SUBJECT: Patrol Report (Wachmann Krupp 001)
Guten Tag.
A Variety of events will be covered in today's report. The first of which was my encounter with two Freelancer pilots, armed with Rheinland Military grade equipment. When I attempted to approach them they opened fire. I retreated to a safe distance and attempted to hail them again, however they did not respond. With no alternatives left, I had to engage both targets. Do to one of the having been a freighter, I was able to safely remove their threat. However men with the exact same name returned within a minute and opened fire on me again, I was forced to call for assistance.
By the time it arrived however, the two had disappeared, vanishing from all visuals scanners. With nothing else remaining on scanners, we fell in together and began a standard patrol route. My partner excused himself at the border station in Hamburg, claiming engine troubles. I continued into New Berlin, only to un-expectedly encounter a ship bearing slaves. When I halted the craft and began to question the transport's captain, a Republican vessel arrived on it's way to the Hamburg system. A few brief words were exchanged and, obvious the transport's captain took offence, for he or she fired several volleys at the Republican Transport. I proceeded to place them under arrest and escort them directly to Vierlande.
