I come to you today to extend an olive branch on behalf of the Gas Miners Guild.
Despite our immediate ambitions differing somewhat, we do share two objectives in particular: overcoming our mutual adversaries in the Corsairs and Kruger Minerals. In order to achieve our common goals, it would appear pertinent for us to collaborate however and whenever possible.
The Guild would like to establish a positive working relationship with the Red Hessians, and believes the first step in doing so is to form a personal rapport between representatives where applicable. As Guildmaster, I would like to explore the possibility of our groups founding an agreement of sorts as a basis for further cooperation in the future.
It is a pleasure to hear the Hessians agree to negotiate with The Guild. I believe a good starting point to improving relationships between our organisations would be to enter into a non-aggression pact.
In addition, The Guild has an extensive transport fleet that can be utilised to assist the Army logistically in operations in areas such as against Kruger in Omega-7, or the Corsairs in wider Omegas, should you be suffering from a shortage of certain supplies GMG would be able to acquire in bulk.
Finally, should your ships acquire any valuable ores in your meetings with Kruger Minerals, GMG will purchase them in bulk for an on-the-spot payment. Iejima Station, located 10k in front of the Honshu gate in Sigma-19, currently offers the following:
Docking permissions have been recalibrated to accept all mooring requests from [RHA] ships.
Naturally, any cooperation between the Army and The Guild should be kept as covert as is possible, in order to ensure its longevity. I believe this proposal may be the start of a positive working relationship that will benefit both of our groups greatly.
Given your relationship with Kruger minerals I trust you've herd that Reutlingen Station, one of two major mining installations in Omega-7, has been destroyed. Kruger will soon be out of the question of "which corporate power will dominate Rhienland completely". With this, I don't need logistics on Kruger anymore however there is something else I need.
The Unioners have surfaced again, and I've received word they've been operating lightly in the sigmas. I also know the corsair presence in the sigma systems is high. If you could report to me every encounter with the Unioners, it would be much appreciated. Specifically any where they are present with the Corsairs.
As for the rest of your offer, the Armee accepts, we will deliver any supplies we obtain from Kruger that we can spare you in return for this.
Kruger Minerals would like nothing more than the destruction of the entire Gas Miners Guild. I imagine their own medicine tastes very bitter.
The Unioners are occasionally a thorn in The Guild's size, but their forays into the Sigma systems are fortunately rare. Any further encounters with this group shall be documented and forwarded to The Armee.
The Gas Miners Guild hopes this messages finds you well.
As you are no doubt aware, the Federal Republic of Rheinland has effected an illegal invasion of the Sigma Systems as of late. The Guild had, due to Rheinland's simultaneous conflict with the Restored Empire of Kusari, conducted a relatively successful defence of its space and prevented any meaningful beachhead from being established.
In a not unexpected turn of events, this war between the two Houses has now drawn to a conclusion and they have established a peace. House Rheinland's assault on The Guild, however, continues. Unfortunately, it would now appear the two are presenting a united front and engaging in a now joint invasion of, in particular, Sigma-21.
Initial surveys of this system have been conducted and it is expected to be of great commercial and strategic value. It also considered rightful Guild space and the sovereign territory of GMG.
Kusari and Rheinland have established a joint construction project in the system and clearly plan a forced landgrab of the system and all within. The Guild is working to dislodge this installation, but the combined defensive efforts of two Houses are proving too difficult. As a result, current projections indicate a defeat for the Gas Miners Guild paramilitary and an ongoing occupation by the Rheinland Military and Kusari Naval Forces, with the likes of Kruger Minerals and Samura Heavy Industries in tow.
The Guild seeks no favour from the Red Hessians and this message is sent without such intent. It is, though, recognised that should House Rheinland find itself in a position whereby it is able to freely exploit the resources of Sigma-21, it will without doubt witness an economical, and by extension, military renaissance - which is of direct concern to the Army. As such, please accept this update on the landscape of the Sigma Systems with the branch of friendship and use it as you may or may not see fit to arrange your own operations in your own corner of Sirius.
Deploying heavy Armor to the Sigma system(s) would break a few pacts we have set in place with other parties, most notably the Bundschuh. That being said the Bundschuh have been asleep for years, and this is something I've kept an eye on.
We have another problem though, deploying armor of the magnitude you require to dislodge that station would stretch our attack vector very thin. There is a possibility to dislodge it though, just through another party. I can give my respects, but how would you feel about communists knocking down the installation? Their motivation could be independent, and it would conceal and cooperation between both our parties.
Seems our little talk wasn't necessary after all, if you're interested in participating in the destruction of some more Federal property - including Unioner property. We would welcome your support. Such an operation could prove to be an olive branch in a potential new partnership. If you decide to get involved in any capacity, do notify me.
