===Subject: Liberty Navy Incursion, LNS Incident===
-Message Follows-
Greetings once again one and all, this is Feldwebel Duncan Werden, back from the land of the (Supposed) dead. For the past few months I have been detained as a prisoner of the Hessians, and kept for interrogation and negotiation purposes, I'm unsure why I was freed, but here I am.
Yesterday, after requisitioning my equipment and finalizing my paperwork, there was an incursion made by the Liberty Navy into Hamburg, where they were met by a sizable force of our own Rheinland military, as well as a Hessian that offered his assistance, but we had no need of it, as well as a reporter, who may be able to shed more light on this, under a call-sign beginning with GardenPath|. Oberfeldwebel Tanja took charge, directing the defense of Hamburg from a safe distance and ensuring we stayed to our combat tactics. After taking some major shield damage multiple times from massed Liberty Navy fire, I was directed by Of. Tanja to engage full-on defensive maneuvres, for whatever reason, the LN piloten did not realize I was dodging, and they were wholly engrossed in attempting to take me down, whilst our piloten fired on their tails. After the destruction of one of their ships, the Liberty Navy attempted to gain reinforcements, but Of. Tanja intercepted the newcomer and summarily dealt with him. Eventually, only Hale and Gold-17 were left of the initial Liberty Navy force, and after a long exchange of fire, both Gold-17 and Hale retreated. This was a great victory for Rheinland, with no losses to our own piloten, and major damage done to the Liberty Navy, maybe they'll think twice before attempting to invade again. Unfortunately, my gun-cam was destroyed by a glancing hull shot, so I'm composing the following list from memory, so if there are any unlisted, please let me know.
Today however, there was a rather odd incident in Hamburg. As I left Planet Hamburg, I spotted a LNS vessel, the LNS "Wrath of Liberty," some 12-13K outside of Hamburg orbit. When I found it, I saw it was a Libertonian Assault Carrier, with wings ready to be deployed. As I hailed it, the Captain of the vessel, Frau Malone was her stated name, mentioned something about a Rheinland Battleship invading Texas. Whilst I pondered the situation, (I did not think a lone Wraith could take on such a vessel), a Battleship did indeed appear, the RNC Munster, which offered to engage the Libertonian vessel. However, I did not think the risk to civilian life would be acceptable if we could somehow avoid engagement right on a major trade lane, so I told the carrier to return to Liberty space, or indeed be engaged. After some confusion, the Libertonian vessel agreed to leave under escort, and I, along with some other Rheinlanders, from DHC and the RFP, escorted it to the Bering jump-gate and watched as it jumped out of system. No lives were lost.
