With relations between the Büro and the Rheinwehr reaching unprecedented levels of cooperation, larger scale combined operations are becoming ever closer to reality. A lack of foreign house enemies and the situation on the Munich and Dresden fronts being more or less stable means that both services can delegate more attention to problems within Rheinland. While post-war clean-up and rebuilding efforts are best left to the corporations, there is one major asset which cannot be simply repaired back to regular use - Valhalla Shipyard.

Previous attempts by researchers and foolish treasure hunters to examine the station have all resulted in disappearances which did little to shine light on its status. MND containment patrols outlined reports of a regular hum of activity within the station, and light craft are still caught attempting to leave, though often without success. With large-scale life support sure to have failed at least years prior, it is clear that whatever is in control of the station will not simply go away given more time.

A joint taskforce has recently been considered by both commands, mainly for establishing the feasibility of a full-scale ground assault. A likely candidate to command such a venture has been stationed in the neighboring Hamburg system, the security of which seems all but assured at this time. Since the Libertonians are loath to offer him the action he would much prefer to guard duty, Flottenkapitan Klein has been hinting at his preference for a new assignment. The Oberkommando, seeing an opportunity to involve a decorated veteran with a venture some may not touch with a length of hull plating, are more than happy to oblige.

Naturally, the concentration of of any assault force cannot pass undetected, especially from entities possessing more than simple radio sensors. The Wild on Valhalla are not inclined to part with their well-positioned home, and would welcome the opportunity to add more ships and biomass to their growing arsenal. Of course, it would be difficult to resist a concentrated assault of a forewarned and a forearmed enemy without outside help and supplies. Therefore, as soon as the consciousness on Valhalla was convinced of the assault's inevitability, they called into the void... and were answered.
