When jumping from Coronado into Cortez, we were immediately ambushed by a rookie gang of 4 Rhinelanders. They claimed to be some Rhineland Special Forces that were "disrupting trade" in Liberty. Those Rhinelanders must really be getting desperate. These were nothing more than [KPT] wanna-be's.
These were probably just kids pretending to be submarines or something, since they all had "U-" before their callsigns. They were clearly way over their heads. Our convoy took negligible damage and there were no casualties. I think they did more damage to themselves than to our ships:
Our convoy split up. 2 of our ships passed by them right away and finished the route, while the other 2 of us soaked up some sun on Curacao for a while until the Rhinelanders wandered off. Then we simply flew around them and finished the route. We also warned a few other traders about the Rhinelanders and they too were able to avoid any confrontation. The situation gave us all a good laugh.
Casualties:
None.
CEO Notes: "The route itself went quite well. We supplied our Council friends up in Languedoc with some Neon, and returned home with Cryocubes. Everyone performed professionally and it was a very nice convoy. Bank fees were forwarded to the Traveller."
