Subject: Agreements with Rheinland; Action in Leeds

I was called to help repress a pirate incursion in Omega-3 on yesterday's evening, while a Bowex-IMG convoy was passing through the system. The size of the pirate fleet was astounding, as I heard that the IMG bombers had disabled two Murmillos before I arrived with the Thunderer. The remaining pirate ships were destroyed or repulsed without known losses.
I was back to the system when the convoy reached safety, as I had heard that there were Rheinland capital ships amassing around the Omega-7 Jump Gate. After passing by two silent fighters, one of their primary fleet, by Aland, I encountered a Bismarck and a few more fighters by the jump gate. Their Major suddenly ordered the Bismarck, R.N.C. Utgard, to fire upon my ship. I was confused, but always prepared. I felt pity for all the good men running the Utgard, knowing that they would all go down with their ship for nothing, but fortunately the Major was merely not in his best mental shape and their Vice Admiral, Mister Putzkammer, cancelled the order and duly apologized in the Major's name. He even invited me for dinner in orbit of planet Stuttgart, which I gladly accepted. Their apple strudels tasted good and I managed to trick them that I had no tea on board. Fortune smiled upon me once more, as the Vice Admiral offered me that the Rheinland Military also takes part in the Omega-3 safety agreement. I wanted Rheinland included, but I did not want to ask them for it, as that might make us look insufficiently strong to defend our own system from pirates.
A small Order ship appeared in the distance, but soon disappeared from my ship's scanners. The Vice Admiral and his light escort went to check it out, but it seemed that they reached an agreement, as the Military pilots returned and then escorted us back to Omega-3. I thanked them for their hospitality and went straight to Leeds.
There we faced a fleet of one Valor, the R.N.S. Pontoise, and a few fighters and bombers. The Thunderer prevailed over the Pontoise in a knightly clash. We lost two fighters and the 343rd another two, but our forces were still superior since the fall of their battleship, so we besieged the Oubli for a while. As the Gauls were unable to regain superiority and we were running low on tea, we went back to New London.

Recordings:

1) R.N.C. Utgard in Omega-3
2) Major Harkonnen ordering the Utgard to attack us
3) R.N.S. Pontoise in flames
4) R.N.S. Oubli under siege

Admiral George R. Hall
