Guten Tag Oberkommando.
Today, Battlecruiser KKS-Sweboz completed a retrofit upgrade at the Ring. Upon launching for its maiden voyage, still lacking a main forward cannon, Red Hessian ship callsign Gunnhildr was immediately sighted in orbit of Planet New Berlin. Red alert was declared and emergency communications were sent to the Rheinwehr. KKS-Kaiser was moored for a protracted period at Planet New Berlin awaiting the developments of the battle before emergency disengaging, according to comms. No other Rheinwehr ships were in the vicinity.
The battle went poorly for the unprepared KKS-Sweboz - without weapon systems calibrations and lacking key equipment & support we aggressively engaged Red Hessian ship Gunnhildr to defend the Hauptstadt. After KKS-Sweboz sustained significant hull damage, KKS-Kaiser reached the skirmish which had drifted past Potsdam by now. According to analysts, both Rheinwehr ships were poorly equipped to assault the light Hessian cruiser. Upon taking critical damage, with multiple components destroyed and several decks venting atmosphere, the KKS-Sweboz attempted to make a retreat to the Ring where its reactor went critical, detonating the ship pelting the orbital stations and Planet New Berlin with debris. Few escape craft made it.
