PRIORITY:Low ENCRYPTION:High IDENTIFICATION:Wachtmeister Karl Hoffmann RECIPIENT:Bundespolizeidirektion SOURCE:Nibelung Polizei Plaza, Planet Neu Berlin SUBJECT:Patrol Report 21.05.826
Guten Tag,
I was unable to return to Planet Neu Berlin to make a report for the past couple of days, so I will include my patrol report from 19/05/826 in this report.
On 19/05/826, I was on patrol in the Hamburg System when I came across a Freelancer Serenity Class Transport “Flying_Catfish_II” who was carrying a full load of Black Market Munitions. I attempted to stop the Freelancer, but he decided to run, taking advantage of the distance he gained on me via the Trade Lane Network. I chased him to the Bering Jump Hole where he proceeded to jump into the Bering System. Seeing as I had no back up, and Bering being in a state of war once again, I decided to break off the chase and head home. I was unable to take a copy of the cargo scan, but my Gun Cam did capture an image of the Freelancer fleeing when asked to stop.
During today’s patrol. I responded to a request for aid from the Rheinwehr regarding Auxesian ships who entered Hamburg in pursuit of Unioner vessels. I arrived to Planet Hamburg late and the situation was already dealt with by the Rheinwehr forces. So I decided to comb the area for anymore Auxesian or Unioner ships to no avail. Once I was satisfied that the Bering conflict didn’t spill into Rheinland proper, I departed to the Neu Berlin System where I received a tip about a Corsair ship harassing civlian traffic in the Stuttgart System. I departed for the System at full speed where I met the Corsair “Buro.des.Machismo[TBH]” who was blocking the access to the Neu Berlin Gate.
As expected. The Corsair did not surrender when I attempted to take it into custody as outlined in section 2.3.3.1 of the Rheinland Legal Codex. The battle that ensued went on for a few minutes, but unfortunately the experienced Corsair piloten was able to get the upper hand when my fighter struck a mine. I was able to escape destruction in my pod once again, and a passing patrol was kind enough to bring me back to Planet Neu Berlin.
The logs from chase with the smuggler and the battle with the Corsair will be attached below. Unfortunately the logs from my short discussion with the Rheinwehr regarding the Bering belligerents were lost due to the damage received from the Corsair.
