Upon my Earlier patrol I was lucky to end up working with the Admiral. After inspecting several craft we detected and intercepted a Hessian who seemed to go by the moniker of "Nez", who piloted a Thor Bomber, after attempting to place him under arrest, which he was... stalling... with we were confronted by a Unioner, Dieter Lutz who worked to provoke a confrontation.
Unfortunately the Hessian refused to co-operate and stalled as the Admiral confronted the Unioner provoking an engagment. After refusing to comply with a lawful order I opened fire upon the Hessian, in the ensuing combat both "Nez" and "Dieter Lutz" were destroyed with some damage to my vessel. Regrettably the escape pods weren't found and are presumed recovered by their foul brethren.
After which we engaged in a relatively peaceful patrol, a few Unioners and Hessians were eliminated without warning due to firing upon us.
Later on, after a rest period back on Hamburg I returned and the Admiral assigned me to a patrol group with Hauptgefreiter Bjorn Chezberger and Gefreiter Jens Schmidt. The patrol took us through New Berlin from Hamburg, there is little of note to report before we headed through to Stuttgart, there was a minor encounter with Hessians before we made a run to Dresden through Omega 54, Omega 11 and return. There were some minor Hessian and Unioner encounters that were silenced with minimum difficulty. After which we travelled to the Guard system where I received some flying and combat lessons. I have further to go than I thought!
Unfortunatley due to problems with my flight recorder this report is missing most of the details I would normally include, I have spoke with the technicians and they assure me it won't happen again. Twenty credits says they're full of it.
