[font=Impact][color=#33FF33]Hudson System - 08/27/817A.S.
Reports are just coming in, about our brave and fearless Rheinland soldiers, defending our beloved Vaterland!
According to the reports, a Libertonian Fleet was spotted and intercepted by a Rheinland Military taskforce 5 minutes ago!
The forces contain about.........one moment...........I just get the message, that it is not a fleet. Indeed, not a fleet!
Seems like our forces intercepted a single Liberty Battleship. Yes! A Libertonian Battleship, just right now in the Hudson system. We.........I just hear we have our RCNS eyes in the air, we will switch you live to the scene!
.......
Thank you Katharina! I am here live at the battlefield! I have to correct you Katharina, this is not the whole Rheinland fleet fighting against a Battleship, it is only a single Rheinland Bismarck Battleshipclass, facing the Libertonians!
As we can see from here, the Libertonians are missing their escort, a verry uncommon tactic for such a sized vessel.
.......
Meine Damen und Herren, if you just joined us, we have our brave men and women facing a libertonian l Battleship inside the Hudson system! Right now, we are not able to report about the shipnames, since the story comes in as it develops.
........
Oh mein Gott! Katharina, both Battleships are opening fire! This is the brute and uncut face of war!
Tell me if I am wrong, but you wont get this on any other newschannel!
We can see the first shells hitting the shields, this battle is serious! This is war, live from the scene!
I expect both big fleets arriving at the scene soon, so I dont know how long we will be able to keep up the livefeed from the battlescene!
.........
Thomas, are you able to get a closer look on the two ships currently fighting? Is there a way to get an identification of the ships? Our viewers would like to know their names!
Meine Damen und Herren, we will keep you informed on the situation as it develops.
Just one Synth Foods commercial and you will be back at the battlescene!
Only here on RCNS!

Meine Damen und Herren, we are back at the scene!
If you just joined us, here is a little update on the ongoing situation.
One of our famous Rheinland Battleships is facing a Libertonian Dreadnough Class vessel inside the Hudson system.
Our correspondent right at the Battlescene, Thomas Richter, will keep us up to date!
Thomas, have you been able to find out what ships we see on the live footage here?
...............
Ja Katharina and you wont believe me when I tell you this!
It is truely a rare sight here on RCNS. The enemy Dreadnough class vessel is the Libertonian Flagship herself!
The LNS San Francisco.
This news are not making this story so special alone, but now better to sit down!
Our Flagship, the RNC Ravensburg is protecting our borders and currently engaging the San Francisco.
.............
We can't believe it here, Thomas. We may get some specialists about both Battleships and their technology into our studio, later this evening.
Are you able to........
.............
Oh mein Gott. Verdammt! Both ships are catching fire, I am not sure if you can see this via the screens, but it looks like both ships are on fire.
Woohow, the San Francisco just lost two of their astern decks.
Seems like our brave men and women are givng them hell!
Was zum teufel? Was war das? *he mumbles something in german*
Katharina, did you see this in the studio? The ship disappeared! Right here. A bright glare and it was gone!
Seems like it jumped out. The libertonians have a working Jumpdrive on their ships it seems!
Katharina, do we have information if this is a prototype or on every Libertonian ship?
...........
Thomas, we dont have any information about this at the moment, but what is with the Ravensburg?
Is she still in place? You told us she is burning, how intense is the damage?
..........
That is right, she is on fire and we just pick up the first distress calls of rescue pods on the Civilian Emergency Channels.
The situation is unclear, but it seems like they abandon the ship!
We also have a Rheinland taskforce inbound, a Cruiser with several escort ships.
Seems like they are pickick up the survivors.
We cant tell you if the Ravensburg is beeing totaly abandoned or just partial.
...........
Alright Thomas, keep us informed when the story develops and we will be with you, right at the scene.
Only here on RCNS.
Yours Katharina Knapp and now a short comercial break.

Willkommen back to RCNS, this is Katharina Knapp and we are reporting live from the Hudson incident!
The Rheinland flagship Ravensburg is currently dead in the water, right inside the Hudson system.
Our last report from the front lines indicate, that her reactor must have been critically hit.
Several burned out MOX Fuel Rods are floating in space, which indicate the Ravensburg had to eject them, to get her reactorcore stable again.
We are switching to our reporter at the scene now, Thomas Richter.
......................
Thank you Katharina. We witness a really strange behaviour of the Rheinwehr right now.
They RNC Emden, a Cruiser class vessel, left the Ravensburg towards Rheinland territory.
When a transport jumped into the Hudson systems, the Emden stopped and halted the vessel.
What I can tell from here, it looks like a junker ship.
Wait, something is changing now. Both ships are setting course towards the Ravensburg.
I dont have any clue what this is all about. Rheinlanders moving junkers near their flagship.
Usualy they would shoot anything that closes into the 15 klicks security radius, but not this time.
It seems like the junker vessel is approaching a docking point. They must have something the Rheinwehr is in a vast need of.
Indeed, they have docked with the Ravensburg.
My pilot was able to get some of the chatter between both ships. Seems like the junkers are negotiating a price for their MOX shipment, they have on board.
Hell, how high is the possibility that a transport with MOX passes by, just when the Rheinland fleet is in the need of any.
Also the......oh, I see more Rheinland patrols arriving in the system. They seem to set up a more tight perimeter around the Ravensburg.
Seems like I can see some movement over there. The junker vessel just had undocked, Katharina.
The Ravensburg is in motion again and..........ACH DU HEILIGE -BEEEP-..........
*The radio can be heard in the background* "Attention, this is the Liberty Navy speaking. RCNS News vessel, clear the area immediately, or we will open fire. This is your first and last warning. Set course to the Hamburg system at once."
Katharina, I am not sure if you have heard this, but we need to get back to the Hamburg system.
I am afraid we won't be able to report life from the scene anymore.
Back to you into the studio. This is Thomas Richter, for RCNS.
.............................
Thank you Thomas for your effords in the field.
Meine Damen und Herren, it seems like the incident is not over yet. Our flagship is still in danger and we try to keep you updated about the upcomming battle. A Libertonian fleet, just arrived at the battlescene.
If you just joined us, here is a quick summary about the incidents.
Half an hour ago, the Rheinland Flagship Ravensburg managed to corner and heavily damage the Libertonian Flagship San Francisco, a Dreadnough warship class.
The San Francisco managed to flee with some kind of experimental jumpdrive, right before the mortal shells hit the ship.
Our Rheinland Battleship was heavily damaged during this encounter and ended up disabled and adrift in space.
The Rheinland Military was able to fix the engines of the Ravensburg with the unusual help of a Junker vessel, passing by occasionally.
Just now, the Libertonian Fleet arrived at the scene, to finish off the Ravensburg and pretend her leaving to Rheinland territory.
We will be back soon, to report for you.
This is Katharina Knapp and you are watching RCNS. All the news, that is fit for you!
