Guten Abend kommandants,
Hauptgefreiter Erwin Helge reporting in after todays patrols.

System name: Stuttgart
Patrol length 4 minutes 53 seconds
Trade lanes used: All
Pirate Activity: Minimal

Comments:
I took off from Ulm Border station, and proceeded to do an entire lap around the trade lanes of Stuttgart. I encountered nothing but normal traffic, not so much as a trade lane disruption. The patrol went smooth, and I finished in record time.

System Name: Omega 7
Patrol Length: 45 minutes
Trade Lanes Used: All
Mining Fields Inspected: All
Pirate Activity: Minimal
Enemies engaged: Yes

Comments:
Once I completed my patrol of Stuttgart I decided to move into Omega 7. I entered, and all was calm. I flew through each trade lane once, then began a search of the mineral fields. I encountered a group of Kruger miners and their transport ship. While interviewing them, and the transport, I got a strange reading on my monitors. One I have yet to see, a ship tagged as SCRA. The traders noticed it too, and became slightly confused. The mystery ship slipped away as fast as it appeared. I knew this could be trouble, after I begged my pardons to the miners I charged my cruise and began another sweep of the area. It didn't take long to locate the thing again. It was a ship, with glowing red eyes, a demon would be the best and only way I could describe it. It was armed and armored with some very advanced technology. Boasting a powerful 14k base hall, and enough weapons to devastate a small moon, I knew I would be in for a fight.
The SCRA opened comms as followed:

Once it was clear he would not back down, I had no choice but to defeat him. I gave a prayer to the Gottkanzler for his blessing in this fight, and that my aim would be true. While my Wraith clearly had a better turn radius, that SCRA ship put out a devastating amount of fire, and my weapons had little effect on it's hall once it's shields went down. It was a game of nickel and dimes, and in the end the Gottkanlzer proved stronger. After nearly 30 minutes of combat, with the enemy low on bots and bats he abandoned his mission and left the system, while insulting me.

Recommendations for future encounters:
I would warn pilots that out turning this monster is the only way to beat it, any direct frontal assault will result in your ship being turned to scrap. Bring a pilot equipped with a MiniRazer, as it's power will aid you greatly.

Once the threat was removed from the system I returned to New Berlin to dock and repair my damages.

Hg.Helge out.
