RE: Omega/Rheinland report
Well. It certainly was an interesting day in the Omega systems. After filling an independant trader with Beryllium ore from Cambridge on request we headed to Omega 7 to see if there were additional takers. The system was quiet, apart from a group of Kruger mining ships in the northern fields. They did not respond to hails, but were otherwise nonagressive. We found a site in the cobalt field and harvested a full load.
Upon return however to Freistadt, sensors picked up a skirmish. Two WRF fighters engaging a group of Vagrant Raiders ships. What started as a skirmish grew quickly into quite a battle, as in the end we counted 6 VR ships, 3 WRF and 2 RHA. But what was even more remarkable... The RHA vessels worked in tandem with the WRF to drive the VR back. I am not sure what the reasoning behind this alliance was, but... it's certainly noteworthy. Sensor data recorded on our mining vessel is available by request... it's not much though, due to dense nebula obscuring most of it.
We resumed our course after the skirmish ended, only briefly returning to Freistadt to check for damage, but the fight never really came near the station itself.
We headed for Ingolstadt to sell our ore load. In close proximity of the base we came upon an Atlas class transport broadcasting a junker ID. I was not aware permission was granted for them to handle these transports... perhaps they recovered a derelict and restored it. But considering Junker reputation, I imagine it is unwise to let them fly our vessels unless we are absolutely certain they are not to be used for illegitimate purposes. Relevant details attached.
