Comrades,
whilst returning to Bremen after a patrol through Rheinland, myself, Commissar-Captain Katz and comrade Luka were assaulted by the RM. After ordering a retreat to Cloppenburg Base, Katz remained to destroy the perusing fighters. RM ships soon bought backup in the form of 2 cruisers and several more fighters, the Social Credit initiated it's self destruct sequence destroying any valuable information, though the escape pods of the Commissar and several of the crew were tractored in by the nearby cruiser.
I quickly assumed command of the International once Rheinland forces departed, collected the remaining crew and what was left of the Social Credit.
confirmed captured are:
Katz, Alvin - Commissar-Captain
Byk, Pavel - Master-Chief Petty Officer
Ivanov, Ivan - Engineering Specialist 3rd class
