Jumpgate to Leeds scouted
As per orders I took a quick scouting flight out to the Royal Navy reactivated jumpgate to Leeds in New London. I took some basic scans and lingered a few minutes to scan for routine patrols. I found that the gate no longer has any working turrets and there are no fixed defensive objects deployed anywhere nearby at this time. The closest Gallic Navy positions are at the Southampton wreck junction. Should we wish to proceed with attacking this gate, we should find only light resistance at best. So far this is the most vulnerable of any potential target sites. We should have reasonably safe conditions for the next little while at least. I advise that we proceed asap. I'm hiding nearby in enemy territory, but can have "eyes on" the objective within minutes if ordered.

Meeting Union concerning operation Rheinland
Good day, command!
I met the Union captain Valerie today in the Bering system near the Pacifica base. i had a talk with her about our planned Rheinland government reform. She said, she will pass it to a certain UN member who knows what to do with our offer. I personally think the Unioners will support our plans.

[04.03.2019 10:21:24] Eisfaust: Hanna: Now, you and your people, what form of government are you trying to establish?
[04.03.2019 10:21:31] UN|Barbarossa: "Neoliberal spineless corpocrats the government is"
[04.03.2019 10:22:10] Eisfaust: Hanna: Are you supporting conservative mindset?
[04.03.2019 10:22:14] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "In Rheinland? Broadly democratic syndaclist, or democratic socialist. Higher wages, trade unions, worker's rights."
[04.03.2019 10:22:25] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "That was the old Unioners, things changed."
[04.03.2019 10:22:49] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "But ya, we were once nationalist syndacalists, long story. Gunny would know more."
[04.03.2019 10:23:13] Eisfaust: Hanna: Hmm but wouldn't a Monarch be good for Rheinland?
[04.03.2019 10:23:15] UN|Barbarossa: // Syndicalist*
[04.03.2019 10:24:40] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "As long as that Monarch is just a figurehead of unity and allows for a constitutional monarchy"
[04.03.2019 10:25:09] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "But the royal family aint to be trusted, believe me, I'm nobility."
[04.03.2019 10:25:58] Eisfaust: Hanna: A monarch could care about these corrupt systems in Rheinland, we Bretonians get to know the sideeffects
[04.03.2019 10:26:26] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Every man is a king."
[04.03.2019 10:26:48] Eisfaust: Hanna: Interesting opinion....
[04.03.2019 10:26:59] Eisfaust: Hanna: You know the von Albrechts?
[04.03.2019 10:27:59] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "A little, remind me."
[04.03.2019 10:28:33] Eisfaust: Hanna: A royal Rheinland family, they had much power back before von Rohe's day, they and the von Thielaus
[04.03.2019 10:28:56] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Right, my mother mentioned them as traitors."
[04.03.2019 10:29:18] Eisfaust: Hanna: *shooks her head* They were no traitors to Rheinland
[04.03.2019 10:29:37] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Did I say I believed my mother? Nein."
[04.03.2019 10:29:53] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "But ya, go on."
[04.03.2019 10:30:17] Eisfaust: Hanna: Well, one of them is studying on Cambridge at the moment
[04.03.2019 10:30:51] Eisfaust: Hanna: He is doing well, I remember a BDM Kommissaroberrat visited him a week or two ago
[04.03.2019 10:31:46] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Okey..."
[04.03.2019 10:32:09] Eisfaust: Hanna: Things seem to change in Rheinland, Kapitaen Val, I see more and more people being frustrated by the Government
[04.03.2019 10:32:34] Eisfaust: Hanna: We need to change something
[04.03.2019 10:33:12] Eisfaust: Hanna: Rheinland and Bretonia have been friendly for a while, so we want to help
[04.03.2019 10:34:08] Eisfaust: Hanna: We could reform the Government, with the help of the old nobility, like you, the von Albrechts, the von Thielaus and so-
[04.03.2019 10:34:10] Eisfaust: - on.
[04.03.2019 10:35:12] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "And this has nothing to do with the fact our neoliberal government is helping the frogs?"
[04.03.2019 10:35:37] UN|Barbarossa: **Val does a small knowing smile**
[04.03.2019 10:36:22] Eisfaust: Hanna: Uff *starts laughing* Well, no.
[04.03.2019 10:36:27] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Unioners are the most powerful unlawfuls in Rheinland, save for the Hessians. Revolution is tempting, heck I pray for it.
[04.03.2019 10:37:13] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Look I came from old nobility, the Depperschimdts"
[04.03.2019 10:37:47] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Trusting them isn't high on my list, but a lot of the Unioners pine for the good old days of nice Emperors and empresses.
[04.03.2019 10:38:05] Eisfaust: Hanna: So we do too
[04.03.2019 10:38:07] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "I can't agree to anything officially."
[04.03.2019 10:38:17] Eisfaust: Hanna: Nah, not now.
[04.03.2019 10:38:32] Eisfaust: Hanna: But please think about this
[04.03.2019 10:39:05] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "But I can contact frei."
[04.03.2019 10:39:20] Eisfaust: Hanna: That would be great
[04.03.2019 10:39:32] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "He'll know what to do with your offer, at least pass this on to someone official instead of just, me..."
[04.03.2019 10:39:44] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "I just lead the science division
[04.03.2019 10:39:58] Eisfaust: Hanna: Would you contact me, if you have an answer of these officials?
[04.03.2019 10:40:32] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Frei will probably contact someone in your group, your not the first spook to make offers like this."
[04.03.2019 10:41:03] Eisfaust: Hanna: I'm not? *smiles* Seems to be important then, eh?
[04.03.2019 10:41:51] Eisfaust: Hanna: But, I'm the SIS' contact to the Unionisten at the moment
[04.03.2019 10:42:00] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Unionisten?"
[04.03.2019 10:42:10] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Just use the Union."
[04.03.2019 10:42:16] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Nobody calls it that."
[04.03.2019 10:42:25] Eisfaust: Hanna: My apologizes
[04.03.2019 10:42:47] UN|Barbarossa: // woops
[04.03.2019 10:43:04] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "At this point you can probably find out who I am."
[04.03.2019 10:43:27] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "So, I am Doktor Valentina Margarethe Angelika Katrin Depperschmidt the third."
[04.03.2019 10:44:35] Eisfaust: Hanna: Has been a pleasure to meet you, Frau Dr. Valentina Depperschmidt *smiles* I think I need to fly the way back -
[04.03.2019 10:44:45] Eisfaust: - now, it will take some time.
[04.03.2019 10:44:53] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Good Luck with that."
[04.03.2019 10:45:30] Eisfaust: Hanna: I'll inform the director about our nice talk here, I hope I'm hearing from the Union soon. *smiles*
[04.03.2019 10:45:41] UN|Barbarossa: Val: "Ya, I hope so as well."
[04.03.2019 10:46:12] Eisfaust: Hanna: For sure *waves* Good bye, Valentina!

Sender: Agent Alex Clyde. Subject: IMG facilities in Bretonia Space. Encryption: Secured.
Message:
As requested by the officials, i've made a patrol recently to check the current situation of IMG facilities inside the Bretonian sovereign space.
It may be possible that some bases still yet to be spotted, as Bretonia has a high presence of stations, some request to BPA to make an exhaustive checklist of them would make things easier, but these ones are the most important to be concerned about right now.
First engagement between IMG and BAF forces occurred today at Aland Shipyard. ALG Battlecruiser Erdbeben fired on BAF forces in this engagement. Corsair presence was incidental and not indicative of an alliance between IMG and the Corsairs.
I have scouted out the South Shields Refinery, a local headquarters for the traitorous Independent Miners Guild in Newcastle. Specs of the base can be located in the attachments, and I can personally say that they are not entirely prepared for a full-blown siege. However, it will take a few days for the Ark Royal to mobilize, giving these disloyal scumbags time to call in reinforcements from Tau-31.
I suggest that we get the fleet in Newcastle prepared for assault, as it's likely that the IMG will call upon their new Gallic friends to fight on their behalf as well. That is all.

Council Base Egilsay Prison Destroyed:
Some Council forces had recently constructed a Prison Base adjacent to the Battleship DeGrasse in the Orkney System, and I had been in the area in pursuit of Gallic trade vessels, when the facility came under directy attack by MRG and Gallic Royal Police (MdG) forces. Unforunately, the base was unshielded and a full onslaught by several Gallic capital vessels quickly reduced the base to wreckage. However, many friendly forces came to deter the Gauls as much as possible. I sent out a call for help on their behalf (Link) I have continued to periodically patrol the area.
Follow up: I recently spotted another base out by the asteroid field north of the DeGrasse, any agents available should scout the area again when possible.
Deal concluded with Unioners:
An accord has been reached with the Unioners. Our vessels are treat their vessels as lawful traders in Bretonian space, they in turn have agreed to cease attacking Bretonian commerce.
I've noticed a new scanner in use, the Minified Spyglass Scanner, that is of Lane Hacker Origin. Apparently its an alternate version of their Spyglass Network Scanner and operates very much the same. I contacted them to try and get clearance to go seek out some of these devices that have augmented cargo scanning range. They were open to selling us some of the devices, but pointed out that we could find them now on the 'grey' market or black market basically. They were less receptive to allowing us access to any of their hideouts or allowing us to utilize their systems to fight Gallia. If any of our agents wish to procure one of these scanners, forward me the 250 milion credits, and I'll cover any additional costs. They have assured us quality equipment, but it may be a ploy for credits. I've secured one of the devices on my own first. But this could work out for us in the long run. Contact me directly if interested, I'll have to notify them about our intent soon. (Link to comms)
Core Extends offer of Assistance:
Nathan Archos, Supreme Guildkeeper of The Core, has contacted us offering their sympathies and assistance against IMG aggression. Expect a possible joint operation and I advise our agents to be open to cooperation with them when operating in the Omegas and Omicrons.
Been a while since I checked in here, and this is as good time as any. After I returned to active duty, I briefly travelled to New Holland to help repel a Corsair invasion. But ever since BAF deployed the Norfolk Battlegroup in Omega-3, I assisted their pilots in operations against the IMG. I'll give you a rundown of my experiences.
The miners give fierce resistance and use every advantage. The majority of their heavy ships remain in the opening around Aland, waiting for our capital vessels to approach through the asteroid field. While in the asteroid field, our heavy ships are engaged by Hessian and IMG bombers.
The inside opening is protected by weapon platforms and heavy vessels. Although our fighters can engage bogeys on their turf, it can get dicey. The miners and Hessians don't try to break the blockade, instead attempting to draw us to Aland where they have a natural advantage, given their experience in asteroid field combat.
I'd share the strategy employed by the BAF to counter these moves, but it's more appropriate for a briefing than for this channel. Instead, I'll just forward a few guncams from the site that I've accumulated over a couple of days.
After finalizing the requirements for the [SIS]-HMS-Trentham I began moving High Security prisoners from Planet Sydney to BPA Newgate for booking. After the first successful trip I encountered the QC|"Valladolid" in high orbit of Planet Sydney. QC|"Valladolid" is a "Sarissa" class Outcast Battleship, upon questioning he claimed to be part of a new Outcast Intelligence organization I assume a splinter from the Amalfi Directorate. When this fact came to light I realized I may be in over my head at which point I called for backup from the [SIS]-HMS-New.Zealand who was able to quickly make it on scene. Upon their arrival I managed to slip away from the situation and bring the prisoners safely back to Sydney where I got into a combat vessel and quickly made my way back. When I returned I found the Captain of the New Zealand attempting to defuse the situation and eventually managing to get the proper fines from the captain as well as his cooperation in leaving the system which he chose to leave via Omega-47 claiming to "Be in search of Corsairs".
