Guten tag, herr Golanski. I'm Gotthold Ludewig, official representative of Red Hessian Army Oberkommando. Oberkommando is indeed interested in intel on machines, known as "Sentinels". It looks right to remove minor threats before main one.
So... we are ready to receive information about them aswell as their main base location.
The Order encountered, studied and decomissioned a lot of AI units over the years. Sentinels are not much different than templates we know about. They are extremely hostile Von Neumann class devices, capable of mantaining and co-ordinating raider groups rather than send out individual drones. Their technology is limited and largely incompatible with Terran designs, depending mainly on their two primary vessels we named and classified as following:
Harvester - Super Heavy Fighter equivalent. High durability, unique weapon systems.
Berserker - Cruiser equivalent. AI rely on reverse engineering civilian grade weaponry for this class.
Their known sphere of influence is projected over galactic south of Omicron cluster, mainly Corsair territory or immediately bordering such. Star system of Omicron Kappa is believed to be their main base of operations, where Sentinels are locked in civil war against other subset of AI known as Consensus. If you intend to bring war to them, I advise you to not engage Consensus vessels - internal strife and another side of conflict fighting Sentinels on the same level of technology is desireable in our strategies for this part of Sirius.
AI Consensus supplied us with some degree of information, however discovered to be partially true. Sentinels were told to posses ability to infest other hardware capable of hosting them remotely. Considering Sirian level of technology and standards so far, it is impossible for this menace to spread. Human made AI like common service drones or advanced targetting systems are largely incompatible or unable to house fully antonomous AI that Sentinels are. I merely advise you to upgrade your firewalls to avoid unpleasant event of some secondary systems being put off-line temporarily.
Additionally, diplomacy-wise Sentinels are hostile to The Order and Nomads (nothing remarkable, given Nomads are at war with almost everyone). We had major skirmishes against Berserker-class drones in Omicron Theta and deeper into Nomad infested space. It is known that Corsair Brotherhood will protect AI Sentinels no matter the cost. Crete's Elders are willing to endanger their own blood and well-being to honor their agreements with this menace. Even to brink of war with until now neutral or friendly organisations.
I am also happy to announce that The Order forces managed to destroy Sentinel outpost this morning in star system of Omicron Lambda, Corsair core world. Said outpost orbited Marratxi, radio-active remnant of burned out star that got caught by Lambda's gravitational well. While our intelligence believes it was Sentinel's sole outpost in the system, we must remain vigilant and continue recon sorties to Corsair worlds - to which I invite Red Hessian Army to participate.
Tag again, herr Golanski. We thank you for your intel. Our best scientists have already begun working on ways to counter that new threats, including firewalls and improved EMP cannons. We also congratulating you with destruction of their base.
You also must understand, that main hessian efforts within Omicrons are concentrated around Theta and Gamma - corsairs doorway and heart. Yet, some of our Spezialoperationsabteilung agents may accompany you on deep reconnaissance missions, sometimes information can be more powerful weapon than Ragnarok integrated cannon.
