DELIVERING MESSAGE...
Gut Evening dear Oberkommando.,
following incidents happened during my patrol in Rheinland:
01: Bounty Hunter battleship entering Rheinland space without permission.
The Mako Destroyer Starlancer was spotted in Hamburg system Upon asking the kapitaen for permission he denied this but set course further into Rheinland. He wanted to fly to Omega-7. Neither me nor officer Hasenfeldt of he voluntary Rheinland Polizei could stop this battleship and no Rheinwehr ships could be contacted. I have forwarded this to the criminal data base already. 02: Copper ore smuggler intercepted:
A Kusari freighter named Kuki was intercepted by me in orbit of planet Stuttgart. He admitted to transport the cargo to our enemies in Liberty. Ich ordered him to drop the cargo but refused and tried to flee into the lanes. A BOWEX-convoy heading to New Berlin assisted me in hunting down the smuggler and he was quickly destroyed, although the smuggler was already in trouble facing the Geilenkirchen alone.
Despite this I warned the Bretonians not to wage their war against Kusari on Rheinland space. ***
03: Hessian encounter near New Berlin jump gate:
While resuming patrol to New Berlin, a Hessian pilot in a Sabre tried to enter New Berlin. He opened fire on the Geilenkirchen and I tried my best to avoid his firepower. Officer Hasenfeldt and a Rheinwehr officer of zhe Reserveflotte assisted me in this battle. Despite this I was forced to retreat with the Geilenkirchen due to the critial damage. The Hessian fled when facing officer Hasenfeldt.
04: Reports of pirate activity in Omega-7:
When taking my Phantom while the Geilenkirchen was repaired, we received from the ALG-transport Danzig a report of GHOST-pirates and Corsairs in Omega-7. Before officer Hasenfeld and I could start to investigate this, a Roc-bomber with said GHOST-tag used the jumpgate to New Berlin.
We tried to intercept him but another GHOST-bomber entered New Berlin and we fought both pirates. After some minutes both bombers withdrew to Stuttgart into the Ostnebel. Unfortunately, I have not guncam records of zhis matter, but I advise all pilots to watch out for these pirates!
Here is the commchannel record:

Ghost~of~Louis-Garneray: This is the Galactic Outlaws and Shadow traders. I have a military activity in G3. All pirates, feel free to engage this bo.
[RFP]Thomas.Wolthers: We should look out from Bonn
Both officer Hasenfeldt and I were watching out for them but TLAG-sensors showed the pirated heading to Omega-11. They have since not come back.
05: IMG-Atlas trying to smuggler copper ore to Liberty:
The IMG-Atlas Savarona-1931 was intercepted earlier during my patrol. The kapitaen was transporting copper ore, to Kusari, as he said. I first let him go, but asked officer Hasenfeldt in New Berlin to watch this transport, as I suspected him to smuggler the ore to Liberty. Shortly after Herr Hasenfeldt reported to me that the IMG-transport had indeed tried this and docked at Dortmund station when engaged by Herr Hasenfeldt.
06: IC-transport violating cargo restrictions:
Upon the finished repairs on the Geilenkirchen, I patroled Frankfurt when I spotted the vessel Warren.Ward, transporting Super Alloys. As he was violating the cargo restrictions I ordered the vessel to stop and drop the cargo. He refused and I activated his weapons. During this fight his transport got severely damaged but the Geilenkirchen got a critical hit on the engine, so I was unable to pursuit the violator. Guncam records are already forwarded to the Rheinland Criminal data base.
