Red Hessian Reporting Facility

[Varyag]

A glorious day for Hessians.

I set out from Dresden yesterday to interdict RM near planet New Berlin. We came across ICO as usual, but of course it seems that they spend more of their profits upgrading engines and rear armor then firepower, more on that later. I was then engaged by a RN cruiser. After a short battle the ship was destroyed and I went on my way to resupply. A different RN cruiser decided to try and intercept me. He was responding to his comrades SOS. With half of my bots left I killed my engines and engaged the cruiser not wanting to draw it close to the Dresden Jump Hole. The second Cruiser was finished without major damage as well. Still with supplies on board, I turned to New Berlin again and was finally chased off after RM brought out its flagship to intercept.

A funny thing happened during all this, the local merchants where actually giving me intel on RM ships and allies. It seems to be just as we thought; our people are growing tired of RMs totalitarianism and are, for now, quietly rebelling against their rule. This gives great credit to our cause.

Now for the ICO. While the engineers where completing repairs to the old girl, I came into contact with some Outcast brothers over long range coms. It seems it was time to show Sirius the true nature of the corporation known as ICO. They have been invading our territory, interrupting our operations, and causing my crew general annoyance for too long. We gathered at Vogtland and after a long chase we caught them. We where severely outgunned and outclassed the largest ship we had was the Varyag to their battle cruiser and gunboat, the rest of our fleet was fighter class craft. I ordered all cannon to open fire and an interesting thing happened, they dispersed like roaches after about 45 seconds. Only one fighter remained to fight and was dispatched by the Outcast pilot named Nyx, her eagle made short work of the ravens talon. The rest of the ships either docked or ran.

Mission complete, we headed home for a celebration.

Also I was able to score about 6 more nomad guns off one of the RN cruisers.
