Hessians got way more unpredictable with their recent action in Omega 3 star system.

Today me and Llorens engaged in protection of IC convoy under attack by Red Hessian Army. Our further reinforcments consisted of Hornviper and Maverick and thanks to them we've managed to hold out there for so long. From IC convoy, consisting of two transports: Smyrna and Monmouth only the latter survived. Escort was anihilated and as we were outnumbered and outgunned we tried to buy enough time for second IC transport to escape.

What was strange, Hessians engaged without demand like they ussualy do to traders. After accusation towards them, Hessians opened fire quickly afterwards. Gunboat leading the assault is exactly same as those which SCRA use: Storm class gunboat. Within taskforce ranks I spotted Gunther Hoerst which may have been mastermind behind this assault. Timing and engagement zone was perfect with single thing that went wrong for them... us. I believe guncams will tell you the rest of this story. To end this Monmouth managed to reach Aland's safety before receiving critical damage. I believe this happened due to our diversion to distract opposing force.
