Comrades!
I am pleased to report four successful raids on the exploitative, rapacious, and hideously greedy Alliance capitalist trading vessels in the Stuttgart system. Each time Tigris entered Stuttgart at approximately 1900 ship time (to catch the Rhinelanders whilst they were busy eating their wurst). Interdicted lane and inflicted damages and seized prizes as described in action log. No damage was sustained. All vessel escape pods were captured. Innocent workers were provided with ship's soup before transport via Hessians to neutral Zoners bases. No major resistance was given from the Imperial Navy. Lt Cdr Bilibin suggested a more daring strike, given the somnolence of the authorities; we proceeded parallel to the trade lane and exited jump over Planet Stuttgart. We lit the Stuttgart skies with explosions as we interdicted several large train convoys. A marvellous sight! In their lackadaisically mindless confusion some even flew directly into the planet. However, the engineering crew aboard were displeased to note that the sustained fire from orbital defences had overwhelmed ship shielding. Some hull damage was sustained before withdrawal. One casualty: Main Battery Gunnery Officer Frankenstein H. H. Jeltz sustained a broken toe. It was replaced. Booty transferred to Tangier for appropriation as the economic bureau directs. We hope next time the Rhineland forces will mobilise and provide something for the crew to chew on (after all, the soup is very watery). End transmission!
