Attention brave men and women,
The recent set of events surrounding both the Corporate tyrants and the Cretan filth have both come as a result of our temporarily weakened state. Traitors within our ranks rendered several assets within the Oberkommando incapacitated for some time. The attempts on our lives have only strengthened our resolve, and as such we will retaliate - with full force.
Following the disaster in Valhalla, several of our military assets streamlined into Dresden will be committed to crushing the invading Cretan forces.
-All defensive forces within Dresden will have a new primary objective, the riddance of the Cretan warship "CNS-Athos". The Altenburg will be dealt with on the accord of our new and improved Oberkommando.
-All offensives with the Kingdom of Bretonia will cease immediately, the Kingdom has agreed to enter a state of non-aggression following both commercial and military benefits. Further details regarding this will be elaborated.
-All offensives against the Union in Northern Rheinland will cease immediately until instructed further, details regarding this will be disclosed publicly when ready.
-Mining vessels based out of Muspelheim and Jötunheimr will begin collecting resources from the newly found "Omega-2" system which will now be called ""Vanaheimr". Allowed assets within the system will be limited to Bretonian and IMG vessels. All others are to be dealt with accordingly.
-All forces entering New Beijing will be halted until further surveys are conducted by the Spezialoperationsabteilung.
-The Order will be tolerated within Our core territories so long as they do not approach with any warships, their presence in southern Rheinland will be tolerated under the same conditions.
-Bowex vessels will deal in the exchange of Blood Diamonds, they are to be treated as neutral assets. They, and they alone are permitted - all other Bretonian assets should be escorted out back towards Bretonian space.
Furthermore, the Volksrevolution will maintain a neutral stance in the ongoing conflict over Planet Saigon in the Sigma cluster. Should the Kusarians make way into Rheinland, they will be considered hostile targets. Records of endorsements between them and the Cretan Empire date back over a decade, any evidence of the groups working together should be reported immediately. Failure to report will be met with disciplinary action.
Signed, Generalmajor

Battleship Kassel, Omega-7, 4th August 825 A.S.
Guten abend,
First off I believe I should introduce myself. I am Marta Albrecht, I have recently been accepted into the Red Hessians and am beginning to acclimate to the army. I look forward to fighting for the volksrevolution.
Now for the events of my patrol. Setting off from RHB-Kassel I proceeded to patrol around the trade lanes from Freidstate Base to the Suttgart jump gate in the hopes of finding any Rheinlandic shipping to disrupt. Unfortunately none showed up but on the bright side I happened by an Interspace Commerce transport and an independent transport. Both were very receptive to the volksrevolution and donated to our cause summing a total of 13 million Sirian Credits. The captain of the independent transport ‘Bentusi’ was quite curious as to why we fight Rheinland so I told him my own reasons for joining. With luck my story will stick with him, perhaps he will spread the word about our cause so more can join the volksrevolution or at the very least a favorable view of us from the common folk.
Here are the logs regarding the two encounters from my Thor’s comm systems.
[05.08.2018 03:00:27] Bankroll: Had a hunch!
[05.08.2018 03:00:45] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: Guten tag.
[05.08.2018 03:00:48] Bankroll: Good day!
[05.08.2018 03:01:11] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: I guess you can understand what will happen, lets make this easy hmm?
[05.08.2018 03:01:41] Bankroll: I've already long stopped! Though each meeting with the Hessians seem to vary wildly.
[05.08.2018 03:02:39] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: A little new to the Hessians.
[05.08.2018 03:03:07] Bankroll: Fair. The last two I've encountered didn't want anything at all. I suppose Interspace supported the cause prior.
[05.08.2018 03:03:16] Bankroll: But I always donate generously regardless!
[05.08.2018 03:03:40] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: Ah i see! The volksrevolution always needs funds to continue her fight.
[05.08.2018 03:04:05] Bankroll: Of course. And Interspace *is* the fattest piggybank in Sirius..
[05.08.2018 03:04:18] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: So a 2 million donation for today seem fair enough?
[05.08.2018 03:04:29] Bankroll: More than fair!

[05.08.2018 03:05:17] Bankroll: Just don't tell Rheinland that!
[05.08.2018 03:05:17] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: You can go about your business then, free to trade through the omegas for the rest of the day.
[05.08.2018 03:05:33] Bankroll: Appreciate it! Have a good day madam!
[05.08.2018 03:05:37] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: Don't worry I wont. Good day to you too!

[05.08.2018 03:19:50] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: So you are aware of the volksrevolutions of course?
[05.08.2018 03:20:12] Bentusi: Hank: I've only just arrvied here.

[05.08.2018 03:20:53] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: We Hessians fight to stop the exploitation of workers by the Rheinland corporations.
[05.08.2018 03:21:00] Bentusi: Hank: SO we can be rich as a rich thing.
[05.08.2018 03:21:22] Bentusi: Hank: I dont want no trouble with Rheinland mister.
[05.08.2018 03:21:25] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: I have been hearing about the recent frenzy in art and consumer goods between the houses.
[05.08.2018 03:21:43] Bentusi: Hank: My daddy says we can be rich!
[05.08.2018 03:21:56] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: Miss, by the way. So would you mind a small donation to the cause?
[05.08.2018 03:22:23] Bentusi: Hank: I don't got much, but only if you dont tell nobody

[05.08.2018 03:24:06] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: Forcing to run through pirate infested space with nary an escort in site.
[05.08.2018 03:24:21] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: Kept telling them "We need proper escorts"
[05.08.2018 03:24:26] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: But they didn't listen.
[05.08.2018 03:24:35] [RHA]Marta,Albrecht: Lucky I escaped with my life when I was attacked.

Vogtland Base, Dresden, 14th of August 825 A.S.
Guten Tag,
I am here to report that a total of 13,700 units of Blood Diamonds have been smuggled out of Rheinland into Liberty with the RHT-Ypiranga. A total of four full shipments, one going to Fortazela Base in Kansas with the other three ending up at Dawson Base in Hudson. It was a relatively quiet and easy procedure, I was fortunate enough to not run into any federalist law enforcement.
Here are the ship’s manifests to serve as proof of the deliveries.

Sender:Flieger Isaac Haxton Recipient:Red Hessian Army Debriefing Channel Topic:Artifact smuggler
Guten morgen,
Today I've encountered an artifact smuggler on my way back to Dresden from Omega-55. It was a freelancer vessel. The captain told me they were supposed to meet some agents of The Order regarding their cargo. Obviously that was a lie, as they were headed to Altenburg and subsequently New Berlin from the Omegas.
They refused to cooperate with me at first. After some very one-sided combat they finally stopped their vessel and dropped their cargo, which was immediately destroyed by me. The relevant transcripts, as well as the guncam shots, are attached below.
[16.08.2018 22:55:30] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Hey there.
[16.08.2018 22:56:33] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Captain, you should cut your engines.
[16.08.2018 22:57:07] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Stop running!
[16.08.2018 22:57:23] Marty: Im not running
[16.08.2018 22:57:31] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Cut the engines immediately.
[16.08.2018 22:58:01] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Yeah you've had enough time to stop.
[16.08.2018 22:58:07] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: I'll let my guns speak.
[16.08.2018 22:58:09] Marty: What do you want Captain
[16.08.2018 22:58:16] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Cut the engines.
[16.08.2018 22:58:30] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Where are you headed to?
[16.08.2018 22:58:47] Marty: Why do you ask
[16.08.2018 22:59:11] Marty: I am meeting someone
[16.08.2018 22:59:19] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: We really don't like artifacts.
[16.08.2018 22:59:28] Marty: I know
[16.08.2018 22:59:33] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: And the people that carry them for Corsairs.
[16.08.2018 22:59:41] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Drop them now.
[16.08.2018 22:59:49] Marty: I am meeting someone from The Order to take these
[16.08.2018 23:00:09] Marty: I am supposed to be somewhere right now
[16.08.2018 23:00:11] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Yeah, you wouldn't be headed to New Berlin then.
[16.08.2018 23:00:16] Marty: No
[16.08.2018 23:00:17] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Drop them right now or I'll blast your ship.
[16.08.2018 23:00:21] Marty: I am not
[16.08.2018 23:01:17] Marty: I cant give them to you
[16.08.2018 23:01:30] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: I'll just extract them myself.
[16.08.2018 23:02:46] Marty: Fine
[16.08.2018 23:02:57] Marty: Ill drop them
[16.08.2018 23:03:07] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Do it now.
[16.08.2018 23:03:11] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Or your ship is gone.
[16.08.2018 23:03:33] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: Try that again and you'll find yourself on Vogtland.
[16.08.2018 23:03:35] Marty: But dont do anything stupid with it
[16.08.2018 23:04:05] Marty: I have to answer to the The Order now
[16.08.2018 23:04:19] Marty: Thanks for that!
[16.08.2018 23:04:31] [RHA]Ike.Haxton: You're welcome.

Guten abend,
I was heading to Stuttgart from Omega-3 when I encountered a lone Bismarck-class battleship in Omega-7, right next to the Omega-3 jumpgate. I was really surprised to see a Military battleship without any kind of escort. I called for the reinforcements while trying to prevent the battleship from escaping. I was joined by our very own Anna Kreutzer, Patrick Adler and captain Klaus of the Thorsmork. Once they arrived the Bismarck was joined by a Military fighter pilot, which I managed to quickly disable while our heavier units were fighting the battleship. They took the Bismarck down without any losses. The relevant guncam shots are attached below.
New Berlin system, Kaiserslautern Depot
20. August, 825 A.S.
Sender:Flieger Isaac Haxton Recipient:Red Hessian Army Debriefing Channel Topic:New Berlin events
Guten morgen,
I was on my way to Kaiserlautern after scanning a few traders when I got stopped by two Military officers not far from Strausberg. One of them asked me to surrender, then opened fire after getting a very straightforward answer to his "generous" offer. I managed to take the first one out reasonably quickly, which allowed me to disable the second pilot's vessel easily. The relevant guncam shots are attached below.
Under SOA-Fenrisulfr's command, three of our pilots began patrolling around New Berlin and Hamburg. As we couldn't find anything that mattered in New Berlin, our forces quickly moved to Hamburg in which the Bounty Hunters Guild pilots were previously spotted by our scouts.
Aland Shipyard was clear unlike Planet Hamburg. Two BHG pilots were disrupted at sector 4F slightly behind the Planet itself. The BHG pilots quickly engaged our forces which later on resulted in their destruction. The BHG "Eagle" was neutralized almost immediately, meanwhile the other BHG "Orca" Gunboat suffered a catastrophic decompression. Though that wasn't the end as the late reinforcement arrived, it was a lone MND "Wraith" that engaged us as we were flying away from the planet. The Nuclear mines proved very effective against him as his ship was destroyed upon activating two mines.
All hostile targets have been eliminatedᚥ so we moved down to Omegas.
ᛝ Omega-55
The situation in this system was completely different from Hamburg. No hostile targets were encountered in the system. Fenrisulfr caught two Junker pilots with valuable scrap, now that might seem like it is nothing, but those two Junkers openly admitted that they were heading nowhere else but Omicron Gamma. It came to us as a surprise that they said that, we weren't expecting such answer. Both of the pilots were ordered to drop the scrap and run for their lives. They both complied and fled immediately after they dropped the cargoᚤᚤ.
The valuable scrap did not go to waste. Egerland arrived to our location and picket up the scrap. The cargo was unloaded on Vogtland where I am currently. The sorting of the scrap began shortly after it was unloaded. Egerland then moved to Jötunheimr and was moored to Northeim.
I've spent quite some time roaming around Niflheim looking for any potential victim. The mining field were empty as well as the system itself. My decision was not to exit Niflheim just yet. That decision has proven to be a good one. As I was closing in to Stuttgart Gate, a Junker vessel jumped into the system. I sincerely hoped it was a Marauder, but it was just a Congressman. After a brief chat it came to my knowledge that the cargo he was hauling was going to Planet Sprague, one system away from Niflheim. I simply couldn't let that cargo go to Bretonians instead of us, so I persuade him to turn around and head directly to Vogtland. I escorted the Junker to our base in Dresden.
It was a long flight from Niflheim to Dresden as we flew through Stuttgart which is not a small system as we all know. We haven't been spotted flying through the system and the cargo arrived safely to Vogtland. From there we departed, the Junker informed me that he was going to visit Vogtland's bar and I went on a routine patrol around Dresden.
Nothing interesting appeared on my scanners during my patrol. The system was rather quiet.
ᛝ Muspelheim / Dresden
We've received a call for backup on Vogtland. The call came from Oberleutnant Ármannsson which was involved in a battle right outside Planet Tangier. Luckily I managed to get there quick enough and prevent any potential damage to our Oberleutnant. The ones involved were Corsairs, Bounty Hunters and of course, us. By the time I arrived, one Corsair bomber was already neutralized, soon after I arrived and engaged the enemy, I managed to neutralize both of their fightersᚥ.
What was left were two Bounty Hunter Gunboats. At that moment we didn't have enough firepower to deal any proper damage to them, so we just had to stall the fight and wait for backup that was already on it's way to us. The backup arrived and the enemy was put out of action which can be seen from the footage below.
Our work in Muspelheim was finished, all enemy vessels were neutralized and we moved back to Vogtland. I couldn't even get a break from the fight in Muspelheim and I already received another call for backup, only this time it was in Dresden. Reportedly our patrol wings was attacked by both Rheinland Military and Police vessels. They were engaged north-east from Altenburg.
Their snubs were neutralizedᚤᚤ and our forces didn't suffer any losses except for one Coalition snub vessel that was unfortunately disabled by an RM light bomber.
Another patrol in Dresden turned out to be successful. What happened was that I encountered a Bison class transport near Bautzen Station. As the ship was too close to the working trade lane, I ordered him to move away from it in order to prevent his potential escape. His transport was full of Artifactsᚤ, I had no other option but to make him drop it. At first I was going to go easy on him, but the pilot refused to drop the Artifacts so he got shot. With SOA's help we disabledᚥ the transport and destroyed the cargo.
ᛝ Frankfurt
RHC Hessen was under attack in Frankfurt system so we deployed two heavy bombers to help Hessen. Our cruiser was under heavy fire when we arrived, the Rheinland Military Battlecruiser was focused on Hessen so much that he pretty much ignored us. Our beam cannons proved to be extremely useful as we managed to deal heavy damage to an enemy Battlecruiser.
A handful of Nova Torpedoes were launched at the enemy, although most of them were flaked, they've dealt decent damage. Hessen suffered a minor damage to his hull, but was alright at the end. The enemy Battlecruiser was disabledᚥ and our pilots returned to Dresden.
Our forces, consisting on 2 Cruisers and a few snub wings, raided New Berlin in order to weaken the enemy forces and prevent them from sending any crafts into Dresden. The raid was successful, we managed to neutralize a few enemy capital shipsᚤ as well as some fighter craftsᚤ without suffering any loses. After the BDM Battle Cruiser was neutralized, to avoid potential Military reinforcements, out pilots returned back to Dresden.
ᛝ Dresden 3/10/825
Encountering anything bigger than a Rheinland Military Gunboat is a rare thing in Dresden these days, yet there are still some who are stupid enough to enter our system. One 'stupid' Tirpitz Commander did enter Dresden and as soon as our scouts notified us, we dispatched a Cruiser and two bomber wings. We took him down, which wasn't hard for us.
The job was well done and we returned our ships back to Vogtland where we waited for further instructions, but there weren't any as system was fairly quiet.
ᛝ New Berilin 4/10/825
Another Berlin raid only this time it was lead by Mathias Oliversson. Unlike last time, the enemy forces were much bigger. Having more Cruisers, Gunboats and even fighters. Their Gunboats were equipped to counter our bomber wings, having good tracking missiles and fast refire guns. Though that did not help them, the skill was on our side, as always. Our bombers took down both of their Gunboats without even taking hull damage. The Rheinland Military Cruiser went down easily, our forces were victorious once againᚥ. Some of us moved back to Vogtland and the others move back their ships to Jötunheimr.
