Today we had the pleasure of getting visited by the Liberty Navy, this time it was a medium sized fleet, some Dreadnoughts, but mostly cruisers and no snubcraft as escort. On our side we had one Battleship and a couple of cruisers with enough bombers to counter the threat.
The battle took place in the middle of the Westfalen-Hudson Jumpgate tradelane, our bombers played their role and used their nova torpedos, while our capital ships gave them the rest. Not a single capital ship of the Liberty Navy managed to escape and we received minimal losses.

Guten Tag verehrte Damen und Herren
Heute was an attack in Humburg launched by zje Libertorians. I launched from zhe Westfalen and made my way towards the Hudson gate. Though, i didn't come 'till zhere. There had already a scouting group arrived and prohibeted my plan. Zhe Rheinland carrier arrived short after zhe rest of the yankees had jumped. Zhe fun had started.
Zhe first to fall was one of zhe Guardians and followed by a streek of Gunboats as soon as our bombers arrived. We didn't even had to concentrate, though most of zhe enemy capitals managed to get away before the row came to zhem.
We followed zhem into Hudson where one dread had fallen back. Zhe bombers wrapped it up and sent it towards the sun corona. Zher nervs of all escort fighter pilots fell down to a maximum at zhat point and ran away.

Guten tag Agent,
I'm glad to hear something from you and your agents. I was about to call the Marinenachrichtendienst back from the Omegas. It reminds me you still owe me a report about the "Coalition forces in the Omegas". I requested that report long time ago, may I know the reason why I haven't received anything since then?
Signed,
Admiral Joachim Landers,
Oberkommando des Rheinland Militärs.

Guten tag.
Today we had fine battle in Texas. The action started in Hamburg system, when we recived information about Liberty fleet in Texas system, possibly, preparing to strike. Our forces were already assembeled at planet Hamburg. The dicision was taken to perform counter strike. I didnt take this decision.
There was MND ship, so it took a recon part. I had to take command over fighgters. I did as I saw in previouse engages- fighters first and then heavy warships.
MND agent reported Liberty Navy positions- they had unorganised formation, or better to say, they had no formation at all, and all of them were standing in area between Planet Houston and stationary battleship.
Everyone verstanden, that striking them near Houston could give bad resoult. Noone had any plan of action, so I remembered my first Texas fight, and gave idea to fly around Houston and strike on JG to NY system. While we havent enough forces for position fight at Houston, we had good chances to loor them away form their cover, so, fleet moved to JG, in shadow side of planet Houston.
MND and one of our cruiser decided to track attention of Navy, while our main fleet was flying around. Fortunatly, they Liberty Navy focused all their attention on our cruiser, and fleet succesfully reached JG.
I ordered to take formation, clouse to which was in my first raid. We took down Liberty Dreadnought, while our cruiser managed to kill gunship and liberty cruiser.
Then hige ranked officiers arrived with reinf. and took comand over fleet.
He lead our forces in main battle, and we won.
It was my 3rd Texas battle.
Ya, I do verstanded, that I made a miztake. We had should to wait for higer officier and reort about planing action. But... In my last patrol, with zis outcast destroyer and slawe on its bord... our reinf came to late and it was to small. So I decied to do what I could in this battle, because Liberty Navy get more reinf and strike us. But it wont happens again.

Major Hermann, Kommandant of the Kreuzer Altenau reporting in,
Our forces attacked the Texas system at 1953 hours Sirius time. After some minor repairs and replacement of a few crew members, the Altenau docked off from Alster shipyard at 2014 and headed to the Texas system.
In Texas, our fleet was gathered near the New York jump gate, avoiding contact with the main Libertonian forces near planet Houston. There were 6 Bismarck class battleship, 3 Elbe class carriers, some cruisers and a few fighters/bombers. I were taking command of the cruisers and ordered an assault on Planet Houston. The fleet reached the planet by 14 clicks from the north, where our battleships formed a line with the carriers.
The cruisers with my lead, approached the main libertonian fleet and started the bombardment. When the fleet got away from the Mississippi and from each other, the wall moved in and struck the fleet. All enemy capital ships were destroyed near the planet, on our side, we lost a cruiser and a bomber.
I'm really satisfied about the performance of our capital vessel kommandants and every single soldat, who served on our ships. Victory is ours!

Guten tag.
Das ist my first patrol after promotion to Gefreiter. I started in Hamburg system and then moved to New Berlin system. Everithing was to be alright. At Bonn station I found AI cruiser class capital ship. I asked standart questions: What iz he's the buisnes here in Rheinland und who gave him permizzion to fly zuch big capital vessel.
Zhip's AI ansvered me... attempt to comminicate with ship crew (10 space ship crew and 3 Civilian piloten) haz no rezoult.
De answer waz about to studying... of... not harming.
Ja, I do verstanden, that zis sounds strange, I had same fillings back there. About reztriction of foreign capitalen vessels in Rheinland Teretorry, it, ofcourse, had no information.
But there was a part of a Nomad fighter on board. Zat can lead to decision- Zis ship probably came from Omicron sector systemz. Fast scanning for trace of Biohazard materialen or particles was negative. Remains zeemz to be in locked container, und zhip was "clean". AI told zat it could not relice zis nomad remaince in space near inhabitant objects like station or inhabitant planeten. I had to agree with it.
Soon after, frau Braun resposed to my call and arrived at Bonn ztation. Zhe told all necessary information to AI. I was a voulantier to ezcorten AI cruiser outzide of Rheinland space. I asked to return Civilian piloten back, AI transferned them to me. But it could not tranzfer a alien materialz to me. AI told that he will come back.

Guten Tag verehrte Damen und Herren
Gestern was a busy and difficult day for meinen Wraith. I started my patrol in Braunschweigen where i launched towards New Berlin. Reaching my destination i couldn't believe my eyes. Zhere were two enemy Schlachtschiffe flying on impulse towards zhe planet. I immediately called for help, because evidently i couldn't do much against them in a solo fighter. Zhe enemies turned towards Brandenburg when zhe reinforcements arrived, among which were some Unioner bombers.
Zhe Schlachtschiffe were destroyed quickly by zhe New Berlin guard but zhe Unioners turned on us as soon as it was over. Zhere my Wraith was of direct use, though shortly after zhe first one of zhem went down i heard an extremely loud noise in my cockpit and before i could react my escape pod ejected. The automated technology payed out, because only a split second after i was out zhe Wraith exploded, destroyed by a friendly cruiser missile.
At least zhe captain of said cruiser tractored me in so i could shout at him personally.

I have just been cleared of the first batch of tests by the doctors here and am pleased to report everything is alright so far. I have been granted five minutes to quickly send out this message. Once I am fully cleared I will fill out the full report on the Nomad encounter. I also need to figure out how to raise the encryption level, what I have to report is... disturbing to say the least.
Wish me a speedy recovery as the information I have may prove to be vital. Again I wish to thank both Admiral Landers and the captain of RNC-Wolfsburg, without them I'd probably be lost.

[color=#FFFFFF] Guten tag meine Kolleginnen und Militär
I have finally been cleared of all the tests and am ready to continue active duty.
As promised here is my recollection of my encounter with the blue demon. A group of Primary fleet pilots, including myself and Admirals Rall and Landers, had just returned to Braunschweig after a routine patrol. Some pilots signed off whereas others including myself were keen to do some training, especially with Admirals present.
While going about the business of training, we were disturbed by a strange signal which seemed to cover the entire system. Many of the lower ranking members, including myself were extremely confused, but not the Admirals. They knew almost instantly what it was... a Nomad.
We thought nothing of it and continued to train. Once the training session was completed most of the piloten signed off and landed onboard the Moselle. I however decided to make one last quick check of the Hamburg system. This is where things start to become strange... As I was about to enter the tradelane, I heard a voice in my head. I couldn't tell what it was saying but while I was trying to figure it out, it took control. I was put into a kind of trance, I was no longer in my Wraith. I was in a field of orange grass. This field went on for miles and miles, and this orange grass smelt incredible.
In the trance, I picked some of this grass and the voice returned, it told me to eat the grass. I did... It made me feel invincible kommaraden, my eyesight was like that of an eagle and I had the strength of a Rheinland Battleship. I began to run, I was as fast as light itself. But then the feeling of euphoria vanished and I was back to normal. The voice was going crazy in my head, saying, "MORE MORE MORE". The voice also kept on repeating, "power, knowledge, strength". I picked up some more of this orange grass and it transformed into what appeared to be a cuvvet oozing a mysterious purple liquid. I tried some of this liquid and its effects made the plain grass seem like absolutely nothing! It was a thousand times more potent. The voice came back, this time clearer than ever before, it said, "CARDIMINE!! Liquid cardimine, embrace the gift".
Thankfully the trance was then broken by my comms systems going wild, Admiral Landers was trying to contact me. My head felt like an exploding volcano and it was difficult to reply. The Admiral managed to track my ship to somewhere in the Südheide field. As he arrived he greeted me and I told him what had happened. I was very traumatized by the whole experience. The Admiral sent out an emergency request for a medical unit to come to our position. RNC-Wolfsburg responded to the call and was there in minutes. I was ordered to shut down all of my systems and lock them with a random password. The captain of the Wolfsburg was then able to hack my ship and gained control. The Admiral sent us on the Planet Hamburg. Once I was on the ground I was taking into the care of Hamburg Military Hospital.
Now, I know that "cardimine" is what the Outcasts deal in and I know it to be a very dangerous and addictive drug. I have never heard of it coming in a liquid form before... We need to be on the look out for this substance, weaker minded men would kill for those feelings. This incident also leads me to believe that the Outcasts may be linked with the Nomads somehow. The Outcasts are the only people I know of that deal in the substance. Perhaps the Nomads got it from them? I shall look into to it mein Herren.
I thought the Hessians and the Libertorians were bad enough, now it turns out the rumors of these demons are true... God help us. I want to do everything I can to protect against this threat, I feel I can better handle an encounter, next time.
