Patrol report #17 25.11.817 A.S. Leutnant Wolfgang Haynsworth.
Patrol began at 12:47PM New Berlin standard time. I lifted off from New Berlin and completed launching procedures at 12:58PM.
I then continued to Check the immediate area around New Berlin out to 25Km, No contacts were detected. Afterwards I ventured out to the Frankfurt jumpgate via the Planet New Berlin to Frankfurt Jumpgate tradelane. I checked the surrounding area out to 25Km, a lone trader was detected coming through the jumpgate, the trader was scanned and cleared.
I proceeded back to New Berlin and continued through to take that New Berlin to Brandenburg tradelane. Roughly 3/4 of the way into the tradelane a disruption occured and I was forced out of the lane. Several rookie Corsair ships then demanded I drop my cargo. I engaged and destroyed all hostile ships, my ship sustained light damage to the port side wing. I then Proceeded the rest of the way to Brandenburg.
Once I got there I made contact with a scout for a Daumann Convoy, I greeted him, he greeted me and then the rest of his convoy arrived via the Brandenburg to Bonn station Tradelane. I offered them my assistance should they need it. I then continued to Bonn station, I detected no major contacts.
After that I checked the Stuttgart jumpgate area, out to 25km. No major contacts. I headed back to Bonn station. From there I proceeded to Dortmund station, where I made contact with a tradeship. I scanned and cleared the ship.
I then proceeded to Braunshweig, I checked around all installations out to 25km No major contacts. I left the system and continued down to the Hamburg jumpgate. I again checked out to 25km and found no major contacts.
I then proceeded to return to the New Berlin Hangars. I got my Wraith repaired by Hangar Personnel on my return. Thr round that had hit me had luckily only hit the outer edge of my prot wing, causing minimal damage.
End of report.

Patrol report #18 26.11.817 A.S. Leutnant Wolfgang Haynsworth.
I began my patrol at 5:04Pm New Berlin standard time, There were a few delays in launching due to a Snubnose which had rolled off its cradle while it was having engine repairs, right into the middle of the launch tunnel. (Lazy mechanics, this is why we have a repair facility seperate from the launch tube.) There was a sizable gouge left in the launch tube decking from the torpedo tube of the Snubnose. Its a good thing the mechanics removed the torpedos from the Snubnose atleast. I would probably not be sitting here writing this report if there had been a pair of Supernovas onboard that Bomber.
By the time I had lifted off it was 5:32Pm. Once in space I commenced my regular patrol of New Berlin. I proceeded from Planet New Berlin to Brandenburg border station via Tradelane. There were no significant contacts made. I made a quick check of the surrounding area out to 25Km and then proceeded to the Stuttgart Jumpgate.
Once I arrived at the Stuttgart jumpgate, I checked the area out to 25Km and found no significant contacts. I did however notice the jumpgate was leaking a clear blue gas, just as I was about to get on the radio to the Jumpgate Maintanence Personel I saw a repair vessel settle next to the plume of escaping gas. it was an old vessel, one of the oldest I've seen still in active service. It began to seal the breach as I turned around and headed toward the Tradelane back to Brandenburg. Upon arrival at brandenburg I immediatly headed towars Bonn station via the Tradelane.
Once I was within local range of Bonn Station, I was greeted by the Battleship Strausberg. I replied with a standard "Greetings Miene Herr" and quickly continued my patrol. I did not want to get into a conversation with the CO of the Strausberg again, Last time that happened I was holding my comlink open for a full two hours. I checked local space out to 25Km and found no significant contacts. Just as I was about to head out to my next stop, I was contacted by a member of the Consortium. He request a meeting with me ASAP. We Organised a meeting in High orbit above the planet Heidleberg, Frankfurt. I made the trip in roughly 6 minutes.
Upon Arival I greeted the stranger, who explained to me that I've probably heard a couple of things about them and tht they are probably not true. He then began to talk to me about th possibility of a Non-Aggresion pact with the Rheinland Military, and also about possible supply of material for thier cause. I told him that I cannot make that decision, and that I would arrange a proper meeting with the RMHC if he required one. He agreed to attend a meeting with the RMHC. We then proceeded to say our goodbye to each other and depart the system.
I headed straight back to New Berlin, to personally deliver the news and questions I had just recieved to the RMHC. After arriving at Planet New Berlin I was quickly pushed through landing checks and immediatly landed my Wraith on the Erfurt Military base tarmac. I then proceeded directly to RMHC HQ to deliver the information and questions relating to my meeting with the Consortium requests.

Patrol report #19 27.11.817 A.S. Leutnant Wolfgang Haynsworth.
This is a rather large report.
Patrol Began at 9:29PM New Berlin Standard time. Launch procedrues were completed in a matter of minutes, and I was breaching the atmoshere at 9:32PM. I immediatley proceeded to commence my usual patrol route.
I headed towards Brandenburg Border Station, all the while keeping my eyes on the Trade lane rings, there had been reports of many pirates around Trade lane rings earlier in the day. Once I arrived at Brandenburg I proceeded with my usual inspection 25km in all directions out from the station. finding no significant targets I headed down towards the Stuttgart Jumpgate.
As soon as I was within local radio range of the Stuttgart jumpgate I had 3 distress calls come in from various traders around the Jumpgate. A flight of Unioners was harrasing all traffic in the area, and a Small train ship was in danger of loosing main cabin pressure. I began to make my way towards the damaged Train. Once within range I targeted the nearest Unioner and opened up with all I had. Several rounds hit the rear portion of the light fighter, and a couple of rounds must have hit the cockpit, the ship suddenly lost control and exploded. I continued to battle the Unioners, one by one taking them down. After awhile the Unioners saw how inferiour thier ships and equipment were, and began charging thier cruise engines, I maneged to Cruise Disrupt a Unioner, and quickly dispatch him. the others unfortunatly got away. I returned to the damaged train and checked it out, it seemed ok, although I did not manage to hail it. I guess its comm systems were damaged or destroyed.
I then recieved word that Herr Drum had just completed launch procedure. I hailed him and greeted him, He informed me that we had been ordered to perform a combat recon mission to Texas.
I didn't waste any time in setting my nav-computer on a course to Texas, It had been a very long time sinse I had battled or even seen a foe more skilled then a filthy Corsair. On the way to Texas me and Hauptgefreiter Drum decided to land on Battleship Westfallen and stretch our legs. After a cold drink (Non alcoholic, I was on duty.) We proceeded to the Hudson System
Upon Arrival at the Hudson System we found ourselves in the middle of a large trade convoy, Me and Herr Drum hurridly cruised out of the area before anyone noticed us. We headed towars the Jumphole to Texas. We were ambushed by dirty Xenos twice on the way, filthy rats lost 7 of thier men to us. Once we finally reached the jumphole we paused for a moment to ensure we wern't followed. Finding the area clear we proceeded to jump.
On the other side of the Jumphole we found ourselves under attack by more Xenos, Who were quickly dispatched by Herr Drum and I. I knew there was a Liberty Military satellite in the area somwhere, so I proceeded to snoop around for it. Once we had detected the Satellite, I ordered Herr Drum to attack, He and I both headed towards the Sateillite, Ignoring fire from a couple of Gun Platforms. And quickly disabled the satellite. We then dispatched the two Gun Platforms. We then detected an incoming fighter, at first I mistook the fighter for a Police unit, simply because the unit had 'Law" in his name. He quickly corrected me, he was a Liberty Navy Operative. Herr Drum Suggeusted we take the enemy prisoner, and we both set to work trying to coax him into surrenduring. After a few minutes of disagreements he said "I pick fighting you". I then allowed guns free to Herr Drum, and we both opened fire on the target. He was a very twisty-turny kind of pilot, he was evading our fire well, although he didn't score any effective hits on either Herr Drum or me.
After a few minutes of dog fighting, Herr Drum informed me he had detected two enemy Capital ships inbound at speed. I Sighed and told Herr Drum to break off. Seeing as we had no Bomber support we retreated back into a nearby debrie field about 10km. We then recieved an offer from a group of Mercenaries. They asked if we would like to pay them ten million credits in exchange for the destruction of these two Liberty Capital ships. We agreed to the deal, and headed out to try and find the Ships. One of them had reportedly made off to a nearby planet. The other (A Liberty Assualt Cruiser) Was reportedly running to the Minnesota Jumphole. Herr Drum had already begun Cruising with the Mercenaries try to locate the LNS vessel. He reached the Jumphole first and wasted no time in jumping through. He then contacted me and said there was trouble on the other side of the Jumphole, I pushed my throttles to the maximum and made it to the jumphole i a couple of minutes. I then proceeded to jump as soon as I was in the gravitational field of the Jumphole.
Once through the Jumphole I found nothing wrong, Herr Drum and the Mercenaries were in the system, as well as 3 other ships. I then heard one of the unidentified ships ask us to pay them a fee to let us do our buisness. Already tired of paying fees I ordered the mercenaries and Herr Drum to open fire. After a few minutes of intense dog fighting one of the merceneries screamed and exploded. Another Mercenary went down about a minute later. Then, out of the blue my whole thrust system powered down, for no reason at all, I was stranded with only vectoring thrusters. I managed to hold out for a while, Dodging missiles and shrapnel. But then I noticed somthing out the corner of my eye a large flash, then alll of a sudden my ship lost cockpit pressure, and began to spin out of control. several alarms had activated and I was going to eject.
I pulled the ejection lever and was whisked out of the ship. Luckily my pod had managed to sustain pressure, I Set the guidance system on a course to Braunshweig, and then layed back. Suddenly a voice came through my commlink, and I recieved word that Herr Drum had also been shot down, luckily he too had managed to eject.
After 17 hours I was back in the Braunsweig System. I docked with the Battleship Mosele, and obtained a new Wraith Fighter. I filled out an incident report, and then took a room on the Battleship. I then began writing this report. I intend to go to sleep once I have sent this file to RMHC.

That was the end of the recording. We had received it at roughly 8:24AM New Berlin standard time. The signal came from a recon vessel that was cruising on the outer edges of Liberty, somewhere near Texas. I decided to head out and investigate. Nothing official, just to see if I could find more information about the vessel.
I headed towards the Texas system. I planned to use jumpholes to jump into the Texas system, then snoop around for maybe a few minutes and then return to New Berlin. I proceeded towards the target jumphole, passing through a few other systems on the way. I stopped on Battleship Westfallen for a drink at my favourite bar. Strictly non-alcoholic while I was on duty, I bought myself a Mezzo Mix cola. I drank the cold beverage, thanked the Bartender and left.
I then proceeded directly to the Texas jumphole. Once I had arrived at the jumphole I checked the Gravitational and electrical levels. Everything seemed stable so I jumped. Once in Texas I disabled all incoming and outgoing radio and communication signals for my ship, I did not want any attention. I proceeded to snoop around the asteroid field, finding nothing. But then outside the field I detected a large magnetic contact. I scanned it and it was confirmed as the recon vessel that had gone down several hours earlier. I attempted to retrieve data files, but no files were present. That was strange.. Seeing as I had found what I was looking for I proceeded to head back to New Berlin.
I informed the RMHC about the vessel in detail, and then headed back to my wraith. After several weeks of use it needed some TLC. I proceeded to wash and scrub the exterior of my vessel. Scrubbing every inch of the armour. I then turned to the cockpit, using a fine comb and cleaning in between all the buttons and interfaces. When I was done I was almost worried that my ship was so shiny it would give my position away at a glance! I returned to my quarters and had a shower.

Patrol report #21 1.12.817 A.S. Leutnant Wolfgang Haynsworth.
Today is a sad day for me mein Comraden. The station my younger brother was working on was attacked earlier today by the LWB, The hull was breached in several locations, and eventually the entire station lost internal pressure. Everyone that was onboard Kienzgruper Station have been confirmed dead. The LWB made off only with a few hundred units of food rations. An entire station of people including my own brother for food! The LWB have always been an enemy of the Great Rheinland Empire, but they are now a personal enemy of mine too. I shall not rest until every single LWB pilot, engineer, Kaptain, officer, operative, agent- until every single one is dead.
After all that has happened, I am still a Rheinland Military Flag Officer, and I will not let this get in the way of my Duties.
I began a routine patrol at roughly 7:45AM New Berlin Standard time. As I lifted off the launch pad, I couldn't help but think about finding a patrol of LWB. I imagined my guns blazing, Riddling a LWB ship full of holes, His pilot forced out of his cockpit and into the hostile environment of space.
I was in New Berlin orbit at roughly 7:49AM. I then proceeded on a routine patrol of New Berlin. From Planet New Berlin, to Brandenburg Border station. Then on to Bonn Station. There I found a trader, whom I scanned and passed with no problems. I then continued on to Dortmund Station.
There a Red Hessian wing was causing havoc with the local station. Without any hesitation I engaged the Hessians. The first two ships didn't even notice me on their tail. They both went down at roughly 8:09 and 8:11AM respectivley. The last ship took a little while to coax into a suitable firing position. But he went down none the less at 8:22AM. I logged the encounter and continued back to planet New Berlin to recieve repairs for a faulty Countermeasure Dropper.
Once I was in the Repair bay on New Berlin, I was told the Repairs could take a day or so, due to a series of faults in the wiring of the CM Device. So I headed back to my quarters to begin writing my report for the days incidents.

Patrol report #22 3.12.817 A.S. Leutnant Wolfgang Haynsworth.
Patrol started at 8:03AM New Berlin standard time. I climbed into the sockpit of my Wraith Heavy fighter, initiated launch procedures, and throttled my thrust up to 100%. I was out of New Berlin atmosphere at 8:09AM. I proceeded on my regular patrol path. Heading to Brandenburg station.
Once I arrived at Brandenburg, I searched the area out to 25KM, Scanners showed no significant contacts. I checked one last time and then proceeded to the Stuttgart jumpgate via tradelane. I scanned local space around the Stuttgart jumpgate out to 25KM, again no significant targets were detected. I proceeded back to Brandenburg Border station and then through to Bonn Station. Once at Bonn station I sighted a trade vessel about to head into a tradelane, I scanned the vessel and found it only to be transporting some uncut diamonds. I then proceeded to check the surrounding area out to 25KM and found nothing. I then proceeded to Dortmund Station.
Upon arrival at Dortmund Station I sighted the trade vessel I had scanned a few minutes prior. I scanned him again to make sure he had not aqquired anything illegal. Scans passed. I then checked the local space out to 25KM. Nothing. I continued to the Hamburg Jumpgate.
The Hamburg Jumpgate was much the same as the rest of the patrol. clear and boring. I headed back to Dortmund Station, and then on through back to Planet New Berlin for some supplies.
I began landing procedures, throttled back to 50% throttle and landed on Planet New Berlin.
