After receiving a system wide distress call from military forces heading to the Stuttgart system I was sent to investigate the situation. Apparently Rheinland forces had met and engaged with the known criminal, Rip Red Rorry, and were currently engaged with said target in Stuttgart.
On approaching the Stuttgart jump gate I was ordered by the Pressburg to assist Federal Police forces in the area. The Police force, consisting of one Cruiser on standby and one Mjolnir super heavy fighter, were tackling a lone fighter pilot1 and investigating reports of a cloaked Unioner cruiser in the nearby area. The Mjolnir was in bad shape and I attempted to assist him with limited success. The police pilot was forced to leave the fight temporarily due to the damage he had taken and on return a hostile gunboat arrived to assist the Wasupu. Fortunately at this moment the fleet that had been pursuing Rorry in the Stuttgart system arrived unannounced and drove off the hostile ships before we took any losses.
During a later patrol of Frankfurt I ran into a Gas Miners Guild pilot who claimed he had heard rumours of strange activity in Frankfurt and had come to see what was going on. I gave him permission to accompany me; figuring he would be less of an issue if he weren't left to his own devices. We spotted a corsair bomber2 crossing the lane to the Munich jump gate; he was destroyed with minimal resistance3. We never found the source of the strange activity mentioned by Herr Shimakaze but I think it was likely related the base reported to have been destroyed by Rheinland forces in Frankfurt around that time.
