First of all, my ship computer seems to be damaged in some way, as it neither stores the guncam shots I take nor does it save a backup from the communication logs. Therefor, this report is being submitted in plain text format, with no attachments to neither of the aforementioned additions.
Starting a patrol with Major Sittlingen, from Hamburg system and moving to New Berlin, we came in contact with a member of WRF Alpha wing, who joined our patrol. The first two systems were strangely quiet, countering no notable threat along the lanes, so Herr Major decided to take the patrol wing to Stuttgart. Stopping at battleship Karlsruhe to refuel and resupply, we took the lane to planet Baden Baden, just to encounter a wing of three unlawful vessels sitting at the lane. There were two [RHA] ships and an LWB| one present at our location.
Following the orders issued by Major Sittlingen himself, we engaged the hostiles and as the fight progressed, I managed to drag one of the [RHA] ships out of the main fight and engage him in a one versus one, which was rather close and challenging, but keeping the lead in the fight by just a few nanobots, I was about to destroy that one Hessian for good, at which point he seemed to have called for help as the other two pilots on the unlawful side also switched target on me. Obviously, being nearly dry from the fight, and getting caught off-guard before realizing I was the group's target, I lost the remaining of my repair materials supply, and deciding not to waste the group's nanobots, I manually ejected in the escape pod right before my ship was completely destroyed.
Gladly, the member of WRF alpha wing was quick with the tractor and I was returned to New Berlin in my pod. However, as mentioned earlier, seems my connection to the Militar database had some issues and no guncams or comm logs from the files was saved when I later checked them for use on this report.

Today, I joined Admiral Weissman in a routine patrol, which turned out to be something other than what we usually deal with during such patrols. Deciding to start the patrol from our northern system, Hamburg, and moving toward the southern ones, we moved to planet Hamburg but before starting the actual patrol, we received words from one of the close-by Polizei patrols regarding the TLAGSNET logs of a =LSF= vessel using the Bering gate in Hamburg.
Being the closest ships to the gate, we moved out immediately, managing to intercept the vessel in Bering. After being questioned, the =LSF= pilot claimed to have come to Hamburg system to destroy a "blockade-runner", but his faked reason being too obvious, Herr Admiral issued an order to arrest said pilot. Of course, the pilot tried to make a run for Texas but managing to cut him off again before he could use the lanes in Texas, I was ordered to destroy the vessel to make sure any and all intel that lone scout might have collected in our space does not make it to their HQ.
As the vessel was nearly destroyed, the pilot retreated back to Bering. His motives at first seemed rather unclear but soon after, as a Guardian-class Navy vessel arrived at our location, it was obvious enough the =LSF= was just trying to buy some time until his backup arrives. However, petty backup they had sent him turned out to be of no real threat and both ships were neutralized before they could make it back to Liberty space.
Returning to Rheinland space, I returned to Strausberg immediately to resupply my craft and submit this report.

Based on these recent sightings of Liberty vessels deep inside Rheinland space, one could assume these are not all just a coincidence, and there actually is something those Libertonians are trying to do. Today, soon after I started my patrol, I spotted a bomber class Liberty Navy ship on the far side of Potsdam. The pilot was refusing to respond to my hails and instead was trying his best to make an escape, which didn't work.
Soon after I engaged that vessel, the pilot - for some reason - decided to drag the fight straight into the New Berlin orbit, and strangely enough, the automatic defense system on Krupp seemed not to recognize that vessel as hostile, because there was not even a single shot fired at that vessel from any of the Krupp weapon platforms. The strangest part however, was when the Navy pilot started shooting unsuspecting civilians with no forewarning. One of the two ships he attacked was a new pilot in a CSV, who managed to make it out alive, and the other was a cruise liner belonging to the OS&C.
This clear act of terrorism, especially considering the fact that there were more than 3,000 passengers on said liner, clearly shows the Libertonians have resorted to methods in desperately trying to win this war, which is well below what a sane human being of any affiliation would ever do. In the end, as the vessel was nearly destroyed, with the hull already in flames, the pilot decided to attempt a crash land on New Berlin, which he couldn't have actually made with the status his ship was in, but still just in case, I've marked the approx sector he attempted to crash land in, so our ground units can make sure nothing from that ship made it way to the planet surface.

This report, again, contains sightings of Liberty Navy vessels deep inside Rheinland space.
Receiving reports from Battleship Schwerin regarding multiple SCRA| vessels within the system, we assembled a squadron led by Major Sittlingen, containing myself, Feldwebel Braun as well as Gefreiters Kreutzer and Von Limburg, we were about to move out to Omega-15 system through Dresden when Gefreiter Braun - Who was moving to Strausberg from Hamburg to rendezvous with the rest of the squad - was ambushed by two Navy vessels, a Light Fighter and a Bomber. So, moving out to eliminate the hostiles who were near the Hamburg gate in New Berlin, we managed to finish them off rather quickly and regroup at Strausberg to head to Omega-15.
Moving out to Dresden on our way to Omega-15, we encountered a Hessian vessel at the lane to Bautzen. Following Major Sittlingen's command, I engaged the Hessian who turned out to be a rookie, and managed to destroy the vessel in no time, even though the pilot tried making a run toward Giftnebel. After the Hessian ship was destroyed, I moved out toward Omega-15 jumphole to regroup with the rest of our squad, and there, right after the group jumped, I caught a [RHA]SOA- vessel jumping to Dresden from Omega-15, who turned out to be in chase of a [51st] vessel retreating from the fight with SCRA| to repair and resupply.
Reporting the situation to Major Sittlingen, I was ordered to cover the retreat of the [51st] ship, and then rejoin the group near Schwerin, so keeping the [RHA] vessel occupied until the [51st] ship was at a safe distance, I made the jump to Omega-15. Unfortunate for him, the [RHA] pilot had decided to follow, and found himself outnumbered and outgunned right after the jump. Having to move out to help our forces against the SCRA|, Major Sittlingen ordered me to get rid of the [RHA] and then rejoin our squad for the main fight against the SCRA|. Doing as I was ordered, the [RHA] ship - Which proved to be more of a threat than the last two hostiles we had encountered on our way to the system - was destroyed, and by the time I had refilled and refueled the ship to move to the sector of the fight, it turned out the SCRA| forces had decided to retreat and my presence was not required anymore.
Returning to Schwerin, I picked up a LWB| vessel, who - unsurprisingly enough for a former farmer - decided to run instead of actually fighting. After a long chase, he finally headed toward Dresden jumphole, where one of the [51st] ships offered to take my spot in the chase. So, seeing the situation resolved, I returned to Schwerin with Major Sittlingen's permission to have the minor damage done to my ship repaired, and also fill this report.
Guten tag.
Yesterdays patrol started from planet Hamburg. While at planet Hamburg i decided to check all incoming and out going trade as to catch any smuggler.
After a while Feldwebel Adrian Wiesen and Gefreiter Limburg joined the patrol, Wiesen ordered an RV at battleship Strausberg. Once we got there, we got intel that an large concentration of SCRA forces have been sighted in Omega-15.
As the fighters were scrambled, both Feldwebel Sarah Braun and Major Sittlingen joined up with us. However, Feldwebel Braun was ambushed by two liberty pilots on her way to the RV, we then went to her position and destroyed the enemy ships.
We then continued into the Dresden system and headed towards the omega-15 jumphole. On our way there we ran into an Hessian that was dispatched rather quickly by Feldwebel Wiesen.
When we entered Omega-15, we confirmed the presence of an SCRA fleet. They were already engaged by some Hessian pilots, but they retreated towards the omega-41 jumphole. Feldwebel Braun and some RNC had intecepted the retreating fleet. Major sittlingen then ordered me and Gefreiter Limburg to join up with Feldwebel Braun and engage the hostiles. As me and Limburg got to the location, the fighting had already begun. We targeted an lone Hessian bomber pilot, but as he was about to be destroyed he engaged an cloaking device and is assumed to have fled the scene.
About this time there were only an lone SCRA fighter pilot left, their main fleet had fled through the omega-41 jumphole. And while Major sittlingen ordered the battleship Vesuvius to hold his fire on the lone fighter, he keept the battleships guns fireing and finally destroyed the fighter with his battleship.
To think that the captain of the battleship cant even handle an simple order, how did he even become an captain of such a vessel in the first place.
We then returned towards the Dresden jumphole. I then docked for repairs and restocking ammunition.
it has been some time since my last full report. That's not because I wasn't patrolling much within the Rheinland core space, but to blame the low lane traffic activity, Rheinland suffers currently. But that might be my personal point of view anyways. Nun, to list a few mentionable events of the last weeks: We suffered rather large wastings of Turtles to the bordering warzone, Texas. I'm calling it a waste because none of these assaults were lead by a high-ranked Miltary pilot. However, I've heard that they shot down a few Libertonians as well. Myself, I've often had to undergo the consequences, when the Liberty forces launched counterattacks. Where my bomber often faced the hostile heavy fleet all alone in Hamburg. To their disadvantage, Hamburgs planet defense systems are working well.
Secondly we experienced high Corsair activity in Omega-15 the other day. But together with the Forseti and excellent tactical skills, we were able to eliminate their fleet without any higher losses. One shooting of myself is attached from the archives.
Thirdly we had two encounters with the Communists from the Omegas, the Coalition. One time also in Omega-15 near the Omega-41 jumphole, where the enemy had no chance against a unbelievably high amount of Rheinland capital vessels, who were - against our Admiral's repeated orders - engaging their fighter squads, after they already outnumbered the hostile capitals. Such a waste of ressource shouldn't be tolerated in the future I'd say. And I'd like to remind you of our right to execute soldiers through death penalty, in case they disobey orders. Especially when given from our Admiral.
Lastly, some updated situation from yesterday evening. Gunter Rall and me decided to have a patrol in Stuttgart and Omega-7, when we came across a Corsair gunboat, an independent mercenary and a Red Hessian Jormungand at the Omega-3 gate. It was clear, that our first priority was the capital ship. And so we engaged it, since he wasn't responding to us nor moving. Oddly enough the Corsair and Freelancer supported us. Though, I won't comment on that. Unfortunately, the Hessian was jumping to Omega-3 when he noticed, that he won't survive this fight. So I made it quick and followed him. There arrived, out of a sudden, Rall's Wraith got penetrated by two sleazy... missiles, coming from the Hessian. In a rush, I saved his escape pod and called for capital support. Minutes later, and after dodging a thousands of other sleazy... missiles, a helpful capital pilot destroyed the dry Jormungand near Aland. After this was done, we returned to Karlsruhe, where Gunther and me... uhm. Ja, this was all for the patrol report. A few guncam pictures are attached below.

Yester days patrol started from Battleship Altenburg in the Dresden system. I started to check the lanes in the system and found them clear. On my way trough the jump gate to New Berlin my scanners picked up an hessian fighter coming towards my position.
The hessian was identified to be [RHA]Falk.Hermann, he was in my opinion rather delirious when claiming that the system was hessian territory.
After some word exchange he engaged and i answered in kind.
It ended with me as the last man standing.
I then continued into New Berlin and restocked on ammunition and bots, after checjing the lanes i headed towards the Hamburg jumpgate where Gefreiter Limburg joined up with me and we continued into the Hamburg system.
As we took place at Planet Hamburg to scan the traffic, we caught an freelancing transport captain with the name Razz, trying to carry goods into Liberty.
He admited that he was indeed headed into Liberty and that he had no idea about any embargo. However as he was very cooperative i re-routed him and gave him a fine.
Shortly after, we got word from Major General Rall that there was reports of corsair activity in the Frankfurt system. Me, Major General Rall and an secondary pilot Zwietracht went to the system and began an search.
While searching, we got an distress call from Gefreiter Limburg that he had made hostile contact with an hessian id as [RHA]Alvin.Richter in New Berlin and we cancelled the search and went to New Berlin to support Gefreiter Limburg.
Unfortunatly Gefreiter Limburg's ship was destroyed, but his pod was picked by me. Major General Rall decided to take on the hessian himself.
As me and the secondary pilot was standing by an pirate appeared and actually tried to pirate me. But Major General Rall ordered the secondary pilot to engage the pirate id as Kill.that.tag .
After some fighting, both targets was destroyed.
I then docked on planet New Berlin.

Feldwebel Adrian Wiesen reporting in,
Today I performed a routine patrol through the regular trade routes, and everything seemed to be as calm as it can get around Rheinland. My patrol started from Leipzig station in Dresden system, moving toward the New Berlin gate through lanes. The unusual quiet in the system hopefully implies that Corsairs and Hessians are ripping each other apart somewhere down in Omegas, outside of our space. After moving to New Berlin, a patrol through lanes from Dresden gate to Brandenburg, and from there to Bonn station, Dortmund Station and finally Planet New Berlin was performed.
Taking the lane to Frankfurt jumpgate, and entering the system, scanners were still showing a full green surrounding. However, midway through the lane to Mainz Storage Facility, scanners picked up a hostile ship, probably snub-class, identified as Bundschuh approximately 8 klicks away from the lane ring. Needless to say, the pilot attempted to flee soon as I dropped out of the lane, but as the hostile vessel was already on cruise any further pursuit would have been pointless because the ship was out of range before cruise engines on my ship were even fully charged.
Further on to the Munich system, the system was - apart from the traffic to Augsburg Orbital Colony - secured and quiet. At which point, after reaching Regensburg I turned my ship around, returning to Frankfurt system, and with no emergency in Sigma-13, I decided to head straight back to Strausberg. However, once near Mannheim I encountered the aforementioned Bundschuh vessel again, and it just turned out to be a rookie with a transponder malfunction. So the pilot was notified of this malfunction and the issue was resolved, after which I reached Strausberg through the quiet lanes and ended my patrol.

SUBMITTER:Fähnrich Adrian Wiesen RECIPIENT:Rheinwehr Secured Comm-Link SUBJECT:Recent Attack on Hamburg [18]
The Libertonians have started their assault on Hamburg again, and we had to counter another one of their battlegroups this time. We were called in to find a Carrier, two Battlecruisers, a Siege Cruiser, a Gunboat and three snubcraft not far from the Hamburg orbit. Needless to say, we were attacked soon as we reached anywhere near the planet and under command of Major Sittlingen, we managed to repel this latest Libertonian attack like the previous ones.
Due to lack of capital support on our side, we did not manage to disable every single Liberty ships present, and a small group managed to flee, but three snubcraft, a gunboat, as well as a carrier got disabled during the fight, and I personally managed to score one kill - Destroying one of the enemy bombers; And after the aforementioned ships were destroyed, rest of the group retreated back to Hudson system, and making sure Hamburg system is clear, we were ordered to return to base to repair and resupply.
Hopefully we won't be seeing more of those attacks from now on.
I started my patrol from Battleship Moselle and went on into the New Berlin system where i did a sweep of the system, thesystem was found clear and no reports of hostile activity.
I then continued into the Dresden system, this sytem was also quiet with no hostile activity.
I continued to the Stuttgart system and did a sweep, also this system were quiet today.
After that i decided to patrol the Omega-7 system. This system was quiet as well, so i went to planet Stuttgart and docked.
Summary: Rheinland was quiet and peaceful during this patrol.
Incidents: None
