Passing through New Berlin, we found a transport heading from the central system to Hamburg. Upon a scan we discovered the freelancer was hauling Alien Artifacts. Upon attempting to restrain the ship, he docked at Planet Hamburg, apparently hacking into the mooring systems to do so. We waited for him to depart, informing him of the severity of his crimes but he still managed to launch and land once again, planet side, this time for good.
I gave the MkII a test run through Stuttgart and ran into a transport who wasn't registered like they should, smuggling light arms though your back yard, like they shouldn't. I was able to mine his shields down while the Police Police saw fit to send him on his way to pain. Chalk one up for the Hudson man. 2/10

I was on my way back from my home and killing to damn Independent Liberty Rouges in my home to find the bloody LWB AGS what ever, bastards jumping a RepEx trade ships in the name of their damn freedom march. I just hand no bloody time for protocol. I gave my hellos and communicated my intentions quite damn clear. I ordered the gunship to come under some fire power and it got the message real quickly. That LWB bomber took no time to help his friend. A few rounds of turns and I ordered to take out that Bomber. He and his way to freedom went up as his SNAC generator overloaded on account of taking a direct hit from our guns.
Then I turned to face that damn bloody LWB Gunship. Annoying little bastard. I made sure they got a taste of their own medicine. They didn't like it much at all.

I was restless this morning and woke up the crew for an early patrol. I ran into a Hessian gunship ..-Hellscream-.. loitering between the IMG base and the Omega 3 gate. The transports were piling up and I was running out of options. I saw Abraham and Comte.de.Saint.Germain flying by and with Abraham's Pirate ID I could only presume they were going to assist the hessian. However, at that time they made no move to engage so I went back to search for that Hessian gunship. For some reason, the Hessian abandoned his position and headed more toward the Stuttgart gate. His mistake. I headed right towards him, locked on and opened fire. It wasn't a long battle and he soon became a ball of 'freedom fighting' fire.
Returning to the IMG base I ran into Abraham and Comte.de.Saint.Germain again. This time they seemed to have a very different aittude towards me. Abraham communicated his, disappointment that I killed a Hessian. I wasn't going to wait for them to spell it out for me. We went back to battle stations and they didn't like that fact I was tearing them a new one and ran for Omega 3 at 13:10:40 SMT. No points for these two but they got the message. Consider Abraham and Comte.de.Saint.Germain allies to the Hessians and hostile to Rheinland companies and lawfuls.
At 13:17:22 SMT I ran into {SEKTA}Dadakisin a Hessian Loki. I was in no mood to have those bomber pair AND this Hessian out flank me. I commanded the gunners to fire when in range and take them out. Strike three, they're out.

We heard a general alarm generated from the New Berlin system and launched. Making contact with the two military patrols, they weren't responding, in fact there was a distorted vocal sound over the communications frequencies as we neared the Gate. Sounding battlestations I make a call to jump into the system ready for anything. We flew over a Corsair fighter thinking that was the issue when we ran into a fire fight with the two military units engaging a civilian bomber with an odd IFF and some, thing. Out scans registered it as one organic substance with barely discernable components. One thing was sure, they needed help and those things needed to go.
We were ordered to engage the gunboat but I know from a Bomber Gunboat pair, you need to engage the Bomber first. I hope the chaps didn't mind me disobeying their command. After all it paid off. With that bomber out of the way we started reading impacts all over the ship. Blake's blood what the hell was that thing? Our shields weren't holding up like they should and we needed some maneuver room. I commanded the thrusters on full and we took aggressive evasive maneuvers. The gun crews had no trouble leading their target as the bloody thing was massive but it moved like a mining ship! I'll say, those Military pair bugged that thing long enough for the generators to charge the gun capacitors for us to open up a full barrage on the monster.
Our guns weren't damaging it so much as it was hurting it. That communications static became a screech and the bloody abomination went up on a plume of fire. The Vindicator took some heavy damage but we survived to fight another day. I have a bad feeling we'll see more of those monsters soon.

I was a bit restless from that skirmish with the Wilde thing last night so I pulled the crew together and we went out to the Omegas to see if we could run into an issue that needed solving. Sure enough we wound up hearing a Bowex transport in some dispute with a few Corsiars about arrangements to live or die. The bloody Corsairs had already surrounded the transport and they had given a warning that if I or the other two'¦that reminds me, there was a Copper 21 and Silver out there. Copper 21 said he was part of some Kruger Raider party. I have no clue that Kruger had raiders. Now I've heard the vigilante thing but there they were. Anyway, there was no way I could pull off attacking the bombers before they had time to hit the Bowex transport with everything they had. I ordered the Vindicator to pull a 180 back to the IMG base, but we didn't land. We took a course up 16k above the standard plane and headed over the Corsair raiding party then back down towards the Kruger base. I don't think those raiders had any intention to protect the Bowex transport, but their attack got the attention of two of the bombers, leaving the one to finish the transport. I communicated the Bowex transport to head to me as we provided cover fire. The Bomber pulled off seeing that our Gunboat was heading straight for them giving room between the transport and them. The moment the Bowex transport hit 4k I told them to get the bloody hell out of there. Apparently, they had the same thing in mind.
Clear of the battle I ordered the Vindicator right into the mix of all the fighting. Those three bombers would either focus on me or be too concerned with the raiders to see me as a threat. Both were a mistake. Unfortunately, Copper-21 took a SNAC shot to the engine and was destroyed. Those Corsairs we're having a hay day with that one as they turned to focus on me for a while. One of them didn't learn and he never made it back home. With it down to one Corsair and Silver-21 and myself, I pulled off to asses the situation and get ready for what I thought would be more corsairs. The remaining corsair panicked and opened a system wide broadcast, 'Yes.' I had thought to engage him and when I did, I noticed he wasn't engaging as much as before. The damaged raider saw it first then I got a glimpse of a Corsair Gunboat, bearing down on us and headed off. I had fought a Corsair Gunboat before and they were no joke. Even a fully armored Rheinland Gunboat has issues taking those blood things down. The Corsair bomber said we could leave or be destroyed. Funny how that works. I looked at the crew and they smiled. It was all or nothing. We engaged and pulsed the Corsair Gunboat's shields down before it had a chance to face us. I don't think it was expecting us to actual attack it even though we said it. The Raider seeing us haull the Gunboat away from the bomber, turned back and fired on the pirate.
We pulled every trick in the book to avoid the full spread of primaries that Corsair boat was tossing at us. In the end, slightly less for wear, we took the thing out! That Corsair bomber ran to Omega 5 and we presued and finally it ran deeper into the Omegas. Without knowing what would happen, we choose to quit while we were ahead and return. I slept rather well that night.

I did a standard 5 point patrol of Omega 7 and I wasn't even to the Kruger mining fields when I ran into a Corsair gunboat. After a quick scan I asked him what he was doing here and he was pretty blunt with me, telling me he was pirating. Being that was his final answer, I ordered to open fire just as he was already firing on me. Two of his friends showed up but weren't in any mood to engage the situation. As they decided, I ended the Gunboat and awaited any patrols to show up. Landing, I made this report and hoped for the best.

After a boring 5-point patrol of Omega 7 I ventured into Omega 3 to find two AGS bombers AGS-L|Eva.Morgenrot and AGS-L|Esslingen-87 along with a Border Worlds transport AGS-U|Spook who seemed to be ferrying cargo away from their 'ventures' at the Omega 3 gate. I thought I'd be generous and give them a fair warning not to enter Omega 7. Apparently I may as well told them to stay off the grass because they seemed to ignore me. With the third AGS that headed into omega 3 moments before I wasn't about to get attacked by three at a bloody time. I warned them, they came into Omega 7 and I opened fire. In a few moments one of the ships were ashes. About three minutes later the AGS-L|Paul,Richter entered into Omega 7 and seemed to want to talk. I was in no mood.
Seeing how his two friends went down in a hurry, [i]AGS-L|Esslingen-87 evaded the fight and headed off.

On route to Hamburg I ran into a transport Afixe transporting Military vehicles. He said he was given permission from some Martinez or something to deliver the vehicles to Planet Hamburg. I had a difficult time believing that and when I went to check his claim, he ran to Hamburg and docked at the border station. I'll post the bloody idiot on the RCDB. Kill this guy, wouldn't you?

Shift rotation again. While in the Hamburg system I ran into this Pelican with no identification and no IFF. Be that as it may upon asking him to stop he never responded and continues to head toward the Liberty border. With diplomacy failing we communicated a different way to his error.
This one was a bit different with the same flavor. A heavy Tanker transport was caught in New Berlin traveling towards Hamburg with basic Alloys. He took the Jump hole to avoid us but we caught up with him half-way to the shipyard in Hamburg. After attempting to stop him he overrided the stations docking controls and landed before we could stop him. No worries. He landed a bloody old target on his ship now.
