A distress call from Gefreiter Albert Holst was picked up by my intercom. First information I got was that a group Hessians had been spotted near Bonn, New Berlin system. The Gefreiter was outnumbered. I left from Moselle one minute after.

Near Dortmund, I came across a civilian Gunboat captain of Daumann named Hans. His ship was the DHC-Frustereated. His aid will revealed to be precious. We both heared the same distress call. On our way to Bonn, his radar spotted a response on the screen twenty kliks below plane and forward. We proceeded to the closest intercept.

The hyper-luminal interuption of the fourth trade lane leaded me to battle zone in an instant. A wing of Hessians was indeed occupying the lane. I have no information regarding what has happened before my arrival but when I arrived, Isaw Albert beeing hit by a Odin. I therefor proceeded to intercept and destroy the bandits.
The ennemy forces were composed of Ulrich Weiss from the RHA with his Odin. 2 pilots from a wing called the [G-41] composed of a certain Anna Manshtein and a Hans Muller. That wing obviously is part of the Hessian army and were flying Odins. This needs to be confirmed. Another Hessian flying a VHF was to be seen as well : Wilgelm Tarkin. In addition, one Hessian cruiser was seen : The Dieb from the Assassin. And, the last contact was a RHL ship, flew by G. Hess. Meyer. No information on that ship could be picked as the battle started.
Our forces were composed of Albert Holst and I from the Rheinwehr. The DHC Gunboat mentioned before, the Wraith from Valkyrie-1 and Adam Cinderheim, no info on his ship. And at last was the RNC-Buchenberg.

I’m afraid what follows in the report is based on impressions rather than visual fact. I believe the battle zone split up in two different areas. One with capital ships and the other with VHF. I do not detain informations on the second battle zone. But I assume that it went well as the gunboats came back quickly. Afterwhile, one of my sidewinder eliminated Ulrich Weiss from the RHA and Captain Hans of DHC shoted down 3.

The batlle turn into our advantage as the ennemy was fleeing. A last attempt of the G-41 to concentrate fire on the Frustereated failed as the image recording of my black box shows. The chase against the last standing Hans Muller from the G-41 leaded us to the asteroid fields nearby.
- At around 9Dark30 SMT ;
As we were pursuing Muller, something strange happened. We were hitted by an far artillery fire. Most obviously, those shells were mortar. My radar couldn’t pick anything. Mostly cloacked, this war ship has the advantage upon us. This broke our chase of Muller and put us in a rather delicate situation. Beeing hit by mortars of unknown origin in an asteroid field isn’t recommanded. I setted course back to Strausberg to reload ammo and ended the flight.
