The "Extended Logistics Division" is a specialized support wing of the Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts (BDM) tasked with providing logistical support where conventional supply lines are prohibitively dangerous or costly.

Origins: Rheinland Liberty War Era
Founded in the early days of the Rheinland-Liberty War, the Extended Logistics Division often deployed alongside the U-Korps deep into Liberty space, keeping U-Korps divisions supplied and hauling confiscated goods back to Rheinland for processing. On the conclusion of the war with Liberty, the Extended Logistics Division branched into Economic Warfare initiatives, discreetly providing supplies to disruptive elements in adversary houses, maintaining MND safe houses and operational centers hidden Sirius wide, and forcibly reappropriating goods from enemy traders.

The (New) Berlin Airlift, and the Rheinland Civil War
During the onset of the Rheinland Imperial Coup, the Extended Logistics Division greatly expanded into the logistical support wing of the Federalist Government in Thuringia. In the initial days of coup, Logistics and its associated security divisions secured and relocated much of the MND and Federal Government aligned assets on New Berlin and Frankfurt to Thuringia. Division 3 "Trager's Tragers" earned the first ever unit citation for meritorious service by a hazardous waste pickup detail in what is now called "the New Berlin Airlift," wherein Division 3 heavy container transports broke the still-organizing Imperial blockade to smuggle much of the Rheinland Federal Senate and Ministry offworld. Such stories are not uncommon amongst the over 30 other divisions which engaged in similar acts of heroism, to much sacrifice and loss. With a half-joking moniker of 'Federal Express,' the Extended Logistics Division supplied much needed munitions and goods to Federalist forces, while coordinating relief supplies and trade from other houses and corporations. Towards the end of the war, the scale of shipping was such that the Extended Logistics Division was almost entirely self-sufficient.

Post Reunificiation, Cologne Reclamation
After the conclusion of the Imperial Coup and the subsequent Civil War, the BDM has maintained the scale of Logistical capacity as a precaution against the potential for another hostile envelopment - as well as to supply the ever growing needs of Thuringia. During the joint Rheinland Military and MND initiative to reclaim Cologne and reestablish border security, Extended Logistics coordinated supply lines with mixed fleets of Rheinland Military and MND vessels - as well as facilitating the movement of ground troops and vehicles for boarding actions and planetary engagements.

Present Day
Extended Logistics continues to operate as the main supply chain of the MND, servicing outposts and long range missions throughout the Sirius sector. Many vessels can be seen quietly passing through border checkpoints in Hamburg and Frankfurt, heading to far out forward operational facilities in the various Border Worlds, and the Omicrons. Rumors are also abound that ships full of weapons and supplies make their way to various less than legal organizations that conveniently happen to seek the destabilization of rival houses and bleed the Corsairs. Though the true scale of operations is unknown to anyone but the Direktor, Buro Logistical vessels can sometimes be seen through every corner of Sirius - oftentimes claiming only to be but ordinary tourists.

The "Extended Logistics Division" is to covertly relay surplus military supplies to the Bretonian Separatist forces in Dublin, known also as the "Mollys."
