Guten Tag. Here is today's patrol report:
Proceeded to Hamburg from the Battleship Strausberg. I check all the lanes in the system. I decided to make sure the facilities in Bremen were without threat. I jumped to Bremen. Half way to the Battleship Westphalia I received a scattered distress call from a Gunboat in Stuttgart. He reports he is being attacked by multiple Hessians. I change direction and head for Stuttgart. I see a Federal Police Officer and a fresh recruit from the Military Academy, I ask them to get to Stuttgart as soon as possible. On arriving to Planet Stuttgart there is no sign of the distress beacon anywhere. I got report of the Hessians in the Omega-7 System by the local miners. I charged my engines and headed for the gate. On the other side of the gate was two Hessians in fighters surrounded by a Bounty Hunter a Daumann Escort Fighter and several miners. Soon shots are fired and I engage the Hessians. Soon the Police Officer and recruit come through the Stuttgart Gate and immediately engage the targets. Soon one of the Hessians flee further into the fields. The other Hessian manages to destroy the Officer and a Miner that wandered to close to the fight. Soon enough the recruit managed to destroy the Hessian. We picked up any survivors and headed to Briesen Mining Facility for much needed repairs. We got word on the loyalties of the Hessians. They belonged to the Rot Front.
We finished the patrol path through Omega-7 Up to the gate to Omega-3. Then we turned back to Stuttgart. We flew the patrol paths there and headed back to New Berlin. On the way to Dortmund Station the lane was disrupted by the Hessian known as [RHA]MikeStah. The recruit charged at the Hessian and began to put shot after shot into the Hessian's shield. I ordered the recruit to stop firing. He did. Then a Civilian in a basic fighter came along and began to fire upon the Hessian. At which point the Recruit also once again started firing at the Hessian. I called once again to cease fire. They both did. I ordered the Civilian to leave the area. He did. Then I turn back to the Hessian to see half of his shield gone. The Recruit was firing again. This time both the Hessian and I told him to cease fire. He didn't. The Hessian fired a Supernova that solved that problem. At that point I told the Hessian he needed to leave or he would be killed. He picked the first option and left without a fight.
After that, I headed to Hamburg to finish that patrol and then back to Berlin. Then to Frankfurt and Dresden. Nothing interesting happened there.
This concludes today's patrol.

Well. I'm having the Techs on the Strausberg take a look at my ship. Something about a broken line in some of my weapons.
