Greetings.
Today the Rheinlanders came well into Texas before we gave them quite a beating. They fought well - but not well enough. This was the one of the first major raids in some time, so perhaps they are remobilizing their fleet again.
I launched from the Mississippi, which they had apparently bypassed earlier, and scouted out the opposing task force for our units in New York. Then, after our guys came through, we managed to hold most of them in place while we nabbed their boats, one by one.
We lost a few fighters, and some warships were crippled. An Elbe of theirs jumped out, but came back later only to get itself ventilated by our antimatter. I'd estimate that Rheinland lost almost a dozen capital warships, with maybe half a dozen strikecraft.
Supposedly our Widerstand friends were also picking off retreating hostiles in Bering, but there's been no confirmation of that yet. Back in Texas however, we also were engaged by an Outcast Sarissa and some odd Rogue Scylla. Both of which, along with RNC-Elba, I was able to gun down. Visual attatchments.
Keep an eye on those Rheinlanders, pilots. That's all for now.
Sincerely,
Vice Admiral Teerin,
Liberty Navy First Fleet.

"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
