Everyone will tell you small lies, except the people you love, who will tell you large ones.
The JM declared hostilities today and we surprised them by a strike first when their people were only partially aware. Razed a gunboat and a Waran in the surprise attack.
Today I claim these kills on our enemies:
Later on we were attacked by Outcast and fought back as well as we could. Managed to take out or force to dock quite some, but succumbed to their combat strength in the end. My Solaris guns were blown off, and I ejected.
Some old shot I dug up when Stealthscrapper tried to pirate and I sunk a snac into his Waran.
This concludes my report.

In the recent weeks, Corsairs have become more active in the Omegas. The OPG and Black Fleet seem to be there a lot. I came across a pirate holdup and engaged in the fighting in O3.
Scored 2 gunboats of the Corsair type.

So, has been a while since I reported anything. However, here comes the most important things I have been missing out on: transport kills!
Today a Joker of a mercenary Waran tried to attack a transport. He blew off his thruster, thought he had won, then I surprised him from behind and blasted him to pieces, Baaaam!
The remaining guncams are older ones that I have never filed.
So... this is it for today. Hopefully with more successful killings soon!
Hunted down the known hunter Toma.Taifjun. Managed to snac him today after an attack against an IMG transport. Sadly, the transport was not equipped according to IMG regulations, so it was lost. Anyway, revenge was done.

Bounty Claim: 10 million.
John.Titor also was trying to claim on us. He got away heavily damaged and docked at the Republican Shipping base Freiburg, hard pressed by an ALG escort.

Seems out Mister Hunter from Stuttgart now moved also to the Taus. He is in a Waran bomber with cloak. When spotted, he tried to cloak, failed, then tried to hug Cali, realized he would be snaced again, then ran to the sun and took a looond sunbath.
Enjoy the picture:
I claim him as my kill. Claimed bounty: 5 million
Also a JM| crossed my way. And exploded. They are not so tough when they are not in a pack.
Claimed bounty: 6 million
This concludes my report.

Mission Report:
Omega 7 Base Deconstruction
This is Executive Officer of the Zephyr Class Carrier "Rockabill", Elisabeth Hudson, reporting on our attack mission in Omega 7.
We were called by Freistadt Operators about a base named Cryptic Heart that was towed into the close vicinity of Freistadt, obstructing the norther docking ports and thus endangering our operations.
The Rockabill entered Omega 7 and established communications with the Rheinland Commander at the scene. After a short discussion, the IMG Carrier group, consisting of 2 Nanda Devi Bombers, 1 Sagarmatha Battlecruiser, 1 Gasherbrum Gunboat and the Zephyr Rockabill headed in.
We faced the problem that the Rockbill was recognized as a hostile unit by the Rheinland Battleship Schwerin. Circumventing the problem, the CO ordered the Rockabill to take a position outside of the range of the Schwerin's gunrange.
After some greetings words and operational coordination, the firing mission was commenced. IMG and Rheinland Military forces hammered the base and took it out in approximately 30 minutes.
The IMG Battlegroup returned to Omega 3, escorted by the Rheinland Battlegroup. The whole group met in Omega 3 for a cordial parting. The Battlegroup was awarded the "National Flower of Stuttgart", a military award for assisting Rheinland.
Transcript of the Parting Scene in Omega 3 at the Omega 7 gate.
Quote:IMG|Rockabill: CO: IMG wings, get into formation here. We are here to say goodbye to the Rheinland forces.
IMG|Ravens.Eye: Alexandra: On your six CO.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Military ships, please rally on the forseti.
IMG|Rockabill: CO: and as this has been a historical moment, let's take a picture.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Hardly, Rheinland and IMG forces have cooperated in the past. Nevertheless, we are most apreceative of your help.
IMG|Rockabill: CO: Indeed, but this vessel has not seen Rheinland space for 2 decades.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: More then the firepower you added, your presence brought a much needed calm to the situation and defused tensions between my men and the IMG station they were shooting at.
IMG|Rockabill: CO: Admiral, it has been a pleasure. And we appreciate the Rheinland response to a problem that we both had.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: I thank you for bringing your ships here and reminding us that this is not the start of any sort of conflict. Rather, an opertunity to work together.
IMG|Rockabill: CO: May - in the future - all meetings of IMG and Rheinland warships look like this.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Thus, I am pleased to offer all IMG ships the national flower of Stuttgart in a show of respect. Thank you for what you have done to secure both of our orginizations.
IMG|Rockabill: CO: We are honoured by the award and gladly take it. I cannot offer anything like this in return, however the Guild's thank is sincere and the Guild does not forget when there was help offered to it in a tense situation.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: If you please, Commanding Officer of the Rockabill.
IMG|Rockabill: XO: Take us closer to the award. We have tractored the award - CO: We received the award. Thank you, Commander.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Let it be a reminder to sooth the tensions that may sometimes arise. The IMG is always welcome in rheinland.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Achtung! Miltiary forces are dissmissed!
IMG|Rockabill: CO: *chuckling* I do not assume that includes warships. *smiles* Anyway, it has been a pleasure.
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Und to you as well. A plesure.
[RM]Ge.Franz.Hegemann.: *salutes*
IMG|Rockabill: CO: IMG wings, return to base
IMG|Ravens.Eye: Alexandra: Roger that, nice flying with your Rheinland Military Forces.
We returned to base, and moored to Aland Shipyard. The Rockabill needs to get a transponder update, and better scanner has to be equipped. It became painfully obvious that the vessel has not been in a fighting mission for more than 3 years and has not operated in Rheinland in the last two decades.
Additional Incident 1: Counter Attack against the Rheinland Forces
A Hessian Cruiser came in, but could not get close enough. The Rheinland forces drove it off and destroyed it. The attack was in vain, even though a Rheinland Cruiser at the gate was destroyed.
Additional Incident 2: Destruction of Ivan Silva, Bomber Class.
Internal version: A vessel that is associated with criminals that hunt the IMG vessels was approaching the site of the siege. Name: Ivan.Silva, Bomber class, Freelancer Papers. We warned small craft of crossfire, and when he made a bad move and was deshielded by Freistadt, the Rockabill fired a single barrage of 2 Cerberus, and 6 Battleship Turrets into him. The salvo destroyed the bomber instantly. Rheinland Forces believed that it was crossfire and an accident. No investigation is to be expected.
Quote:Ivan.Silva: Hello
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Guten tag, Ivan.
[RM]Ge.Franz.Hegemann.: Hello there, pilot...
IMG|Rockabill: CO: XO, remind me to have the transponders checked. This ship has not been in action for so long, we are running outdated transponder software, it seems
IMG|Rockabill: Small ships, careful. Crossfire near the base
Ivan.Silva: IMG have permission to enter the space with capital ships?
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: As Acting Field Commander I have granted them permission to do os.
[RM]Ge.Franz.Hegemann.: There is air leaking out already!
Destruction Confirmation: Main Gunner section: Full hit on Ivan.Silva with full barrage.
Ivan.Silva: Both of? *screaming* Whaaaaaaat? Aaaahhhhh!
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Oh dear....
IMG|Rockabill: Cease fire! Cease fire! Misfire due to proximity alert!
[RM]-Forseti: Lotson: Launching rescue boats now.
The official version: The bomber was hostile to Freistadt for unknown reasons. Freistadt gunners attacked the craft and marked it as red also for the automatic guns of the Zephyr. When the bomber flew into the crossfire of the heavy batteries of the Rockabill, it was picked up as a target and a salvo hit it.
The XO Sarah Hundemer was not experienced enough to oversee the difficult situation around the base, inside the nebula, with an outdated transponder and an old scanner, and therefore could not keep the tragic misfire salvo from happening.

Commanding Officer
Zephyr Rockabill
Oh wow. A busy day, I swear. We scrapped 3 enemies in the course and I feel really happy. Okay, the first one was done by Omega 7 Defense. Still, three kills connected to this run, two by the convoy.
We did a long flight from Omegas to Minor, then we visited y Xeno base for Alloys, then the smuggling bases in Kepler, got Premium Scrap to Tau 44 and then we did some supply runs for Siloso. Worked out really well, I have to say.
1. Convoy at Denver:
2. Roc Bomber Kill in Cortez
3. Friendly Smuggling Bases:
4. Outcast Gunboat Kill in Kyushu
Later on, I flew to O49 and took a few pictures of O47 again, but hat goes into the correct channels. So... this is it for today. Hopefully with more successful killings soon!
today we had a quite interesting Patrol in the Tau 23 and 37 Systems.
It started with hanging around at Java like a usual Day but i got some Company as Alexander.Craig joint me and we started an basic patrol in Tau 23.
Later the 2 of us where joint by Laura.Huntington and we continued our Patrol of the Tau 23 System.
Meanwhile i had replaced the Fighter with my Bomber and Laura choose the fly a Bomber herself.
Intel told us about reports of Cardamine Smugglers in Tau 37 so we started heading this way.
We reached Tau 37 with Alex as the Scout in his Fighter while the Bombers hide themselfs in the Nebula near the Tau 23 Jumphole.
The Trap was a success as two Junker Frigates entered the System coming from Omicron Alpha.
We scanned the Ships and *Bingo* we find lots of Cardamine in the Cargoholds.
After the Captains refused to drop there Cargo, permission was given to take them out and destroy the Cargo.
As you can see on the following Pictures.
Hello fellow members of the guild. Yesterday we had a rought fight on us, since in tau-23 there were a group of Outcasts with a small number of Junker Marauders with them. On our side there was me, Ray and Alexander, incuding Laura a bomber, but she then soon fled to to bring another ship. While at the start the fight was on the point to be lost, we maked to odds and managed to kill several of them, including a bomber and a fighter, which both i have killed with the help of m comarandes, but the later we were outnumberd and we lost to their massive force of gunboats

Q3 Report
During the last months the IMG Defense had to defend against an old threat, namely the Junker group JM|- Junker Marauders, who apparently multiplied their efforts to harass IMG operations in the Taus.
While attacking mostly in Gunboat class vessels, they had to suffer from costly losses against IMG forces. Lately, the cruiser GDV Oceania, together with the GPV Cruisers Pathfinder and Pioneer's Fate, have shown to be an effective defense force against any vessel currently flown by the Junkers, and I therefore recommend the deployment of further Thanatos-class cruisers to the Tau region.
Furthermore, I remind every one of our members that Java has formally been given to the GRN, with us keeping all docking rights on the station. This means you'll have to comply to any rules of conduct states by the GRN, GRP or any other Gallic lawful while around the station.
Falkland and Fort Siloso remain IMG assets.
Unlike the Taus, the Omega region has lately been quiet. Most conflict around Freistadt and our assets in Omega-9 has been of political nature and I am assured our diplomats have the situation under control.
Pirate groups like the Corsairs have not shown any ambition to assault IMG vessels lately, making the Omegas a safer location for initiates of our Guild. Defense assets from Aland and Freistadt may be re-distributed to Tau-23 or our footholds in Omega-9 to further establish our presence there.
However, and I can't stress this enough, the morale of our Paramilitary forces seems to be at a constant down-state and I insist our mid-command in the Paramilitary to motivate our pilots to the best of their abilities.
