Geschätzte Kameraden, sehr geehrte vorgesetzten.
I have two important things to report. They are connected. First, I intercepted a Liberty Navy ship in New Berlin. It was a Bison-class transport ship from the 46th to be exact "Navy-46th|MM-LNT-Courage" right off the planet New Berlin, so the Liberty Navy broke our laws. Here are the relevant paragraphs. And violations (Excerpt from the Rheinland Code)

I asked the transport if he had a special license. He denied it and said that he was allowed into any system and wanted to bring these firearms to Fort Augsburg. Here is the data from my ship's records
At this point I began to search the ship. However, RHA scum then appeared and attempted an underhanded assassination attempt on me while I was working the case of the Liberty transport. Fortunately I was able to react quickly enough to take up the fight, but at the time I was flying a machine that would be used for future training. So the ship is neither well armed nor particularly fast or maneuverable. As the RHA pilot was faster than me and more maneuverable, I was just able to save myself in the hangar of Bonn station.
(Here is the data from my ship's records)
I heard over the radio that the RHA pilot then quickly took off before reinforcements arrived. however, the Liberty ship took advantage of this and fled in the direction of Frankfurt. Where it was stopped again by Kamerad [RM]Lt.Jurgen,Schmidt who destroyed the goods and escorted the Liberty cargo back to Liberty.
