If one word describes Omega 7, it would be, fluid. I got a communication from a Kruger miner that it was under attack. I picked up some other varmint that blinked in and out. I figured he would join the party soon. I ran into the Kruger miner and a Universal bomber opening fire on a Hessian [RF]Bob.Cameroon . Either the Hessian was hopin his friend twould show up or just had an aching to test his resolve against a hard cold vacuum.
We had a report from a trade ship that there were pirates in the system so I took a bee line to their favorite ambush point. Sure enough it paid off. There were already two transports in the mix and we were already in an alert status. The two seemed familure, I think I saw one flying with Rorry's The two ships Identified were Ka'zilth and Fox.O'Water.
The two began a standard hit and run maneuvers which I figured out in a hurry. I sounded off a general assist call, not knowing if there were any others in the system. Again, I can't be thankful enough for those Rheinland missile turret we have on the Vigilance. The moment Fox.O'Water tried to pass over us with no shields, we fired off a missile at passed over us and it just plumed in a ball of fire. By the time assistance arrived, Ka'zilth was retreating to the Western cloud, perhaps to Hamburg.

Spire here. It's been a while since I took a patrol in New Berlin and its never a dull day.
I ran into a council BT485 "l'Ane" Brigand Transport, TK241-FarfDeT transporting scientists. I haven't seen a Gallia transport, or any ship in years and the first time was by accident. No laws or infractions on our space were made, I just wished to let Rheinland have a record of these ships and their entry into Sirius. I've talked to a few IMG ships and they have said something about larger ships starting to move into the Tau systems. But I don't see this affecting us anytime soon.
Later on that evening, we spotted a Junker class transport passed by New Berlin with a shipment of Cardamine. It did not have standard Junker tags so I cannot presume it was a registered junker craft. I disrupted the lane and called out to a local patrol unit ID Lady_Violet to assist me in stopping the transport. She additionally verified the cargo and with no willingness for the transport to drop the cargo, I opened fire first on the ship. Soon after a Bounty hunter bomber joined the mix and together we were able to detstroy the junker transport and prevent that vile substance from reaching it's destination.
Immediately after the junker transports destruction, a freelancer ID Water_Boy entered into New Berlin space. I only personally heard about him through others and he's a member of the defunct Rorry gang and took no time to open fire on us. All three of us returned the favor. We managed to inflict some damage on the gunboat but when it took out the Bounty hunter, our ace in the hole was spent. I told Lady_Violet to retreat back to New Berlin and I managed to deviate Water_Boy away from the planet as she landed. Soon after, I landed to make this report.
I'd like to enquire who Lady_Violet is? I've seen that pilot around New Berlin, hovering over the docking rings but she doesn't strike me as an official military or Police patrol recruit. Her fighter is also equipped with low-end offensive weapons, something not suitable for combat so close to home.

Howdy! Well ran into something I never thought to see in the Omegas, a Privateer! Now I CDed the varmint, sizing up that two Rheinland gunboats were on its tail but only fired off one missile and decided to follow it. Of all the dang burned ways of life and liberty, this dude says the Privateers or sum of them gone rouge. Now I don't know much about them but frum wut Marshal been spinnin about them, they were the unsung heros of the Queen herself.
With that much on the line, no way in a horse's hell they went rouge. I followed that dude into Omega 3 where he parked at the Freeport. No surprise there. Well, spinnin around I come to fine he lifted off and headed back to the Omegas. Well sounding off to who ever was still round those parts, a second Privateer pops out! Rouge my foot. Sumthins not right here.
They started firing on me immediately but the Venerable's shields held until we could make way to the jump gate back to Omega 7. Those two said they twould be back there so I sounded off a system alert but the varmints never came through. I'm fine with that.
Now, might be an interest to Rheinland, that another group of Privateers raised a bit of hell up towards the IMG's stomping ground. Now mind ya'll this was on the word of another IMG ship I asked and I twasnt there. Maybe you can makes heads er tails of all this Rheinalnd.
Finally, somfin I never recommend anyone do. Talk to an Outcast. Never seen many up close but fer this time I reckon I spin the yarn with him a bit, asking him wuts he up to and wuts he after. The gasser wanted to join the SCRA. Unbelievable!
Didn't the Collation make the Hispania into the wreck it is today and made the Outcasts, well outcasts? Anyway, the Law is the law. Twer good and all to talk with him but can't let someone like that stick around the Omegas. After opening fire and figuring him out, the Cowboy put him in his place. If he survived, I'm sure he'll be back, just twont be in no mood fer a chat I reckon.
Oh yea, right after those Privateers came revving in, a Shire class transport cam through Omega 7. Now its nothing special unless It's got Royal Navy IFF on the thing. Name of the transport was the Waldpower taking sum refugees most likely to Frankfurt. All good for the people but why is a Royal Navy ship doing scrub work? Having a Royal haullin refugees is like, well, a Privateer going rouge. Makes all kinds of no sense. Just letting ya'll know.

This is a good one. The second time I dun seen a zoner, let a lone a Guard ship was in Omega 7 with this varmint Gear_Trader, dun thinking he's all above the law. And when I mean law I mean the law of humanity. Like not giving the ropes to a bunch of people dun found themselves shackling chains when they should be makin new lives fer themselves.
First, he agreed to hand over people, slaves mind you, 75 people to a nomad infested Wild pilot. Do you people know what those squids DO to us? I didn't think for one second that was some Rheinalnd secret ops guy. No one in their right mind holds Nomads in their ship and come on, its IFF is WILD.
I thought I dun convinced a Hessian Gunship that people are more important than grudges and it seemed to just head off to Omega 7.
Finally, when the Zoner transport agreed to return to yer Freeport in omega 3, it tried to pull a fast one on me, to get me enter Omega 7 first so that Hessian could jump me.
Now ya'll got no idea how itchin I was to hull one of those zoner guard transports but I had to turn my attentions to the Hessian Gunboat that zoner hired to defend its sorry hide as it dropped the slaves at the Hessian base.
Bein a law man, I know it's not all about me, and I did my part and laid not a holster on that Zoner transport.
It seems the Zoner's so-called neutrality includes assisting the infected members of the Wild, assisting and hiring Hessians for defensive cover while transportin people against their will to hell's unknown.
A story with a happy ending. Got a line on a new Reaver Merc ID Fancy.Pants.Reaver stirring up trouble for a Kruger miner. The Rheinland Cruiser was just scarin its fancy pants off, no real damage, but Kruger wanted it dead. After a few moments and several missiles, the Reaver was reaped. I stayed around fer a bit but no reprisal attack force showed up. It was nice to have Omega 7, relatively quiet.

Well if you stop the people from doing the bad, it's good right? Right! Stopped this Indi trader taking some of the fuzzy Gaian animals. Not much of a crime but I read this article a while back about cross planetary contamination, bio hazards and having something with three eyes is just freaky deaky. Well with no researcher ID I wasn't going to chance some poor kid getting his eyes scratched out by his new wild pet 'Fluffy.' I conversed with Alardo.Lindsaran and he was a rather reasonable guy. Yea yea he pulled a fast one, but a fast one in the right direction. He must have dropped the Gaian things at the station that sells MOX because in Frankfurt, that's all he had. Nothing wrong with that, and I'm not going to criminalize him just yet for it.
I caught a Reaver entering Stuttgart and disrupted the lane, planet side of Stuttgart itself. That Reaver didn't seem to be in any mood to fight but I wasn't going to let him go. Following him to Biden Biden, I prevented him from taking the lane to Omega 11 and engaged him full on. The Local patrols didn't take too kindly to him dropping mines all over the place which caused the planetary defenses to go on alert. These Reaver bastards aren't so amazing when its one on one. Within 4 minutes, that bomber was history.

And hello again! I've seen this Professor_Farnsworth a few times and thought he was part of that research and projects you were all doing in Frankfurt so I never gave him a passing thought. Well at Mannheim I found him transporting Counterfeit Software! Ok, gave him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was an IMG researcher? Nope just an IMG. I tried to tell him the error of his ways but he just started opening fire on me! No warning! How rude. He then landed at Mannheim.

[--- System ID: Munich -> Frankfurt ---]
On patrol in Munich I ran into two transport ships heading into the system in haste. When I communicated out to them, they reported Rorry was in Frankfurt, stopping them all for 'payments.' I was in contact with a RepEx defender who said they spotted Rorry and were about to engage when another RepEx ship communicated that they saw a Hessian Gunship also in Frankfurt. Rorry and the Hessian were apparently not working together. Rorry Entered Munich as I thought he would and I opened fire on him the moment he did. The bloody bastard headed out of Munich as fast as he could, but I wasn't just about to chase after him.
Holding at the gate, to see if he would reenter the system, the IMG Titanic class transport flown by Professor_Farnsworth was hauling military vehicles. Telling him he couldn't do that, I got a call from RepEx|Conrad.Decker that he has located Rorry and was awaiting my call on the matter. With a bit of fury, Professor_Farnsworth expressed that he would return the cargo, but I could not stay to find out. I choose to help Conrad.
Upon entering Frankfurt, I caught the bloody bastard Rorry nine kilometers above me with Conrad chasing after him. I'll give Conrad credit, he's got a brass pair chasing after Rorry in a light fighter.
The RepEx pilot made a mention about that Professor Farnsworth chap and chasing after him, but I neither scanned his ship when he left Munich nor followed after him. Honestly, after reading about the stunt he pulled with Richards, I'm putting him on the Rheinland Criminal Database.
