Today, as I was delivering several Hessian prisoners to the Strausberg, I received a transmission with threats from a Hessian known as Emil Meier.
This evidently didn't stop me from delivering these pilots. As soon as I had done that, I went to take a look at said Hessian.
It was a lone bomber, so I didn't see him as a real threat, but I ordered him to leave anyway. He failed to comply and after a while, we started firing. He was able to down my shields and scrape the paint of my Wraith, but he couldn't get a lock on me for long enough to deal damage. As he realised he couldn't win, he fled into the Saarfeld, I didn't pursue him further because I had the feeling several more Hessians were waiting to ambush me.
I believe this shows how desperate the Hessians have become in order to free their brethren, which leads me to believe they are running out of pilots.
I have added two guncam shots, due to a malfunction that was all I was able to salvage from the records.

Guten Tag meine Damen und Herren,
Report from 13.3.817 A.S
After 3 weeks in the Berlins hospital, I got the chance to destroy one Corsair gunboat somewhere in New Berlin system with Oberleutnant Weissman.
My bomber was in Hamburgs military hangar after my last mission. All ship systems were on green, and I got the permission for takeoff. I had meet with Oberleutnants bomber near battleship Straussberg. Herr Weissman ordered me to patrol the berlin system, starting from the straussberg via dortmund to planet and he took the way over Brandenburg.
Trader lanes between Boon Berlin planet were clear. Near Berlin planet was one Bounty Hunter gunboat. In this time, herr Weissman spotted a corsair gunboat near Frankfurt jumpgate, on the way to Berlin planet. I have spotted the vessel. He tried to take the lane to Dortmund, but I disrupted TL ring. Corsair gunboat was under heavy fire by Oder shypiard. He had to use cruise engines, but herr Weissman just came and disrupted him. The corsair dont responded on Oberleutnants calling and he was continuing in his flight to Dortmund. Me und herr Weissman were behind him. Suddenly and without any warning the corsair opened the fire on me. Herr Weissman ordered to open fire. Our SNAC hit his ship, and caused heavy damages, but after 2 minutes I spotted new hostile contact. One more corsair gunboat came from the trade lane, but he engaged us. We were continuing in firing on the first one. Our corsair target had very heavy damages and he was trying to run but he didnt have chance. 3 mins later he was been destroyed by my great SNAC shot. Second corsair gunboat was still shooting us, but later he tried to run as his friend. In his running he has just engaged a bounty hunter gunboat who was near the fight, neverthless we have manager to take him down too.
After outfitting my wraith fighter and filling out all the proper registry forms I conducted my first patrol of New Berlin and the surrounding systems. Unfortunately the only ships that appeared on my scanners where not hostile so my ship is still untested. I look forward to writing my next after-action report.
My second patrol proved to be more interesting. After verifying that New Berlin was clear of hostiles I moved my patrol sector to the Hamburg system. As I was patrolling I came across a pilot named Metamfetamin flying an Executioner Liberty Heavy Fighter. After receiving no answer when I demanded he explain why he was in Rhienland I was forced to open fire. After a few seconds the Liberty spy was destroyed.

Subject: Patrol #3
Location: Medical Bay, Planet New Berlin
Today's patrol was filled with action to say the least. It started out well but soon turned out bad. I started my patrol in the Hamburg system. I stationed my ship in orbit of planet Hamburg and started scanning incoming ships for contraband. It wasn't long tell my efforts produced a result. One of the ships that came through was carrying 50 units of artifacts. The pilot however proved to be very cooperative. As soon as I ordered him to cut his engines he complied. He claimed to be unaware of the fact his cargo was illegal. Because of this I confiscated the cargo and let him off with a warning. That was the good part of my patrol. The second half of this report is regrettably bad. After receiving reports of Junkers pirating traders in the New Berlin system, I decided to investigate. When I came across the Junkers said to be involved however I could not collect any evidence what so ever that they had broke any law so I was forced to give them a warning and an order to disperse. They complied willingly. Now this is the part where the patrol went from bad to downright deadly. On my back to New Berlin, I came across a hostile Corsair Gunboat under the name of Armando.Castillo. Seeing as I had reinforcements in system; RNC-Aachen and [RM]Of.Tanja.Voelkel, I felt it was my duty to detain the vessel to allow the rest of my task force time to reach the Corsair. Unfortunately due to a communication error of some kind the reinforcements proved too long in coming and my Wraith was unable to survive the fire of the hostile gunboat. Though my ship was destroyed the RNC-Aachern was able to arrive on the scene and run the gunboat off. RNC-Aachern was able to tractor in my pod as well.
Some good news is that the doctors say that I will be fit for duty again in under 24 hours.
Todays patrol was once again rather eventful. At the start of my patrol I received reports of a Wild gunboat in the Frankfurt system. However before I could assemble a task force to challenge the hostile, it disappeared from long range scanners.
I then proceeded to the Hamburg to enforce the embargo. While I was enroute, Josef.Wolfen spotted a blockade runner carrying nuclear devices named Elvis. After he ignored an order to halt I set a trap for him in the Hamburg system. When he jumped through I once again ordered him to halt. The blockade runner ignored this as well and proceeded to attempt to flee. I was then forced to give the order to open fire. Within minutes he was destroyed with Josef.Wolfsen laying the final blow.
On our way back to the New Berlin system we once again picked up a blockade runner heading towards Liberty. This one was called Riskbreaker. When we gave the order to halt, the blockade runner once again attempted to flee. Rudolf.Stelger managed to CD the target before he got away. Riskbreaker then opened fire on our ships. I was given no choice but to give the order to return fire. Rudolf.Stelger and Josef.Wolfen took down the targets shield and I finished him with my SNAC.
I would like to give special credit to Rudolf and Josef for their outstanding work on this patrol. Without them I doubt I would have been able to catch the blockade runners.
This report will encompass three events that took place in the past few days.
Mysterious Contact While on patrol with Hauptgefreiter Erwin Helge we encountered an Order tagged vessel by the callsign of [OSDF]Sabaton. We immediately intercepted the target and I scanned his vessel and found some interesting things. First of all it seems Order operatives carry Nomad weaponry along with Corsair Pulse weapons. The Order Agent claimed to be responding to a distress call from his Miner friend. This explanation raised some doubts between Herr Helge and myself. Order Agents are supposed to sever all times with their realatives, friends, ect. After some talking I was told by Herr Helge to await some Bretonian ships who wished to take a look at the Order vessel. When they arrived I scanned the BAF vessels for future references on some of their standard loadouts should we ever need to know them. Once that was all over with we proceeded to escort the Order Agent out and then resume our patrol.
Miner using Child Labour Once we escorted the Order Agent out of Omega-7 I was told by Herr Helge to converge on his location. When I arrived I noticed that he was talking to a miner which remained silent for some time. I was ordered to fire some warning shots and I did. Shortly after a Daumann Employee joined us and informed us that the miner was a tresspasser. Herr Helge imposed a One Million Credit fine on the Miner for not responding to a Rheinwehr officer and after some time of silence the Miner began speaking. He mentioned some gibberish about being away from the controls. The rest will be explained in this message log I compiled.
Smugglers I encountered two smugglers today. The first was one by the callsign of "DarkSainT". I encountered him in Hamburg and I pursued but he was ultimately able to escape. During my pursuit he insulted the Rheinwehr, Shot at my Wraith and dared to taunt me. Later when I was on a patrol with Vizeadmiral Voekel we encountered the smuggler again. After informing the Vizeadmiral of this smuggler I proceeded to open fire and chased him through Hamburg and a little bit into Hudson. He again shot at my vessel, insulted the Rheinwehr and taunted me but this time I was properly equipped to deal with him. He fell under the might of my Firekiss's!
The second smuggler encountered was "Jarek.Smuggler". His speech was quite impaired and after two warnings Vizeadmiral Voekel gave us permission to open fire. The smuggler never stood a chance.
Once again my patrol proved to be a handful. It all started with Flieger Rudolf Stelger, Flieger Joseph Wolfen and myself emergency launching in response to reports of four LSF agents in Rheinland space. Because we lacked solid tactical information on the hostilities and were at a numeral disadvantage, I decided to see what they were up to before I engaged. Once they proceeded to enter the Frankfurt system I concluded they were on a recon mission of some kind and ordered the task force to engage and pursue. After picking the ships up on scanners near the Mainz Storage Facility, I was able to plot an intercept course based on their trajectories. However before we were able to catch the Liberty dogs they disappeared through a hidden jump hole! After using my scanners to see that the jump hole led to Hamburg I ordered the task force to follow. We were just quick enough to catch two of the LSF agents. Their callsigns were =LSF= Julia.Wolfe, flying an Upholder and =LSF= Interdictor-1, flying a Spatial. As Interdictor was closest, we targeted the Spatial first. After he exhausted his shield and armor bots we were finally able to destroy him with me laying the final blow. Next we targeted Julia. Unfortunately she was able to destroy Flieger Stelgers Wraith before we were able to put her down. But destroy her we did. On this kill it was Flieger Wolfens turn to lay the final blow. After tractoring in Rudolfs escape pod we proceed back to New Berlin.
On our way back however we picked up a hostile Red Hessian near Alster Shipyard. After the pirate ignored my order to leave the system Flieger Wolfen and I engaged. Though the Hessian was extremely skilled we were still able to destroy him. Flieger Wolfen laid the final blow on this one as well.
After this final fight was concluded I returned to New Berlin for a much needed round at the bar.

Some interesting events that occurred during my patrols this week. First, an encounter with the Smokeone Familia outside planet New Berlin. Weve had trouble with them in the past, specifically with their criminal activity. They seem keen on taking Oberfeldwebel Voelkel and make her a Donna. With the Admiral arriving on scene, I took my wing which included Rudolf Steiger, Josef Wolfen, and Beckenbauer Faruk and began escorting them back to the Omegas. On the way, they broke off the route while we opened fire. They lead us into the asteroid field and fell into ambush as we entered the jump hole after them. Coming under fire, I ordered a retreat and we got out of there alive.
Later, we continued patrols of the other system until Herr Wolfen and I were the last of our wing.
The systems of Munich, Frankfurt and New Berlin were scoured of any disturbances and from there we went into Hamburg due to a possible Liberty Navy threat. Wolfen and I did find Chris Lansen, a bomber appearing to scout our defenses. My wing mate opened fire while I scanned the area for more intruders. Wolfen reported of a minor malfunction and needed to re-calibrate his targeting scanners so I took his place with the target destroyed.
It was a pleasure flying with the secondary fleet officers and hope to see you all out on the field. Also, congratulations to those promoted in our fine fleet.
