the RHA Guard did not receive the memo. After the patrol graciously greeted me in Dresden, I headed straight to Northeim Base in Omega-54 to purchase the appropriate equipment for my ship. Upon my arrival, I was fired upon at sight. They then demanded to see my RHA ID, which the time, I have not yet received. So I had no choice but to leave, and find my equipment elsewhere until I could prove who I said I was. After many trips through the many Omega systems, I had finally purchased all the correct equipment I needed, including my proper Identification. Next on my list, was to get into the good graces of my fellow Red Hessians. I took the liberty to do a few favors for the locals here I met at the bar. After the deaths of many Bounty Hunter, and Corsair pilots, I was eventually well known in the community. Included in this report, is a file containing proof of my completed ship, identification, and reputation with my fellow comrades. Tomorrow I will head out on my first patrol route. I am eager to do my part in this great revolution. For the Fatherland.
