Guten tag, high command,
this is Gefreiter Guntram Koehler reporting. Today I have 3 major events notable for mentioning:
The first one was the 2 Red Hessian ships reserve pilot Timo Karlheinz and I met in Frankfurt system while patroling. They were both in the RHA. The first one was Hans Silber and he was piloting a Hessian bomber. The other one was Sam Daniels, piloting a Hessian Very Heavy Fighter. Both of the pilots were found at the lane from the New Berlin Gate to planet Heidelberg. After a short talk they engaged us. Both of them were eliminated.
After some time in a patrol in New Berlin system I encountered two hostile Sabres at the lane from Bonn Station to Stuttgart gate. They were trying to pirate a transport that tried to make a run for it when he saw us. The pirate tried to take him out so my wingmen, reserve pilots Albrecht von Schmitz and Peter Whittmann, and I engaged them so the transport could escape. The transport made his way to the next lane ring and docked with it leaving us in combat with the two Sabres. Soon after a mercenary decided to show up and assist the pirates. We then switched targets and went guns blazing on him crippling him enough to make him flee away. Soon after the pirates gave up aswell and dived into the Ruhrfield. There were no casualties in the fight.
Third and most notable even was the raid in Texas that was lead by Vizeadmiral Voelkel himself. At first everything went normal - we gathered in Hamburg system and when we had enough Wraith VHFs we entered Bering system and then Texas system. We flew over the normal plane to avoid any contact and took a position on one of the lanes between the gate to New York and planet Hudson. There we catched our first target a bomber pilot with the name Zack Archer. He was quickly neutralized by frauline Schneider and I. After few minutes a few pilots from the Liberty Security Forces arrived at our position. They were backed up by Mandalorian Mercenaries. Soon after we recieved order from the Vizeadmiral to engage the targets. New hostiles came soon after and we got ourselves outnumbered as usual. In the whole fight I managed to take down 2 more targets - the LSF director Copperfield and a Navy officer in a Havoc bomber. Sadly our side suffered quite the losses since not only they outnumbered us, they also had the gold squadron with them. We took a lot of casualties. In the middle of the fight I managed to beam frauline Schneider's pod, after her Wraith got blown up by a mine. Soon after the Vizeadmiral was forced to call a retreat and we started pulling out of the fight. Sadly every second navy vessle in the system was on his back and as hard as he tried, he couldn't shake them off and got destroyed. I wasn't able to retrieve his pod and I'm not sure if herr Gunter Weissman had the luck to do it, but we both managed to disengage and get back to Hamburg in one piece.
