THE ALSTER DISUNION
Rheinland Event

---

Event Background
A recent well-publicised chemical attack on Alster Shipyard has left over three hundred Republican Shipping employees and federal rescue workers dead, in one of the most violent paramilitary actions of recent months. Whilst the attack was only marginally successful - Unioner vessels sent in to complicate the cleanup were intercepted in a phyrric battle with the joint military and military intelligence detachment sent to relieve the station, the militant Alster Union has claimed credit for the attack, keen to reassert itself in the public eye after a perceived loss of ground to its Red Hessian rivals following the battle of Dresden. The Unioners have gained significant notoriety from the raid, and appear to be revelling in the unusually brutal act of terror, claiming divine revenge against Republican Shipping, and, by extension, the government, for outlaw of Alster’s shipping unions many centuries past.

Whilst Republican shipping claims that the attack will not harm Alster’s output of fresh transports and utility vessels, the station is currently the site of an extensive cleanup operation. Republican Shipping has placed lucrative contracts to replace critical elements of the station’s life support systems. Indeed, there are some who believe that the insurance bailout has more than reimbursed Republican for any loss of revenue the attack incurred. With the Federal Government keen to keep its publicly owned shipping cooperation competitive, the Hamburg system has become a veritable centre of trade of vessels shipping in emergency supplies, and shipping out the contaminated remains of Alster’s life support units.

An unintended outcome of the newly bustling Hamburg tradelanes has been a proportional rise of pirate activity in the system; Unioner and independent pirate vessels taking advantage of Republican’s needfulness to make a cheap buck at the expense of the contracted shipping. The LWB, no fans of foreign trade themselves, have also pushed into the system, working alongside their Unioner and independent pirate allies to milk the trade-lane traffic. The federal forces of Rheinland, keen to re-assert themselves after the loss of Dresden, also stand to profit from the attack, viewing the Alster attack as a golden opportunity to reassert the public as to the solidity of Rheinland’s security situation, clamping down violently on unlawful operations throughout the Hamburg system in an attempt to win back hearts and minds.

Hamburg is becoming increasingly violent.
