Guten tag officers,
As per request of Admiral Mechthild von Herzsprung, the KKS-Raeren has been relocated to defend and patrol the Hudson system.
While patrolling the tradelanes between the Hamburg Jumpgate and the Manitoba station, we spotted an Unioner Gunboat with callsign "Leipzig".
We managed to get a scan on him. Turned out this ship held 2 Civilans and 3 Liberty Navy Pilots prisoner!
Once the Leipzig spotted me, He gave multiple threats to attack me if I didn't leave the system. Of course I reminded him that he was in a system with territories belonging to Rheinland and Liberty. He threatened me again after. My first priority was me trying to convince him to save the prisoners. Unfortunately this felt on deaf ears. He charged me not shortly after. Manitoba station couldn't spare any fighters, but it's station turrets did their best to provide covering fire.
Unfortunately the Unioner managed to disable my ship after a heavy fought battle. But not before I did some significant damage to him myself. Manitoba station's covering fire forced the Unioner ship to fall back and prevented him from tractoring my pod. After I got tractored into their Manitoba station, I requested a search party to find these prisoners.
