Guten tag
It feels good to be back on solid ground. I am also looking forward to fly with my new wraith. After this hell trip in Sigma-13 I had a lot time to think about it. It was my first foreign mission and i failed at an ion storm, what a shame.
My Wraith is totally destroyed and I had luck that i am still alive.
The doctor said I have suffered dehydration and a shock.
I also have to stay a few days for observation in the clinic. This gives me some time to write my report:
Patrol Report - 01:
About two days ago i had the order to meet with a squadron at Fulda in Frankfurt.
Previously we had salvaged an unusual artifact. I was not informed about what exactly it is, only that the KNF would be interested in it.
We jumped to Sigma-13, directly into an massive ion storm. The first wave was harmless. I and Flieger Julia Maur took the trade lane, as another ion storm reached the jump gate and caught the rest of the squad.
We lost the contact with the squadron and waited at Naha for further orders, as suddenly another ion storm hit us.
My radar was immediately useless and I saw Fräulein Maur flying into the nebula.
I decided to follow and help her, but then we were separated in the fog.
Regrettably I realized later, that my primary power relays are overcharged.
So I had no radar and no navigation systems.
As if that were not bad enough, I also flew into a gas bubble. The main power failed and i had to switch to emergency power. I also tried to recover the lost systems ... unsuccessfully. The computer refused all my commands and one system after another fell out. At least I had enough energy to keep up the life support a few days.
After two days I was able to call help via the com systems.
Fortunately, one KNF officer named Sk.Yuji.Kobayakawa found me and forwarded my coordinates to a rescue team. Gefreiter Albert.Holst and Gefreiter Geoff.Enfield came first and tried to
encourage me.
Shortly thereafter I must have lost consciousness by the heat and lack of oxygen in the ship.
When I woke up, I saw that the primary energy, live support and the engines were online again.
However, the computer still refused my commands, so the repair ship DHC-Repair_Ship_001 had to pull me out of that bubble via a tractor beam.
After we reached Frankfurt, I was taken directly into a hospital where I was examined by a nurse.
- At around 8Dark50 SMT ;
A distress call from Gefreiter Albert Holst was picked up by my intercom. First information I got was that a group Hessians had been spotted near Bonn, New Berlin system. The Gefreiter was outnumbered. I left from Moselle one minute after.
- At around 8Dark53 SMT ;
Near Dortmund, I came across a civilian Gunboat captain of Daumann named Hans. His ship was the DHC-Frustereated. His aid will revealed to be precious. We both heared the same distress call. On our way to Bonn, his radar spotted a response on the screen twenty kliks below plane and forward. We proceeded to the closest intercept.
- At around 8Dark55 SMT ;
The hyper-luminal interuption of the fourth trade lane leaded me to battle zone in an instant. A wing of Hessians was indeed occupying the lane. I have no information regarding what has happened before my arrival but when I arrived, Isaw Albert beeing hit by a Odin. I therefor proceeded to intercept and destroy the bandits.
The ennemy forces were composed of Ulrich Weiss from the RHA with his Odin. 2 pilots from a wing called the [G-41] composed of a certain Anna Manshtein and a Hans Muller. That wing obviously is part of the Hessian army and were flying Odins. This needs to be confirmed. Another Hessian flying a VHF was to be seen as well : Wilgelm Tarkin. In addition, one Hessian cruiser was seen : The Dieb from the Assassin. And, the last contact was a RHL ship, flew by G. Hess. Meyer. No information on that ship could be picked as the battle started.
Our forces were composed of Albert Holst and I from the Rheinwehr. The DHC Gunboat mentioned before, the Wraith from Valkyrie-1 and Adam Cinderheim, no info on his ship. And at last was the RNC-Buchenberg.
- At around 9Dark00 SMT ;
I’m afraid what follows in the report is based on impressions rather than visual fact. I believe the battle zone split up in two different areas. One with capital ships and the other with VHF. I do not detain informations on the second battle zone. But I assume that it went well as the gunboats came back quickly. Afterwhile, one of my sidewinder eliminated Ulrich Weiss from the RHA and Captain Hans of DHC shoted down 3.
- At around 9Dark20 SMT ;
The batlle turn into our advantage as the ennemy was fleeing. A last attempt of the G-41 to concentrate fire on the Frustereated failed as the image recording of my black box shows. The chase against the last standing Hans Muller from the G-41 leaded us to the asteroid fields nearby.
- At around 9Dark30 SMT ;
As we were pursuing Muller, something strange happened. We were hitted by an far artillery fire. Most obviously, those shells were mortar. My radar couldn’t pick anything. Mostly cloacked, this war ship has the advantage upon us. This broke our chase of Muller and put us in a rather delicate situation. Beeing hit by mortars of unknown origin in an asteroid field isn’t recommanded. I setted course back to Strausberg to reload ammo and ended the flight.

Guten Tag High Command. I have a successful report on hand. New Hampshire battle operation lead by the Carrier [RM]-Forseti achieved outstanding results. To begin with we entered the New Hampshire system at 09:00, where we happen to find a few drug shipping Freelancers, that were using fake IFF to smuggle goods to Liberty. Thankfully they cooperated with us and jettsoned their cargo which was destroyed. How ever to the mercy of the Komandant of the Forseti the Freelancers were let go, and unfined, "Luckly for them". Anyway, our first task was to seek and destroy local hostile battle patrols. We were able to capture serveral Liberty Pilots, that ranged from Gunboat Captins, Cruiser Commanders, and even a rear Admiral of a Dreadnought. These captured prisoners of war have already been sent to Vierland Station for interrogation. With our operations in Liberty space, a Navy Battlegroup was formed in response to our presense. It was a large conflict but with useful bomber support and superior Rheinland tactics we destroyed the bulk of their Fleet. Afterwards we counter-attacked the enemy but to our dismay the [RM]-Forseti was heavily damaged and abandoned during the counter attack. The crew was saved and the wreckage was toaded back to our lines. The Ship will soon be brought to a repair station and be brought back online in due time. I must say with the failure of out counter-attack the battle seems to be a draw. But it was in our favor counting the huge losses suffered by the Liberty Navy.

After some complaints from trade ships, about Junkers piracy in New Berlin, I decided to do a patrol around the area, because normally I fly in the Rheinland border systems.
The tag started In Hamburg, when I arrived the space, the polizei ha some Junkers readings in the New Berlin area, but once I got to there the scanners of our brave polizei had nothing to report.
Then I continued with my patrol for all the systems of our beautiful Rheinland. I ended up stumbling upon an IDF transport and escort him to Koeln.
Summarizing despite many complaints in the last days, has not been possible within the time of my patrol find any pirate. The security of the systems have been confirmed by all the traders I founded who had reported no pirates around, but i must say that all of them confirm the last days problems.
I suggest more attention by the polizei in the area, I believe that their mere presence is enough to keep out pirates. This will give more time for the military to carry out their functions.
At last. I just dock at the Bonn station. Lt Hikosaka Hebel is in the area.

Patrol Report - 02:
Guten tag
Today I had the order to meet some officers at Bonn. I left the trade lane at Planet New Berlin when suddenly a Red Hessian cruiser named Shtrahen appeared and behaved strangely. I think it's not usually that Hessians park their toys directly in the orbit of Planet New Berlin. Maybe he was just tired of life?
Anyway, when he saw me he tried to escape, then I followed him and called reinforcement.
Thanks to my computer, I was able to calculate the exact course of the ship.
His destination was Kreuzberg Depot. I forwarded the coordinates to the attacking team. [RM-RNC]Adlerauge and [RM]-Fl.Norbert.Wiener moved into position in the Ruhr field where we intercepted the enemy cruiser. Nun, the Shtrahen is now part of the scrap field and the Junkers will be pleased to collect its parts.

Subject – Pilot Report Guten Abend,
The secret operation "Stealing From A Thief" has been successful. The junker has been dealt with, and the database has been acquired and brought to New Berlin by the Gigant.
The mission has started with a wing of 4 primary fleet snubs and the Behemoth "Gigant" moving to Augsburg. The station was locked down, traffic rerouted and area secured. A Bundschuh gunboat has assaulted our forces, but was quickly taken down. A freelancer gunboat that our forces received some hits from has also been taken out quickly after.
Meanwhile, the marines have boarded the station and managed to get to the room where our agent aswell as the junker were having the deal. The junker was arrested, but Bundschuh sympathisants and affiliates opened fire on the forces, and had to defend themselves. The station was flooded with their kind, and the marines found themselves surrounded. However, a quick task force under my lead managed to give them the space they require by using a remaining piece of ammunition to blow the rear walls of the room they have barricaded themselves in. We then managed to proceed further to the docking bays, where emergency lockdown doors unsuspectedly closed themselves. The united resistance army was present there too, with whom we have tried to negotiate with and delay the whole issue.
Our exceptional soldiers managed to cut a hole into the emergency door, with the soldiers providing firecover for the team. Mission comission gave us the order that if the junker only hinders our advances, he is disposable. Next, we have arrived in the large docking bays at the front of the station, where the last major fight was focused on. We have lost plenty of men, and they have lost plenty men too. Due to some very fortunate circumstances, we managed to repel their forces and applied enough pressure on them. The device was secured after minutes of continuing fighting and eventually, we could depart.
The lifes of the three dozen soldiers that fell will be honoured. We could not retrieve every corpse yet, and the cleanup is done by other agents when the Bundschuh presence lessens.
Junker stations increasingly become bothersome in terms of unlawful activity. We should increase our controls and sanction the junkers if we find their stations to be a staging point for their attacks.
Overall, the mission has been a success though. The device will be brought to Schatten next weekend so it can be dealt with accordingly.
Hochachtungsvoll, Kapitän Michael Schmidt

Patrol Report - 03:
Guten tag
About an hour ago I was on patrol in Frankfurt. I moved into position near Mainz Storage Facility and decided to take a little break and eat something. After I came out of the canteen and made it comfortably myself, I was surprised by an smuggler transport. Out of sheer hectic, I spilled my coffee over the console and my cereals was scattered throughout the whole cockpit.
To my pitch, some raisins came into the secondary systems and I'm still busy, to scratch the Haferflocken from the ventilation grille.
Back to the smuggler. I followed him to Dresden where I could intercept him, finally. The smuggler of the LH~Airdrie.Traverser stoped his engines and i asked him to throw off his drugs.
After a seemingly endless discussion and dozens of excuses, I decided to attack the ship, because i had the feeling he will never cooperate.
I was able to damage his ship, but after awhile I lost the transporter in the dense fog. At least we have his labeling.

Guten Abend mein herren... Its been a while since I gave a patrol report, Hopefully I'll be riding fast and hard to Feldwebel soon... Todays report is concerning yesterday activity with Komandant. Two Gallic cruisers, appeared in our capital, Just as they scaped last time like 3 days ago, and now that, they claimed they wanted allies... they were basically... deserting their ranks, as they also said that Galia was dying... HA! thats a plain old lie.. Galia is growing silently and stong, again, I do not trust them and will be alert for any movement... Other than that, it has just been like always, Smugglers, Pirates.. and our lovely Hessians... never giving up.
I'm proud, this is my second time aplying the Rheinland Law myself... in my last report, I had to deal with a smuggler who didn't comply and had to punish him, with proof and all... Now this, the cruisers were attempting to enter Braunswheig... Luckily I was in there and as I came out I saw them, and managed to not let them through...

To whom it may concern.
Today we had a battle between us and an Invading force of the LNS, we fought greatly, with only a force of Bombers and some cruisers, later before my ship was destroyed, A battleship came to assist us, I got no proof of the battle, but I can say some of you can recall... They were two Carriers, one battlecruiser, two battleships and some fighters... I was pinned down in the mist of the battle and couldn't see our victory, Hopefully my scape pod was recovered by one of our pilots, thank you whoever it was... I managed to do some hits with my SNAC to the LNS-Nimitz... it was close to death that confident bastard. That was pretty much what happened today on the military. I heard we gave them a gut lesson, for entering our borders... Regards.
