SUBMITTER:Vizeadmiral Theodor Wilhelm Falk von und zu Sittlingen RECIPIENT:Rheinwehr Database SUBJECT:Patrol report
Meine Herren,
I am just reporting back from todays elongated patrol. The Vaterland has been rather quiet and no notable enemy forces have been encountered, however, quite a bit of civilian trade passed through Rheinland.
About half-way through a checkup of Omega-7, I encountered a Bowex vessel, the Bowex)Raleigh, jumping in from Omega-3 at the respective Jump Gate. The Kapitän was on the way to Munich with a hold full of gold ore. Seeing that his route roughly coincided with the systems left in my patrol specifications, I offered to function as an escort, which was gladly taken by the Kapitän.
We proceeded through Omega-7 without any further incidents, however, shortly before jumping to Stuttgart, a transmission from a Daumann Heavy Construction vessel headed the same way, the DHC-Wangen, came in. We halted at the Ulm Border Station until the DHC vessel managed to catch up, ultimately joining the small convoy.
I continued to scout ahead for both trade vessels until we finally reached Munich. The DHC vessel made it's way to Planet Nuremberg to unload Ship Hull Panels, while the Bowex transport headed to Augsburg with the load full of gold ore. I myself used the opportunity to refuel at the Battleship Regensburg.
As I launched into space again to continue my patrol, the Bowex transport crossed my way again, heading back to Bretonia with it's cargohold filled with cigars. Having enough time left on my shift, I decided to provide safety on it's way back up to the Bretonian border. However, as expected, this would not have been necessary, seeing that no notable incidents occured until we reached the Omega-3 Gate in Omega-7. The transport jumped and I made my way back to Planet Stuttgart where I signed off.
On an additional note, during conversation on our way to Omega-7 the Kapitän revealed some insights on the Bretonian military situation on the Gallic front, namely Libertonian support for the hard-pressed Bretonians.
This is no surprise, taking into account that DHC vessels have already reported the same, however, it is still worthy to mention in this report.
Hochachtungsvoll, Vizeadmiral Theodor Wilhelm Falk von und zu Sittlingen, Rheinwehr Hauptflotte.
