High Command,
While still aboard the Kreuzer RNC - Passau under orders from the Deutschland [15th Kreuzer Gruppe - Lead] a Kreuzer detachement of 5th Kreuzer Gruppe (reinforced) was mobilized and Hauptmann Helmut Kohl of the Passau designated priorieties to each fighter within the Gruppe, Reservists Light Drone and Schmutz were designated as the inner screen with Schmutz's fafnir free to engage capitol warships or transport if interdicted.
Standard impulse was ordered till the patrol cleared the cloud and the first point was designated 6D on the star chart, nothing was sighted and the patrol moved on 6B as its second point. Clearing the cloud the patrol went into Kreuze to cover the uninhabited dead space. Reaching point 6B the Scout Gruppe moved onto C3 where a report came in of an unknown ship within the Sigma-13 system, establishing a spread out screen the forward fighter screen flanked the registered Sigma-13 jump hole with the Passau and her own escorts covering the exit side of the hole in full view. Going to full alert the Gruppe maintained silence till a contact appeared, it registered to an Order agent with the designation 63rd|Razor was his callsign. The Passau informed him that he was within Rheinland peace keeping territory while a Gefreiter from one of the Wraith's called it Rheinland's newest territory. The Order agent sent an immediet message off to GMG reportedly declaring what he had heard and the GMG were not pleased and rather angry at the matter. The interaction with the Order vessel was cut short as a GC flagged vessel appeared, Cardimine in tow within its hold. With no orders pertaining to the GC vessel the cargo was siezed [As dictated by Law A of Rheinland Military Rules Paragraph 2 Subsection C] and it was released to continue on its way.
The continued interaction with the 63rd Member ended with a warning which sent him packing from the Kreuzer Passau as the patrol curved back to its original flight path toward the Kunashir Cloud and planet Kurile and the Forward Operating base of the RNC-Hannover.Reaching the end of the patrol an Osiris class warship entered the cloud towards the Theta JH, scrambling for intercept all fighters broke off, on order, and stopped the vessel in its tracks. Hauptmann Kohl opened a channel with the vessel tagged as Ezio and read him the memorandum as follows. "Corsair vessel you have entered Rheinland Peace Keeping Territory and by order of the Kanzler you are to be destroyed." The fighters immedietly broke off into the attack with the Passau inching forward to begin long range bombardment of the Osiris warship.
As it entered range the first call from the fighters asking for fire support were established and the main guns of the Passau opened fire with the hatred of the House of Rheinland at its back. The first round reportedly hit amid ship and the Passau continued to fire, consistent hit after hit was established by the gunnery officer on deck.
As the vessels whittled down the Osiris a second Corsair appeared from Theta, a lone snub crap and proceeded to hound our only bomber.
Unable to shake him our only casualty was occured with the loss of the bomber before the Osiris reached the Theta Jumphole and leaped out of system with the Sails member conducting a fighting retreat.
Unwilling to give chase Rheinland reclaimed the system's Kunashir cloud and the patrol was finished. Just as the enemy cleared the system the brother ship of the Passau arrivedd, the RNC - Nassau. With the Kunashir cloud reinforced Kurile is once again secure.
