As you may have heard, one of our Omega patrols stumbled upon a bunch of vessels belonging to two previously hardly known organizations, the Reapers of Sirius and the Neo-Terran front, the latter chiefly consistent of Liberty descent. After personally hurrying to the scene, I had a talk with the leaders.
The Reapers identified their motivation to be merely bringing 'peace' to the Omega region, including the elimination of the communist Coalition vermin and their henchmen by force if necessary. They assured me that they were in no way to harm law-abiding citizens of Rheinland nor Bretonia, but I would like you all to keep an eye on them before we can write them off the list of threats, for example they appeared to have been in possession of highly dangerous Outcast equipment.
The other faction, the Neo-Terran front claimed to have been consistent of scientists and explorers, who were formerly based out of a certain 'Kansas' system, from where they had to leave due to the LSF threatening their operations. Their current representatives claimed to be building a sleeper ship with which they were intending to leave Sirius. They mainly acquire their materials from Zoners and such, as they claimed, but watch out for any other supply vessels going missing in the region as well as the NTF itself, until their actual modus operandi is confirmed.
[color=#FF6600]In short, keep an eye out for any RoS and NTF vessels you run across and report their activities, but do [color=#FF0000]not resort to commencing hostilities unless they break any points of Rheinland law or the Omega treaties. I'll keep you up to date as our negotiations carry on.
On a final note, the Bowex and their sub-organization, the [Convoy] now has clearance to carry military vehicles freely around and out of Rheinland, embargo rules still apply. The military vehicle shipping regulation is still in effect on any other shipping agent though, judging by yesterday's Bremen incursion we're still in for some tough times and our opposing force is getting better and better organized.
Guten Tag!
Today 31.10.818 I've started patrol. When i have undocked herr Admiral Alek Voelkel und Feldweber Ludwing Meyer were already patroled omega7 und omega 3. So ze Admiral ordered me to wait for ze feldweber at ze omega-7 jump gate to form up und to patrol ze omega-11 system. After patrol ze omega-11 me und feldweber formed up with ze admiral and headed to ze New Berlin system. There we have meet a civilian in a eagle that start firing in ze admiral. I've opened fire on zat civilian but ze admiral told me to pull out because ze situation was under control. Ze admiral remained at New Berlin planet so me und Feldweber headed to ze Frankfurt system und Sigma-13 for a patrol. Short after zat we meet with ze admiral but he had to go, after all he is a busy man. Herr Meyer took ze lead to ze Hamburg system for a patrol there, nothing happened there as well. Rheinland was peaceful zis night.

I have four notable events to report, one will be detailed by Feldwebel Meyer which is a gunboat incursion successfully repulsed by our bomber wing in a matter of minutes, the rest I will elaborate now.
The recently transferred Leutnant Maasyn and recently returned Major Krupinski intercepted a Volksfront terrorist injecting propaganda into the comms of Berlin, which Leutnant Maasyn attempted to reply to in a passive, inquiring manner, apparently enraging the unidentified Volksfront pilot. Following a lengthy debate, the terrorist engaged the Leutnant who was forced to act in self-defense, eventually gaining the upper hand in combat. The competition was fierce, the equipment of both fighting ships unusual, just before the Leutnant could finish off the rebel, a mercenary Arrow-class light fighter arrived to interfere, attacking the ship of Maasyn in assistance of the Volksfront.
As the rebel fled, Major Krupinski engaged and took down the mercenary identified as Simon Garret in a matter of minutes.
Later that day, the Seydlitz, my command cruiser, intercepted a smuggler vessel in Hamburg, outbound towards Liberty with a bunch of alien artifacts, packed into the cargo hold of a Firefly transport. After several warnings to cease attempts of fleeing and comply with the demands to drop, the smuggler summoned its escort, a Spatial-class SHF to engage the Seydlitz. As a response, the gunnery of the cruiser destroyed the unresponsive smuggler ship, designated as Mr. Lawrence, as well as the escort ship, the Tir Anasazi, which salvaged the drifting artifacts and attempted making an escape with them.
The cruiser recovered over 600 pieces of alien material, loading them off at Schatten, rendering them under the supervision of the MND. The artifacts they couldn't salvage, they purged by the cruiser's turret defense system.
Last notable issue: A Zoner capital ship, claiming to defend the miners of Omega-7 was intercepted and destroyed by a wing serving under my direct orders.
The Amon, a Corvo-class cruiser, was found lurking in the mining field near Briesen. Upon confronting with the vessel, the captain claimed he was there to protect miners, shooting pirates at opportunity. His story didn't add up though since there were no pirates nor miners in the area to begin with, therefore his presence was virtually useless for us, though more useful for pirates wishing to use it as their eyes unless the ship was wishing to conduct piracy itself.
Regardless, we ordered the cruiser out of the area on several counts, citing both laws of Rheinland and Omega treaties forbidding the usage of capital ships in the sector. He refused to comply. To prevent the loss of Rheinland lives, we were forced to engage the ship and put it down, we managed to do so just before the Amon hit the docks of Briesen.
For future reference, we gave the ship several warnings and chances to escape, even after being shot at. I don't know what the captain was thinking, disregarding Rheinland laws like that, I do hope the loss of his ship serves as a sign to anyone not wishing to take us seriously.

Guten tag Oberkommando,
Feldwebel Ludwig Meyer reporting in.
Today i was called for the defence of Hamburg once again, we received a report from the secondary fleet about a consistent libertonian fleet near Planet Hamburg and Alster Shipyard.
I moved to Alster Shipyard together with Major Drum, where we met Leutnant Schuster and Hauptfeldwebel Kreuzchen, plus some members of the secondary fleet and the cruiser class vessel RNC-Dessau.
The Dessau was already engaged in a battle against two gunboats of the Assault wing, the LNS-Assault1 and BongHit-Assault3 and a fighter, TekFish.
It was time to engage, and so we did.
But once we jumped in the fight, zhe libertonians received more help with the rest of their force that was still near Planet Hamburg, with the Overkill-Assaul12, the Cpt. Qwark and Logos-Assault10 , 3 more gunboats, escorted by a...Bumblebee, LN-Agamenon. And yes, they must be pretty desperate to think that a Bumblebee would save them.
Our first target for the bomber wing was Cpl. Qwark, who went down soon after.
We then changed target to BongHit-Assault3, who was torn apart by our Supernova Cannons.
The firepower of those gunboats was however enough to destroy the already damaged cruiser, and to give some troubles to some of the pilots of the secondary fleet, thanks to their high speed turrets. Turrets that didn't stop us from the destruction of everyenemyship.
After some hours of deserved rest, i took off again with my Wraith, to join Admiral Voelkel and Flieger Kaiser on a patrol of Stuttgart and the Omegas.
In Omega 7, me and Flieger Kaiser checked the northern mining field, where we found a zoner tagged vessel, a destroyer to be exact, with some silver ore in his hold. The captain of the vessel stated that he was there to protect the miners, completely ignoring our law regarding foreign capital ships in Rheinland space. I told to the captain that he had to leave the system as soon as he could, but he just refused. Even Admiral Voelkel didn't manage to convince him. He was probably there for another purpose then, he wanted to fight, we gave him the fight.
Flieger Kaiser had to dock for some repairs, so the Admiral and I jumped in Omega3, where we didn't meet anyone. On the way back to Stuttgart, Admiral Voelkel ordered me and Gefreiter Von Marck to check Omega 11, and so we did. Again, we didn't meet anyone, except for some Hessian rookies and a lot of radiations. Because of the radiations of the Giant Red star, i decided to not beyond the Asteroid Miner, returning back to join the Admiral's formation.
Right in front of Planet New Berlin, the Admiral Voelkel had a small.. incident with a Interspace tagged vessel and his trigger happy escort, ordering me and Gefreiter Von Marck to proceed with the patrol in Frankfurt and Sigma 13, where we met just some traders and rookie pirates.
I think that's all for today,
Feldwebel Meyer out.

Guten Tag, Fliegerin Vivien Schmitt here.
Today i got my Wraith VHF with the proper Identification Papers and Transmitters.
I went on my first patrol together with Flieger Egmund Tauber and we started with an Hamburg checkpoint to prevent potential blocade runners to supply our enemy. Today nothing went out of Hamburg but something weird came in. First of all it was a Corsair tagged Pelican with Liberty Equipment. We ordered him to get rid of both and he followed these orders. The next weird ship that came to hamburg was a luxuary liner with various Military weapons such as Hornvipers and also liberty tech. He explained that he wanted to "sell" them and that he "found" them somewhere. However he was forced to hand these weapons to us.
After this we patrolled Neu Berlin and Frankfurt. We split and i went to system Dresden in order to work to acquire both Military guard id and transmitters. On my way to Battleship Altenburg a filthy Hessian came across my way. He wanted me to drop some of his "friends" who were in my cargo hold. However that "order" was refused so the filth decided to attack me. He was horrible i must say. He ate my mine and right after this he flew in his own mine. I enjoyed that explosion. I went to Battleship Altenburg and signed off.

Guten Tag, Fliegerin Schmitt here.
When i started my Wraith today i was immediately ordered by Admiral Rall to head to the Frankfurt system.
It seemed there would be trouble soon. When i reached Mainz Storage Facility i was ordered to stay there untill futher notice. Flieger Egmund Tauber joined me with his Bergelmir Bomber. Soon after that we got the order to use the trade lane to the munich jumpgate in order to help Admiral Rall.
He was under attack by: [RHA]Aldo.Jhurgmann
[RHA]Friedrich.Riedel and -VF)Daniel.Boehmer Tauber and I engaged them immediately. With Admiral Rall's orders in the battle we were able to destroy the [RHA] ships. Our first victim was [RHA]Aldo.Jhurgmann. Short after his destruction Flieger Tauber landed a succesfull SNAC on the hull of [RHA]Friedrich.Riedel. We chased the remaining Volksfront pilot but unfortunately he could escape. However they should know now that it is a mistake to fight the Rheinland Military.

Meine Damen und Herren,
Its been a while i have submitted a patrol report, mainly becouse our soldiers have made a good work out there.
But this time was something wrong becouse i have to write a report alone about something what should never happen.
This is a conversation i had with a samura transport in the Hamburg system. He was transporting something what my scanner read as "artifacts" :
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: no step futher...
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: i said stop
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: gut
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: what are you supposed to transport samura vessel?
Bidon: u can scan me
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: but im asking you
Bidon: u boring me
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: do i?
Bidon: what u want
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: mein herr...you are violating the laws of rheinland
Bidon: how so
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: do you know that artifacts smuggling is prohibited?
Bidon: no
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: so you know now
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: so...
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: drop them at once...
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: all of them
Bidon: no
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: you will have to...
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: i didnt tell you to go
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: thats it...
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: fire
Bidon: stop shootnig
[RM]-Va.Gunter.Weissman: so stop
Bidon: no
He didnt stop and even started to shoot at me...the only end for him was the destruction.
Liebe soldiers how could that happen that a samura transport what is transporting artifacts is flying trough hamburg space, taking the lanes and nobody would stop him if i wouldnt be there?
I dont want that it will happen again.
I hope i made myself clear.

Comm ID: Fliegerin Vivien Schmitt Target ID:Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine Subject:Patrol Report Nr 3
Guten Tag, Fliegerin Schmitt here.
Today i patrolled the Neu Berlin system but today there was no pirate activity in our capital system. I decided to patrol Dresden. I heard rumours about Outcast forces located in this system. However the rumours were true and i found 2 Outcast vessels. They disrupted the lane and they shot at rookie pilots. They refused to leave the area and they decided its the best way to attack me. They were 1 bomber and 1 VHF. It didnt take long untill the bomber was shot down. I focused on the fighter and destroyed it too. During that battle a pilot from the Volksfront partei and a pilot of the Red Hessian Army showed up. However Vizeadmiral Weismann showed up too. After a long discussion the Vizeadmiral started to fight the Volksfront pilot while i was starting to fight the Hessian. The Volksfront pilot was succesfully destroyed. Short after that i destroyed the Hessian.
We returned to Neu Berlin where the Vizeadmiral signed off and hand over the command to Leutnant Kreuzchen who was aboard his personal gunboat, the [RM-RNC]Wolgast. Der Herr Leutnant wanted to patrol Frankfurt and then Munich, however after we reached Frankfurt we got an emergency call from the miners of Omega 7. There was a Junker who attacked the miners. Of course did the Junker fly before we arrived but we had to worry about other threats. We were attacked by 2 Red Hessians but this time they had an ace pilot with them. I did my best but i was ordered to retreat to system stuttgart. Leutnant Kreuzchen's GB took some damage but we could return to Neu Berlin safely.

Rheinland forces have conducted a spontaneous smaller-scale incursion into the Texas system, lead by Vizeadmiral Gunther Weissmann. Even though I personally didn't participate, Leutnant Maasym's debriefing on the case helped me obtain a proper insight.
Accompanied by a pair of capital ships, the RNC Wilhelm II and the RNC Munster, Weissmann's six-man wing flanked Houston and set up an ambush position along the trade lane to New York. The capital ships stayed behind and fixed in on a different position somewhere closer to Houston, eventually resulting in the fight to be split in two.
Immediately after taking a position near the lane, several Liberty Navy and LSF fighters engaged the Rheinwehr fighter contingent, the capital ships were engaged later on. Our men made steady progress, even as the Assault-1, covered by the LNS Hello Kitty disturbed the fight, the former openly engaging while the latter only served as some sort of obstacle in space which the hostiles, up to Outcast fighters, kept circling around.
During the lengthy engagement, over a dozen enemy ships were destroyed while several more were forced to flee, both by the capital ships, who eventually drifted as far as the sun, where most of them was wiped out. As opposed to that, the fighter wing managed to achieve a considerable success, eventually ending up in a debris field, losing only Von Gross, Landers and Jarek, taking down three of the LSF and about five of the Navy.
After the fourth or fifth wave of hostile reinforcements, now containing navy primary fleet members just as much as angry Liberty Rogues, Weissman called a retreat, which went without setbacks, all men made it back home in once piece.
