Good work everyone. We have caused a great deal of grief between traders in the Rheinland area, along with Omegas and Kusari. Right now the SF is preparing to strengthen the protection for their traders, a costly endeavor. The populace is losing faith in the Rheinland leadership, and the sso| have been stopped in their tracks as far as we are concerned.
I will be rewarding heavy armor upgrades to my fellow squadron pilots for their good work.
Find me at the base.

The sso| gunboat, named Payne's pet, has been destroyed. We managed to salvage three working Corsair gunboat turrets. We will keep these for weapons on our newest gunboat under construction. Also, at 20:00 last night I defeated the SF fighter, flown by Firebird, in a dogfight. Unfortunately he jettisoned before I could put in the killing blow. Likewise, the SF traders, Hyperwave, and Defiant have been destroyed and pirated, respectfully.
Hopefully this will lower the BAF's confidence in Rheinland's anti-terrorist activities, and higher the tension between these two houses.
Tonight Onepu and myself set course for Bretonia, our target, the SF fleet returning from an incursion into the Tau systems.
Unfortunately Onepu suffered technical failures that stopped him from continuing. However I enlisted the help of a few fellow pirates. The Ghosts of Raghriz sent a Dreadnought and two fighters to assist us, and the Gaian, Blackknight also fought the SF, however he fought alone against them before we could arrive. His ship was destroyed, but we have yet to find out if he survived or lived.
The Helghast were also coming to assist, but were unable to continue due to some errors.
By the time the Dreadnought had arrived the SF fleet has disappeared (logged off) and we were unable to locate them. We instead set course for Planet New London and engaged the ships there. Causing dozens of casualties. The sheer defenselessness of New London, the capital of Bretonia was laughable. We were engaged by one battleship patrol, which was quickly repelled, and by the local police and trading companies.
The Outcast Dreadnought, the Ampoliros, also inflicted heavy casualties among the civilian population of Bretonia. In Cambridge.
After it was clear the Sirius Federation fleet was not willing to produce its fleet the pirates returned to their normal agendas. Leaving at least 2 battleship groups dead, and hundreds of civilian and police casualties.
This has been a great victory against the Sirius Federation.
Perhaps after awhile they will surrender this war against my people.
I apologize for my absence from this latest campaign against the Sirius Federation. I do believe that the equipment malfunction occured when we encountered the Rheinland battleship group in New Berlin, and we were seperated. I was, however, able to make my way to Kreuzberg, where my ship is being worked on as we speak-- the Junkers say that it should be ready by tomorrow morning. I hope to return to Bruchsal soon, where we can hopefully plan a second attack on those of the Sirius Federation who fled.
Glad to hear that. I'm hoping to have farther attacks against the Rheinland Military, or Sirius Federation within a day or two. Hopefully the Ghosts of Razgriz will be there to assist us.
I had been expecting the Sirius Federation to make a more offensive stance towards us, given recent acts against their traders.
My ship was fully functional today, just as I was promised by the mechanics at Kreuzberg. I decided to start the day off with a bit of pirating. Things were going along just fine until I met up with two specfic traders at the Sigma-13 jumphole in New Berlin, by the names of WhyBother and Logan Conner. After I asked each of them for a kind contribution of 1 million credits each, WhyBother opened fire on me, and Logan Conner shortly followed suit.
I was able to destroy Logan Conner's Large Transport quite easily. He was carrying a small shipment of diamonds, which I immediately tractored in from the transport's remains. I do not know if the pilot of this vessel survived, nor do I really care.
WhyBother, however, turned out to be a slightly greater problem. His Container Transport was tougher than I expected [He must have used nanobots and shield batteries about 4 times... :dry:]. He was also very well equiped for combat situations; he had many powerful turrets installed on his ship that I did not take the time to identify. The fight lasted for about 5 minutes, ending with the destruction of my ship. I ejected before the killing blow was struck, and my escape pod was picked up by a near-by Red Hessian patrol, who were kind enough to transport me back to Vogtland Base in Dresden.
So, here I am, stuck at another stranger's base, without a ship. Luckily, I should be able to purchase another Sabre here with the money I collected today from traders in Rheinland. I'll be heading back to Bruchsal soon (I mean it this time) to re-equip my ship with the proper weaponry. I apologize for my loss, and I swear that the next time I meet up with WhyBother, he will die.
Yes, we will have to exact revenge upon the trader, we can't afford to be taken lightly. Let alone by a trader in Rheinland Space.
I have just returned from my inconvenient two-day trip and will be furthering our goals as soon as I can.
For now, focus on attacking the Rheinland Military (player faction as well as NPCs). We have a new donater who will be giving us a fully equipped Rheinland Cruiser in the next weeks. For security precautions the name of the individual will be kept secret. All I'll say is that the distraction we will cause with it will help his goals very much. Enough to go to the expense to stealing and equipping a cruiser from our enemies, the traitors to the Rheinland people, the Rheinland Military.
Recently I engaged two Rheinland Military Wraths, around New Berlin. The first encounter left me severely damaged, and forced me to withdraw to Bruchsal. The second one, however, was a bit more fortuitous. Even though I again suffered severe damage, I left one of the Wraths in the same predicament, and the other with minor damages.
The third was the high point of the night. Quickly dispatching the first fighter, I moved onto the second. After a few runs against each other, I let off a torpedo that caught the fighter straight on the nose. The blast, damaged my ship and I had to retreat from the duo of battleship patrols that had happened by. Later, I have found that the two pilots had punched out before the torpedoes could destroy them. It would have been much better to have killed the pilots, but the loss of such heavily armed ships will certainly put a bit more stress into their week.
News on our cruiser has been supplied to me. It seems the man sent to get the cruiser to us has been delayed. We won't be receiving the cruiser for another week at least.
Yesterday, we fought off a Rheinland Gunboat, captained by a man named Terpsichore, and a Colonial Viper with PLH colors, from Bruchsal base, which they were attacking. The Rheinland gunboat was quickly driven off, with Onepu in pursuit, who soon afterward severely damaged this ship, and it had to retreat.
During this time I was fighting the Colonial Viper. It was a pretty even match, but understandable as he was flying a remarkable ship. After Onepu showed up again, we quickly gained the upper hand. Unfortunately Onepu suffered mechanical failures, again, and was forced to retreat to Bruchsal for the time being.
I quickly docked Bruchsal and equipped a loaned Sunslayer torpedo. When I came out, I found the PLH fighter gone. However, upon further searching, I found it near Mainz Storage Facility. At first glance, it looked like a hopeless battle for me, in my single fighter. But with the help of a few Unioners to distract the police and military, I focused all my attention on the fighter.
Eventually it flew right into one of my torpedoes, which destroyed all of its guns. The fighter quickly retreated from Frankfurt.
The next day we engaged an SF fighter and an RM cruiser. We damaged the cruiser, but it escaped. We destroyed the SF fighter, but we think he might have jettisoned from his ship before it exploded.
We also destroyed an Armored transport escorting a Bs| fighter. It was destroyed along with the fighter in Frankfurt. A ship, flown by a relatively unknown pilot named Orion, escaped from Onepu however and was unable to be found.
I apologize for not reporting in for so long; I was on a trip out in the Omicrons looking for a better weapons system for my Sabre.
I returned to Rheinland yesterday via Omega 15, and as I was passing through New Berlin, I decided to make a quick stop off at Kreuzberg to see if the Junkers had any new equipment. However, as I passed the tradelane linking Bonn to Dortmund, I came in contact with a Rheinland Military pilot in a Wrath named Damefrieden. He asked me to leave. I kindly responded with my Tizionas, taking down his shields immediately.
The battle was short. I nearly crippled the Damefrieden, and he couldn't even get past my shields. Before I was able to land the killing blow, he activated his cruise engines and fled. Unfortunately, my Sabre was not equiped with a cruise disrupter at the time, so the pilot escaped me. However, his ship was in such a terrible condition that I'm not even sure if he could have made it back to the nearest Military base without exploding. I do hope he made it back, however. Maybe he could stir up the Rheinland Military a bit and get them to increase their numbers. It's been a bit boring out here as of late; so few Military officials to kill.
I made it back to Bruchsal without any other problems. I am now more focused on other matters here. If all goes as planned, I should have a fully functional Gunboat by the end of the month...
