I am hurt and exhausted, I will have to be brief before returning back to my treatments. My Stuttgart patrol was extremely taxing. First I engaged the pirate frigate HRZ~Syriix and after a long battle, I managed to protect the trade of Omega-7.
I expected a peaceful rest of my patrol, but that was not meant to be. A massive battle has ensued in the Stuttgart system, between Unioners, Coalition, Red Hessians, Freelancers and the Rheinwehr.
There were too many to count. The Unioners have partnered up with the Coalition to attack our lone capital ship, further cementing them as the true villains of Rheinland that have fallen deep and hard. I will have no mercy with any Unioner I encounter from now on, this will not go unpunished. When the dust settled we had to retreat to the protection of our stationary defenses, not before we have taken down multiple hostiles, however. A hessian gunboat, Leipzig, and one Unioner were put down by my hand, our battleship took care of another one of their gunboats.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,
Jonas Wagner
Bootsmann der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
