Guten Tag, Das ist Gefreiter Carl von Manstein of the 88th Rheinwehr Brigade,


In this message I am informing you about the NR-95, NR-97, NR-98 patrols. The unsignificant parts have been greatly reduced.

--- NR-95 ---

I was in a typical patrol in the Stuttgart System when I received a transmission from a SEK Offizer asking me to assist him in a report he had from Omega-7 System. I responded in the call and I met him near Freiburg. From there we together headed to Omega-7. In the the trade lane to Freistadt we found 1 Red Hessian Odin and 1 Red Hessian Cruiser. I asked from the SEK Offizer to lead the operazion und he asked me to attack the Odin, while he was busy with the cruiser.

In the fight with the Odin, I heavily damaged his ship, so it cruised and retreated. Too bad that I wasn't equipped with Cruise Disruptors. So afterwards I changed my target und engaged the cruiser. Luckily a Rheinland Military Cruiser named "Omsk" arrived in the scene, so it was a matter of minutes before the destruction of the hostile cruiser. Here are two photos that my guncam took.

The destruction


Afterwards, I returned back to Stuttgart und nothing significant took place.

A Kusarian transport sent us a message about a Red Hessian Gunboat with a name Karl.Roth around Planet Stuttgart. I answered to the call and so did several other comrades. I was leading the operazion before Vizeadmiral Putzkammer arrived in Stuttgart System, so I asked the Fliegers to patrol the lanes and find the gunboat. Some minutes later I found the gunboat near Baden Baden und I asked everyone to come nearby. Soon, der Vizeadmiral came and took control of the operazion. The gunboat didn't stop so ve chased him to Omega-11. The nearby Red Giant damaged our hull but we were ordered to hunt him down. Some minutes later, the gunboat jumped to an unknown system und Vizeadmiral ordered us to follow.

This system had a dense asteroid und mining field and in the middle, there was an unknown planet. Flieger Michael von Reims told us that this was a Neutron Star. Nevertheless we didn't stop chasing the gunboat und we successfully started attacking it. The gunboat continued it's retreat und after several minutes it jumped to another unknown system. Vizeadmiral ordered us again to continue the persuit und in this system the gunboat stayed for several minutes and fought.

This system had also a dense asteroid and mining field, but in the middle there wasn't any sun, there was just a vacuum; with many corsair and hessian wrecks. Here's a photo of the second unknown system.




In the battle, we continued having the upper hand, so the gunboat had to break up from the battle und head back the system it came from. There we continued inflicting on it heavy damage so it retreated towards the Neutron Star. Apparently, after we left the asteroid field, the radiation levels reached immense levels und not even our nanobots were enough to limit the damage. Unfortunately, the gunboat was equipped with strong armor plates, so the radiation damage it sustained was much less than ours. Our glorious Vizeadmiral ordered us to remain und fight. Even though we still had the upper hand, we vere now lacking a precious element; the time. As long as the gunboat resisted, ve vere using huge amounts of nanobots to make some small repairs in our hull. So the Vizeadmiral ordered us to retreat und we searched the system for quite some time before we find a jump hole. Here's a photo before our retreat. The Neutron Star is in the left.




Some minutes later, we found a jump hole und luckily it was the correct one und it led us back to Omega-11. I reported back to Battleship Strausberg und I was flying a second-rate ship for several days before my Wraith was finally repaired. Finally, we also had some medical tests to check if the radiation penetrated the ship hull und reached our bodies. Fortunately, we didn't get huge amounts of radiation, so a small therapy was more than enough.

I was tasked to execute a short patrol in New Berlin und Stuttgart. After I checked New Berlin, I jumped to Stuttgart und there I found 3 transports taking the lane to the planet. I followed them. In the middle of the route, one trade lane was offline, so I had the luxury of time to ask them to stop and identify themselves. After a cruise disruptor, they stopped und they told me they were working for the IMG. Moreover, they were all using "UMWS" in front of their call-signs und that leads me to think that they were some short of a group or a small company.

They also said they were hauling Military Vehiles und they were heading to Leeds und I verified that after a scan analysis on their cargo pods. Surprisingly they weren't aware of the shipping regulations of this accomodity, so I had to inform them. Fortunately, they complied und I proposed them to contact some Kusari Naval dealers who were willing to buy these vehicles, since there is a high demand there too. Moments later, they changed their route und headed back to New Berlin, probably because they already found a dealer. Here is a photo of the 3 transports.




The rest of the patrol was quiet. Das ist all for now. Für Rheinland, für Kanzler !
