Guten tag meine damen und herren,

A few days ago Kruger ships were patrolling Omega-7 trade lanes for any possible threat that might come to Kruger and Rheinland interests. As you might expect we wouldn't be sending this message if nothing happened, but something did happen, something very disturbing.

On the Stuttgart gate - Freistadt Station trade lane a Red Hessian Behemoth was committing acts of piracy against any defenceless transport ships that might pass by.

Same Hessian was in process of pirating one civilian transport when our security ships dropped out of the damaged trade lane. Our security ship engaged the Hessian in order to save the transport but due to the lack of repairs on the civilian transport it was destroyed. We do hope that the crew could escape in time. After said distruction of civilian transport Kruger bomber chaced the Hessian pirate transport down the trade lane in the direction of Freistadt Station.

At this point the Hessian ship was outmatched, the prey was not some random transport but the fully loaded bomber ready for deadly intervention against pirates.

Our ship was continuously exchanging weapons fire with Hessian ship while it was thrusting past the trade lanes. After some time of exchaning fire both Kruger security ship and Hessian pirate reached Freistadt Station. Without any problems Hessian pirate docked on Freistadt in seconds after reaching it. Our security pilot was dazzled at the sight of this pirate casually docking on lawfull station. He stayed in the station's vicinity for a few minutes to reconcile with what just happened when an even stranger thing happend. The Hessian pirate undocked from the same docking point abord the station and after seeing our security ship still being outside went back and docked again on the same docking point. After waiting for some time more nothing happened and our ship returned to its usual patrol duty of Omega-7 and at the end of the shift reported this incident to Kruger reporting channel which immediately reached to us, the directors.

I don't think I need to make a reminder but this kind of Hessian escape to Freistadt happened more times than one could count and the Independent Miners Guild has always claimed that their docking systems were hacked. And as you can see in the evidences attached bellow, that ''hacking'' has happened twice in the span of a few minutes. One would also think that IMG has some archaic systems in use maybe. In any case pirates been using this station as piracy staging point for a long time.

We are out of options concerning what to do in this sort of situations any more. I think that If this sort of thing happens again we will dispatch our bomber squadrons armed with Nova torpedoes to wreck that docking bay with that damn Hessians still inside and see if they will ever again be able to dock there.

I hope it doesn't come to this kind of drastic measures. In any case I am awaiting replies of your respected law enforcer agencies and organisations.
