Guten tag!
Today my day on duty was started from emergency call from Og. Helga Stainder about LNS situation in Neu Berlin system near jumphole to Braunschweig. When I arrived battle was in progress. One Assault Cruiser and two Liberty Battle Cruisers were attacking our forces. I joined to battle immediately.
With glory we defend our Vaterland. One Assault Cruiser and one Liberty Battle Cruiser were destroyed and one left our space. We were tracked him to Bering system, but it was to late to catch him.
Next we begun a patrol in Rheinland Space. I was assigned as a "wingmen" to Og. Helga Stainder. We checked Hamburg, Neu Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and area near Helgoland station in Sigma 13 system.
We don't meet any hostile activity in that systems.
When our patrol were end we came back to Hamburg system with order to protect the blockade between our space and Libertonian area.
That was really busy time. Many traders were trying to spare embargo (especcialy the diamonds traders). But all of them were advised about it. No one were protested when we ask to change route. Exept one. He were trying luck with flying into the deep space, but we intercept him and turned back him.

Topic: Last Nights Patrol and the "Incident"
Oh where to start.....
I undocked from the Moselle in Braunschweig and proceeded to start a patrol in New Berlin. After checking the lanes I headed to the Frankfurt Gate. I checked the lanes there. Nothing but a bunch of freelancing fighter pilots. I headed back to New Berlin. From there I headed to the Stuttgart Gate. I jumped through there and headed to Planet Stuttgart. Nothing so far. I then took the trade lanes to Freiburg. Nothing there either. I jumped to Omega-7 and checked the lanes and the various mining areas for trouble. Nothing there.
I jumped back to Stuttgart and took the lane to Freiburg......where I saw the station firing upon a Wraith. The Wraith engaged its cruise engines and headed away from the station. I kicked mine on and followed it. The pilot said he was testing some secret weaponry made by using a Nomad Power Cell on Firekiss Plasma Guns. I never heard of the Military testing weapons hooked up to nomad technology before. I called him out on this and he once again said it was high military secrets. I checked his cargo hold. He had several Rheinland Federal Police Pilots as well as a couple Civilian Pilots. He said the shot them in self defense.
About five minutes later Feldwebel Wiesen appeared out of no where. He also started to ask questions about the weapons and the pilots in his cargo. He started to check all military databases for the name of the pilot and this weapons test. He found nothing. I remembered something I was told when I received my Wraith. I looked above my seat where a button that said "Activate Unit 001" I punched the button and the newest toy from the Rheinland Military was released. The Artificial Intelligence Unit hummed to life. I asked it to check all systems to make sure it was working on full capacity. Once that was done I asked it to check all the Databases in the system for the name of the pilot and the project name. The pilot was listed as missing three years ago in the deep Omega systems. The project name was never found. I relayed this message to Feldwebel Wiesen who once again asked the pilot about the project and his name.
Out of no where he said "I see, you will never be convinced". Then I started to hear voices. They weren't coming from the communications system but....just like someone was talking right next to me. I asked the Artificial Intelligence Unit if it was receiving any transmissions. It said it wasn't. I knew something was wrong. I told the AI Unit what I heard. I told me to synchronize my helmet with the AI's computer. I thought about the worst possible outcome of doing that....then I said screw it and did it. Then the voices were gone. However Herr Wiesen......wasn't as lucky as me. He seemed to be almost taken over by the "Thing" in the other Wraith. He ordered me to stand down and leave the other pilot alone. I knew better. I didn't comply. He kept ordering me to leave. I finally responded with "Sorry, I only take orders from Human Beings". Wiesen then ordered the other pilot to open fire on the "Traitor". I became evasive and returned fire. I was focusing on the Wraith hoping that if it got destroyed what ever hold it had on Wiesen would break.
I got a message on a secure comms from Flieger Stahl. He asked what was going on. I replied. "We have a possible Wilde, I need you to pick up some Bio-Neural Processors" He asked where he could get them. I said the station in Frankfurt. He picked up on what I meant and headed there. Just after I finished saying that he was ordered to stay put at the Battleship Strausberg in New Berlin. He "complied" with the order. Then I sent him a communication to make sure no matter what he got those processors. He said he was almost half way there. I turned my attention back to the battle. I dodged purple flashes of light and tried my best to hit the Wraith square in the cockpit with my Mini Razor. At this point Wiesen in his bomber because to fire his EMP Cannons at me. I dodged them and avoided the purple flashes from the suspect ship.
At this point I received a message from Frau Voelkel about the situation. I just said finally someone who won't betray me. I need help in Stuttgart. Soon Herr Stahl arrived at the site and shortly behind him came Frau Voelkel. Frau Voelkel tried to communicate with Wiesen. It wasn't effective and I was told to switch targets to disable Wiesen's bomber. At that point it I turned and faced Wiesen. We both moved towards each other guns blazing. At this point Frau Voelkel began to talk to the other Wraith. She told the pilot to go to the Moselle for judgement. I was in the fight so I had no time to get the message out that that pilot was a threat. Finnally both Stahl and I disabled Wiesen's engines. He began to drift and kept shooting. I switched to my Mini Razor and took his shield off. He kept firing. I knew he was still under the control of what ever that was. I knew as long as he had control of the weapons systems of that bomber he was a serious threat. Frau Voelkel ordered me to cease fire. I disobeyed her order to make sure he didn't get the chance to hurt anyone. I destroyed his ship and Herr Stahl got his pod. After that was over I told Frau Voelkel what I suspected the pilot of that wraith was. She asked why I didn't tell her earlier. I said I was in the middle of a fight no time to be sending messages around. We headed back to the Karlsruhe. The original destination was the Battleship Moselle in Braunschweig. But due to the violent behaviors of Wiesen in the escape pod we had no choice but to dock with the Karlsruhe. Wiesen was sent to the infirmary by armed guard for evaluation. I decided to request temporary quarters and catch an early night.
I disobeyed direct orders last night more then once. I think it was justified if it is not. Then I hope you see it fit that I get the right punishment.
Guten Abend Kommandant,
This is Gefreiter Erwin Helge reporting in from the recon mission undertaken in the Texas system.
The Mission commander was:
Leutnant Lenora Schneider
Other participants Included:
Oberfeldwebel Tanja Voelkel
Hauptgefreiter Leon Fischer
Gefreiter Erwin Helge
My first activities of the day involved my daily benedictions to the Gottkanzler and the destruction of a Hessian vessel with the aid of Leutnant Schneider. It happened in New Berlin, I got word of a Hessian vessel escaping from the Stuttgart Jumpgate into my current patrol zone. By the time I arrived on the scene Leutnant Schneider was already under attack by the scoundrel. While Frau Schneider had the situation under control, I was asked to help to hasten the demise of the fowl menace. I quickly gave a prayer to the Gottkanzler and made the symbol of his might across my chest. I knew he would bless us this day, but to what extent I was unsure. The combined fire power of our Wraiths ended the Hessian pilot, once the area was secured we continued on our designated patrols. Until it was time to start our Texas recon operation.
The reconnaissance to Texas would prove very fruitful, but fraught with peril. I had a bad feeling about it from the begging, and only calmed myself with another prayer to the Gottkanzler. I repeated a few phrases of his words over the group channel in an attempt to calm myself and offer his strength to the rest of the members on the mission. We proceeded through the Bering system, into the Texas Jumpgate. Once we arrived in Texas the squad formed up and headed to a high plane on the galactic orientation. Our main objective as far as I knew was to get photos of the Prison station LPI Sugarland. Once we reached our target I was ordered to swoop in like the eagle vestige that represents our mighty nation, and secure all the photographic evidence I could. The photos I took are as follows. The last one is a photo of the station LPI huntsville.
Once we accomplished our task at Sugarland we headed towards Huntsville. This station was very close to Planet Houston, and was the most dangerous assignment. Frau Voelkel, and myself had been tasked with sneaking around behind the planet and taking photos. As we made our approach the LN must have picked up our ships, along with Leutnant Scheinder and her escort. Oberfeldwebel Voelkel ordered me to return to the Leutnants position and aid her with any LN contacts while she gathered images of Huntsville. Luckily she was speedy in her photography and was able to rejoin me soon after I left the Houston's orbit. Once in space the LN found Voelkel and myself as we tried to rejoin with Frau Scheinder. Through my own lax combat doctrine the Libertonians hit my ship with a cruise disruptor.
At that moment I prayed harder then I have in a very long time. I knew this wouldn't end well, and without the divine aid from the Gottkanzler I would probably be dead and the information I held lost to space.
We encountered LN Zander, LN Robinson, and LN Starlight. There was a TLG gunboat on stand by, but the Piloten Zander ordered it to stand down.
It was very strange, there was a small calm. A slight pause in reality, the hard turn I made to bring my sights on the enemy seemed to happen in slow motion as my vision went past the system's sun. I could almost feel it's warmth on my face, and for those seconds I was in complete calm. I felt the might of the Gottkanzler fill my arms, and I knew he would give his blessing to the the rest of the squad and myself. I was shocked back into the now as the first bolt of plasma careened past my ship. It was followed by hundreds more, it was clear the Libertonians knew I had valuable information. I became the target of all our enemies, and as I breath it was a miracle I was able to evade their fire as long as I did. But the battle took it's toll. I was given a resupply of Nano Robots by other members on the mission. After an intense fight the LN pilot Starlight was taken out. We split our remain forces against Robinson and Zander. The battle raged for a long time, and more Libertonians arrived. Leutnant Scheinder ordered me to disengage and return to the Westfalen with the proof. I did as I was ordered and made it safely to the Battleship. In a slow but tactical maneuver the rest of the squad retreated as the LN pilots also retreated.
We had all made it back in one piece, Gottkanzler be praised I say. For it was him I know that protected us on this mission.
That is all I have for my report, I'm sure the Leutnant will elaborate further on the battle.
Gefreiter Erwin Helge signing off.
After my last report it appeared that damages my ship suffered were to serious. It was necessary to wait for full repairs. Finally when they were made, I could jump in cockpit, yeah I was really exited. Not flying such long time is nicht gutt for pilot
I started to get used to a lot of work, that Rheinland Military Pilot have everyday. So I wasn't surprised about todays actions. Just after I've made final settings on my brand new bomber, disturbing report came in. Liberty Navy capital ships were spotted near planet Hamburg. Es war kinda stresfull situation, finally I'm Hauptgefreiter now, there were no higher than me pilot in squadron. I ordered to move all Bomber units to planet Hamburg asap.
We arrived there before any losses were made.
Full transmissions report
Also jaa, as usual Liberty kids were funny. Even very funny, they were looking for some justice far away from home. As a squadron leader, I ordered to hold position and do not engage.
Und again, force of arguments dont work as it goes for Navies. After couple warning, and demand to leave Rheinland space, they didn't listen. We were forced to defend our Vaterland! Slaughter started
[
It must be said, das Herr Maximilian, commander of Tirpitz Battleship, had great contribution in this victory. Though all squadron acted properly. And I mean here Dammen Klaudia Linn, Helga Stainder und crew of Maelstrom
After all this I ordered to regroup and resupply at nearest station, and move out for patrol. In the meantime Herr Steven.Axt from ]~WD~[ forces joined us. Further actions reports I leave to our Fliegerins und Obergefreiterins. And I assure you Mein Damen und Herren, happened a lot.
Gutt to be back!

Guten tag mein herren,
Down to business. This patrol started out very smoothly. I launched from Planet Holstein in the Frankfurt system and proceeded on a patrol route from there to Omega 7. Along the way I met a cheerful man but the name of Rass. He worked as the captain of a Kruger Minerals Transport and was heading the exact same way as I was. We talked with idle chit chat and made our way to the Kruger Minerals Station in Omega 7. The trip there was completely devoid of any hostiles and strongly patrolled buy reservists. After staying in Omega 7 for a bit and having a chat with the IMG and Kruger vessels there.
I moved back to the lane and finished a patrol of the system. Wile finishing the rest of the patrol I was contacted buy a helpful Reservist looking for a job to do. As Rheinland was devoid of and Criminal activity all I could do for him was to patch him into the comms system. As i was moving back to Stuttgart I passed by Herr Rall who then joined me on patrol. Wile MG Rall outranked me, he kept a passive attitude and let me take the lead for the most part. As things were going quite swimmingly we made passage for the Omega 11 system, looking to clear it of the hessians who frequent it. However once we got there it to was absolutely void of and Criminal or Revolutionary activity.
Heading back to New Berlin was just as cool and calm as everything else. Arriving at New Berlin Rall and I were contacted by a Reserve Gunboat who had just came on station and was requesting orders. Sadly we had none, so we instead enjoyed some particularly fine Roast Duck made buy the Gun Boat's chef. (I must say, I do recommend the man for promotion, the Duck was superb.)
After the meal had settled I came with an idea. If Rheinland really was devoid of Unlawful activity, perhaps we could turn our attentions to the Libertonians. I asked MG Rall if he would OK a recon action into Texas to plant a Mass Sensory Probe on the Trade Lane to the New York Jump Gate. Rall replied in the affirmative and gave the go-ahead for the mission. I asked if he would like to take command as he was the ranking officer on this sortie however, Rall declined this and let me proceed with the tactical command on this mission.
Gathering our forces we made for Hamburg. Rendezvousing at the planet, we counted our forces. One Gunboat and Three Very Heavy Fighters; perfect for a infiltration mission as the Fighters can slip through defenses undetected wile the Gunboat has an excellent sensory package and is still small enough to avoid triggering Mass Detection Alarms.
We set out on a coarse for the Bering system. Upon reaching said system we encountered a major setback, Rall's fighter was malfunctioning. We had to wast precious time trying to hunt down Rall as his fighter took him on wild goose chases though the asteroids. I almost scrubbed the mission right there and then, but Rall insisted that he was fine and the problems were over. We jumped to Texas.
Upon reaching Texas I had giving orders to travel 10K up and off the standard plane. Proceeding up off the plane, we met at the proscribed location and divided into two forces. The Gunboat was to stay 12K above the Bering gate and keep it clear wile we worked our magic on the trade lane to New York. The Gunboat had standing orders to, if detected, Set coarse for the Hudson JH and steam there with all speed.
Making our way to the trade lane, we encountered no hostels and everything was on the up and up. The gunboat notified up of new Mass Readings in the system consistent with the profile of Naval ships. Indeed, soon enough, wile I was working on the trade lane device, a LSF gunboat appeared and hovered just inside of contact range. Surprisingly it did not investigate our mischief, and left us to finish our work unhampered.
The deed now done and the TLMDS in place we made our move for the Bering Jump Gate. The LSF Gunboat, whom had remained at bay so far began to follow us. Fearing that our vector had been calculated, I ordered our GB to the secondary exfil point, the Hudson JH. As the GB moved, we headed for a vector in-between both JGs out of the system in hopes that they would not have enough men to cover all the exits. Due to a misinterpreted order, our GB had jumped back to Bering and was moving towards the Hudson JH there. Taking advantage of this misfortune, I ordered the GB to plot a course to the other side of the Texas JH in Hudson, so as to not alet the LSF GB to our GB's presence until it had already jumped through. We might as well take out a liberty war ship wile we were there, so we began planing for it.
As we approached the JH the LSF GB broke off our trail and made way for the Hudson JG. We ran though the JH and meet with our GB waiting there just in time to see the LSF GB approaching from the TL. We began to set up ambush positions and we getting ready to strike when a new contact appeared on scanners, a Libertine Siege Cruiser. Fearing that the initiative had been lost and that our GB was at risk of being destroyed, I began to issue a Pull out order. Rall, however told us to hold position as he could keep the cruiser from getting to our GB with CDs. Holding in possition we recived word that a [RM] Bomber was in route and would be there soon.
Things were looking up. No shots had yet been fired and we would soon have the advantage. That's when two [LN] fighters arrived. Even worse, Rall's fighter began malfunctioning once more. Rall stated that he was combat ineffective and transfused command to me. I gave the order to pull out. We got out of the CD envelope just as two more [LN] fighters jumped in. Making our way back to Hamburg we were followed to Atka by the LSF GB however he left us there. Back in Hamburg we congratulated ourselves on a complete success.
Final tally: RM deaths: 0 LN deaths: 0 Intel gained on libertine fleet movements: Massive
Mein herren, It is at times like these when I am proud to be a Rheinlander!

===Subject: Liberty Navy Incursion, LNS Incident===
-Message Follows-
Greetings once again one and all, this is Feldwebel Duncan Werden, back from the land of the (Supposed) dead. For the past few months I have been detained as a prisoner of the Hessians, and kept for interrogation and negotiation purposes, I'm unsure why I was freed, but here I am.
Yesterday, after requisitioning my equipment and finalizing my paperwork, there was an incursion made by the Liberty Navy into Hamburg, where they were met by a sizable force of our own Rheinland military, as well as a Hessian that offered his assistance, but we had no need of it, as well as a reporter, who may be able to shed more light on this, under a call-sign beginning with GardenPath|. Oberfeldwebel Tanja took charge, directing the defense of Hamburg from a safe distance and ensuring we stayed to our combat tactics. After taking some major shield damage multiple times from massed Liberty Navy fire, I was directed by Of. Tanja to engage full-on defensive maneuvres, for whatever reason, the LN piloten did not realize I was dodging, and they were wholly engrossed in attempting to take me down, whilst our piloten fired on their tails. After the destruction of one of their ships, the Liberty Navy attempted to gain reinforcements, but Of. Tanja intercepted the newcomer and summarily dealt with him. Eventually, only Hale and Gold-17 were left of the initial Liberty Navy force, and after a long exchange of fire, both Gold-17 and Hale retreated. This was a great victory for Rheinland, with no losses to our own piloten, and major damage done to the Liberty Navy, maybe they'll think twice before attempting to invade again. Unfortunately, my gun-cam was destroyed by a glancing hull shot, so I'm composing the following list from memory, so if there are any unlisted, please let me know.
Today however, there was a rather odd incident in Hamburg. As I left Planet Hamburg, I spotted a LNS vessel, the LNS "Wrath of Liberty," some 12-13K outside of Hamburg orbit. When I found it, I saw it was a Libertonian Assault Carrier, with wings ready to be deployed. As I hailed it, the Captain of the vessel, Frau Malone was her stated name, mentioned something about a Rheinland Battleship invading Texas. Whilst I pondered the situation, (I did not think a lone Wraith could take on such a vessel), a Battleship did indeed appear, the RNC Munster, which offered to engage the Libertonian vessel. However, I did not think the risk to civilian life would be acceptable if we could somehow avoid engagement right on a major trade lane, so I told the carrier to return to Liberty space, or indeed be engaged. After some confusion, the Libertonian vessel agreed to leave under escort, and I, along with some other Rheinlanders, from DHC and the RFP, escorted it to the Bering jump-gate and watched as it jumped out of system. No lives were lost.
Gun-cam images are attached, as well as clips of communications.
Greetings,
Kapitan Scharnhorst of RNC-Munster Battleship reporting.
We responded urgently heute to a call regarding presence of Liberty dogs in Hamburg system. We scrambled hastily, accompanied by gunboat RNC-Heidelberg.
Both intruders were found not more then 15k off planet Hamburg itself. Despite the fact, that they were severely outgunned, they attempted to fire on our vessel. We destroyed both Assault Battlecruisers with ease, suffering only minor deck damage, few hull breaches in isolated sections. Few deaths have been reported too sadly, and we hereby extend our condolencies to families of the fallen kamaraten.
Munster is moored in Hamburg and undergoing repairs on the front hull armor panels and breach on deck 2. It will stay there for at least 12 more hours most likely.
Today, as I was powering up my systems, I received a message from the Bretonia Armed Forces, asking what heavy Rheinland Military vessels were doing in Cambridge, since I was unaware of any sort of operations in Bretonia, I asked for the call-sign of the vessel in question, and began a cursory investigation, which I have typed a large portion up, given that it was so long as to be impractical to read in its entirety, with all spelling and grammatical errors included. IF I did not know any better, I'd assume that the person I spoke to, if not his entire "group" was infected with LOL-Syndrome, (also known as Harris' Disease, which, as you all know, includes delusions of life being "just a game" or some sort of "rules" not mattering).

In addition to this obvious lack of respect for the authority of the Rheinland Military, he also mentioned "buying" a Rheinland Military Battleship, as if such a large vessel could be merely purchased like a play-thing for one to do with as he pleases. He and his "group" are currently in posession of Rheinland gunboats, how they managed to get their hands on them I do not know, perhaps they were esteemed reserve members who became infected, or something similar, but I am of the opinion that this group should be investigated by both the Rheinwehr and BAF, to determine if they are a threat that must be dealt with by violence, (//Or, if this matter requires administrative intervention.)
Honorably,

Mein Herren,
Once more, guten tag to everyone. This report will be relatively short and to the point. I launched from Alster Shipyard in the Hamburg System to respond to a Hessian threat in the Omega 7 system shortly after an ion storm had crippled several of our ships. Moving towards Bonn Station I received the word that the hessians were fleeing from the area. Not having much to do, I continued on my way to Stuttgart. Upon passing by Bonn I read one hostile contact on scanners. Being 12k away from my location I could not determine its position before the contact dropped off scanners. Moving into Stuttgart, I linked up with the rest of our forces and moved back into New Berlin.
As we moved to Bonn station, Several of my commanding officers docked and went off duty. This leaved me in charge of a flight of one HauptGrefreiter and two Fleigers. As we organized around Bonn station, the contact which I had previously lost on scanners a wile beforehand reapered. It was a Rebel fighter belonging to the Volk's Front. (// not a VF, an indie) After a heated political debate with the man and the conclusion being reached that he needed help in the form of a quick transfer to a mental hospital.
I ordered the two Fleigers present to open fire on the hostile for his own good. Only the fliegers engages as a I wanted to make sure the pod survived so the man could get help. The rebel was downed quickly enough and that was the end of hostilities for the rest of the day.
// i would have names and pictures to go with this, but for some reason screen shots are not working.
