Guten Tag officiers of die Rheinwehr und my superiors. I appologize for die extreme delay of die transmission. Und everything should be in order. This file is going to be fairly large und might have to be uploaded in chunks. I have at least three reports in here.
Report Four:
To begin I vas assisting an OS&C pilot with some IFF issues vhen I discovered a disturbance in New Berlin. I questioned a local Daumann pilot but unfortunately he did not have any idea of die source of die offending transmission.
Eventually I met up vith Herr Retro, und he joined mein patrol. I decided upon a flight path for us und ve set out. Soon however Herr Retro had to retire for he vas fatigued.
Possibly one of die more interesting encounters during die patrol vas this ship. Ja, it vas a LPI vessel in Hamburg. However die ship vas full of passengers und not vanting to harm civilians I attempted to arrest die pilot. Surprisingly everything vas going smoothly until a nearby cruiser patrol's automated turrets destroyed die ship! I rushed to save as many passengers as I could! I pray that die rest vere picked up by die Cruiser patrol.
Und to finish off mein report. Ve have die pilot Herr Wurst. Herr Wurst immediately set off avay from mein ship die moment he spotted me. After aprolonged chase through die asteroid field he eventually eluded me.
Signed
[color=#FFFFFF]Gefreiter Klaus Weiss.
Report Five:
To begin mein report I vould like to state that die report contains very little other than detailing mein scanning und questioning of trading vessels traveling through die New Berlin sector, vith one notable exception. But, die exception vill be explained at die end of die report.
As I stated earlier most of die patrol consisted of me scanning traders in die New Berlin sector. These include:
However, it is to be noted that die Trader 'Camara' opened fire upon mein ship vith no warning after I disabled a trade lane in order to question him und scan his ship. He however fled before I could properly deal vith him, und die other guncam shots vere corrupted.
Und vith die closure of die traders I bring up die most important portion of mein patrol. Die Zoner Battleship Eris.Marr. Die Kapitaen vas certain that he had die authority to pass through our Nationvithout any prior consent! I quickly contacted High Command und attempted to scramble some bombers in case die Kapitaen proved to be hostile. It vas also discovered that he vas hauling pieces of nomads! Eventually more bombers showed up und ve escorted die Kapitaen out of die system und informed him that next time he must go through us first, und that ve vould not be so understanding if he tried to do that again.
Signed

Report Six:
Guten Tag. Mein Report, like die one prior, vill be mainly Embargo Runners und Traders vith a little excitement tovard die end. Die ships include:
Shortly aftervord I received word of a large corsair battlegroupen that vas harassing trade in die Stuttgart system. I immediately contacted High Command und asked for backup as a single Gunboat und Bomber against die combined might of die Corsair Cruiser und Gunboats und fighter vhere not enough. Eventually however I finally got through to High Command und die Might of die Rheinwehr crashed down upon die Corsair battlegroupen as they dared enter die New Berlin system. Ve made short vork of die inexperienced piloten und die crisis vas averted.
After die traders und Corsair Battlegroupen. I met up vith die Rheinwehr Secondary fleet pilot Red_Baron, und together patrolled. However ve vere seperated shortly vhen I went to investigate a possible pirate attempt. However it turned out to simply be a case of broken IFF transponder.
During die time I vas separated from Red_Baron he encountered two Hessian pilots. Die pilots unfortunately destroyed his ship before I could arrive to assist, und I vas forced to confront them by myself. I contacted High Command und requested support, but I vas forced into engaging die Hessians after a short discussion of vhat their ships vould look like if they did not leave die system. Unfortunately being in a two on one fight I started to lose die upper hand und vhen trying to turn too sharply came in contact vith mein own mine. Aftervords die Hessians vere taken care of vith backup sent by High Command.

Mein herren und damen, this report is about today's training at Braunschweig system. After falling back from an engagement at the Omega systems, Gefreiter Weiss decided to take me to a training session. It went really well, und later, even Major-General Kaiser and Admiral Landers showed up. Learning from piloten with such a lot of experience was a true honor for me.
I'd like to thank all my superiors for taking the time to train me.
Note: My guncam got damaged in the first training session against Gefreiter Weiss, I am currently working on getting it repaired.

Guten tag.
Yesterday, when I launched from planet Hamburg to start another patrol, I found 5 Libertonian capital ships, standing at planet's orbit. They were not firing, There was two Liberty Carriers, one Liberty Dreadnought, two Liberty siedge cruisers. One of the carriers opened fire on me, in silent... Lucky I was fast enough to evaid.
I called help, and our reinf arrived soon. Combat started in Hamburg system. While fighting, enemy received another reinforcment. 2 bombers and gunship.
Hostal forces were destroyed/runned away. We continued our fight in Texas system.
Near jump Gates our forces took down another Libertonian Assault Battlecruiser. I engaged in pursuit of gunship. While pursuit, me and 51st piloten found and distruped escaping Dreadnought. We held him, until our heavy guns arrived.
There we countered Houston planet defence and destroyed few capital ships. I had to fall back, because my oxigen tanks were almost empty.
We lost few fighters, two or three cruisers, gunship, and one battleship.
Enemy lost: One bomber, one fighter, 2 Dreadnoughts, 2 or 3 Carriers, gunship, LABC.
Still, It could be, that I forgot someone...

[font=Century Gothic]Mein Herren!
We were on our formal duty in Hamburg system. During the patrol process at planet Hamburg we found something.
I would like to report a blockade runner who ignored our commands and escaped to the belly of Rheinland when we tried to stop them. They hauled restricted materials and harmed the blockade between our glorious Rheinland and that puny Liberty.
We have informed them about the actions what we will force against them after this action but they laughed on the Kanzler's face.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
This morning, a reminder of my supervisors was in my inbox: I have to touch up with several weeks of paperwork of Patrols and Combat exercises. Until further notice my time in the lab is nullified. Seems that my studies have to rest for a while.
Indeed my desk looks as if it's going to collapse in case I postpone my work further. But... as you all know, I am also still a bit shook up from that little "incident" in the Omegas lately. Being guided by one of my officers we commenced - what was planned as a swift attack strike against Hessian bases in the Border Worlds.
A series of unfortunate events seperated me from the rest of the pack and some [color=#FFFFFF]Reavers - obviously just another Terrorist group - arrived at the spot to assist the Hessians. I was able to dodge their blasters, however a severe malfunction in my nuclear mine dropper destroyed mein Wraith. One of the Reavers with the callsign "Silver" tractored mein spinning Pot. Upon regaining conciousness I found myself inside a tiny cargo bay. That trip to the next border station costed me 1.000.000 cr.
During my more "quiet" shifts I had to:
-Scan about half a dozen ships each day with Pilots that are unaware of the fact, that there STILL is a trade embargo with Liberty. Hearing their lame excuses is getting on my nerves, if you allow me to express my personal opinion. It seems as if the offenders *want* to hear me quoting our beloved Vaterlands laws over and over again. (see attachements)
-Destroy tons and tons of contraband like these Artifacts we found on a Junkers vessel. I am still unsure where he obtained these. Unfortunately I am not allowed to take a sample of them for my researches... but I digress...
Most of the delinquents comply after getting cought and recieving a lecture in Rheinland laws. But more frequently we get ignored, insulted or even attacked. Heavy fines await offenders that try to pust their luck too far. Unfortunately sometimes we have to deal with them by force. (see attachements)
-Sharing hints of our Zones of Interest with Recruits - some of them *really* wanted to Patroll in O-Gamma for a reason - along with the know how of common smuggle routes out of Rheinland.
I hope they use their knowledge to intercept smugglers and not to sell it to traitors.
-Combat lessons with skilled Instructors.
-Returning a drifting Vessel from the Asteroid fields near Neu Berlin.
-Fighting off an Intruder within our Guard system (Pictures will follow)

Just some minutes ago we dealt with a Corsair incursion in the Frankfurt system. The emergency channels were flooded with help requests, the Corsairs had brought numerous fighters and one cruiser.
The 51st was already in combat with them when I entered the battle area, located near the jumpgate to the Munich system. Our side was outnumbered at the beginning, but that changed quickly when we received more support.
We destroyed the cruiser and some of their fighters before they realized it would be better for them to just run back to where they came from. It saddens me to see them roaming around in Rheinland, on the other hand it makes me happy to see that they don't stand a chance against us.

Guten Tag mein officers. I have two more reports to file. For the glory of der Vaterland!
Report Seven:
To begin mein report I vas engaging in some training vith one of our newest Fliegers und a trader got lost. This intrusion vas shortly dealt vith. Shortly however Gefreiter Engel had to depart so I decided to train der Fleiger in basic combat tactics. Then to mein amazement Major General Kaiser und Admiral Landers showed up. Ve were then separated into dual wings vith die Major General und myself against Admiral Landers und die Flieger. I am pleased to report that die Major General und myself vere victorious.
Later that day I received word of Rorry's Renegades infesting Neu Berlin.
Here are the scans of die ships present: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
As you can see they clearly vanted to harm der Rheinland. However ve overwhelmed them once support arrived. They picked a bad time to raid Neu Berlin as our primary fleet und secondary fleet members vere returning from a raid on Texas.
Report Eight:
Today there vas reports all across die board of a large corsair battlegroppen in der Frankfurt system. Und responding in kind der Rheinwehr engaged die corsair bombers und fighters as vell as a lone cruiser. As I am sure mein fellow soldats have reported, ve crushed them. Here is a kill I personally made against one of die Corsair filth.
However we vere not finished as vere heard reports that Rorry's Renegades vere back. Ve gave them a warm Rheinland welcome. However an oxygen leak vas detected in mein hull after an unlucky pass und I vas forced to dock vith die nearby battleship. I later learned that ve crushed the Renegades just as ve had die Corsairs. A gut day for Rheinland.

Hallo Mein Kameraden.
As for this simple report I didn't seem like a patrol report but more like a training seesion but whatever this little fact does not bother me. I moved from Battleship Strausberg to Battleship Moselle in the Braunschweig system for recruit and standard personal training. I would have to say to see our soldiers in training is bit embarrassing. But nevertheless I must complete the assigned given to me. I worked on the soldiers training them in flight combat and showed them different tactical advantages to which they could use. They learn fast, and I'am confident that the 2 soldiers I personally trained will be able to reach new heights of their abilities. I'am most impressed with Flieger Detler Fleisher combat skills, he can hold his ground and stand-up tall even when the odds are against him, and im sure the future will hold great things for this recruit. Another soldier I trained which is one of my proud wing-members is Feldwebel Gabriel Engel. He has a set Determination in himself to outdo and outsmart his opponents in combat, whether it involves trapping the enemy in a mine death field or destroying specific parts of an enemy ship, I can say Engel is a good and strong pilot and im sure he will be able to create his future with his uncanny wits. Now, I must return to my normal post aboard the Strausberg. That is all.
