Guten Tag,

During my patrol in the Stuttgart system, yesterday, I encountered a Kruger Mineralien Bustard-class civilian carrier. It was on its way from Freistadt to the New Berlin gate. I stopped it for a scan near Planet Stuttgart. As it turned out, it was transporting Red Hessian prisoners. Upon demanding the prisoners, the vessel revealed its permission to carry the criminals to New Berlin.

Thus, I proceeded to escort the vessel to its detination: Planet New Berlin. However, unbeknownst to us, a Red Hessian Hel-class pirate cruiser awaited possible targets behind the New Berlin Gate. The Kruger and Hessian vessel proceeded to engage each other with me attempting to run interference for the Kruger vessel. Unfortunately, due to the limited armament of my fighter, I was unable to cause considerable damage to the Hessian cruiser as it destroyed the Kruger vessel.

After restocking my equipment, I noticed the Hessian vacated the vincinity of the Stuttgart gate in the New Berlin system. It must have been a hit-and-run operation. I managed to recover most of the Kruger crew's escape pods. My vessel remained undamaged during the entire patrol. The location of the Hessian cruiser remains unknown.

Hochachtungsvoll,
