Oberst Wolthers hier.
The last patrol through Rheinland space let me believe that I am the last law enforcer. Otherwise I cannot understand why no backup arrived for me.
Let me begin from the start.
Hessian presence
During mein patrols I sadely had to witness that the Red Hessians moved heavy capital ship forces around Hamburg and New Berlin. As mein Wraith
was not enough to deal with the Hessian capitals, I kept ein safe distance and performed scans of them. Scan logs:****
Smugglers of political refugees
Near Lubeck ein freelancer tried to smuggle criminals with hacked ID stating them as refugees. I ordered the pilot to unload them at Lubeck and relaunch
into space after. The pilot complied so I did not orderein fine and let him proceed with his journey. Logs:***
Cryer Bison with political refugees and Hessian support
Near Dortmund station I intercepted a Cryer Bison transport named Ragnar, which was smuggling criminal elements out of Rheinland, too. Unlike the freelancer the
Cryer pilot did obey mein orders. When Hessian capital ships arrived on he scene, the pilot seemed to know them as he hailed the ships.
As such, I ordered the refugees to be dropped right near the stations.
Instead the Bison fled while being covered by the Hessians. Unfortunately, I was only able to damage the ship before mein Bergelmir was
crippled by the cruiser and gunboat fire. Logs:***
