Forge here.
Yesterday, I recieved a distress signal from Major Wolfe onboard the Tsiolkovsky while I was on Ronneburg. I immediertly scrambled my Revolution and headed for New Berlin with all possible speed. After arriving, Me, Major Wolfe, and a LRF pilot named Peter Tannor who offered his help, launched a plan.
Me and Tannor headed for Kruezberg depot. Waiting there, we proceeded to launch crusie disruptors at the Crusiers, stopping them cold and allowing the Tsiolkovsky to escape. We immedietly hit cruise and headed for Dresden, where the cruisers broke off.
Today:
Today was a bit more hectic. I launched the Stormfall to and Rendevoused with the Tsiolkovsky. Then, with RF pilots, we engaged Black Sails, who all ran into Cadiz's bosom. As capitals arrived, we did our best to take down the fighters. As the fight died for the first time, I RV'd with the Tsiolkovsky and arived in the clearing of Omega 5. Thats when we all fell back to Ronnenburg as Corsair Capitals began arriving. As they approached Ronnenburg, MM and Hessian forces engaged, ultimately with me drawing the fire from an osiris and a Corsair Gunboat to help free up some forces to assist the Tsiolkovksy's escape.
Next:
Then, as I was going through Stormfall, the Tsiolkovsky requested assitance. Lieutenant Villers immedetly prepped the Stormfall as I returned to the command center, and we launched. Upon patching into our secured frequencies, Militisya Pilot Olga Drsnovova and Lieutenant Alexandra Lebedewa were already on their way, with two Molly ships already assisting the Tsiolkovsky.
When the Stormfall arrived, we immedietly singled out a Bounty Hunter Bottlenose called Death In Vegas. We began launching Battle Razors at is as our fighter screen and the Tsiolkovksy began tearing up their snubcraft. The BAF bombers and two to three BAF fighters were destroyed before I was cut off from our forces by the Bottlenose, fighters, and the BRF|HMS-Endevour. We tried to make a break for it, being outgunned, but the Stormfall got hit and broke apart. We lost two crewmembers to the Endevour.
After returning to Ronnenburg, I accompanied Militisya Pilot Drsnovova for her Hispania Memorandum. Other than the dozens of battleships, dreadnoughts, and cruisers, a single Sabre chased us down, with Drsnovovoa launching a first strike and keeping the XTF pilot's shields down until she broke off. We entered Theta and hit cruise, finally returning to the Omegas. I stopped at Ronnenburg.
Omega 7:
I headed there to assit Hessian and the Tsiolkovksy. Unfortunetly two Rheinland Battleships severly dammaged the Tsiolkovksy, and two Rheinland Cruisers and a few fighters all focused on the Stormfall, marking another ill-fated voyage. The Tsiolkovksy managed to get us as it limped away. I don't think Doctor Foetsch will like that much.
Thank you sirs for the medal, but the true reward was doing something to help the Revolution.

Subject: Hispania
[font=Impact]Finally, the time has come for me to see the wreck of the Hispania.
Captain Forge was very kind to volunteer to escort me there, becouse we all know how dangerous the way is.
We have been lucky, we havent been spotted by anyone untill we got to omicron Alpha.
I could take a quick look at the Hispania, but our presence was noticed and the foolish outcasts fired very quickly as soon we got into their weapon range.
Still they cant match the technology of the coalition forces and they couldnt stop us getting away silently as we came.
We arrived in one piece to our wonderful home and docked on Zvezdny Gorodok.
Its a honour to fight and fly for the Almighty Coalition

Soldiers of the Coalition.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]I have completed a review of our awards system to make it much more clear what is expected of you. Completing certain tasks for the Coalition will ultimately earn you more than a simple raise in rank. I also remind you of the power which Commissar's hold over the entire fighter corps. Should a Commissar find any amount of insubordination, any amount of slacking or non-focus on your work - You will be summarily executed by them. They have my full authority in this regard.
[color=#FFFF00]Therefore, as of today. The following medals and awards are on offer, along with a change to what is expected of recruits before full acceptance into my Fighter Corps.
The following is required by the MIL Fleet before I even consider promoting you to Lieutenant.
Hispania Memorandum [color=#FFFFFF]Successfully complete a run to the Hispania, etching your name into the hull and uploading your voice onto its data recorder. Upon completion, this ribbon will be awarded.
Communist Combat 3rd Class [color=#FFFFFF]Upon successful verification of three confirmed kills, this ribbon will be awarded
The JiangXi Banner Successfully completing your trial on JiangXi. IE - Not dying.
Once you complete your initial training, the following awards are on offer to Lieutenants and Senior-Lieutenants.
Grey Star of the Coalition [color=#FFFFFF]Successfully achieve a tactical victory against the Coalitions enemies. Defined as 5 or more SCRA vessels completing a raid.
Communist Combat 2nd Class Upon successful verification of 10 confirmed kills, this ribbon will be awarded
Hammer and Sickle 3rd Class Upon successful verification of a donation to the SCRA banks of 50m credits, this ribbon will be awarded. Donations are vital to the flow of the Social Credit to the civilian population.
Red Star of the Coalition Awarded to those who have performed over and above that which has been expected of them in the tactical theatre, being that of defending the principles of the Coalition or in striking down our enemies.
Volgograd Banner Awarded to those who aspire to reach the rank of Captain. Successfully complete a winter training mission on Volgograd against superior numbers.
The following are on offer to those of Captain rank and above.
Shield of the Hammer Successfully protect a vessel of our Capital Ship Fleet against enemy attack whilst facing insurmountable odds. Whilst also on fire, armless and blind. This medal will be awarded in rare circumstances.
Hammer and Sickle 2nd Class Upon successful verification of a donation to the SCRA banks of 200m credits, this ribbon will be awarded. A donation of this size is vital to maintain our, and by this point your, capital ship.
Communist Combat 1nd Class Upon successful verification of 20 confirmed kills, this ribbon will be awarded
The Red Banner Awarded to those who have convinced a civilian, enemy or other to down tools, or drop their weapons and join my glorious fighter corps.
The following is only awarded under exceptional circumstances where quite frankly the impossible has been achieved.
Hero of the Revolution. Only ever awarded by the Premier to those he sees as completing an objective so impossible that it is worthy of enshrinement into history. It is not gained by performing certain acts on the Premier, nor is it awarded if you get him drunk.
Hammer and Sickle 1st Class Upon successful verification of a donation to the SCRA banks of 500m credits, this ribbon will be awarded. A donation of this size basically ensures receiving "The car keys".
Of course, spontaneous promotion for other good deeds and behaviour will also apply. As will exceptional awards of these and other honours. Conversely, your rank and award may be removed for other deeds and behaviour, as it always has done. I trust the above has been read and understood, I will answer any questions on a private frequency. Good hunting.

[color=#FFFFFF]Fellow Soliders.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]Again we proved that the BAF stand no chance when we ally with the Mollys.
[color=#FFFF00]With Captain Lebedewa, Captain Forge and Lt Minner in attendance, we headed to the Dublin system for our first proper patrol with the Mollys. There we found an Outcast affiliated pirate. He took no time at all to be destroyed. We then headed back to the main patrol area where we were met by an HMS patrol consisting of the HMS-Cambridge and HMS-Stratford. Both hugged the Battleship Essex and then made a run for it to New London. We managed to catch them, however it seemed the BAF had put together a strike force to push us out from Dublin. We held out for as long as we could in New London before having to pull back to Dublin. Bounty Hunters and more BAF fighters joined the ruck - Even being supplied by BMM miners to keep themselves alive. After more than an hour of fighting, Our small patrol managed to bring in reinforcements in the form of Lt Drsnovova. However the BAF brought in more and more pilots. Eventually we had to withdraw with our only casualty - The resident crash test dummy of ejection pods - Captain Forge.
The Molly's have shown they are worthy allies. I suggest starting full scale peace talks and to get a treaty in place. I invite the rest of the patrol wing to put their own slant on this tactical victory. It was a very good fight.
With this new award system, you can see I have three confirmed kills. Commandant Ling - That makes Communist Combat Class 3 already dui? *he laughs*

Comrades,
Major Xu already reported about the New London part of today, but I had the pleasure to meet a pilot of the Bretonia Armed Forces, one of the secondary fleet.
He was not very nice and wanted to kick me out of Dublin, I have to admit that he almost succeeded with it, but he somehow managed to blow himself up with his own CDs.
Poor boy...
Anyways, I headed to New London to support Major Xu against our enemies, I will only add some pictures to his report.
The fight continued in Dublin, most of our forces already left the battle to repair their combat ships, I stayed with the Mollys to fight the remaining BAF fighters. We were few but we were able to deal a lot of damage to them untill our fighters returned to the battle.
We managed to take two BAF fighters down and started to retreat slowly after that.

[color=#FFFFFF]Soldiers of the Coalition.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]Be upstanding for Captain Lebedewa and Major Xu for attaining Communist Combat 3rd Class.
[color=#FFFF00]Major Xu, this is no laughing matter. Do your duty and oblierate our enemies. I will not remind you again.
Captain Lebedewa, I look forward to further kills from yourself.
Oh I neglected to mention the incentive. *he smirks evily*
I will not turn us into the Bounty Hunters Guild, or mercenaries or guns for hire. What these awards will do however is provide an incentive to kill. Incentives to bring about the revolving credit, and further sharpen your focus in battle. I expect those credits to be spent upgrading the tools of the Coalition. Do your duty.

Guten Tag Comrades.
I am pleased to report yet another successful fielding of the CPW-Tsiolkovsky. Together with Molly and Coalition Forces, we managed to inflict tremendous damage. The first batch included a Bretonia Gunboat that foolishly charged the Tsiolkovsky, and fell victim to it's decimating firepower.
The second, a Bottlenose was not an easy target, managing to dodge most of the Tsiolkovsky's weaponry. However, several missile hits were successful, and eventually crippled the thruster of the Bottlenose, making it an easy victim to finish off.
A Mafic was also destroyed, as it drifted for far too long, making it yet another victim of the Tsiol's devastating Battleship Turrets.
In the second skirmish, we had the assistance of a large number of Molly Scylla Cruisers. Together, we managed to down multiple Snubcraft.
The real prize of that conflict, however, was decimating the Bretonia Primary Fleet Battleship, HMS-Majestic. A glorious victory.
Together, Comrades. We will create a stronger Dublin. A Dublin that supports the Coalition.

Comrades,
Today we managed to deal heavy damage to the Bretonia Armed Forces in the Omega-3 systems, we assisted the Mollys in their battle against them. Our enemy had two Battleships, equipped with both anti-capital and anti-fighter weapons and one Destroyer in combination with a group of Templars and they also got help from the Bounty Hunters.
Major Wolfe took me, Lieutenants Minner and Drsnovova into the battlefield, while we received assistance from Freelancers, who proved to be quite useful in their gunboats. The battle was located in an wide area from Douglas station up to ten klicks to the Freeport.
Major Wolfe called the targets and we started to slowly cripple their forces, focusing on the weaker targets first. I was not even surprised when they started to run to their Battleships to search for cover. Cowards will always stay cowards, but well their methods failed most of the time.
The battle went on for quite some time and we slowly decimated their numbers with our allies, the good part was that we only lost few ships, none from ours by the way.
Here is a list of shot down vessels:
BAF|242nd-Ens.Denime was killed by [M]-One.Sock.Billie (Gun)
BAF|Ens.Aron.Kronosis was killed by SCRA|Olga.Drsnovova (Wasp/Hornet)
BAF|Ens.Pete.Stacker was killed by Around.The.World (Gun)
BHG|Jason.Robertson was killed by SCRA|Otto.Wolfe (Gun)
BAF|Capt.Evyn was killed by Around.The.World (Gun)
Dave.Johnson was killed by Vociferor (Gun)
Simple.Mining.Vessel was killed by SCRA|Hans.Minner (Gun)
Major Wolfe ordered the retreat afte we realized that we did not have the firepower to face the Battleships, so we made our way back home without losses on our side.
