Departing from the Strausberg, CLASSIFIED alias CLASSIFIED, and myself, alias CLASSIFIED made our way into Dresden via the Jumpgate.

To our surprise, there was no guards posted by the criminal elements on the Dresden side. The trade lane was still operational, although following lead to a Bundschuh held Bautzen Station. Here we started to encounter some resistance to our presence, but we managed to evade pursuers. From then on we following the broken trade lane rings to what used to be Pirna Border Station, the criminal elements do not seem to have made use of what is left.

We continued to follow the broken chain of trade lanes, and we eventually reached Leipzig Station. It would seem that the Red Hessians have made great use of the station, as it now supports mooring fixtures for larger ships. Needless to say, it is a priority target for the military to destroy. We also discovered that they are still attempting to mine the field, although without the ability of Rheinland Corporations it is hard to say how effective they have been.

We were unable to investigate the Giftnebel cloud, owing to the surge of Red Hessian activity to our presence. We had to made our escape from the system sooner than preferred.

Departing from the Strausberg, CLASSIFIED alias CLASSIFIED, and myself, alias CLASSIFIED made our way into Thuringia via the Hamburg Jumphole. CLASSIFIED had previous knowledge of its location.

Once in the system, we almost immediately came across a Unioner. Upon investigation of where he came from, we also spotted a Unioner cruiser orbiting one of the planets. We choose not to engage the individual, as he instead provided us with some intelligence on where to best find Federalist activity. He pointed us in the direction of the large cloud in the system, and we thanked him for his service. We began by flying to the visible planets to see if there was any identifying markers into the cloud, in doing so we came across the Bayern standing guard near the Frankfurt jumphole.

We were unable to find a marked entrance into the cloud, so we tried our luck once more and flew in blind. Luckily, this paid off as it was not too deep into the cloud when we spotted what is most likely the Federalist headquarters. They already seem to have their own shipyard and supply station constructed in orbit. Unfortunately we could not stick around in the area as we had already alerted their response forces.
