Guten tag, officers of the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr.

I was contacted by Oberleutnant Traudel Habermeyer regarding a possible sighting of a Hessian vessel in the Frankfurt system.

The suspicions were true once I got aboard the RNC Wodan and headed to the Frankfurt system. While on my way to Mannheim Station, I encountered a Hessian battlecruiser (Verderber), plus a Corsair (Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]) who immediately left the scene. Preliminary scans of the Hessian battlecruiser showed it had propaganda material on its cargo hold.




Knowing that my gunboat could not take on a vessel this big, I cautiously monitored the battlecruiser from afar. The Hessian tried to convince me using the propaganda, but I ignored it and continued, until backup arrived with two Fliegers, Frieda Volgt and Ignatz Schwann, and a soldat, Sven Schuberger. However, Flieger Volgt had some matters to take care off and departed from the scene, calling instead a Rheinwehr bomber ([RM]Vorschlaghammer-4) to assist us in the battle.

I began to engage the Hessian battlecruiser, which took a long time as it kept firing its guns on us. Slowly but surely, the Hessian battlecruiser was disabled, with my ship taking the last shot. While its words definitely ringed out, its combat prowess was no match to our combined strength, despite the bomber pilot's claim of poor performance during the battle.



I returned to Planet New Berlin with very light scratches on the Wodan's hull, which were easily repaired by maintenance crews.

[28.01.2023 00:09:18] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: These were confiscated from a Corsair smuggler in Bering
[28.01.2023 00:09:34] Verderber: ?: Likely!

[28.01.2023 00:09:50] Verderber: ?: Bah!
[28.01.2023 00:11:57] Verderber: ?: Eh... how soon is your feeble attempt of "disposing" me?
[28.01.2023 00:12:17] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: I like your underestimation. Soon, you shall see the Rheinwehr before you
[28.01.2023 00:12:28] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: That's... ja... you're quite experienced, Herr Schwan. But it seems we have trouble afoot.
[28.01.2023 00:12:33] Verderber: ?: Bah! Two warships and a bomber and we are hardly hurt!

[28.01.2023 00:16:50] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: Then you shall face us. Guns are ready and loaded
[28.01.2023 00:16:57] [RM]Fl-Ignatz.Schwan: Nothing ever goes to plan, revoluntionary.
[28.01.2023 00:17:02] [RM]Fl-Ignatz.Schwan: Now, to put you where to belong... In a cell.
[28.01.2023 00:17:10] Verderber: ?: Fools! all gunners open fire!
[28.01.2023 00:17:21] Sven.Schuberger: Only a dead Hessian is a good Hessian.

[28.01.2023 00:18:55] [RM]Vorschlaghammer-4: Fur Rheinland, gentlemen.
[28.01.2023 00:25:18] Sven.Schuberger: You talked a big game Hessian.
[28.01.2023 00:25:25] Verderber: ?: No honor!
[28.01.2023 00:25:29] Sven.Schuberger: But alas, your words are as good as this wreck.
[28.01.2023 00:25:32] [RM]Fl-Ignatz.Schwan: Nature does not respect honor.
[28.01.2023 00:25:42] [RM]Fl-Ignatz.Schwan: Only the strong survive.
[28.01.2023 00:25:44] Sven.Schuberger: A war vessel being disabled by snubcrafts.
[28.01.2023 00:25:45] Sven.Schuberger: Pathetic.

[28.01.2023 00:28:17] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: Returning to New Berlin for now

[28.01.2023 00:30:09] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: Your concern is understandable. In time you shall hone your skills
