Mission Statement:
Ensuring Rheinland's supremacy in ongoing military operations and future conflicts. Reinforcing defences of the Westerwald security perimeter. Adapting war vessels towards new combat situations. Developing war vessels and weaponry of the next generation.
History:
Constructed early 825 A.S., in a prompt reaction to the Sigma-conflict, Rheinwehr and Marinenachrichtendienst deemed it necessary to prepare Schatten for the upcoming Sigma-invasion and the enlargement of projects within the facility, due to the transfer of most assets aboard Munster Research Facility, as the Westerwald is offering a strategic advantageous location - close to the front, with access to Mainz' storage and Mannheim's DT-Fuel supplies.
The AESIR facility itself is equipped with a wide range of automated machinery within a zero gravity environment, increasing productivity without requiring too many workers and necessary life-support systems. This compact but advanced production areal is extending the already gigantic Westerwald complex with three additional drydocks for mid-sized war vessels, allowing their manufacture and maintenance at faster rates and higher level of secrecy than at any other shipyard in Rheinland. It provides Rheinwehr and MND the opportunity to customize ships for specific missions, while all the necessary research is being conducted at Schatten's laboratories - be it an engine upgrade from H-Fuel to DT-Fuel; the installation of electronic warfare devices or additional docking bays on war ships.
Since then, Rheinwehr and MND have increased their presence within the Westerwald and are also jamming all non-military frequencies in a 30-K radius around Schatten, as response to the past attacks on the station, to suppress any further attempt of a coordinated assault within this area.
Confiscated materials with scientific value or materials obtained by Omicron expeditions, are generally to be stored here for later analysis at the Schatten laboratories. Contraband and confiscated goods are being kept as evidence. These goods go either to incineration sites for disposal or to approved private research sites.

Logistik-7
Description:
With the rising costs of research projects and the constant looming threat of further budget cuts in the Buro's disposal, multiple methods of generating a unrecorded flow of funds were put into place, that being from fines, confiscated assets and other questionable means. One of them would bring into question how the Buro could support their less-than-legal friends that they had in contact and how they could supplement their efforts indirectly while gaining monetary assets in the process.
Logistik - 7 was established at 822A.S. and is the main front for supplying groups approved solely by the Bruo, some are even rumoured to be criminal elements. Originaly established on Munster due to its isolated location, they were reloacted once more assets were being returned to Schatten and the newly built ASEIR facility. Manned by experienced and loyal field agents rather than regular logistic personnel, these teams work to stockpile materials and equipment ready for export, but their skill and training ensures that this division is kept secret and only a mere front with the image of regular supply work being maintained. With highly advanced technologies and weapons manufactured and built on board the ASEIR facility, the income potential is highly lucrative with demand from those who seek to gain the key advantage by any means. Mostly flying in regular logistic transports or covertly under the guise of the civilian population; they are able to supply anyone, anywhere, with anything.
To ensure the level of secrecy that Logistik-7 maintains, first contact is sent by the department to the customers that they wish to do business with, and never the other way around.
