Achtung. This is Letnaunt Matt Black. I have a report of past two days to make.
It was two days ago when I received transmission of a blockade in Sigma 13 on open channels. It was NovaPG Blood Dragons that were running the blockade in the system. It was a good chance to cut the veins of Rheilands trade. Time was crucial and I ordered to launch my ship immediately. My Odin joined Blood Dragons craft consisting of 3 fighters, 2 bombers and a Cruiser by Sigma 13 jump hole. The leader gladly accepted assistance.
I happened to had a unique opportunity to see how The Blood Dragons tactics work. They have a strict command chain. There is always one fighter appointed as the head of the mission. He is ordering the other troops through the command channels, while participating in an onslaught himself. Craft is splitted into several groups according to numbers and patrol certain areas determined by the head of the assault. Invasion tactics seem to be specific. A Cruiser class ship jumps in first, then other craft follows. The leader of the mission is the last one to jump through a jump hole. He makes clear that no one is following. Blood Dragons tactics are swift, fast, well-timed and effective. It was almost poetic.
Keep your friends close and enemies even closer. I have come up with several theoretical solutions on how to counter their tactics, but who knows what are the other surprises that the Blood Dragons have to offer? I transferred this material to my personal log for further analysis, but until then these theories are only that theories.
As you know, NovaPG Blood Dragons are ex-Hessian fighters who adopted combat style from The Blood Dragons. With that in mind, it is possible that our fighters could adopt fighting style of these Ronin.
My mission with Blood Dragons went fluently and soon I was ordered to return back to Dresden with 10 million credits paid by their leadership. It seems that no foreigner is allowed into the holy system of Forbidden City - the Kyoto. The credits were transferred to our new recruits neural net as a refund for financing his own recruitment expenses.
On my return I met Hessian Cruiser named Varyag. Its Commander appears to know a lot about equipment and engineering. He took me to distant planet Malta, where I fully equipped my ship and finally set up final load out. My engineers were impressed by this optimal variant between firepower and Hessian protocol. I spent the night on Malta.
Yesterday I took a long way back to Vogtland for regrouping. I was given three escorts by RoS Outcasts. The journey went flawlessly and I disbanded my escorts in Dresden.
