DELIVERING MESSAGE...


Guten Tag,

since starting my work as a police officer three weeks ago, this is my first official report to the Bundespolizei.
Starting from Planet Hamburg, my first actions were supervising traffic into and out of Rheinland. One trader with a lightly damaged transport from Bering had a Unioner weapon in his cargo hold. The pilot obeyed my orders, so I could confiscate the illegal weapons.
Later on, I started patrol to New Berlin. A pirate with a Kusari explorer vessel, named Water_Boy, was terrorizing our main system.
I accompanied the military officers Sarah Willows and Sven Rainer, as they were already hunting him. With the help of a member of the bounty hunter's guild we were able to pin him down some miles away from Planet New Berlin, where he finally got destroyed by us. Unfortunately, the pictures of my guncam were lost due to combat damage.
With this threat disabled I let my Phantom be repaired at planet New Berlin. Just right after launching into space I received a message from a Kruger vessel, that an Interspace Commerce vessel named Valen_Misagi was hauling copper ore from Omega-7 through Rheinland and most obviously into Liberty.
Intercepting this vessel near planet Hamburg, the captain of the IC ship admitted that he wanted to transport the ore to Texas system.
Evidence 01
Evidence 02

At first I ordered him to change course, as I did not remembered the shipping restriction for IC. He complied to this at first and changed course to New Berlin again.
I was informed about my mistake by the captain of the Kruger vessel so I tracked the IC vessel but it had disppeared. There was a misgiving in my mind, that this Liberty captain would try to break the embargo and reach the liberty border. I looked around in system Hamburg, when I finally tracked the smuggler in the Kielfeld, heading to the Hudson jump gate.
Evidence 03

I informed him about the embargo once again and ordered him to drop his cargo immediatly. He answered, that our laws would be of no interest to them (which I think refers to Interspace Commerce in all). I commanded him once again to obey our laws, when he opened fire. With my phantom I was able to serioulsy damage his ship, but not enough, as he was able to flee to Hudson. The data for this smuggler will be sent to the Rheinland Criminal Data base later on.
During the hunt my Phantom light fighter was seriously damaged, so I flew to Lubeck for repairs and to end my shift.

End of report

Regards,

Thomas Wolthers
