I commanded the KKS-Raeren while escorting 2 prisoner transports from Alster Shipyard to Mecklenburg Prison. Someone tipped off our enemy, the Unioners as they awaited us at the jumpgate to New Berlin. We managed to hold the tradelanes closed and keep the Unioners busy while our transports got through safely. This however came at a cost. We disabled 1 of their bombers, but also 3 of our fighters got disabled during the fight. Only when the Donau Cruiser KKS-Mainz flew in the Unioners decided to retreat. The mission was successful, but some of the fighters will need repairing after this encounter. Below is the conversation log from the battle.
