To whom it may concern,

An incident occurred in the Nottingham System today, which involved ships of the Rheinland Military active and reserve fleet, as well as ships from Rheinland's intelligence service reserve fleet. I have just sent a report about it to the BAF DIS. I am due to keep you informed as well. I have attached a copy below.

This report is about an incident that took place today in the Nottingham System.

A BMF ship reported the presence of two Rheinland capital ships near the comet in Nottingham earlier today. I was at the helm of the HMS Vindictive at the time, on patrol near Freeport 1, and headed there to have a check. I called for reinforcements just in case and the HMS Redoubt, which was nearby at the time, responded.

We met the Rheinland fleet at the Omega-7 jump gate. There we were joined by the HMS Resolution. The Rheinland ships were the RWK Graf Zeppelin, an Elbe, and the MK Prinz Eugen, a Donau. They were later joined by the RNC Braunschweig, a Tirpitz, which came from Omega-7. I tried to order them out and tried to reason with them. I cited the treaties we had with Rheinland verbatim, as well as the Charter, but they would not yield and instead they started preparing for battle. I ordered the fleet forward, but forbade any fire for the moment. We tried to push the carrier into the jumpgate with our hulls, but that was not productive and it did not change their decision. The Tirpitz managed to slip through our fleet during these maneuvers. They could very likely be on the loose in the middle of Bretonia by now, but this weakened their fleet at the jumpgate, so I ordered the use of lethal force. Our fleet, now further reinforced by the HMS Firefly, prevailed and destroyed the Elbe and the Donau without casualties in capital ships on our side. Our escorts, which were two fighters from the reserve fleet, were fighting their bomber in the meantime, this one from their primary fleet itself. However, reservists being as undisciplined as they are, they did not heed my orders when I would have them cease fire and let the Rheinland bomber go, as it was not in violation of any treaties or laws and merely acted in self-defense, as permitted by the Omega Treaty. This disregard of orders on their part led to one of them getting shot down by a Nova torpedo. The other promptly disengaged, probably moved by fear, so we let the remaining Rheinlander return home.

Patrols are still searching for their battlecruiser. Last time TLAGSnet registered them was in Manchester, but they could have used the jumphole network to go anywhere. The audio transcript and some pictures and scan data are in the attachments.
