I am pleased, to hereby report of a successful cooperate mining/transport operation of Kruger, DHC and RM forces.
I started patrol duty earlier this evening (2100), When commanding officer Vizeadmiral Habsburg, ordered me to execute guard duty for the Kruger Barge-vessel "Schwermetall".
I proceeded to escort "Schwermetall" through the tradelane system to planet Heidelberg, where we left the tradelane and crossed open space until reaching Hausenfeld minable area.
Two DHC mining vessels (DHC Kaiser 4 and DHC Erzgebirge) were already on site busy with mining aluminum ore. (They were clearly as professional as they were efficient). I orbited the area in a 1500-2500k distance.
I had to engage three smaller pirate vessels, likely snub-fighters, one of which was destroyed the two others managed to retreat (Pursuing was not an option under these mission parameters). No other hostile contacts were monitored in the whole endeavor. A second Kruger Barge "Leichtmetall" then joined the operation as I continued orbiting. When "Schwermetall" reached its maximum capacity, we both headed to Breuninger Depot in the New Berlin system, where I was redirected to continue guard duty for "Leichtmetall". The rest of the operation went as planned with the exception of one recklessly flying Rheinland police officer (Schulze, Klaus) who almost hit the "Leichtmetall" exiting a tradelane. The situation was resolved without further delay and commotion. The officer apologized and no damage was done to "Leichtmetall". From transcripts of inter-operational communication, I can savely conclude, that this joint operation turned out to be a success, both in means of financial earnings, as well as interdisciplinary collaboration.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,
