LAWFUL CONTRACTS - RHEINLAND - Rheinland Military Bounty Coordination Office

[aerelm]

Guten abend,
The name is Christian Webb, a Bretonian by birth who's been living in Rheinland for most of his life.
Let's just say I've been working as a "privateer" for an organization until now, taking care of some "business"
for them around Liberty and Omegas (If you know what I mean). But after a series of disagreements between
me and one of the leaders of that organization, I decided to move out and get my own business going.
I have never broken any law in Rheinland space and sovereignty and I believe my reputation with
every Rheinland-based lawful faction reflects this fact. That is why I decided to start working
for people who I trust most and spend time in systems I know best.

Grant me access to this board and I'll start haunting down those Hessians until they bleed!




Exact registry code of my vessel for purpose of payments is Blitzgeist.

Salutations.

Given the evolving nature of the Omega's political sphere and the demands of the market our company will no longer be able to proceed forward in good faith with the Republic.

We appreciate the opportunities we've had to work with you now and in the past and look forward to doing so again in the future.

***INCOMING RHEINLAND TRANSMISSION***

[font=Century Gothic]
[color=#33FF33]Herr O'neill, 8 million credits have been forwarded to your account as a reward for your achievements. On a side note, we have found the Osiris an exceptionally impressive of a kill.

Herr Webb, your registration has been approved. Looking forward to working with you.

Reavers, we are saddened to witness that such an extended period of flourishing collaboration in business came to such an end. I would give you my wish for a good fortune, if that didn't mean me wishing the demise of our fine Rheinwehr soldiers. I regret to inform you that we also had to invest the credits we owe you into replacing the ships you shot down in the Omegas a few hours earlier, I can only hope that you understand that some members of the command were hesitant to believe that paying you would be going to a good cause.

Until next time, then.


Signed,
Lucas Engel
Bounty Coordination Officer

This has been one hell of a night.

We received a message from a transport that stated they saw a ship with the name Rip.Red.Rorry and a Corsair IFF. We'€™ve been told he badly damaged Captain'€™s Owens Gunboat and he had heavier armor than we did. We weren'€™t going to take any chances. We contacted the RNC_Victoria_Luise to assist us. She was a Destroyer class vessel and her Captain was more than willing to lend a hand. We waited at the station, mid-way in Frankfurt when a Kruger transport communicated they were under attack and the RNC_Victoria_Luise was still on route. We had to engage.

Rip didn'€™t seem to want to attack the transport but rather draw us out. At range we tried to disable the shields before we began a frontal attack. Those Rheinland missiles did come in handy then. I was taken back by the shear tenacity of this chap, he was playing for keeps. When the RNC_Victoria_Luise arrived, taking no chances, we asked for assistance. We finally had the support from the RNC_Victoria_Luise and eventually we were able to take him out. The Captain of the RNC_Victoria_Luise thanked me and we docked back in Munich.

-----Rip.Red.Rorry dethroned-----

What struck me was my communications officer lost contact with the RNC_Victoria_Luise shortly after it entered Sigma 13. Normally, I would have believed it was the nebula that blocked the communications signals, but it wasn'€™t. All transmissions were being deliberately scrambled and my tactical officer concluded that the RNC_Victoria_Luise had run into an ambush. By the time we got to Sigma 13 the RNC_Victoria_Luise main reactor went critical and she was barely running on life support. What we found was unbelievable.

Three Reaver Mercenary bombers in a formation attacking a Rheinland Capital ship. I honestly didn'€™t think they would go that far. I ordered the navigation to get us the hell out of Sigma 13. The problem was, there were three Mercinaries that were headed towards Rheinland space, and we were the only ship even close. I sounded the alert status and we waited at the gate. The moment they started coming through we stated out intentions to blow them to hell and back and opened fire.

In all my days of running patrols in Britionia, I have never been in such a predicament. I'€™ll be honest, I didn'€™t expect to survive. I was hoping the border station would provide a partial defense while we keyed in on the bombers, but we, and the Mercs were in for one hell of a surprise. Two Rheinland Battleships cruised in and with their escorts opened fire. This was the break we needed. We managed to take out one of the bombers and tried to circle back and take out the other two. They were getting smart. They stayed in a loose formation and kept behind us and forced us to attack them in open space away from the protection of the Battleships. The Rheinland fighter escorts were doing a real number on them, but they were being taking out one by one. We couldn'€™t play it safe much longer.

We were out of repair robots and batteries and if not for a passing Kruger transport, who'€™s ID we will not say for their safety, we would have been finished. They supplied us with enough repair bots and bats to keep fighting on. My tactical officer found out why the battle was so hard pressed. Silver:Reaver was one of their ace bomber pilots and was deadly with his SNAC launcher. I commanded my tactical officer to return turret control back to the crews and ordered the helm to maintain a straight course. The bombers were far too agile to sit and spin, but our turrets could out turn them. The plan worked. Silver:Reaver was, most likely, expecting us to not change tactics and at the last moment, we got him with a full spread of missiles. Malachite.Reaver was the last one. He seemed less of a veteran pilot but again, we took no chances. We fired a combination of disruptor and interceptor missiles at him which caused him to panic. He did the best thing he could in his situation and used the near-by jump gate as a barrier between the missiles and him. It worked but I did something he didn'€™t expect and flew right down the throat of the Jump gate and flushed him out. After a few turns, he tried several times to evade, but we eventually got him. Everyone on the bridge cheered and hollered. We had won the battle.

---Cobalt.Reaver dispatched---
---Silver:Reaver destroyed---
---Malachite.Reaver gunned down---

I sat in my chair and contemplated the implications of all this. Mercenaries openly attacking Rheinland war ships was just incomprehensible. Who the hell would be paying them so much to attack a military force? Our victory was bitter sweet. We got a report from a trade ship in New Berlin that they were witnessing an attack on a Rheinland pilot by none other than Reaver pilots. We never made it in time. The remaining Reaver forces spread out between New Berlin and Frankfurt and we lost communication with the transport giving us the information. They most likely were heading the other way and I don'€™t blame them. We didn'€™t engage the remaining Reaver forces and they were trying to goad us into attacking. We barely made it through a fight with three bombers and a hell of a lot of help, we wouldn'€™t have made it against four unknown Reaver ships. We were able to encourage one Interspace Commerce transport to return his Military Vehicles to Munich without opening fire. There was enough bloodshed for one day. We finally landed in Frankfurt and made repairs and I'€™m trying to relaxed with my cup of hard tea, but I'€™m left feeling very concerned.

Killed:
3 Bombers
1 Gunboat

Rheinland, I'€™m officially requesting that the Reaver mercenary group be considered extremely hostile to all of Rheinland and that Rheinland do something about this. Kruger and Republican transports have come under fire from members of the Reaver Merc group as well. This has gone beyond mere pay offs and killing for money. Someone wants Rheinland hurt in a bloody bay way, and I think things are going to get worse. We'€™re standing with you till the end. Just help us keep that end from coming too soon.

Guten tag,
Omegas seem to be rather quiet as of late, or maybe it's just my bad timing, But every time I've
poked my nose around the place it was silent as a whorehouse around noon. Finally today I got one of those
bastard [RF] (Rotten Front of whatever) pilots who was in an annoying light fighter. So bad even
being in a light fighter didn't save him cause he seemed to be rather... "Nuke hungry"!



Payment of 1 million credits is due to Blitzgeist.

Guten Abend! You probably heard about recent bankruptcy of Daumann Heavy Construction. As a result we lost our contract for Emergency Defense Group deployment to Omega-11 covering whole Western Rheinland. Right now we are negotiating debt repayment with Duamann liquidators, as company owes us 110 000 000 Sirius Credits. In the meantime I believe we could send some of our patrols outside of Omega-7 to cover much of Western Rheinland or even beyond. If you're interested in cooperation with Emergecy Defense Group Enterprise we will be more than happy to hunt for you. Also, we would like to clarify two things. First of all, your bounty board lacks one important information. We are not sure what is the proper hunting ground. Are Omega-11, Omega-7, Omega-3 and Sigma-13 systems included? And second thing, we are not mercenaries. We uphold full neutrality policy when it comes to governmental and corporate conflicts. Our mission is to hunt pirates and criminals. I hope we will be fruitful and satisfying for both sides. Auf Wiedersehen!

I ran into a Bundschuh pilot ID: HeyI flying a Mjolnir 19-ARKM-N82 Rheinland Super Heavy Fighter. I thought that was rather odd and wrong and quickly asked him to leave or we'€™ll open fire. My navigation officer started reading to me the Bundschuh creed as we were midway through the trade lane to the station in Frankfurt. I had him stop on the first paragraph it hurt to hear the complete lack of facts these people had. At the station he said '€œwhat do you expect me leaving.'€

Now before I was in command of the Vigilance I spent three years in border station communications and the sheer scope of this pilot'€™s lack of common sense, or just really trying hard to feign ignorance just hit me the wrong way. I commanded the weapons master to just take him out of his misery.

That will teach him to think he can just roam through Rheinland unopposed.

We detected a moderate convoy entering into Munich and decided to wait at the gate for them to exit out and see if they would try to make a move to break the Military Vehicle blockade. I managed to catch and stop an independent Junker Scrapper and forced him to drop the cargo of Military Vehicles which he destroyed in space out of spite.
Seeing that he had lost his profit and time, I turned my attention back to the Munich gate. A RepEx transport RepEx>Himmel.von.Berlin came within range and offered his help. I honestly didn'€™t think much of it until a few moments later.

Another independent Junker ship emerged from Munich and stood us down. Himmel was the first to ID the ship as a TTR-1130 Series Pilgrim Slave Liner. The Captain was Gaius_Junkion and he opened fire nearly seconds later.

I know I was in a vessel that outclassed and out gunned that Slave liner but I panicked and ordered an evasive course along the slave liners Starboard side. Himmel took no such action and headed right for the liner, opening fire and eventually taking down the shields. He screamed over the communications channel to snap out of it and open fire on Gaius. I ordered a reverse view on the slave liner and my weapons master had a lock. Pulsing what remainder of their shields were left, we opened up at point blank range with all our heavy turrets and blew a hole in the side of the liner. That relentless bastard just kept on coming.

We came full about and I ordered the shields back up to help with gun recharge and lock on to the power core of the slave liner. When its shields failed again, we chained fired at the ships power core, sending it into a ball of fire.

Captain Himmel wasn'€™t slack in telling us we should have done better in so many words and I agree with him. On his request we filed this report and will continue our patrol for another hour. Ship and crew are fully operational.

Oh yes, something else. I'€™ve got several reports of two independent miners, pyroman and inforcer I believe are their ship IDs. Well the only thing that every one says is that something isn'€™t right when they pass by. No communications are heard from the two miner ships, Jim Southerland passed them entering into Omega 7 and said they just seemed lifeless and showed ups a red on his scans. No illegal cargo or activities reported, just that anyone who comes near them has a feeling that something is not right. We'€™ll keep an eye out on them.

Aditional Info: For the last few days we have monitored and nearly missed this transport every single time he ran from Munich through Frankfurt. We figured out he was using a series of random Jump hole/ Jump Gate flight navigations and held the trade lane to catch him red handed. It paid off. Normally I would have escorted him back to Munich and had him drop off the cargo but his repeat offences, which I cannot physically prove, and his blatant disregard for Rheinland law just sickens me.
