Well, I was scraping the last of the bumper stickers from my Wrath (Rheinland Military didnt want them to stay...) when all the sudden, I hear a distress call in space. Pirates inbound from Sigma 13. I hop in my Wrath, and get ready for a long fight.
In orbit, I immediately go to Sig 13 jump hole and engage the pirates. After being ordered to return to planet side by Captain Meric, I await further orders from the commanding officers. Then, the Westphalia shows up.
We engage in a long battle, keeping the pirates close to the capital ships while Dieter, Gerhard, and myself engage the fighters. Gerhard was fraged immediately. Dieter lasted a long time against the light fighters, but he was fraged as well. Targeting their weak spot, I continue the engagement, to find my stock of Bots are depleted! A quick radio to the Westphalia, and our holds are refilled. For another 10 minutes, we are engaged, until something hit my ship, and destroyed everything save 2 silver fires. But do I retreat? NEVER! I continue to engage and they STILL have trouble killing me until I run out of bots again, and accidentally run into the glowing green blast of energy that originated from the Westphalia.
My wrath, which had see so much duty, is now destroyed. Oder said they would try to patch it up, but they are begining to doubt that it is repairable. The shipyards on New Berlin offered a newer Wrath, with advanced features, but I am sad to see my old friend go in such fashion.
These were it's final moments:
That little wrath had seen combat from assisting KNF in Honshu against the Nova invasion, to countless patrols in Rheinland. It had served the Faherland well, and may it rest in peace. I must take a moment of silence to honor this little vessel.

That is all I have to report, other than I am ready for duty one more.
Ein Volk, Ein Kanzler, Ein Rheinland!
FUR RHEINLAND!
