Gutten tag. This is Oberleutnant Matt Black speaking. This report is to fullfill Leutnant Kaspar Meisnerr's report with detailed skirmish in Omega systems with Corsairs.
A few days ago revolutionary forces lost Leopard in New Berlin system to heavy Bounty Hunters fire. Luckily Hessians Mikhail Todsturm and Konrad Kurze, who were guarding the site, managed to push back Junkers and prevented salvaging of the vessel. Leopard did not take any critical damage and was retrieved back to Vogtland a day ago for mechanics to work on it.
Leopard was still in dry-dock when Leutnant Kaspar Meisnerr accompanied with Mr.Todsturm, Mr.Kurze and Miss Olsen led a successful attack in New Berlin system.
Rheinland Battleship was destroyed in the attack, while Red Hessians took no casualties.
Total of 2 million credits were gained from the attack with additional voluntary 10 million credits donation from an unspecified Zoner as mentioned.
After successful attack on Rheinland Leutnant Meisnerr decided to launch a direct onslaught on Omicron Gamma deep inside the Corsair territory. Leutnant Meisnerrs forces were increased when Leutnant Dieter Lenz launched his bomber in space. However, our mediator, Miss Olsen did not participate in the attack. I had to observe the attack on long range scanners.
Red Hessians led by Mister Meisnerr managed to advance deep inside hostile territory and launched a full scale attack in Omicron Gamma. The battle failed with 3 Hessian and 2 Corsair casualties, but it was the first of such large attacks against Corsairs in a long time.
Finally, all the remaining fighters regrouped at Dresden and fixed Leopard joined the pack to attack New Berlin once again. This time I led the attack myself. Two traders were killed and three more were taxed on this attempt with total of 6 millions credits acquired. Then Bounty Hunter Cruisers started to appear. Hessian forces managed to take down one Battlecruiser, but took heavy damage while fighting the other. After taking several fighter casualties I ordered Hessians to retreat back to Vogtland again, where we regrouped once more.
I also led another assault into Omegas. The pack happened to cross a Farmer Alliance IDed, Corsair Battlecruiser by the name of IkArO. I ordered my men to engage the vessel, whose captain then claimed that he is of Farmers Alliance and pointed me towards famous Farmer Alliance member Zeev. However, I did not believe him one bit, especially when he fled towards Cadiz to call for backup of another Corsair Cruiser called Muten.
However, the attack on Cadiz was a success and Muten was destroyed.
IkArO then fled from Cadiz as well. Red Hessian forces chased him up to Cambridge system, where I gave up the chase. Our mediator Miss Olsen will soon contact Zeev for information on this IkArO and his suspicious background.
Corsairs then gathered force of 2 fighters and 2 gunboats for a counter-attack. Unfortunately Leutnant Kaspar Meisnerr was in Dresden at the moment involved in arms trade and Mikhail Todsturm was on his way to Malta to restock his cardamine supplies. Corsairs striked at most inconvenient time and pushed us back to Ronneburg station. The siege was broken only minutes after that and Red Hessians returned to Vogtland once more.
While Red Hessians made a significant progress in Rheinland, our conflict with Corsairs remains at a stalemate.
I cease to amaze Leutnant Meisnerr's potential in leading successful attacks against both Rheinland forces and Corsairs. Leutnant Meisnerr is the most talented of our young crew. (Matt isn't talented, hes experienced:P)
