A glorious day for the Hessian cause! I had just finished eating breakfast with my family in our quarters when I received an urgent message: a Corsair cruiser was in Dresden! I sent an order to scramble all available fightercraft and ready the Sternenfaust for immediate undocking. In a matter of minutes, I was on the bridge of the flagship as she undocked. The Corsair had not been spotted; indeed, was not even within sensor range of Vogtland.
So, we waited. Leutnant Black was already in space, and Rekrut Lenz flew his bomber all the way from Sigma-13 with all possible speed. When the three of us joined in space near Vogtland, we decided to go hunting. Our first destination was the New Berlin -> Dresden jump gate. Nothing. We took the tradelanes all the way to Leipzig with no sign of the Corsair. Then reports came in of him having fled to Frankfurt...we made our way to the jump hole to Frankfurt, and jumped in only to find he was back in Dresden again!
This time, the Matt and Dieter went through first, in an effort to flush him out before I jumped in. But instead, they found him fleeing! They gave chase while I jumped through. Oddly enough, he was headed towards Vogtland...Corsairs have tried to land there in the past, and I hoped that this one would be so foolish so that we could imprison his entire crew. But he slowed to engage the fightercraft, allowing me to catch up. It was a simple slugfest, with little maneuvering from the target...he actually chose to target Matt's Odin instead of the Thor or my cruiser! The result is, I believe, better shown than told.
An Outcast thanked us afterwards, saying that the cruiser had been causing trouble...I have no doubt, as I found nuclear mines in his hold, in addition to some Hessian pilots. A decisive victory by a force composed solely of Hessians. Let us hope that this is only the first of many such victories. For the Fatherland!
