Guten Abend.
I will cut right to the point, in an effort to increase the effectiveness of Rheinland's finest. I am sharing these intelligence reports with you, I hope you make good use of them.
Departing from the Strausberg, CLASSIFIED alias CLASSIFIED, and myself, alias CLASSIFIED made our way into Dresden via the Jumpgate.
To our surprise, there was no guards posted by the criminal elements on the Dresden side. The trade lane was still operational, although following lead to a Bundschuh held Bautzen Station. Here we started to encounter some resistance to our presence, but we managed to evade pursuers. From then on we following the broken trade lane rings to what used to be Pirna Border Station, the criminal elements do not seem to have made use of what is left.
We continued to follow the broken chain of trade lanes, and we eventually reached Leipzig Station. It would seem that the Red Hessians have made great use of the station, as it now supports mooring fixtures for larger ships. Needless to say, it is a priority target for the military to destroy. We also discovered that they are still attempting to mine the field, although without the ability of Rheinland Corporations it is hard to say how effective they have been.
We were unable to investigate the Giftnebel cloud, owing to the surge of Red Hessian activity to our presence. We had to made our escape from the system sooner than preferred.
Our mission started from Battleship Strausberg. The squad was composed of CLASSIFIED alias CLASSIFIED, CLASSIFIED alias CLASSIFIED and myself.
We crossed the Frankfurt system without encountering any resistance, and started gathering information as soon as we arrived in Munich.
As you will be able to see on the guncam image, there is a station directly outside the Jump Gate: Nuremberg Border Station. We believe it belongs to the Federalists, however the station did not seem hostile to us.
We entered the trade lane towards Raubling Station and Passau Outpost, both under Federalist control. Under heavy fire from both stations, we took the second trade lane leading to New Augsburg Outpost, under ALG control. This case is interesting, because the system is definitely filled with criminals and traitors, though New Augsburg Outpost seems to be doing fine. One can wonder if ALG has some sort of agreement with the Federalists, and if that is the case, the corporation's leadership will have to answer some questions.
Afterwards we went to see if anything was left around Planet Nuremberg, as almost everything in this side of the space is under the dark matter storm. Well not much to be seen there, the docking rings of Planet Nuremberg have not been dismantled; there is a Junker station right next to where the dark matter storm stops; and we confirmed the general location of the jump hole the Corsairs are using to enter the system.
We then turned around and took the direction of the late Augsburg Space Colony, to see if the Junkers did leave it or if they were resilient enough to sustain the dark matter storm.
On our way there I picked up something on scanner in the Alps Cloud, that seemed to be an anomaly, and well, no need to say that the image I got is just a miracle, as what was not an anomaly but rather a heavily defended station
We kept going to our initial destination, only to find that Augsburg Space Colony is now occupied by the Federalists. The navigation system update shows the station named as Fort Augburg now.
Having finished our job here, we split up at Planet Holstein. The two operatives took the route to CLASSIFIED and I went back to CLASSIFIED.
Departing from the Strausberg, CLASSIFIED alias CLASSIFIED, and myself, alias CLASSIFIED made our way into Thuringia via the Hamburg Jumphole. CLASSIFIED had previous knowledge of its location.
Once in the system, we almost immediately came across a Unioner. Upon investigation of where he came from, we also spotted a Unioner cruiser orbiting one of the planets. We choose not to engage the individual, as he instead provided us with some intelligence on where to best find Federalist activity. He pointed us in the direction of the large cloud in the system, and we thanked him for his service. We began by flying to the visible planets to see if there was any identifying markers into the cloud, in doing so we came across the Bayern standing guard near the Frankfurt jumphole.
We were unable to find a marked entrance into the cloud, so we tried our luck once more and flew in blind. Luckily, this paid off as it was not too deep into the cloud when we spotted what is most likely the Federalist headquarters. They already seem to have their own shipyard and supply station constructed in orbit. Unfortunately we could not stick around in the area as we had already alerted their response forces.
