*** MESSAGE BEGINS ***

I was under the command of Stabskapitanleutnant Lang in patrol when we identified an Osiris entering New Berlin. We chased the vessel out of New Berlin, to Hamburg and then finally to Bering. We weren't able to destroy the warship, but made sure our sovereign space safe from it.

A Cardamine smuggler identified as 'allecs' carrying the said material in a large transport was stopped midway between Brandenburg and Bonn by Stabskapitanleutnant Lang and myself. He was ordered to drop his cargo, but tried to deceive and evade us. As the vessel disobeyed orders and engaged its engines without permission it was destroyed.

We've had a number of Liberty ships trespassing our space, including one trader transport with a clear enough link to their military, [SA]-LNT-Lake.Horon, the ship was escorted out and ordered not to return to Rheinland space. Another number of ships with shady affiliations with Liberty* dared show their faces in New Berlin, including one flying a Huntress Cruiser of all ships.

Another problem is Mercenaries and Freelancers utterly ignoring military directives and Rheinland law. I can't really count the times I've said and heard from other RM pilots the phrase, "Are you aware there's a military ban in Rheinland? You will leave Rheinland." just to have these pilots return to our space later. This has become a great distraction from our more pressing duties sometimes. I hereby beg command to contact CNS and make our regulations widely available to both citizens and visitors, so they won't be able to claim ignorance of the law and we can act swiftly and without restraints against the offenders.

I've issued an order to a Freelancer named Jabba to leave Rheinland. He refused orders, and I made it abundantly clear that he was not to return as Stabskapitanleutnant Lang ordered me back to deal with the said Osiris that showed up in system. Later, this Jabba pilot returned to Rheinland and I gave him an ultimatum to leave. He was grouped with a trader and an unknown military** named Mannix. Apparently they were both escorting the trader. I gave Jabba an ultimatum to leave our space which he not only ignored, but also managed to be granted landing permits in New Berlin (I'm personally seeing that the man responsible loses his job). As the ship launched I opened fire. In an unthinkable development, the military engaged me in defense of the Freelancer while the trader, incapable of really joining the fray, threw the cheapest kinds of threats and imprecations at me.

The mess was cleared by an ion storm that ended the engagement.
