[font=Verdana][color=#33CC00]SUBMITTER: [color=#FFCC00]Admiral Alec Voelkel, Rheinland Military. [color=#33CC00]RECIPIENT: [color=#FFCC00]All Rheinwehr forces. [color=#33CC00]SUBJECT: [color=#FFCC00]Updated Omega policies and regulation, including access to Omega-3.
[color=#FFCC00]
Soldaten,
Today, a list of new policies have been enacted and signed after a discussion between the RMHC and the Bretonian representatives, held on the Battleship Norfolk in the Cambridge system. In summary, the Omega-3 system is now to be scheduled for standard patrolling, and don't be surprised if you see Bretonian ships appearing in Omega-7 either.
This treaty is meant to enhance the security of the volatile Omega region, as neither of the two nations could pay proper attention to the area with our own wars to deal with. With the Corsairs and Red Hessians as dominant outlaw forces in the mentioned systems, both posing a sizable level of threat, the mining operations and the free trade between our nations has been under constant threat. See to it that this ceases, Soldaten.
Oh, and by the way. Do not enter Omega-3 without memorizing the treaty and acting accordingly. Most of it should be pretty much dependent on common sense, so there should be no difficulties with understanding.
