Ep. 24: Hässliche Entlein infiltrates Alliance space to seize the Seffle generator prototype from Herxheimer's vessel.

24

The cruiser Hässliche Entlein passes through the Iserlohn Corridor undetected and reaches the Fezzan Corridor exit. It intercepts Count Herxheimer's ship, prompting Reinhard von Müsel to order a rapid strike that disables the target and eliminates its escorts. Siegfried Kircheis commands a boarding party to secure the directional Seffle particle generator prototype. Inside the Herxheimer vessel, the crew discovers that the entire family perished in a decompression accident during their escape attempt, with the sole exception of the Count's daughter. Following the successful acquisition of the technology, Reinhard commands both the Hässliche Entlein and the captured ship to withdraw immediately. This retreat is necessary to avoid detection by an incoming Alliance patrol squadron, which was alerted to their presence by the destruction of the escort vessels.
