Gut Evening dear Oberkommando.,
following incidents happened during my patrol in Rheinland yesterday:
01: Assistance of Rheinwehr primary fleet against pirates
Launching from planet New Berlin my patrol took me near Bonn station where I spotted a hard fight of Rheinwehr primary fleet members against pirates that are known to be members of a gang named Rorry's Renegades. I assisted the Rheinwehr soldiers and by some time our forces were victorious. At least one bombers and one gunboat of unknown ship design were destroyed, a third ship was also involved but disappeared from my sensors during the battle. It might have been able to flee. During this a member of Rheinwehr secondary fleet disobeyed orders from Major Landers and attacked the pirates, too during the fight. He was afterwards disciplined by the Major.

02: Escorting ALG-transport from New Berlin to Omega-7
Continuing my patrol I encountered the ALG-transport Danzig, hauling Nuclear Devices into Bretonia. I offered to escort the ship bis jumpgate from Omega-7 to Omega-3. Below you will find some points of my escort:
I wished the Danzig a safe flight and resumed my patrol through Omega-7 and Rheinland core space again.
03: Vessels violating Rheinland weapon restriction
Flying near Bonn station I spotted to freelancer transports. One of them had loaded illegal Hessian and LWB weapons from a fight against zhese Piraten. I confiscated the weapons. The other freelancer had his Pelican transport equiped with two Flamecurse. I ordered the pilot to unmount these weapons and change them for civilian standart weapons. Dieser pilot complied to and so I let them fly on.
04: Reports of pirate activity Stuttgart:
While waiting for the freelancer pilot to change his weapons, two ships with GHOST-tag flew past me. As I had met these pirates before I knew there woud be some trouble around so I tried to chase them. Unfortunately, they disrupted the trade lane to Stuttgart jumpgate so that I was not able to pursue them at the first.
Later on I received a open frequency by on of these pirates demanding a vessel to pay credits to him if wanted to live on. I tracked down the location of the signal. The pirate was near Ulm border station pirating a freelancer transport. He was already shooting at the vessel when I arrived so I activated the weapons of mein Phantom and engaged the pirate bomber. During this fight the transport was able to make an emergency docking at Ulm.

Fighting this pirate has revealed that these pirates have seriou problems fighting our pilots in Phantoms and so I was able to inflict serious daamge on his ship. If he had not gotten backup in the last moment I would have been able to destroy his ship. Sadly enough his companion supported him with additional nanobots to get his ship repaired. In the end I was forced to eject from my mauled Phantom when both bombers fought me around Ulm Border station. On the other hand at least three transports could be saved from these pirates by my interception *****
Right now I am getting a shuttle to Brandenburg Border station and get a new Phantom as fast as possible.
