COMMAND LOG - BDM|RNC-WALKURE - Kapitän Leopold Katz:

8270730

Our first mission is now concluded. It took a little under a week to jump to just within the Heliosphere of Stuttgart, and the same back. The drives appear to have worked well for the most part, and I hope that they will see good, reliable use as part of our operations in the future. We did suffer one casualty - one of our technicians neglected to use his harness for the deceleration and bowshock as we breached the heliosphere out of Thuringia. He was treated for a concussion and spent the week to Stuttgart in quiet shame - but was among the first to secure himself for the bowshock of our entry into Stuttgart. I suppose he will never make the same mistake again.

Our operations in Stuttgart were rather uneventful - we delivered our payload of a BDM UKORPS detachment to Stuttgart proper, some supplies to the Karlsruhe in neighboring Cologne, and jumped back with a damaged interceptor wing from Karlsruhe. It seems more loyalists are scattered in pockets throughout Rheinland, resisting the illegitimate Imperial regime through guerilla warfare. Several of the pilots we took in for circulation back to Weimar were members of the Bundeschuh - serving as advisors on the unconventional warfare strategies for our holdout operations. I was shocked to hear that one of them served on the Alsace, a Bundie cruiser that I had encountered as an enemy several years ago during my tenure as XO of the RNC Brandenburg. Wars make for strange bedfellows.

I have also received a three month old letter from my mother that my brother and my father on Stuttgart were arrested for participating in protests against the Imperial coup. Against my better judgement, I wrote a letter of my own in reply to let her know that I am safe, and will do all I can to find and save them if I can. I hope that will not be an empty promise.

In the mean time, our next deployment is to Frankfurt in order to establish a secure corridor from our holdout in Thuringia to our forces in Munich. I hear Frankfurt is the most intense front of fighting as of now - so it will be very likely we will encounter direct combat during our operations. The Walkure is assigned to support the Director's flagship RNC-Brynhildr under UKORPS Taskforce "Steuerberater" to alleviate the front lines.
