My paterol today strated from dotmund station where I met Fliger Billy Watzmann. We checked New Berlin,Frankfurt. Near Ring we met Gallic freighter. Pilot told us that EFL and Daumann have buisness together.
We continued our patrol. And in Frankfurt we met Rheinwehr Gunboat class ship. It had LPI IFF code, and i've got information that pilot was freelancer. After a conversation with him I didn't hear normal answer why he get that ship without Rheinwehr papers, or permission. We opened fire...the fight was long and we almost made him use all his nanobots and shield batteries. Zubu retreaded to New Berlin JG and jumped but I got in ion storm. So when all my systems returned into normal mode and I jumped in New Berlin traget disappeared.
Today my patrol started at New Berlin, I decided to see if the Embargo was being enforced in das Hamburg system, when I got there Ich managed to intercept and turn around two traders, who acted as if they didnt know about the embargo. Both of the traders said that they were headed to a "Unknown" Destination. I followed the second trader out.
After finding nothing in Frankfurt but a Barge transporting Alien Organisms, Ich decided to continue to das Dresden System, after finding nothing there either, I went to das Stuttgart system, Ich ran into ein suspicious Freelancer. I was right to be suspicious because asoon as Ich came into scanner range he docked onto Battleship Karlsruhe, I managed to get a scan on him before he docked.

Greetings 88th Command.
My name is Doctor Anton Miller, I specialize in alien contacts. Today in approximately 1300 hours, Fähnrich Carl von Manstein was found unconscious in his pod in Omega-7 close to the Stuttgart Gate. Until this time, he remains unconscious while his brain activity has returned to normal levels. The upcoming hours are vital for his life.
According to the evidence we have gathered, the said pilot has probably encountered an alien or a wild contact which brought him to this state. Fähnrich Manstein was patrolling Omega-7 when he found a Hessian Odin. According to the report he sent back to the base, he destroyed it after a brief fight. After that we were only able to retrieve 2 transmissions, one was sent to the HQ and the other to a Kruger escort vessel as a system-wide transmission:
Code:
10:18:31 [RM]Fr.Carl.v.Manstein: Code blue !
Half an hour later...
10:47:58 [RM]Fr.Carl.v.Manstein: Kruger ! What is your position? I need help
Code blue is used when you encounter an alien or an infected live form so that is why we are almost certain of what Manstein encountered. Anyway, a team searched his stuff and I noticed that he was preparing to submit a report to the HQ. Since he is currently unable to do that and because his report might contain important or urgent information, I will attach the files to this message.
I will keep you updated regarding his status.
Q-63 Patrol Report
[color=#FFFF00]I started from Battleship Karlsruhe for a typical patrol in Stuttgart System and Omega-7. In the trade lane between Ulm and Freiburg I found one Corsair Gunboat and one Titan. They instantly showed their hostile intentions so I called for backup since I wasn't able to deal with both targets and the incoming transports could still be intercepted. Luckily, a gunboat class vessel, RNC-Freya arrived and we successfully demonstated what happens to each and every Corsair in Rheinland !
Afterwards, I moved to Omega-7 where I encountered 3 CR fighters near Briesen. A Military pilot named Hans Bucher has already engaged one of them. I conducted a scan to their leader and I verified GMG weaponry as you can notice in the following attachment.
As for the Colonial Remnants, each and every one of them was neutralized.
Some moments later, a large Hessian force appeared in our scanners which forced us to retreat and regroup in more fortified positions.
SD-6 Patrol Report
Since the ceasefire was signed, I was assigned back in Battleship Strausberg, so I started my patrol from Karlsruhe and finished it in Strausberg. Stuttgart was quiet but when I jumped to New Berlin I found a pirate in a gunship trying to pirate a transport. Fortunately the trader managed to flee, so I called for support to apprehend the pirate who identified himself as The Joker. He said something about a ban movement, but honestly I don't pay attention to comedians while I am in the field. Some moments later a lackey of the Joker arrived, in a gunboat as well.
The backup arrived quickly but Joker was still refusing to surrender. So this is how his comedy turned into a drama.
Then the lights turned to his assistant who was using a Hessian gunship as you can see in this image. He performed quite well and exited the scene some minutes after his mentor.
Half an hour later, I noticed a transport of unlawful origin heading to Kreuzberg Base. I hailed him but he didn't stop. The attachment shows his cargo hold.
My guess is that after Kreuzberg, his cargo would end up in Liberty. Soon after I stopped persuing the smuggler, I returned to Strausberg and finished my patrol.

Flieger Sulzer reporting.
I'm confident by now that the Coalition forces that showed up in Hamburg attempted claiming total victory over a ludicrous ass-kicking we performed with Viv, the two of us (plus poor Watzmann) put an entire fleet of them communists to the run. Here's an official statement, for the press:
Spearheaded by a Destroyer and a gunboat, the 'Totenkopf' (if you're unsure what that means, check the hat of doctor Miller), the enemy force was lurking around the lane to Westfalen from Hamburg. As they spotted me, they made a run for the nearby Nordheide, but I saw it fit to make sure they leave Rheinland. They didn't.
After a shorter period of conversation, they attacked me with three to four fighters, to "chase me off." Watzmann soon arrived, but it seemed he left the fleet back at home.
Quote:[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Say, Watzmann.
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Where's the rest of the fleet?
SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: Wolfe: Tied up.
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: I pin them here and you come alone.
[RM]Fl.Billy.Watzmann: Admiring they're own ships.
SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: Wolfe: Pin us here? *He Laughs*
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Pin you here.
SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: Wolfe: You take too much credit where it's due.
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: I'm dodging three ships, damn it! Sure as hell I feel important!
SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: Wolfe: Not really. We just want to run you off
By that conversation, you can also determine how they were trying to run me off, yes. Then just as Watzmann was shot down, Viv arrived. The commies gave us another chance to "leave."
Quote:SCRA|Jacob.Forge: Ladies, leaving now will avoid bloodshed.
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: We'll stay, prepare the coffins.
SCRA|Jacob.Forge: Your choice then.
Then they threw their whole force at us, even their gunboat came in to shoot pulses at my ass.
Following a few minutes of fierce fighting during which we crippled two of their fighters, they suddenly decided to distract us so they can evacuate some very important person who didn't even exist before we kicked their asses! Needless to say, it was a hilarious excuse to cover up their retreat and look like the victors over a situation that turned out against their original plans.
We shot down their "distraction", a very heavy fighter and then some retard in a light fighter shot his escape pod into the sun as we were chasing him. Very cunning.
Quote:SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: Wolfe: *He Slow Claps* Brilliant. You destroyed the distraction.
SCRA|Boris.Bykov: *ejects both pods* Who is stupid no, da?
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Sun sun sun sun.
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: You obviously are.
Vivien.Schmitt: YOU MAD OR WHAT ?
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Ejecting his pod into the sun.
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Very clever.
Vivien.Schmitt: Tehehehehe
Vivien.Schmitt: What a loser
Death: SCRA|Boris.Bykov was killed by Vivien.Schmitt (Gun)
I suffered minimal damage, Viv was unharmed. We made our way back to Hamburg while the Coalitionists were yelling about how smart they were by running from two fighters with their tails between their legs.
Quote:SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: Wolfe: Well, that was unexpected. *He Shrugs* But it's Boris.
Vivien.Schmitt: POOR BORIS
Vivien.Schmitt: POOR SOUL
BNG|LNS-Santo.Domingo: Poor him.
BNG|LNS-Santo.Domingo: May he rest in peace.
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Oh no Vivien!
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: We were so trapped!
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: The SCRA was actually fooling us!
Vivien.Schmitt: Ah now the biggest losers are here too
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Oh noooo!
Realizing it was ALL A MASTER PLAN!!!!
Quote:SCRA|Jacob.Forge: Now go kiss and whatnot ladies.
Being instructed to kiss. Alright...
Quote:[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: Vivien!
Vivien.Schmitt: Me ?
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: The SCRA defeated us, face it.
Vivien.Schmitt: Tehehehehe
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: We so got distracted.
Vivien.Schmitt: Failed commies
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: In the meantime they must have bombed the pope's residence.
Vivien.Schmitt: Yeee
[RM]Fl.Alla.Sulzer: *Sarcastically wipes off a non-existing tear.*
We SO GOT DEFEATED OH MY GOD!
Quote:SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: Wolfe: It's almost amusing how you assume the distraction meant anything more then a window to pull out our more valuable
SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: assets.
SCRA|Jacob.Forge: Wow...I hear stuff about Female being superior...Um...no. Not in this case.
SCRA|CPW-Totenkopf: Wolfe: *He smirks to himself* Once again, you completely miss the point Rheinlanders. Fighter Corps, return to base.
And finally, we COMPLETELY missed the point! It has all been a master plan! They pulled out their more valuable assets which weren't valuable at all five minutes before that!
So yeah, their propaganda ministry needs some replacement, I haven't laughed so hard during my military service.
Finally, here's the glorious Coalition force in its full might:
It's such a shame that we only got two of them before they ran off.

Tag,
Uhm, the paperwork is piling up on my desk and these two seem to be the most important ones.
Well, the first one is from yesterday. I started a regular patrol and was contacted by Hauptmann Herrmann and Leutnant Austerlitz, apparently they had something going on up there in Frankfurt. When I arrived at the scene all was quiet. The Hauptmann ordered the Leutnant to stay there and monitor the Jump Gate to Sigma-13 and that asteroid field near it. In the meantime the Hauptmann and me went through the Gate to check the other side up to Helgoland and the debris field surrounding it, scary inside there I tell you! Comm contact to the Leutnant was lost in the meantime. Well, again nothing, only some short signals popped up on my scanner, but that was most likely just floating debris. However, when we were on the way RTB we encountered something. A BHG gunboat, nothing suspicious at first, well, until it shot an ALG patrol of course. He identified himself as someone called "The Joker", no clue who that is, but the Hauptmann knew his name and obviously he was some sort of criminal. Well, uh, the shooting began soon after, hard to crack such a gunboat, so we send a request for bomber support. Fortunately Vizeadmiral Weissman showed up in a Bergelmir. It took us some time but the Vizeadmiral hammered that fool to oblivion while we kept his shields down. Unfortunately he ejected in time and we lost scanner contact to the escape pod in that soup out there. Oh, and there were some GMG forces standing by, seeing we had the situation under control they did not interfere...we gave them a fine display of what the Kanzler's Iron Fist is capable of.
[color=#FFCC00][font=Times New Roman]Uhm, now the other one, here we go. It is from today, I received word of some Liberty Schweine doing covert operations in New Berlin and moved there to investigate, at the Ruhrfeld I encounter a Navy fighter, Guardian class. He claimed his mission was to "kill Rheinland Military", well he failed and got his ass handed to him.
So, the last part is from today too, a Kamerad of the Westflotte reported three additional Liberty vessels in Dresden. I moved there to assist, so did Hauptmann Herrmann who joined in. At the scene three Guardian were already shooting at him, I moved in to assist, and so did the Hauptmann when he arrived shortly after. The fight dragged on for a while when several Red Hessian and Rotfront ships moved in to, ah well, "assist us". Seeing the common enemy they opened fire on the Libertonians as well. All Liberty ships were on defense then and jumped to Frankfurt through a gravitational anomaly - we followed. Arriving there we lost contact to one of the Libertonians and kept shooting at the remaining two. Well, the one the Hauptmann and me were pursuing could escape too and we decided to not return to the big fray, for the overwhelming commie forces surely would have opened fire on us once that last Libertonian was dealt with.
I am glad to report back from a successful covert operation in Liberty space. The Following report contains information about the innerpolitical situation in Liberty, which may be used to our advantage.
Agent Franz Leiche and me made our way to the California system through several gravitational anomalies known to the Nachrichtendienst. Our primary goal was to disrupt trade and eventually prey on lone patrols moving too far away from the planets orbits. To our surprise we encountered something far more interesting...
Intercepted messages on non-secured comm channels indicated that Navy personnel was enroute to Planet Mojave to deal with a not further specified threat. Apparently they fought a large capital vessel there, which turned out to be belonging to a group of criminals known as the "Lane Hackers". We decided to watch from afar to prevent being detected and took some pictures of the fight before we departed. It is not known if said capital vessel was destroyed by the Navy forces.
If I may speak freely...this could be used to our advantage to weaken Liberty from within if we found a way to support them indirectly. They might be criminal scum, but could still prove useful.
On our way to Magellan, where we planned to hit some Liberty transports, we where spotted by a Navy vessel, unfortunately. Evasive maneuvers were taken and we headed back to Texas. Some of his comrades might have broken off from the battle in Mojave orbit and assist him, which we deemed to dangerous.
In Texas he was still on our tail and we took the chance to strike against him there - farther away from the large Navy force we detected before.
The fight dragged on for some time and reinforcements arrived, yet the situation looked well under control for us so we did not break off and head home. The total amount of enemy fighters taking part in the engagement was five, this guncam shot shows four of them:
One of them was a civilian vessel, taking part in the fight against the orders of the Navy. Well, might have been patriotism, but that does not protect you against gunfire. He was taken down rather quickly.
After that I had to retreat due to the damage my Wraith had taken. Agent Leiche stayed there in the fight while I retreated with two of them on my tail. I was not able to shake them, but once I reached the Jump Gate to Hamburg they fortunately broke off.
In the meantime Leiche managed to destroy the LSF vessel that took part in the fight and afterwards retreated as I did.

Yesterday at 0700 hours, the Rheinland Fleet moved out to Texas. 6 Rheinland Battleships and the pilots of the WRF started the attack at 0715. They did significant damage to the Liberty Fleet. My wing - Leutnant Sarah Austerlitz and [color=#33CC00]Feldwebel Theo Sittlingen, entered Texas at 0738. The libertonians were awaiting us. They brought a cruiser and a few fighters to guard the jump gate. We were under heavy fire, when the WRF came to assist us.
As we were heading to Houston, we encountered the LSF. I ordered my wing to engage them, but the Liberty Battleship made our job more difficult. I requested immediate capital ship support, but nothing happened. Fortunately, we managed to take down a few fighters, and made the LSF flee.
Planet Houston was highly defended by capital ships. I made an extraction point at the Hudson jump gate, but 2 capital ships followed us. I can't dissemble the fear in my eyes, when I saw the Leutnant's Wraith torning into pieces by 2 missile from the battleship. Thank God, the Leuntant managed to eject from his fighter, before the missiles hit the Wraith. We took her escape pod back to Westfallen.
In the end, my wing returned to Westfallen, with loosing only one fighter. The Navy didn't follow us to Hudson, I think there were more Military vessels in Texas.
To Leutnant Austerlitz and Feldwebel Sittlingen. You did an excellent job under my command. I'll recommend both of you for the award of the Iron Cross. You've earned it, soldiers. Keep up the good work.

The Bretonians have finally shown their true face, their true, hideous Auslander nature! As the Rheinwehr fleet moved to Omega-3 in order to secure Rugen from their poaching, the Bretonians gathered all our enemies under their wing and amassed a fleet to attack us!
They brought mercenaries, communists and even [color=#FFFF00]Libertonian warships into the Omegas that rightfully belong to Rheinland and once we attempted searching for the criminals they attacked us! The weaklings need the help of the entire universe to stand against Rheinland and still they fail!
We found their criminal horde hiding in the ice field near the Cambridge jump gate. Admiral Putzkammer onboard the Deutschland attempted orchestrating diplomacy but little after we encircled the enemy, they opened fire! Indeed, let it be known to all that [color=#FFFF00]they fired first!
We crushed their main fleet and forced the survivors to retreat to Cambridge. Their communist and mercenary allies attempted fighting us as Admiral Putzkammer ordered a regroup and a fleet assembly, the Excalibur, a cruiser, was pinned down by a Rot Front anarcho-communist and two of her capitalist mercenary thugs (quite ironic, indeed).
I stayed behind to single-handedly fight the mercenaries while the Excalibur got to the rendezvous point. Alone I was up against three of these bloodhounds and my ship was shot down, but our more important assets got away successfully and the Bretonian fleet was already in ruins! Soon we shall advance on Cambridge and crush the Auslanders that dare resist us under our heels.
All hail victory! All hail Rheinland!

Today Ich was patrolling Stuttgart when the Rheinland Gunboat 'Marauder.Prime' asked me to assist him in finding a reported Hessian Cruiser. Later Marauder reported that it had fled.
After that Ich discovered another Hessian pirating along the Tradelane from Das Mainz Storage Facility. Upon seeing me he made for his escape into the Taunusfeld.
That is all Ich have to report Herren, Hail Das Kanzler!
Guten Tag! Today was a busy day in Rheinland's war effort. The patrol into Omega-3 started normal, with our force being combined with a strike group from the Kusari Naval Forces. I got a distress call in the Stuttgart system and was ordered by a Fahnrich to head to the Omega-3 system where we ran into a group of Corsair Capitol vessels, all Osirises. We managed to defeat all of the vessels, however, we lost an RM Battleship in the exchange of fire. It's sacrafice allowed us to destroy the other vessels. Guncams below of the final battleship fleeing and being destroyed.
The next point of the engagement I ordered a defensive perimeter to be setup around Rugen after the Fahnrich had to go off-duty. Since Feldwebels are not normally allowed to be alone in Omega-3 I sent a priority communique to Vize Admiral Putzkammer, who, seeing all of the secondary fleet in the system, allowed me to stay to command them.
This opportunity was not squandered, as we ended up getting into a fight with the BAF in the system. We managed to take out a few of their fighters.
But in the end we lost 3 of our own in quick succession due, in part, to a capitol class Mako entering the fray.
I called for a retreat, as a BAF battleship class vessel had been hammering us also this entire time, armed with Solaris battleship turrets.
We arrived back to Rugen, 3 pilots down, but secured the station. I ordered the remaining troops back to Rheinland into defensible positions in the Stuttgart system and returned each of them to normal patrols. I sent a priority communique to the RMHC about the Mako that opened fire and destroyed our fighters.
