Flieger Kreutzer joined me for a patrol and we started from Dresden, and the initial plan was to continue the patrol to New Berlin and from there Stuttgart and Omega-7, however, after we had finished patrolling Dresden and was moving on to New Berlin, we spotted a Junker frigate undocking from Bautzen station. At first, the Junker was complying to orders, but after a few questions and an offer to escort it to Omega-3 gate as the captain had said they were headed to Bretonia, the ship opened fire with no forewarning. Sadly flieger Kreutzer's ship had an engine malfunction and the ship was destroyed by the Cerberus fire coming from the frigate, as it was drifting in a straight line.
After that, I had to pursue the frigate alone, and obviously the firepower of my Wrath was not enough to take down a frigate, especially when the frigate was headed toward the Giftnebel. After doing as much damage as possible, considering the known Hessian presence in that cloud, I had to break off the chase as the frigate was already too deep inside the cloud, and return flieger Kreutzer's pod to New Berlin.
Once in New Berlin, after flieger Kreutzer had received his new vessel, we got a transmission from BDM| regarding Hessian activity in Dresden system, so we decided to return to Dresden, but before we had reached the gate, we spotted a [RF] vessel not far from the border station, who soon was joined by two [RHA] fighters, and we decided to remove the threat, which unfortunately wasn't successful enough on my part. After dealing some damage to the Hessian ships, my hull was hit by a nuclear mine which damaged the targeting systems and soon after my ship was destroyed, so I'm not aware of how the fight went from there on, but I'm sure flieger Kreutzer's report would be more detailed in this regard.
