Guten Abend,
This is surreal! The Corsairs took a BARGE to Dresden and faced us and Coalition! A massive chaos ensued between all parties, I rammed into a Coalition fighter!

Geschätzte Kameraden, sehr geehrte vorgesetzten.
I have two important things to report. They are connected. First, I intercepted a Liberty Navy ship in New Berlin. It was a Bison-class transport ship from the 46th to be exact "Navy-46th|MM-LNT-Courage" right off the planet New Berlin, so the Liberty Navy broke our laws. Here are the relevant paragraphs. And violations (Excerpt from the Rheinland Code)
§4.4. All foreign police, military and intelligence agency spacecraft of any size are banned from Rheinland space unless permission to enter is given by a High Command member of the official Rheinland's Law Enforcement, Rheinland Ministry of Defense or the Office of the Executor.
§4.4.1. Following organizations are considered as foreign police, military and intelligence agency:
Bretonia Armed Forces, except BAF|MN-
Bretonia Intelligence Service
Bretonia Police Authority
Crayter Republic
Gallic Navy & Intelligence Liberty Navy|
Liberty Police
Liberty Security Force
Liberty Insurgency
Kusari Navy
Kusari Police
Kempeitai
§4.4.2. Violators may be fined up to 10.000.000 SC fine and are to be escorted out of the Rheinland space by the shortest way. Ships which will not comply or commit violation repeatedly may be destroyed.
§4.4.3. Following organizations are permitted to enter Rheinland space for the purpose of trading with freighters, liners and transports, which may be accompanied by an escort of the same affiliation: None at this time
This is to break the law concerning military vessels of other governments in the Rheinland. Now we come to the cargo.
§3.1.1. Following cargo can be transported only by ships of the Rheinland law-enforcement authorities and organizations listed next to the respective cargo type:
Ageira White Boxes - Ageira Technologies, Deep Space Engineering, Universal Shipping and their affiliates
Armaments - Rheinland corporations, Law enforcement
Azurite Gas - Rheinland corporations
Blue Jillies - Rheinland corporations, Orbital Spa and Cruise
Criminals - Law enforcement
DT Fuel - Rheinland corporations
Hydrogen Cyanide - Rheinland corporations
Light Arms - Rheinland corporations, ships tagged EFL|
Military Salvage - Rheinland corporations, ships tagged B|-
Military Vehicles - Rheinland corporations, ships tagged EFL|
Munitions - Rheinland corporations
Nuclear Devices - Rheinland corporations
Plutonium - Rheinland corporations
Prisoners - Law enforcement Side Arms - Rheinland corporations, ships tagged EFL|
§3.1.1.1. Following organizations are considered as Rheinland corporations: Daumann Heavy Construction, Kruger Minerals, Rheinland Shipping, ALG Waste Disposal and their affiliates.
I asked the transport if he had a special license. He denied it and said that he was allowed into any system and wanted to bring these firearms to Fort Augsburg. Here is the data from my ship's records
At this point I began to search the ship. However, RHA scum then appeared and attempted an underhanded assassination attempt on me while I was working the case of the Liberty transport. Fortunately I was able to react quickly enough to take up the fight, but at the time I was flying a machine that would be used for future training. So the ship is neither well armed nor particularly fast or maneuverable. As the RHA pilot was faster than me and more maneuverable, I was just able to save myself in the hangar of Bonn station.
(Here is the data from my ship's records)
I heard over the radio that the RHA pilot then quickly took off before reinforcements arrived. however, the Liberty ship took advantage of this and fled in the direction of Frankfurt. Where it was stopped again by Kamerad [RM]Lt.Jurgen,Schmidt who destroyed the goods and escorted the Liberty cargo back to Liberty.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Ferdinant von Habsburg

I hereby report of a scout Unioner, named Klaus Schufter, who was spotted by Gunboat [RM]KKS-Raeren and me while on patrol through Thuringia. It was obvious he tried to escape, immediately when he got aware of our presence. We repeatedly ordered him to hold and stay down to no effect and he proceeded to jump to the Hamburg system. We followed, closing in and got in range to attempt and break cruise but he managed to jump one more to Bering. We followed again, slowly closing the distance, to get into weapons reach, all the while trying to verbally get him to stop. Our efforts were ultimately fruitless when he reached and docked on Pacifica Base, where we stopped the pursuit and returned to the New Berlin system.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,

Kein Gott, weder Ihrer, noch der meine, kann jetzt dem Wiedererstarken der Rheinwehr etwas entgegensetzen.

Guten Tag Oberkommando,
It was a moving day. I was patrolling with the gunboat KKS-Raeren. It started with scanning the cargo of MFN|Alpha.Neuss-1 in Sigma 15. During that scan, I noticed an Order vessel on my radar with the nametag Order|Lightbane. As the distance was too big, I could not pinpoint it's exact location. I decided to escort the Neuss-vessel for it's own safety, as It was unclear how the Order vessel would react.
Later I got joined by fellow Kameraden Bootsmann Niklas Schulz, Flieger Sandman, Kommandant Arne von Asgard und Oberleutnant Jurgen Schmidt. About to sign off as Frankfurt deemed safe, Oberleutnant Schmidt found the signal of the same order vessel I met in the Sigmas. At first the pilot seemed hesitant to talk with us. I assured him that none of my men would fire and gave him an escape route towards a nearby jumphole to show our intentions were not hostile.
We questioned the pilot about multiple issues. Why they attacked Rheinland forces in the past, why they collaborated with Corsairs and other unlawfuls. It's answers were somewhat convincing, though that doesn't make the past right. I will not go too far in details, as the following conversation gives all the info you need. I will await Oberkommando's opinion and steering on this matter.

After this encounter I trained and teached Flieger Sandman about Military basics including patrolling, cargo scanning and standard knowhow that a Rheinwehr pilot should know. We also chased after a Unioner, but he already made a detailed report about it, so no need to repeat that. He seems talented and eager to learn. If he keeps it up, I see a bright future ahead for him in our ranks.

Sehr geehrtes Oberkommando.
I hereby report of a group of RHA, ARZ and SCRA terrorist affiliates, who invaded Rheinland territory while I was on a training patrol with Vizeadmiral Habsburg and Fregattenkapitän Harrisburg as officers and Flieger Perish and Kohpeiss. Our radar showed the presence of previously mentioned terrorist elements In Frankfurt, after internal reports suggested their activity in Thuringia. Vizeadmiral Habsburg then decided to carefully start investigating and pursuing them. We caught them in New Berlin after following them for a while through the tradeline system. We engaged them near Kreuzberg in the Ruhrfeld, but had to retreat since the terrorist pilots were better trained. (Which I believe was also a valuable lesson learned, which no theoretical training can achieve, the lesson being that when ever possible, sharpen your skills and try to pick the battlefield in your favor). After our retreat, more well-trained RM-pilots took over and continued to fight. Our training ended with an evaluation of the indivual pilot experiences, moderated by Vizeadmiral Habsburg.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Kein Gott, weder Ihrer, noch der meine, kann jetzt dem Wiedererstarken der Rheinwehr etwas entgegensetzen.
I am pleased, to hereby report of a successful cooperate mining/transport operation of Kruger, DHC and RM forces.
I started patrol duty earlier this evening (2100), When commanding officer Vizeadmiral Habsburg, ordered me to execute guard duty for the Kruger Barge-vessel "Schwermetall".
I proceeded to escort "Schwermetall" through the tradelane system to planet Heidelberg, where we left the tradelane and crossed open space until reaching Hausenfeld minable area.
Two DHC mining vessels (DHC Kaiser 4 and DHC Erzgebirge) were already on site busy with mining aluminum ore. (They were clearly as professional as they were efficient). I orbited the area in a 1500-2500k distance.
I had to engage three smaller pirate vessels, likely snub-fighters, one of which was destroyed the two others managed to retreat (Pursuing was not an option under these mission parameters). No other hostile contacts were monitored in the whole endeavor. A second Kruger Barge "Leichtmetall" then joined the operation as I continued orbiting. When "Schwermetall" reached its maximum capacity, we both headed to Breuninger Depot in the New Berlin system, where I was redirected to continue guard duty for "Leichtmetall". The rest of the operation went as planned with the exception of one recklessly flying Rheinland police officer (Schulze, Klaus) who almost hit the "Leichtmetall" exiting a tradelane. The situation was resolved without further delay and commotion. The officer apologized and no damage was done to "Leichtmetall". From transcripts of inter-operational communication, I can savely conclude, that this joint operation turned out to be a success, both in means of financial earnings, as well as interdisciplinary collaboration.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

I've come across something interesting on my patrols. While on patrol with the KKS Raeren, Bootsman Niklaus Schulz, and Arne Von Asgard, we heard reports of terrorists in the area. We swept the system, and while doing so came across a unit of the Order. The Order unit kept blinking in and out of our radar, and as they are listed as hostile to Rheinland, we went searching for it. We were close to Sektor 7, which further amplified our worries about his whereabouts. Eventually, he was spotted near the Sigma 13 jump gate. As the gate was blocked by Arne Von Asgard, he continued to run from us. Eventually, the KKS Raeren assured him he wouldn't be harmed, and he relented. He cut his engines in the Taunusfeld. I did not like the location as the result of pirate activity was high.
However, he had some interesting things to say. He attempted to convince us that he was harmless and we weren't his enemy. However, I was very suspicious due to the Orders pirate connections. The agent said he was doing "Survellaince", which I highly disliked to hear, but he said it was for a different purpose. He said he came to hunt down Nomads, which brings me to my next point.
If the Order had come to do surveillance to guard against Nomad threats, he seemed to be cautious of a Nomad resurgence. I am not sure how much we can trust his words, but I suggest you take what you can from what I have gleaned. If there are indeed more Nomads and Order agents on the way, it would be best we stay informed.

[22.05.2023 18:11:43] Order|Lightbane: Officers, I'm an Agent of the primary fleet, one guiding the entirety of the Order.
[22.05.2023 18:11:55] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Schmidts question remains, why did you help the Corsairs against us?
[22.05.2023 18:11:58] Order|Lightbane: Primary fleet that guides the Order that is.
[22.05.2023 18:12:10] Order|Lightbane: I am slowly getting there, herr.
[22.05.2023 18:12:31] Order|Lightbane: I have yet to witness someone of my kind, from the Primary Fleet, assist anyone against any law enforcement.
[22.05.2023 18:12:33] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Look around you, the dangers of this area
[22.05.2023 18:12:40] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: We may not have time for slowly
[22.05.2023 18:12:53] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Give it time, Oberleutnant.
[22.05.2023 18:13:15] Order|Lightbane: If you have concrete evidence that proves involvement of the Primary Fleet against your people based on your speech...
[22.05.2023 18:13:19] Order|Lightbane: I am eager to see it.
[22.05.2023 18:13:22] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Ja, kommandant. [resigningly]
[22.05.2023 18:13:49] Order|Lightbane: Though, if someone from our secondary fleet, those that sometimes act in rather unusual ways, have indeed somewhat
[22.05.2023 18:13:49] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: We have full evidence of such acts recorded
[22.05.2023 18:13:59] Order|Lightbane: transgressed, then we can surely guide them.
[22.05.2023 18:14:18] Order|Lightbane: Militar, I have a sincere question.
[22.05.2023 18:14:27] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Proceed
[22.05.2023 18:14:36] Order|Lightbane: How would you act, if there was a renegade, apart from your primary ranks, causing chaos outside your control?
[22.05.2023 18:14:42] Order|Lightbane: Whilst you were totally unaware of it.
[22.05.2023 18:14:59] Order|Lightbane: This appears to be the similar situation.
[22.05.2023 18:15:34] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Did you not set the motion forward to allow that?
[22.05.2023 18:15:40] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Such as... allying with Corsairs?
[22.05.2023 18:16:09] Order|Lightbane: If you wished to ally with the Order, against someone like the Nomads, we surely would accept such an offer.
[22.05.2023 18:16:32] Order|Lightbane: We see no productivity in commencing frontal aggressions against someone who's different.
[22.05.2023 18:16:53] Order|Lightbane: Our sole enemies are the Nomads, their sympathizers, those who have falled into their miserable hands.
[22.05.2023 18:17:13] Order|Lightbane: However, Human enemies, ones that seemingly despise us, utterly wish us to be gone.
[22.05.2023 18:17:34] Order|Lightbane: For those reasons, we are forced to defend ourselves. You wouldn't remain static if you had a madman charging you wish a knife.
[22.05.2023 18:18:03] Order|Lightbane: Now, the Primary Fleet, as I am fairly certain, has never engaged in a frontal aggression against your people.
[22.05.2023 18:18:13] Order|Lightbane: Unless, some of you were puppets of the Nomads.
[22.05.2023 18:18:24] Order|Lightbane: In which case, we'd appropriately warn.
[22.05.2023 18:18:45] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Very well, I will take this issue and... recording to Oberkommando. See what they will make of it.
[22.05.2023 18:19:00] Order|Lightbane: I am not yet done, I have much more to express, inquire...
[22.05.2023 18:19:05] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Continue
[22.05.2023 18:19:16] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: by all means
[22.05.2023 18:19:18] Order|Lightbane: That incident that you're reffering to.
[22.05.2023 18:19:40] Order|Lightbane: There might have been ignorant secondary assets that maybe have done such awful deeds.
[22.05.2023 18:20:11] Order|Lightbane: If it indeed were the case, we'd be fairly ready to make up for the losses, guiding those specific individuals, sanctioning...
[22.05.2023 18:20:50] Order|Lightbane: Again, the "terrorist" argument that is sometimes tossed upon us, is mere lack of knowledge that lacks in certain people.
[22.05.2023 18:21:09] Order|Lightbane: If we truly were the terrorists, you would see us committing terrible crimes against humanity. Which, we do not.
[22.05.2023 18:21:37] Order|Lightbane: I also trust you wish to eradicate the Nomad infestation, assuming you're somewhat aware of it?
[22.05.2023 18:21:44] Order|Lightbane: Those beings aren't so dumb.
[22.05.2023 18:22:01] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: We have our issues with them for sure.
[22.05.2023 18:22:40] Order|Lightbane: And, the Order certainly does have knowledge into Nomad infestation, not only in Rheinland, but Sirius and Gallia-wide.
[22.05.2023 18:23:17] Order|Lightbane: You should know that we'd rather die like real warriors, than let them loose against us, humans.
[22.05.2023 18:23:43] Order|Lightbane: Though, I should admit that our kind is fortunate to have someone like the Order.
[22.05.2023 18:23:59] Order|Lightbane: You wouldn't wish to know all the terror that we have gone, and are still going trough on daily basis.
[22.05.2023 18:24:13] Order|Lightbane: Especially in the Omicrons.
[22.05.2023 18:24:52] Order|Lightbane: Unfortunately, we Human alliances, criminals and Nomad profiters seek war against us. Again, to eradicate us.
[22.05.2023 18:25:30] Order|Lightbane: Genuine criminals, and "lawful" contractors allying against someone like us? How does that make sense!
[22.05.2023 18:26:05] Order|Lightbane: There's many puzzles to be solved, Militar. And, I wish not to lose more people over foolish politics.
[22.05.2023 18:26:32] [RM]Fl-G.Sandman: Good evening you guys
[22.05.2023 18:26:52] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Very well then. I must go now, and report this back
[22.05.2023 18:26:56] Order|Lightbane: Ja, I'm done for now. Wish not to reveal any more than I already shouldn't have.
[22.05.2023 18:26:59] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Best of luck to you all.
[22.05.2023 18:27:15] Order|Lightbane: That's interesting, unexpected.
[22.05.2023 18:27:32] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Very well, I will report this to Oberkommando. See what they think about it.
[22.05.2023 18:28:09] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: However, for your own safety you do well not to gather too much attention around here, as the official stance towards the-
[22.05.2023 18:28:18] [RM]KKS-Raeren: K: Order is still considered hostile.

Sehr geehrtes Oberkommando.
I hereby report of a situation that developed two days ago. I was starting scheduled patrol from station Bonn, when all available forces were ordered to the Stuttgard system at the Sigma 7 Jumpgate immediately. Reports stated, a group of pirates from different factions (RHA, RAVE, HRZ), were spotted harrassing civilians. I went there to support my fellow comrades and superiors as ordered. Arriving on the AO, I saw the fight was already going in favor of the pirate elements, since they had the numbers on their side. RM-forces were outnumbered by three to one. Also the pirate ships were surprisingly well armed and armored. The fight were short and RM-forces had to retreat to regroup, when reports came in that pirates were also spotted attacking vessels in the New Berlin planetary defense area. At first I was hesitant to believe such travesty, since I found it hard to imagine such impudence, but upon arriving on site, I quickly learned the reports were true. Pirates openly attacked targets within range of the planetary defense platforms of NEW BERLIN. Me and the few ships that got away from the Stuttgard skirmish, quickly joined the battle and suffered massive losses. The RM-vessels involved were just to damaged from the previous fight. We were almost out of ammonition, shieldbatteries and nanobots at this point as well. Lucky enough, the planetary defense system worked as intended and managed to repent the enemy eventually. The escape pods from destroyed RM-ships were saved and no further pirate attacks were reported this day. But the damage was done. Not just did we suffer significant damage to our vessels and personel, but the RM-military was publicly attacked and defeated in the very centre of its house space, above the main planets surface. Judging by this situation, No one in the whole of Rheinland could and should vote against our recruiting and training budget anymore. We need the numbers. And we need the numbers available as soon and as well trained as possible. We can not let this stand. We can not let the pirates roam unpunished through our home.
At this point I have to reach out and name a pilot I had the honor to fight with side by side at the Sigma 7 gate. Rheinland police officer Rob Weiss, who joined in on the fight against the pirates. I salute his coviction and willingnes to put himself in harms way for the people of Rheinland. I have not gotten word from him since then, and I fear he got KIA which would be, again, a true loss to our home and our house.
