Background
A Lane Hacker battleliner with Spyglass Network components and technicians going to separatist Marshall Base in Bering have encountered a particle storm while heading through Grande Negra and got severely damaged and left stranded at the edge of the cloud. The mission has the highest priority for the unlawful alliance as it would connect Separatist base with the Spyglass Network and give control over the trade lanes in Bering to it. Liberty Navy are already alerted of the unlawful presence in the system and are en route to intercept it, while Battlegroup Harmony and their Unioner allies are rallying forces to repair the liner and defend the shipment at all costs. While Lane Hackers call for their closest allies Liberty Rogues for help, high-tech components thought to be transported by Lane Hackers peaked the interest of the Bounty Hunters Guild which is also going to lurk around.

Event roleplay consequences

● The Separatists have fortified their stronghold in Bering and received both a long range scanning upgrades and stable connection with the unlawful network in Liberty .
● The alliance between Separatists, Unioners and Lane Hackers have been sealed and strengthened marking Liberty's fainting grip of the Bering system and growing presence of the Separatists in the southern Liberty.

Event Background
A recent well-publicised chemical attack on Alster Shipyard has left over three hundred Republican Shipping employees and federal rescue workers dead, in one of the most violent paramilitary actions of recent months. Whilst the attack was only marginally successful - Unioner vessels sent in to complicate the cleanup were intercepted in a phyrric battle with the joint military and military intelligence detachment sent to relieve the station, the militant Alster Union has claimed credit for the attack, keen to reassert itself in the public eye after a perceived loss of ground to its Red Hessian rivals following the battle of Dresden. The Unioners have gained significant notoriety from the raid, and appear to be revelling in the unusually brutal act of terror, claiming divine revenge against Republican Shipping, and, by extension, the government, for outlaw of Alster’s shipping unions many centuries past.

Whilst Republican shipping claims that the attack will not harm Alster’s output of fresh transports and utility vessels, the station is currently the site of an extensive cleanup operation. Republican Shipping has placed lucrative contracts to replace critical elements of the station’s life support systems. Indeed, there are some who believe that the insurance bailout has more than reimbursed Republican for any loss of revenue the attack incurred. With the Federal Government keen to keep its publicly owned shipping cooperation competitive, the Hamburg system has become a veritable centre of trade of vessels shipping in emergency supplies, and shipping out the contaminated remains of Alster’s life support units.

An unintended outcome of the newly bustling Hamburg tradelanes has been a proportional rise of pirate activity in the system; Unioner and independent pirate vessels taking advantage of Republican’s needfulness to make a cheap buck at the expense of the contracted shipping. The LWB, no fans of foreign trade themselves, have also pushed into the system, working alongside their Unioner and independent pirate allies to milk the trade-lane traffic. The federal forces of Rheinland, keen to re-assert themselves after the loss of Dresden, also stand to profit from the attack, viewing the Alster attack as a golden opportunity to reassert the public as to the solidity of Rheinland’s security situation, clamping down violently on unlawful operations throughout the Hamburg system in an attempt to win back hearts and minds.

Hamburg is becoming increasingly violent.


Event Description
Next week, starting from the 4th of September and lasting as long as the 10th, Alster Shipyard will be the target of a supply event.

There will be bonuses for the mentioned IDs for both kills and shipments.

As usual, we invite the official factions on either side to organize the participants via Skype and Discord as well as promote overall activity and presence during the event.

The event will either end on Sunday or when all shipments arrived.
