Sir, I encountered two unknown ships in the Munich system after receiving a communication from a Republican Shipping transport and investigated the contacts.
Orbiting Nuremburg, I encountered the two fighters who stated they were a member of a group named 'Medaillon,' from the newly opened space leading to Gallia. They said they were hunting down pirates and here to protect, civilians. A welcome sort of newcomers but I still wanted to bring this to your attention. Over the last few months I can understand Rheinland's necessity to understand who these visitors are. They seemed friendly enough, but is this to gain access to critical areas before striking or are they here as potential allies? I simply do not know but I will keep you informed if anything awry happens.
In addition, we have already sent Captain Marshal into Gallia space nearly two weeks ago and have not heard back from him yet. I hope when he returns he can shed a bit more light on this that I can.
