Guten Tag! Today was a busy day in Rheinland's war effort. The patrol into Omega-3 started normal, with our force being combined with a strike group from the Kusari Naval Forces. I got a distress call in the Stuttgart system and was ordered by a Fahnrich to head to the Omega-3 system where we ran into a group of Corsair Capitol vessels, all Osirises. We managed to defeat all of the vessels, however, we lost an RM Battleship in the exchange of fire. It's sacrafice allowed us to destroy the other vessels. Guncams below of the final battleship fleeing and being destroyed.
The next point of the engagement I ordered a defensive perimeter to be setup around Rugen after the Fahnrich had to go off-duty. Since Feldwebels are not normally allowed to be alone in Omega-3 I sent a priority communique to Vize Admiral Putzkammer, who, seeing all of the secondary fleet in the system, allowed me to stay to command them.
This opportunity was not squandered, as we ended up getting into a fight with the BAF in the system. We managed to take out a few of their fighters.
But in the end we lost 3 of our own in quick succession due, in part, to a capitol class Mako entering the fray.
I called for a retreat, as a BAF battleship class vessel had been hammering us also this entire time, armed with Solaris battleship turrets.
We arrived back to Rugen, 3 pilots down, but secured the station. I ordered the remaining troops back to Rheinland into defensible positions in the Stuttgart system and returned each of them to normal patrols. I sent a priority communique to the RMHC about the Mako that opened fire and destroyed our fighters.
