Guten Abend Kommandant,
This is my first patrol report and wish to file it accurately and hastily.
I started my patrol from the Battleship Strausberg heading to the Hamburg system. I was alone at the time and everything seemed quite. As I was heading through the trade lane towards the Hamburg Jump gate it was disrupted by a Corsair bomber titled Nikus. I informed the nearest RM member of the situation but he was engaged and could not assist at the time. At this moment an Independent Rheinland Gunboat also appeared by the name of EDISON_TRENT. I ordered the Corsair to leave Rheinland space immediately, he engaged his cruise engine and began to head to New Berlin. The gunboat and myself gave chase for about 5k until Nikus turned around and started heading back to the trade lane. I wasn't going to let the pirate destroy another trader so I armed my weapons and began firing. I destroyed the bomber with minimal effort.
When I finished with the pirate I loaded up all the evidence I could gather and returned to the Strausberg.
I returned to my patrol, went into Hamburg, finished one round around Hamburg and headed to New Berlin. Afterward I did a patrol to Dresden. It was calm, I only met one IMG trader carrying goods from Tau 23.
That is all for now, I hope to report again soon.
