Addendum to Lieutenant Villers' report.
Upon entering the combat area near the Stuttgart jump gate, we found [RF]-Klara.Eichel locked in combat with [WRF]-Alpha.Wing-5, who promptly killed himself with his own munitions. Most amusing. While comrade Eichell was mopping up the reminds of Alpha-5, [WRF]Beta.Wing-3 arrived and challenged myself and the Lieutenant. At this point, we were reinforced by [RF]Verteiler and Shaf.Hauzzen (a Thor bomber), who were counterbalanced by a hoard of [WRF] Wraiths and a pair of secondary fleet pilots - a Rhienland Bomber and Mjolnir super heavy fighter. I was able to land a supernova on the super-heavy fighter - Mallice, cleanly atomising it.
At this point, a nearby Bounty Hunter Gunship also engaged, going by the name of Hunter_Kane. Myself, the Lieutenant and comrade Hauzzen promptly counter attacked. The WRF task force was making little progress against the Red Front fighters, and so swapped target to Lieutenant Villers. At roughly this time, the Rhienland battleship RNC-Asgard also arrived. After a period of sustaining heavy fire, Villers' ship was breached and she was forced to eject. The pod was tractored by friendly forces, and the fight continued. I will take the time to personally train the Lieutenant in hostile evasive manoeuvres, for such occasions in the future.
Myself and comrade Huzzen continued to focus our fire on the gunship, destroying it. We then trained our guns on the battleship, dropping its shields and damaging its hull. The battleship retreated at this point, heading towards the Stuttgart jump gate. Huzzen was forced to disengage and fall back at this point. Upon jumping, I moved to regroup with the Hessian battlegroup, only to discover it had been entirely destroyed by hostile forces. The remaining WRF fighters then chased me 70k to the Omega 5 jump hole, failing to inflict any damage. I docked on Ronneburg and powered down.
