The Varyag was conducting a presence patrol in New Berlin yesterday when we came into contact of a Harvester gunship collecting Hessian pilots. We pushed our ship to intercept and were cut off by a single RFP light fighter. This ship was hardly worth our time so we gave him a couple warning shots and started to move. The lone fighter continued to fire at close range only attempting to strafe in some kind of weak maneuver. In my annoyance I ordered my gun crews to silence the ship which they did in seconds.
Because of the delay I was forced to push our fine ship past spec and we received some minor reactor damage but managed to catch the Harvester vessel just as it entered Sigma 13 with the help of BU Konstantin. We chased the robot across 13 and managed to disrupt and disable the vessel after a short fight. Our brothers and sisters where recovered and brought back to Voghtland along with many other civilians who were still traumatized after what they saw onboard that ship. I hope they will recover. What they witnessed will haunt them and this crew for some time. The Harvesters are truly a menace to our way of life.
Upon our arrival home we fired a single salvo for Udo Koch, Our friend and comrade with be remembered by the bravery of his deeds and our continued resistance.
