To all personnel,

With the uptick in trade activity within the Sigmas has come a surge of smugglers seeking to exploit these opportunities.

Patrols across our glorious House have reported increasing numbers of vessels utilizing illegal smuggling routes and violating military quarantine zones. Many vessels caught engaging in these activities are found to be carrying armaments bound from Liberty. Most concerningly they are often civilian in nature. Despite this and their nationality, you are to do your utmost to stop, search, and question these vessels. Punishment should be meted out by the ranking officer on the scene or passed on to Federal Police officials wherever possible. While lethal force is always authorized, it is to be used sparingly. Only vessels confirmed to be collaborating with criminal elements, trespassing in secure areas, firing on civilian, military, or law enforcement vessels, and those attempting to flee may be killed.

Your commanding officer will brief you with updated patrol routes and unit allocations. This problem must be dealt with in good measure. The Kaiser is watching, and we must uphold the sanctity of him and of Rheinland. There can be no failure.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,

Our patrols report an outstanding issue I am transmitting on behalf of the fleet,

Imperial Shipping vessels have reported being subjected to stop-and-search operations within Sigma-13 by Kusari Naval warships. An investigating reconnaissance patrol has indicated that at least one destroyer is blocking the Frankfurt jump gate within Sigma-13. Reports suggest they refused to wave off and as of now are seemingly unimpeded by the Gas Miners Guild. The responding patrol was met with veiled threats to leave the system and notice that they would continue with these inspections regardless.

We are advising that we be given immediate permission to force their withdrawal or petition the Kusari government to stop these operations immediately. I report on behalf of Konteradmiral Richter that he has directed ships to be ready to cross the gate immediately. Konteradmiral Richter has also requested in the absence of the prior two actions to be given precise directives on how to respond to the matter.

Please transmit a response urgently.

Oberkommando,

The Bretonian Navy was in desperate need of reinforcements, following the invasion of a large Hessian force into Omega 3. I had rallied our battlegruppe stationed in Omega 7. I found their close proximity and experience in Dublin useful for this operation. Our battlegruppe went en route to aid in the defense of the Aland Monument.

We twarthed the Hessian terrorists twice before. However, it seems IMG forces are now aiding them in their siege. We did what we could to help our Bretonian kollegen. However we had to retreat after receiving overwhelming firepower. More damage was done to the station before the enemy fleet retreated, but still standing, for now. Footage can be found below.

Ships involved in the Battlegruppe:

- [RM]KKS-Kaiser - Bismarck
- [RM]KKS-Kaiser.Pausbeck - Tirpitz
- RM-JasonRedBloom - Bismarck
- [RM]Rot-1 - Revenant
- [RM]Ge-Iris.Edelhexe - Revenant

Report as follows:

Fought enemy to best of ability, expected Bretonian reinforcements did not materialize. Large-scale attacks by Coalition, IMG, and Hessian forces. Bretonian command ships struck hard. Assumed temporary command, held off enemy briefly, formation broke in next attack. Heavy casualties among Bretonian and corporate security forces.

Station has been destroyed by enemy forces. Bretonian forces in complete disarray, have lost contact with command elements. Unsure of status of liaison officer or remaining major Bretonian elements.

Guten Tag Oberkommando,

I guess i have been settled in with the Order. While i'm still getting surprised looks when walking around in a Rheinlander uniform amongst them, they seem to accept my presence. I even made some new friends amongst Eddy's group.

Now the reason i'm sending: Rumor has it that relations between the Order and the Corsairs have been going south. I'm not aware of too many details but i can say this: The Corsairs and the Hogosha have been caught toghether smuggling large amounts of Nomad Artifacts towards Kabukicho Depot for unknown reasons. The Order and several other factions have found this out and a big fight ensued with the Corsairs and Order on opposite sides. How far the Kusari authorities are aware of this smuggling is unknown.

It ain't much, but in any case i'll leave this information into your hands.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Guten tag.

On my patrol, I came across a strange emergene. Apparently affiliated with BMM, he goes by the name ALG. I told him what to do to rectify his allegiance.

Spoiler

Later, I came across a really big ship and escorted it to its destination. You never know what dangers might lurk in such a vulnerable vessel!

But a few minutes later I saw some annoying advertising on our channels! I don't know if this person is allowed to run ads, here's the message attached.

Guten Tag Offiziere.

Last week, two events of significance occurred that I have only recently had time to outline.

The first concerns yet another raid on Hammersee by a Corsair battlegroup.
I heeded the early warning by the intelligence apparatus, and proceeded to make a circuit of the system's assets. By the time I returned to our rallying point near Hammersee, Kapitän zur See Holzner was on scene, directing the arriving forces. I fell in with a wing of MND snubcraft, clearing them to call targets. I agreed to follow the lead of one of their hardened veteranen in BDM|Inferno, which proved to be an excellent decision.

In due time, the Imperio made their appearance, with their customary comm chatter preceding their vessels. While we were outnumbered by weight, the enemy could not match our lighter craft, which was immediately noted by me and other members of our wing. The Kapitän ordered a standard approach, with vessels fanning out from the Kaiser in regular formation. At the time of engagement, our battle group numbered five heavy battleships, four light battleships, and five snubcraft. The enemy possessed at least six heavy and five light battleships, along with two or three snubcraft - I do not recall their precise numbers.

The Corsairs hit us hard, immediately going on the offensive. My wing weaved through the middle of their flotte, hunting down limping targets and disabling two, one after another. After this, the battle lost all fleet cohesion, with as much as 8K separating various fighting clusters. I vividly recall Kapitän Holzner marveling at the aggressive abuse of the shield generators by the Corsairs, all the while the Kaiser performed a slow retreat in the face of overwhelming force. After firing off my heavy ordnance to assist with disabling additional cruisers, I broke off to resupply. After returning, the fight was all but over, with the Corsairs in disarray.
Our superior tactics and light craft advantage have once again secured victory, despite damage to the Kaiser and the losses of both Inferno and a Kruger security fighter. Thankfully, both piloten survived, while personnel casualties were relatively low on the Kaiser based on my inquiries.

The second event occured early the next day. The ready team received a last-minute warning about a VIP coming aboard one of the restricted liners for its shakedown cruise. While an escort was provided, all piloten were urged to offer assistance if it was necessary. In a rare moment between paperwork, I responded to the call, alongside none other than Kapitän zur See Holzner on the Miltenberg, and Inspektorin Wolf in a snubcraft. As my revenant was undergoing maintenance, I elected to fly out on a disir, a fact which will become important shortly.

The convoy began in Stuttgart with little issues. There was a minor falten when a Golden Chrysanthemum pilot jumped through after the complete set of escorts. After multiple warning by myself and the Inspektorin, the pilot was persuaded to return through the jump gate.

The convoy proceeded in good order after a brief set of introductions, with me scouting ahead and the Inspektorin staying with the main force. I passed the Miltenberg on the approach to the New Berlin gate, which elected to join the bulk of the convoy. I entered standard escort scouting formation, always staying a lane ahead of the convoy. Due to a minor miscommunication, I chose the longer route around New Berlin, and was forced to double back to link up with the convoy, which delayed in good order to retain the same tactical structure.

However, these precautions were not enough. I distinctly recall detecting three Hessian vessels as I approached the Hamburg gate, and immediately raising the alarm over our secure comms. Despite this, the convoy's flagship, the Karuizawa, fatally delayed its exit from the lane sequence. The Hessians, two blackmarket cruisers and a coalition-made battlecruiser, immediately pounced on its prey. With little time to react, the rest of the convoy piled in behind. The dispostion were as follows on our side: the Karuizawa, a battlecruiser-equivalent, but with seemingly untrained crew, The Queen Britania, a standard passenger liner, the Miltenberg, and four snubcraft.

Any decision regarding engagement was taken out of our hands by the Hessians, one of whom ordered the rest to open fire on Rheinland forces. At the same time, the Karuizawa ordered to convoy to stay put and not to fire unless directly attacked. The three of us focused our fire on a single cruiser, which immediately began evasive maneuvers while returning fire. In tandem with its partner, it was difficult to engage effectively, though we managed to drive both away from the gate. At this point, the convoy made the decision to proceed on through, but were immediately followed by the battlecruiser.

The hessians decided to split up further, with one tracking down the heavily damaged Miltenberg, as the other prepared to support its leader in Hamburg. Kapitän Holzner made the call to send us both through, as he attempted to pin the remaining cruiser with the Miltenberg to give us a fighting chance. On the other side of the gate, the Karuizawa finally grew a spine, and ordered the convoy to return fire. However, this decision was very short-lived. In what seemed to be mere moments, the order was given to stay down.

I continued to engage the cruiser with the help of the Direktorin, but when I detected its partner approaching on scanners, I knew all was lost. Without the assistance from the convoy escorts, even a single cruiser was more than a match for our firepower. Fortunately, the convoy was let off with a substantial fine only, and seeing no more reason to risk ourselves, I recommended to the Direktorin that we disengage.

Overall, I was impressed by the discipline of the OS&C security, and equally disappointed by the decision making of their flagship's crews and what I presume were the executives on board. From my understanding, the Miltenberg made it back to Essen without further issues, as the Hessians were too pre-occupied to properly finish the job. The communications log for the conoy's duration is attached below, and I am available for debriefing outside of those hours I must dedicate to the Grossadmiral.

► Subject: Ready Alert Notice/Reinforcement Request

My headquarters has been made aware of reports by frontline forces of renewed intensity to engagement with major Corsair forces in the Northern Fleet's Lüneburg operational zone. Enemy force strength is currently being analyzed by our headquarters intelligence staff.

As the situation is assessed further, I have ordered major combat elements in the Lüneburg area to be moved to one-hour-ready alert notice. I have already coordinated with the Schwerin's battlegroup to take similar action. Limited force strength, particularly in the Lüneburg area, is however constraining our operational effectiveness dramatically. I hereby request an additional squadron be released to bolster our forces in this area.

The incident wherein a Corsair battlegroup, including one major capital ship, was allowed to break through our lines unhindered due to poor readiness, remains fresh in the minds of the rest of the Northern Fleet command staff. We remind the Oberkommando that this force remains unaccounted for, and to prevent further disaster, this request must be met with extreme urgency.

While Kampfgruppe Kaiser operates in the area now, the constraints of this force must be made clear, as it was never intended to operate on a theatre level in the capacity it is now.

I await word on the matter on the morrow.

► Subject: Enemy Withdrawal: Frankfurt

Our enemies have proven more desperate than initially anticipated.

A Corsair battlegroup, seemingly originating from Dresden, broke out into Frankfurt via the jump hole network, rushing past our hurriedly organized forces. A loose amalgamation of Hessian, Bundschuh, and Coalition forces trailed behind, avoiding engagement with our forces. I personally ordered a continued pursuit into Lüneburg and through the deeper Sigmas, with advance forces losing track after their withdrawal from the Crow Nebula.

Nonetheless, the forward elements in pursuit have reported heavy damage inflicted on the enemy flagship. The stain on the honour of the fleet has been abolished, and a temporary reprieve from Corsair attacks on our northern front should be expected.

Nonetheless, this Corsair battlegroup did indeed withdraw from Dresden, which seems likely, the reduction in pressure will likely see renewed attacks by Hessian irregular forces on our forces. With the Dresden blockade currently holding fast, attacks originating from jump holes, many of which we do not know the locations of, will gradually become a wider issue. And while weakened, we cannot fully discount the Corsair presence still remaining on our northern flank. I maintain my request for reinforcement, and it must be abundantly made clear to the Reichstag that military security and economic security go hand in hand. I have further proposals to rectify the military situation we face, soon to be forwarded.

A standard patrol initiated from Frankfurt at 10:00 SMT. No activities were reported from local traffic, all reported nominal. Upon reaching my second mandated border patrol in Sigma-15, I have come across an interesting revelation of varying parties near the Lanes on the way to the Freeport.

>>UPLOADING IMAGE FILES

It appears I had accidentally stumbled onto some conspirators meetup. As soon as I had arrived, the present vessels had all initiated cloaking devices and scrambled. Attempting to persue them, my Banshee could not outpace their cruise engines. I had failed to find them in the nebula. Straying far off from the initial course without appropriate wingmen, I swiftly returned back to the standard patrol route and finished the assigned patrol back to Frankfurt. No other incidents were recorded. It may be worth keeping a closer tabs in the area incase of anymore unwanted 'guests' plotting in our fatherland.
