ID: Peter Schubert Rank: Gefreiter Target: RHA Oberkommando Subject: Some foolish hunters got smoked...
Guten Tag Kameraden,
Today intel spotted several capital ships of the bounty hunters near our bases, causing a direct threat to our operations. I started my bomber, while the Hessen and the Jeschke were prepared for combat. It turned out that the big enemy capitals dissapeared, however we had several gunships, including a bomber as our main targets now. Our comrades of the SCRA assisted us in that battle and wer were able to take out 2 of the gunships, while the last one docked heavily damaged. Their bomber somehow managed to run, but I am sure we will get him sooner or later...

Today, Panzerschreck vas in aktion again. Ich decided to upgrade ze ship to a Behemoth klass Transport, instead ov ze former Pirate Transport, to reflekt mein ovn belief over Rheinland engineering being far superior to any ov foreign, especially any ov rogues'.
Ze ship ist doing perfektly fine, und as ze first aktion report fur ze neu Panzerschreck, ich have have destruction ov a Daumann miner fur you. Seeing zat Omega-11 vas empty, me und mein krew decided to head to Omega-7 Kruger field, und ironikally enough, ze miner ve found in ze field vas a Daumann one!
He vas asked to donate 5 million kredits to die volksrevolution, but he vas stupid enough to refuse... So instead, he decided to play a cheap trick on us und destroy his ore before his ship explodes, but vell, zat trick is getting really, really, old. Ich didn't fall fur it! So, ve retrieved 1,249 units ov Cobalt Ore from ze Daumann before his death, und gave him anozer chance to save himself und his krew... But seeing zat he refused und even started insulting us, ich gave him vhat he deserved - A kouple ov hours in his pod, or maybe even more!
I have some duels I fought for the Vaterland to report about. Plus I will add some pictures of our recent Anti Capital Missions against the Corsairs.
First I met a Bounty Hunter near planet New Berlin some days ago.
As I didn´t like his presence in Rheinland I engaged and killed him.
Later I met an independent Hessian in a Thor called Franz Richter. We followed some Hunter Gunboats to Omega 15 but they could flee. However an EDGE Fighter followed us and opened fire, but I could kill him with my Super Nova Antimatter Cannon.
Some days later I patroled through Omega 5 where I met Berny from the Black Sails. Though it seemed that he is the better fighter I could eliminate him with one off my good old bloody Nukes.
Another Cannibal was there too called Sara Castro. I engaged him and he had the bad luck to fly in one of his Nukes. Sara Castro
When Omega 5 finally was clean I needed some repairs at Ronneburg. When my ship was ready again I travelled through the Vaterland. In Hamburg I met a RM Gefreiten called Kai Siegfried.
After the fight I landed on Wedel and got me a beer and some sleep.

Kameraden,
The AGS launched an attack in the Alster area and encountered some fools of the Polizei. The AGS had no problems with them, so I took care of the Military pilot who was there standing by. He was an easy target for me and got destroyed very fast.
The RFP was still there and the AGS asked me to jump in because it would be better since they had only bombers and I could do more damage in my fighter. It was a very easy task, the RFP kept running to Alster but we managed to take their Mjolnir out. The last one of them docked with Alster.

Today me aboard ze Leopard II und Herr Amsel aboard ze Jagdtiger did a komplete klean up fur sistems Omega-11, Omega-7 und Omega-3. Ve started our run from o11, vhere ve ran into a Daumann miner vho vas rather ignorant tovards us und thought ve are just idiots like himself... Vell, too bad fur him, he didn't last long!
Seeing zat sistem vas kompletely quiet aftervards, ve decided to leave fur o7 sistem, vhere ve ran into 2 Kruger Hegemons right after jumping to sistem, und vhile Herr Amsel vas taking kare ov one ov zem, ich got rid ov anozer one, vho vas rather incoherent, vhich ist nicht really unexpekted from Krugers zese days!
Most important part ov our patrol vas vhen ve decided to move to o3 sistem, und after taking kare ov a Kanzler-Loving Freelancer transport, ve ran into a Korzair kruizer, vith tvo Titans as ezkort. Being as unskilled as ze korzair pilots are, ve managed to easily take kare ov zem vith our tvo Heimdalls, und even zough after ze kruizer und one fighter vas destroyed ze last one decided to run, he didn't succeed.
Later on, as ve had returned to o11 und Herr Amsel had decided to do anozer patrol around ze sistem, he ran into a korzair-loving Pirate in a Kusari Explorer, und receiving ze reports on zis, ich decided to take ze Stuka out fur a spin, und it vas a quick one, as ze Explorer beat ze dust not long after ich got zere.
To add to zis report, zere also vas a short fight in o7 later on, vhen Herr Gukel had run into trouble vith some Bounty Hunter Gunboat, and seeing zat ich vas kloseby, ich managed to get zere in time und get rid ov ze Hunter. Ze fight vasn't even a challenge fur me, as ze Hunter gunboat kaptain vas one ov ze least experienced pilots ich had ever seen! So, Vith help ov Herr Gukel in his Loki, ve managed to get rid ov him quick enough.
To sum it up, One (1) Daumann Hegemon, Tvo (2) Kruger Hegemons, One (1) Freelancer Transport, One (1) Korzair Kruizer, Tvo (2) Korzair Titans, One (1) Pirate Kusari Explorer und One (1) Bounty Hunter Gunboat vere destroyed during our patrol, vith no loss - or even notable repair cost - in our side.

Damen, Herren, Omega-7 sistem vas no longer a mining field last night, as it had turned into more ov a battlefield zan anything else! Vith der Militar pocking zeir nose into our ground again, things vent dovnhill, but just like alvays, our men und women ov die volksrevolution managed to teach yet anozer lesson to zem und show zem vhy shouldn't zey leave zat stinky hole zey alvays hide in.
Ze fight vas an eazy one, as ve also had support ov a kouple ov mercs, zat even zough ich didn't trust, still proved uzeful. As ze fight vith Militar kame to an end, ich personally had to fight 2 Hunters, vho veren't much ov a challenge, but still managed to do slight damage to mein ship, costing a small repair bill. Zat doesn't matter zough, as spending a kouple ov hours in zeir pods drifting around gas klouds vould definitely teach zem!
To sum it up, total number ov Seven (7) Militar fighters und Tvo (2) Hunter Mantas vere destroyed during our last fight vithin ze Omega-7 sistem.
Another clean up of the systems Omega 7, Omega 3 und Omega 41 was completed.
We encountered some hostiles while on a patrol, and luckily for us, while in the same time bad for them, they were up for a fight instead of just running in shame. Most of the hostiles were Corsair fools mixed with some Bounty Hunters. Needles to say they fell quickly to the might of the Army. Among the hostiles we wrecked several larger capital ships.

Kameraden, our war on the Corsairs continues. I am sure you've already heard of today's skirmish in Omega-41, and while it was not a decisive victory, it was very much a tactical one. We've managed to hold for as long as possible against the enemy hordes and successfully dispatched one of their capital ships and several fighters and bombers, including one of their Elders. This will take them some time to rebuild.
But there was also another thing. Any of you who have paid attention to their scanners during the battle have probably noticed more than just the Corsairs there. A group known to us as the Phantoms has been snooping around. We have caught them in Omega-11 after the battle, around the Omega-54 jump hole. I made sure to question them and force them to wipe their navigational scanner data before they were allowed to leave. The attached conversation log may be reviewed by any of you for reference.
In case you are unaware of who exactly these Phantoms are, here is a short briefing based on our past dealings with them:
The Phantoms are a terrorist group bent on the destruction or dissolution of all lawful governments in Sirius. Their methods to achieve this range from the overt (such as mass murder of civilians and military alike) to covert (infiltration and subversion of factions, turning them towards their own ends).
Now, I am aware that the Phantoms have not been heard of for about a year now. Either they have been in hiding, plotting something big, or the group has simply disintegrated over time and what we see now is a new, reformed group. Either way, we need to gain further tactical information, therefore all units are now encouraged to interrogate any encountered Phantom units in an attempt to gain as much data about their current goals and methods of operation as possible. Do NOT open fire unless provoked. And most importantly report all encounters with the relevant comm logs here.
Remember kameraden, knowledge is power. We need to know what we are dealing with.
Regards, Hoerst

[RF]Stakhanov: Alexey: So. You see, we had a little problem...
Thrasymachus|pH: I saw the Corsairs. Rather numerous, but not too skilled. Is that what you're referring to?
[RF]Stakhanov: Alexey: Not really. They're not too big of a problem.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: This is Major Gunther Hoerst of the Red Hessian Army. Foreign fighters, identify yourself.
Thrasymachus|pH: We are Mithras and Thrasymachus of the Phantoms.
Mithras|pH: Mithras: Other than my codename, there's nothing else to know.
Thrasymachus|pH: A bit of a Lesestuck I suppose.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Indeed. You are aware that this is Red Hessian space, ja?
Thrasymachus|pH: Of course we are aware. We hold the utmost respect for the Red Hessians.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Then I need to inquire about your business here.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: What are your intentions?
Thrasymachus|pH: We are passing through. Moving to the Freeport in Omega-41
Thrasymachus|pH: Do you mind if we move behind this Planetoid to protect us from the Radiation before continuing?
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Proceed.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Stakhanov, keep with us.
[RF]Stakhanov: Alexey: I am.
Mithras|pH: Mithras: So, we were going to Freeport 5 to fix a problem on my ship... you see.. the ID system is broken.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: I saw you scanning our and Corsair forces in Omega-41. Surely you do not mind if I request some of the data you've gathered on our enemies first?
Thrasymachus|pH: We could collect some data, yes. Of course, we'd prefer it to be our small secret.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: A secret... from whom exactly? Just so I know.
Thrasymachus|pH: Well in the heat of battle, words tend to slip out. We wouldn't be very useful spies if we were known to be spies, would we?
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Indeed you wouldn't.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Transmit me the data, and I will let you on your way... for now.
Thrasymachus|pH: The data on what?
Mithras|pH: Mithras: This radiation is chewing out the armor plating from my hull.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Scanner data from Omega-41 that you have obtained. In addition to that, I would request you remove any scanner data on Omega-54 that you have obtained.
Thrasymachus|pH: We've taken no data on Omega-54.
Thrasymachus|pH: However, I'll give you what I do know about Omega-41.
[RHA]Schwarzvogel: And I'm in reality a modelling star.
[RF]Stakhanov: Alexey: Yeah, right. You closed your eyes.
Thrasymachus|pH: We told you, our ship is malfunctioning and must be repaired as soon as possible.
Thrasymachus|pH: Omega-54 was the quickest way out of Rheinland.
Thrasymachus|pH: You may choose to believe me, or you may choose not to, but this is the trust.
Thrasymachus|pH: Truth, rather.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Make sure all the visual data is gone. Next time, be sure to transmit your intentions to standing Red Hessian forces if you
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: wish the enter Omega-54.
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Any RHA or RF vessel will do.
Thrasymachus|pH: We will hold every intention to do so.
[RHA]Schwarzvogel: *grumbles*
Thrasymachus|pH: May we go?
[RHA]RHC-Jeschke: Sehr gut. Proceed.
[RF]Stakhanov: Alexey: Oh well. Resuming patrol.
