Guten tag , brothers !

Today a Red Hessian ship delivered armament and supplies to out beloved home of Frankfurt. Among those supplies was a ship that was ordered for me. The construction of the ship has taken less time then expected and the Hessians are proud of there creation!



RH-GS17 "Loki" Red Hessian Light Fighter

Our engeneers quickly armed the Hessian beast and filled it with fuel , from the last raid of facist Rafineries.

All systems where operational and I took the ship on a recon mission around Volksfront territory.

That is when I received a transmision from a group of free people in New Berlin , they have evaded Millitary presence so far and supplied us with information about facist instalations thrue out Rheinland. For security reasons there names shall not be included in this transmision.

They infrormed me that there was a Wilde , running amok within New Berlin. Those monsters are a direct threat to the free people of Rheinland and so I went to investigate the matter.

After a short trip I arrived within New Berlin. Only to see the horror wich unfolded before my eyes. The creature's ship was like nothing I have seen before , clearly an out of this world design.



It's undelings (NPC's) swarmed my ship in a matter of seconds , there weapons grinding my hull within moments. But the supirior manuvarability of my ship , alowed me to retreat to a safe distance. My shield was operational again and weapons locked , I was determined to fight the monster , but it dissapeared in a blink of an eye.

Soon it became obvios that I was not the only one who wanted that monster purged. A Millitary Bomber appeared , it carried the republicans identification , but it's weapons and ship design was facist. Having lost it's pray , the pilot desided not to return home empty handed. Little that he know , he was not coming back home at all.

{ The folowing footages where taken from my ships camera's and sensors }




My weapons kept the enemy ship's shield's down at all times. The clumsy oaf tried to evade the hellfire I unleashed upon it but was unable to out manuver the smart Hessian design. Soon it became clear that even with his supirior weapons and shielding , he was about the meet the fate of all those who would exploit the people of Rheinland - death !



His hull was slowly being grinded by our Lugers until the structure of the ship grumbled. And then ...



... death showed it's face to claim the soul of this facist !


It has been a good day for the Volksfron and it has been an honor to serve !

Fur Rheinland!

We are indepandant Pirates, we are in the process of getting our whole Status page together, hence the lack of knowledge on your end. However, that is how it goes in life, you learn, well, as you go...in this case as you receive fire. We pairate in the Sigma 13 area almost exclusively, as we have travelled to fill in our maps of Sirius we have pirated people to support our ships mainly. Out of Sigma 13 we really have little care. We plan to truly OWN 13 one day, like it or not, that is our goal. We will not reorganize to fit your likings, too bad, so sad. If you encounter us, we will be as we should be expected, polite, and firm. We have no fear of dying, as you saw as I sat near Yanagi soaking the patrols and even the stations fire. Also, we have little patience for others, plain and simple. You have little patience for the Rheinland Government, so you should understand this. When we say that a vessel is there to do us a service, that service comes with protection, as you learned. We will NOT brook violations of our dealings very well. We would rather make you dust and go on with our business. We have respect, and should ALWAYS have this respect. Not just for Junkers, but for ANY governing group in an area of Sirius. However, as pirates mainly we also have little use for their politics. This causes many issues. We do not tax for money then say go and I will see you on the return trip. We fight with honor, well we tax with honor as well. If we tax someone we offer 24 hours, free and clear, not just from our taxation, but from others in Sigma 13 as well. If you try to tax someone I have already taken money from and you are in Sigma 13, EXPECT to be engaged by RaVeN Vessels. That trader has paid for that service to us and WILL get it. You are welcome to cry in your life pod when it ejects, just wipe those tears away before we tractor you or you WILL BE made fun of, as we will NOT show our fear OR our backside in a fight even if we are losing. We would rather die honorably.

Your interactions tonight in my opinion were exemplatory and deserve praise. I would be honored to kill or die to you. A man with tactics and a little nerve, this is a good find.

As for my Order Turrets, they were the 'Stock' Turrets I purchased at Kyoto at the time of commissioning my Dragon Gunboat. The entire loadout is that way, actually. I have a set of other guns I am getting delivered, and these will replace the Order Turrets, and one or more of the Missile bays. Hoever, the Dealer has been unable to send the delivery vessel, and now, being as I have been, 'Evicted' from my Yanagi apartment and bay rights, I am living in my ships hold. Delivery will be a mite tricky for this reason. Until I find a friendly port of call, I am unfotunatly stuck with this loadout. If my guns are so undesirab;e to my kind, why would they be availab;e freely on the bases I am welcome at? This just seems understandable to me. If you have doubt of my word. Go to Kyoto or scan it frm Longe Range Scanners, and see if they don't sell the Order Turrets...if it is not there, it was Yanagi, and well, as you know until tonight I was welcome there. Even called it home.

I will try to answer any other questions you have. Feel free to contact me.

Treachery!

Today a Lane Hacker attacked one of our cells in Hamburg. I arrived in the midst of his ambush. This Lane Hacker, sporting a Lane Hacker gunship, had tractor in several of our comerades and was attempting to make off with them. When I demanded that release our fellow party members, not only did he not do so, but he focused his fire upon my ship. Imagine that, the coward feared a sole Loki. Perhaps he was right, though, as that Loki would soon prove to be his end. Due to the serious nature of this incursion, I called in a rather recent Bundschuh recruit, Helene Krause. Unfortunately, her ship was destroyed by the missiles of this fiend not long after she engaged. I was forced to eject some captured bounty hunters in order to rescue her. I'm ordering the dockmaster on Bruchsal to supply her with a new vessel as a reward for her valour and bravery.



A Rheinland Military patrol happened to be patrolling near Alster shipyard at the time and caught flashes from our battle on their sensors. The ever curious Military ventured deep into the field to see myself embroiled in battle with the Hacker. The Hacker then began to fire upon them as well, pulling them into the fight. I suppose I should be thankful for that. Two soldiers and a rogue pirate might have been too much for me.

Together, defending the Rheinland against this foreign incursion, the soldiers and I managed to bring down this villain and tear his ship apart. The Libertonians appear to have sunk so far as to hire common pirates to attack the Rheinland! By the time of the Hacker's destruction, the battle had moved into Frankfurt. It almost looked like the soldiers were going to be respectable and let me go without a fight. I almost had some hope, some small hope that perhaps the Gottkanzler had not yet driven these soldiers into fanaticism. Alas, 'twas not the case.



I had barely activated my cruise engines to leave the cloud when I noticed one of them, Katharina Guntram, in pursuit. Not far behind her was her wingman, a Viktor Zirzow. I once again suggested that they divert their course. My advice fell on deaf ears. They disrupted my cruise engine and opened fire.

This second battle proved to be rather fruitless, with neither of us being able to get a good hit in. Not too far into the fight, a lone Federal Police Officer stumbled upon a Shadow Outcast Brigade convoy, apparently smuggling through our backyard. He quickly succumed to the Outcast's firepower and was forced to eject. In light of the hand that the military had led me earlier, I gave them a choice. They could go rescue their fellow man, or they could face the same fate as him at the hands of the Volksfront. Being wise ones, they diverted their course and headed for his beacon. Exhausted, I returned to Bruchsal, finally.

Bundschuh, it seems as though the Gottkanzler is losing his grip on the military! Some of their newer recruits are beginning to show compassion and understanding. They haven't yet been broken. We must strike upon this chink in their armour! We must ensure that our message of hope and freedom, of liberation and justice, reaches the lowest ranks of the military! We have a chance to inject a virus into their command structure, showing them the light.

Guten tag , brothers and sisters of the Volksfront freedom movement.

I have spend the last night in the bar at the Junker station in Sigma-13 , Yanagi. There was a lead I was folowing there , about a rumored group of Corsairs who where atacking revolutionary patrols around Rheinland. It was a dry lead in my opinion , the Volksfront where not interested in the wars the Outcasts and the Corsairs waged upon each other. And for that , both parties didn't care much for the Bundchuh.

The lead was indeed dry , the person who provided me with the information had a strong stench of alchohol coming from him and his words where mixed up and made no sence.

I left the Junker base soon after I had refueled and re-armed my vessel. I desided to visit New Berlin , before I head home for Frankfurt. There where numerous reports of people standing againts the opression of the facists in New Berlin , I tought that this was an exelent time for me to streinghten there resolve.

New Berlin was quite , too quite. But that did not matter , I started spreading words of truth among the people of New Berlin. Words that I hoped will fill them with hope for a better Rheinland , for a brighter future. A future where they would not have to fear opression and facism from people who lie to them , saying they protect them.





The messages where transmitted succesfully. But the people on the planet and the stations who listened to my words could not have send me a reply. They knew that we could not risk exposure to the facists swines , thus in complete silence I left New Berlin.

Heading home to Bruchsal base. It has been quite some time since I had returned there.

Upon entering the Frankfurt system , I picked up a scrambled stransmission from one of our scouting patrols. They send me the coordinates of a facist ship , wich was nearby. I picked up his trail and when he was within my long scanner range I knew who that was. The facists ship had been destroyed by me in our last encounter.

//Image from a fight wich took place yestarday\\



I tought that I should leave him alive in the pod and that he'll perhaps re-think his sinful way. It looked like I was sadly mistaken. The facist swine had accuired a new ship and was quicly back to his old ways. I contacted him in the hope that my words can yet change his deluded mind and show him the light for wich we fight for.




By that time my scanners picked up another signal coming close to my own. I did not scan the target any further , but from the brief scan I understood it was a Corsair Cruiser vessel , wich was now in the orbit near the planet. I concentrated on the presence of the rheinalnd military officer and since the commander of the ship did not show any sings of hostility towards me , I tought that he made a mistake coming here and was on his way to leave.
I began to remember the mixed words that old junker was telling me back in that bar , but I never would have belived that the Corsairs would dispach such a large vessel for an operation that requred emence presission and stealth.
In those moments that I spend thinking about the old junker , the corsair commander suddenly opened fire upon my vessle. The Loki's shields where quicky dismantled and before I can even react , his weapons had reached the engines and the explossion ripped the small ship appart. I was lucky to escape with my life. My arm has been severely injured in the atack. The ship quicly disapeared and I was brought home by a Bundchuh scouting party.
The bloody Corsairs have shown there true colours in my opinion. I say that we support our Hessian brothers and keep the Corsairs in there place. That is my personal opinion in the matter.

Good day everyone.

Several minutes ago, I had a run in with the Military. I attempted to engage in a conversation about the state of affairs of our once great nation, but they repeatedly tried to dismiss it out of hand without a bit of logic behind their words.

This message that was recorded on my comm unit sums things up. Always thinking of pay.


Shortly after they left to return to New Berlin and I landed. The rocks near Bruchsal seemed to have damaged my engines slightly - my ship was pulling to the side. It should be fixed soon though.

I hope to better aid the Volksfront and our nation in the future.

A tall young man entered the green , dark , filled with revolutionary sloguns. It was the Volksfronts command chaimber in Brunchal base. He looked at his supirior director. Young leutenant Lyubomir was abit shacken from the report he was about to give. His left arm was bandaged in a hurry and there was traces of blood on his face. Never the less , his words where confidented and filled with patrotism.

- Guten tag , main directror. I was on a reconosence mission and I have found some disturbing things about those facist swines. It all began when I received a scrambled transmission from a ship wich was under atack in New Berlin. The ship was taking heavy damage and I was not able to recodnise the signal. Since I was passing thrue Sigma-13 , Berlin was very close and I desided to check what was going on. Upon my arrival my scanners picked up a libertorian signal. I know , director , the libertorians are not better to be trusted then those facist opressors. I went close to see what kind of ship the Libertorian was in , when I this infront of my eyes. This is a picture taken directly from my ship's onboard camera.






It seems that there has been a new Rhinland Battleship created , this one I was not familiar with. And the ship had the markings of Liberty all over it. The green beast had its escort wich consisted of two more capital class ships , as far as my sensors could identify them. There where a Cruiser and a Gunboat. All that force had entered the asteroid field around the Sigma-13 Jump Hole. It seems tha facist dogs are either growing fearless or brainless. The ships where engaging a small group of Outcasts. I was unable to provide any assistance for the small vessels , such act would give away my cover. I was supriced to see that such a large force was brought to deal with just two Outcast ships.





The opressors seemed not to notice me , so I was able to observe there behavior for a long period of time. I wanted to learn more about , who was the commander of this new Battleship. It seemed hard to believe that the facist millitary had enoght resoarces to construct such a ship and do it in such a short notice , without us or our Hessian brothers to notice.

Director , If I may speak frealy on this matter. I belive that the libertorians have provided reasoarces for the construction of this ship , explaning the libertorian signal is possesed. Yet there was little doubt the commaneder of the ship was a facist. His false ambitions had his ship grind away thrue thausands of meteors hitting his green behimoth.

Suddenly , the Outcast ships moved towards my direction , trying to evade the warships fire all the way to the JH. I had a secure possition behind sereral large rock formations , but it was clear just how long they could withstand the fire power of the Rheinland beasts. My ship was now close enough to observe the horror that was unleashed upon the Outcast pilots. Little that I knew , that soon I would also be put on the other side of the that dreadfull beasts weapons systems.



After a very short fight another military vessel appeared. This time it was a fighter , but it quicly engaged the atacked Outcasts. Such imense force for just two Outcasts fighters. I was not able to understand the means in wich these facists act. It seemed there very sence for honor had been stripped away from them and replaced with nothing but arogance and blood thrirst.



Shortly after the two Outcast ships where destroyed. After that , the facist military set there eyes on a smaller target , me.




The large rocks , wich I tought would keep me safe where turned to dust after a volley of the Battleships turrets. That was the last photograph I was able to take , director. Shortly after several direct hits to my ships hull made it impossible for the recording system to function. The ship was struck heavily , but I managed to dodge and navigate myself to the nearby jump hole to Sigma-13.

This has trully been a dark day. The presence of this new battleship would make our missions harder. We must learn more about the commander of this vessel and see to it that he does not bring any more shame to Rheinland with his facist actions.

Permission to return to my quorters , director.

- Granted. - Said the man and started observing the footage before him.

To: The Volksfront

Today is a day to be proud, members of the Volksfront! As of today, I am promoting several distinguished members further up our ranks. The movement is growing, and as it does so, we must expand our command structure to address it.

Leutnant, or should I say Major, Lyubomir Gechevski shall now hold the rank of major due to his outstanding intelligence contributions to the databanks of the Bundschuh. Without your intel, we might be caught off-guard by a military expansion.

Finn Vollhart should also be pleased to find himself to be a Hauptmann now. For too long has your outstanding valour and courage in battle, not to mention your deadly aim, gone unnoticed. I hear that you've even become a legend among our foes.

I would also like to welcome Thea Bauer to the full rank of Leutant. Another great coup for us. Welcome to the Volksfront.

####Transmission Terminated####

[Eternal]

The small craft transmitted its identification code to the flight officer at Bruchal base.

'This is major Lyubomir Gechevski. Requesting permission to dock'

'Granded , good to have you back , sir'

The large door opented the way to the landing bay. His Loki was heavily damaged and one of the two engines was not working , actually it was missing from the ship. Lyubomir left the ship quickly , aldo the bad condition he and his ship where , it seemed that was not what concerned him. A quick order to beging repairs on his ship left his mounth and he rushed with haste to the command chaimber.


Green flags and pictures of honorable men and women , who gave there lives for the revolution decorated the large room.. Lyubomir felt proud and wished that his own picture becomes a part of this room one day. 'The greatest death..' - he said to himself.

Not so long after his arrival , men and women bacame entering the command room. Amongs them there was the director and several more aces and proud revolutionaries of the Volksfront. One after another , all of them took there seats and looked at the young major with trust and respect in there eyes. All the lights in the room where turned off and only a white screen behind him eluminated the entire room.

'Guten tag , main brothers and sisters. It seems I am the barer of ill news , once again'

The people started wispering , there faces showed concerned expretions. The director quicly order for silence in the room and Lyubomir continued.

;As you all know well , my main objective is reconosence deep into facist theritory. I was passing near that dreadfull , Dauman station - The Ring to observe the flowing mass of cargo ships delivering Niobium to the complex. Feeding the facist military with the thing they need most to construct there ships of war. I tought I was well away from there scanners range , hiding behind the small moon near the station. But my presence did not seem to be unnoticed. On my scanner appeared the shape of yet another , newly constructed Rheinland Battleship. The imence flow of Niobium these days has surely helped for the construction of so many of these ships lately. I quicly desided to move away from the ship , this was a battle that I could not hope to win.



Little that I knew , that I had fell for there trap. Infront of me appeared the dreadfull looks of yet another Rheinland Battleship. That one , I have observed and documented before. It still beared a libertorian sign.



The two massive ships desided to rip me to shreads , but soon found out that it is not easy to hit a highly manuvarable craft like the Loki. My only tought was how far had these military swines went , when they dispach two of those massive ships to fight of a lonely fighter. My mind quickly returned to face reality , for the battle was not yet over.

I desided that at this point , the very best thing i could do is to try and learn as much as I can about the nature of those ships. I tried to take cover into the nearby asteroid field but the two ships where closing the distance between us , only due to the quick manuvers of the Loki was I able to survive the encounter. The massive ships digged into the asteroid field , destroying everything in there path. From my expirience with such massive ships , I've learned that the best thing to do in this kind of situation is to fly near them , they are like giant beast , strong and powerfull , but fat and slow. I tought that If I fly pass them , they would halt there fire , fearing they might hit each other. I was very wrong about that , seems that the bloodthirst of both commanders was blinding there common sence. Volley after volley they fired at me , with no concern for there crew or the crew of the other vessel.






This pictures speak for themselves I believe. I think that such acts from the miliraty show that our movement is indeed harvesting success. I have contacted several gatherings of young people on the planents and stations under the facist regeme. They fully support our efforts to bring an end to the meaningless war and rid them of the facist swines. The military is becoming more and more desprate to stop us , I have no other way of explaning the atack of two Battleships on one fighter. They have finaly recodnised that our movement is growing in popularity withing the hearts of people. Desprate not to loose control over there pragmatic little world the facist have grown dim and have jumped to last resorts in the atempt to halt our expanding , revolutionary goal. After I took the picture of the two desprate battleship commanders , the hull of the Loki was damaged , there for I tought no other risk was nessesary and headed home.

On my way away from the system , I received a transmission from the commander of one of the ships. That transmission made me feel even better. It seems that the facist know little of our movement , they foolishly think we survive only due to the help of Outcasts , wich is absurd at the very least. There blissfull minds have no idea about the structure of the Volksfront , information is our main ally. If they wish to belive in nonsence like that , I say let them.




Aldo they facist swines are ill informed , we cannot overlook the fact that they have created yet another one of those terror machines. We have to take some measures about this matter , I suggest we contact the Red Hessians and request additional bombers of the Thor type. At the rate the capital fleet of the miliraty is growing , we are going to need them. Also , I have overheared reports of Red Hessians confronting these Battleships , if my intel is correct they where found within Dresden.

Thank you all for the attention.

Today I went to patrol in Frankfurt. As I reached Holstein 2 Military pilots were waiting for me, Karl Westerman and Malexa Malte. They demonstrated my every wonders about the Rheinland Military, when Malexa said something. I couldn't answer for that because they immediately engaged me and the firework that they made. But a luckily mine blew them in one round. A bit later an another Military vessel tried to catch me, Viktor Blumberg. His ship was quite to hit because he had 2 missile and a Torpedo launcher. I played with him until he ran out of ammo then an another luckily mine destroyed his ship. Unfortunately they made some damages band I returned to Beiffeld where I locked them and repaired my ship too.
