[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Sehr geehrtes Oberkommando,
The Hessians have tried yet again to attack Leipzig with a strike force of fighters. We managed to intercept them near Battleship Altenburg and a ferocious fight broke out. Unfortunately we lost Leutnant Amott and Flieger Fleisher's fighters in the process - their pods have been successfully recovered. However, we did not falter after our Kameraden went down and managed to pick them off one after the other. I can only commend the bravery of our Soldaten - they stood their ground and admirably performed their duty.
That being said, I am hereby adding [color=#009900]Hauptmann Larissa Schmitt, [color=#009900]Leutnant Viktor Amott, Gefreiter Matthias Wagner and Flieger Detlef Fleisher to the list of personnel considered for the "Defense of Leipzig" Medal.
While chilling outside Bonn Station, I have encountered a Freelancer zhat suddenly opened fire upon me without any reasons, I told zhe Captain to hold fire but zhe request was ignored which I should have ordered but more gunfire continued. Eventually zhe captain stopped where I was going to lay a fee but unfortunately zhe ship was docking with Bonn. Eventually zhe captain of the ship undocked where I have managed to put an end to such a misfortuante life.
Auf Wiedersehen,
Natalia Wolfer.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
I have just returned from a long lasting battle. Again our beloved Vaterland was attacked by pirates.
This time we made contact with a newer quite unknow group that call themselves "Jokers". They attacked a capital ship of the secondary fleet right next to the Outpost near Omega 7 gate.
Me and the Flieger Fleisher arrived at the scene, glancing at the beaten up battleship surrounded by no less then FIVE gunboats. Like flies they swarmed the RNC diving in and out of battle, confusing the tower gunners.
It is obvious that it would be suicide to engage these gunboats without the support of at least one bomber, so we called for assistance in the official channel.
When we engaged them with a stike force together 1 secondary bomber and 2 secondary wraiths, we focused our fire on a single target hitting them from various angles to hit them more effectively. Needless to say that we resolved the threat without casualties from our side: 2 of the Gunboats went down, unfortunately the rest managed to escape.

Today's patrol was both a success and a loss, mein herren. We set off to the Stuttgart System with Feldwebel Gabriel Engel, when we heard of 'Jokerz' craft engaging our battleships.
Their force was a sizeable one, consisting of plenty of gunboats.
So, Feldwebel Engel, and I with the support of some recruits and Freelancers, dived into the fireworks.
The battle was victorius, even though we couldn't save the battleship: Two gunboats were downed, the rest retreated to the Omega systems.
These 'Jokerz' were really... strange to say the least. They acted and fought like clowns. Good riddance.
After a refuel and repairs, we set back to Neu Berlin, when we engaged a duo of Red Hessians.
This battle didn't came out as good as the last one, Feldwebel Engel started a duel with one of them, while I attacked the another Hessian craft. The Feldwebel, the rekruits, and I got shot down, one by one. Luckily the escape pods were recovered by a Freelancer who could take us back to the nearest military base.
My guncam got seriously hit when I first jousted the Hessian. I couldn't take pictures after that hit.
I have decided to 'take a lovely stroll' in our beautiful Vaterland today. Starting from the Stuttgart System, I made a throughout sweep of Neu Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, und Stuttgart systems, but there was nothing to report, no criminal or any activity at all. Rheinland was lifeless tonight.

Yesterday was my third patrol, we began in the New Berlin system at Battleship Strausberg.
We had reports of seven Renegades at the Hamburg jump gate, we were three fighters and they had gunboats, we were heavily outnumbered but they soon left for an unknown reason. With this, we continued our patrol and headed to Omega-7. We found nothing in our patrols of the asteroid fields and moved onto Omega-11. We circled solarius and yet again all was clear so we headed back to Stuttgart. This when something actually happened, though it was unexpected, electrical failures on Feldwebel Gabriel Engel's ships caused him to ram into Hauptmann Theo Sittlingen's ship causing the destruction of the Feldwebel's ship. I went back to collect him and we docked on Planet Stuttgart for repairs and to take Gabriel Engel to medical.

Guten Tag,
This is my first report in the Military. I have received my Military papers and I was assigned to my Wraith earlier today. After that, I proceeded to the debriefing room for today's schedule. My first task was a simple patrol of New Berlin system.
Leaving the bay with my Wraith, I proceeded to the patrol's first waypoint where everything was clear. Waypoint after waypoint and nothing that needed attention untill I was about to reach the final waypoint. There was a pirate gunboat attempting to pirate two transports. I immidiately called for backup and Herr Engel along with Herr Reims responded. After they arrived to the scene, I was instructed to commence the attack on the pirate. Our attempts were fruitless and we needed more firepower.
Herr Engel had to retreat for reasons he didn't provide us with and Herr Reims had to retreat. I called in the nearest patrol to assist me in taking it down. RNC-Moskau and two other secondary fleet pilots jumped in and damaged the gunboat badly and just as it was about to take the final hit, it ran to Kreuzberg depot. These Junkers don't know what they're doing.

Guten abend sirs.
My 90-ARKM-N45 went through her final flight checks last night and should now be fully functional. Herr Eisenach was on duty with me at the time as I did the final control calibrations. It went pretty smoothly, considering a Reaver was stalking us throughout the final performance trials. One of our secondary pilots, a Lukas, was also on duty at the time and was nearly captured by the Reaver before he managed to make it back to Planet Stuttgart. My ship was not combat ready however, and both me and Herr Eisenach returned to Berlin with Lukas still on Stuttgart. Eisenach pursued the Reaver towards the Hamburg lane and I retreated to Braunschweig to finish equipping my Wraith.
It seems my final flight training session ended with a trial by fire. The Reaver appeared briefly near one of the trade lanes before reappearing with a friend near New Berlin. Both ships immediately attacked, even though numerous battleship patrols were present at the time. Their piloting skill was more amateur than I expected, one named Jade repeatedly collided with his own mines and combined they managed to cause no noticeable damage to my ship before they decided to retreat. The fight lasted approximately 40 minutes, and due to the high number of secondary ships in the area I hesitated to use my ship's ordinance to full effect in fear of hitting the other Military ships in the area. The Reavers retreated and an ion storm arrived a few minutes later which grounded my ship.

Guten Tag!
Yesterday I was patrolling the Trade Lanes in the New Berlin system.
I started my patrol from Bonn station and I patrolled the Trade Lane web in the system, ending back at Bonn Station.No hostility was encountered on this route.
I then, decided to head to the Stuttgart system and so, as I docked on the Trade Lane to the Stuttgart Jump Gate, I encountered a group of Rheinland Capital Ships engaged in a battle with members of the RR| and the Jokerz|.
The enemy gunboats were in pursuit of one of our cruisers with the goal of completely destroying it so without any hesitation, I rushed in to help the Rheinland Side.
The cruiser which was underattack managed to approach Bonn Station and at that moment the hostiles broke up and scattered.I engaged in pursuit along a few other ships of a hostile Jokerz| gunboat, but we weren't able to stop it and it escaped us in the asteroid field.
We didn't manage to take down any of the hostiles, but fortunately, no casualties were recorded on our side either.

[color=#FFFFFF]Today I was involved in a skirmish against a group of Hessians in the Stuttgart system next to the Neu Berlin Jumpgate. I answered to a distress call coming from Majorgeneral Kaiser. He was alone against a Thor Bomber, an Odin Very Heavy Fighter and a Heimdall Gunship. Kaiser was already in battle when I arrived at the scene and I was immediately ordered to engage.
My first target was the Thor, whose pilot was not paying attention to me, and as result his ship was turned into dust. In the meantime Majorgeneral Kaiser took care of the Odin and was able to quickly shoot it down. We then focused on the Gunship and destroyed it as well.
No more enemy activity was spotted in the area and I headed back to base.
