Gutten tag once again. Transmitting report. While being on Freital, my mediator, Miss Olsen, contacted me via private channel and reported about high traffic in Dresden system. I arrived at Dresden immediatly.

Vogtland could not spare me any troops at the moment and I acted out alone. A decisive and quick blow was needed. I striked "Bautzen-->New Berlin jump gate" trade lane. The Daumann appearantly were warned about disrupted trade lane and ordered traffic to stay away from the threat, as no vessels showed up in the area.

Fortunately an unexpected attack on Daumann did not fail. No one expected launching a direct attack after the trade lane came back up. Some trick I learned from the Blood Dragons...

I jumped directly to Bautzen itself. A Daumann miner was in the area. He tried to escape once my ship was sighted at the station, but failed and a battle emerged. I acted as quickly as I could, Bautzen took minor damage from my mines, but the mining vessel was critically damaged by Sunslayer Torpedoes. (oorp: he F1ed out at the end).



Mission objective was to inflict as much repairable damage as possible, rather than destroying the targets themselves. That will increase repair costs for the Daumann decreasing their income, until it becomes too expensive for them to maintain mining operations in Dresden system and with rough materials further depleting, they will be forced out of the system.

The materials in Rheinland corporation owned clouds will deplete within a decade and skirmishes such as this make it impossible for Daumann to make any profit. This may lead to decomission of Bautzen, Leipzig and eventually shut down of the New Berlin jump gate.

For now I have moved to Omega 11 to skirmish and weaken Daumann instalation of Solarius, as they seem to be gathering in the area. Auf wiedersehen comrades.
