Subject – Pilot Report Guten Abend,
The secret operation "Stealing From A Thief" has been successful. The junker has been dealt with, and the database has been acquired and brought to New Berlin by the Gigant.
The mission has started with a wing of 4 primary fleet snubs and the Behemoth "Gigant" moving to Augsburg. The station was locked down, traffic rerouted and area secured. A Bundschuh gunboat has assaulted our forces, but was quickly taken down. A freelancer gunboat that our forces received some hits from has also been taken out quickly after.
Meanwhile, the marines have boarded the station and managed to get to the room where our agent aswell as the junker were having the deal. The junker was arrested, but Bundschuh sympathisants and affiliates opened fire on the forces, and had to defend themselves. The station was flooded with their kind, and the marines found themselves surrounded. However, a quick task force under my lead managed to give them the space they require by using a remaining piece of ammunition to blow the rear walls of the room they have barricaded themselves in. We then managed to proceed further to the docking bays, where emergency lockdown doors unsuspectedly closed themselves. The united resistance army was present there too, with whom we have tried to negotiate with and delay the whole issue.
Our exceptional soldiers managed to cut a hole into the emergency door, with the soldiers providing firecover for the team. Mission comission gave us the order that if the junker only hinders our advances, he is disposable. Next, we have arrived in the large docking bays at the front of the station, where the last major fight was focused on. We have lost plenty of men, and they have lost plenty men too. Due to some very fortunate circumstances, we managed to repel their forces and applied enough pressure on them. The device was secured after minutes of continuing fighting and eventually, we could depart.
The lifes of the three dozen soldiers that fell will be honoured. We could not retrieve every corpse yet, and the cleanup is done by other agents when the Bundschuh presence lessens.
Junker stations increasingly become bothersome in terms of unlawful activity. We should increase our controls and sanction the junkers if we find their stations to be a staging point for their attacks.
Overall, the mission has been a success though. The device will be brought to Schatten next weekend so it can be dealt with accordingly.
Hochachtungsvoll, Kapitän Michael Schmidt
