The Leopard has managed to return to Dresden safely today and it has been decided to test the mettle of it's new weaponry against the limitless enemies of the Red Hessian Army. So we proceeded to New Berlin which had seemed to be completely undefended at the time. Knowing the recent opportunity most traders are pursuing in a route to Kusari we have made way to the Sigma-13 jump hole, only to notice a pirate cruiser had already engaged in interception there. The cruiser was increasingly hostile at first, but chose to hail us with a proposition of cooperation the moment a Rheinland Military ship had appeared on close range scanners.
We have chose to engage the Military Wrath with our superior firepower, knowing that we had the upper hand. During the course of the battle we have made a tactical mistake however, following the Wrath into the nearby asteroid field only to be engaged by a whole squadron of Wilde and allow the enemy to hide behind asteroids from the gunfire of the Leopard. We have maintained the advantage however, regardless of the weird displacement anomalies the Wrath was suffering, until the first independent ships started to arrive a few minutes later. Within a matter of a minute the enemy force was reinforced by another Wrath, a Bounty Hunter cruiser and one more ship which I had not managed to scan. We could not stand a chance against this combined firepower, and the Leopard was incapacitated by a lucky shot to the engine. I managed to tractor in the crew's escape pods and make haste towards Dresden, losing the pursuit soon after.
This attack was uneventful, with no losses on the enemy side. It proves that every time we strike we must quickly disappear soon after, especially when the strike takes place in New Berlin. The Vogtland hauling crews have already been ordered to pick up the abandoned Leopard from the site of the battle as soon as the enemies clear off.
I hence formally put in a request for the acquisition and outfitting of a Loki Light Fighter to start off my Light Fighter training. The Wrath cannot possibly match the agility of this ship, a skilled pilot should be able to outmaneuver the Military dogs with ease and cut down our losses to their superior codename weapons. If this request is granted, I will require help setting the ships' IFF to match the one used by the Red Hessian Army.
