Fighting in Sigma-21 continues, however, recent confrontations with the Rheinland Military have suddenly abated. It is public knowledge that the supposed former Federal Republic of Rheinland has turned in on itself in civil war and this is confirmed by ALG in their correspondence to The Guild on neural net page 178633. Perhaps this is the reason for reduced Rheinland activity in the Sigma Systems - they face larger problems at home.
This presents an opportunity to further solidify The Guild's grip on the system, and Mekong Station, constructed in orbit of Planet Saigon, is undergoing its next stage of fortification. Our established and valued allies Kishiro Technologies and Interspace Commerce have assisted with the delivery of the required materials, accelerating the upgrade effort. In addition to this, contact was made by a previously unencountered group identifying themselves as Bristol Constructions. Their services were engaged, however due to the sensitivity of the Mekong project and lack of prior dealings with this organisation, they were contracted under the guise of a project on Iejima Station. The heat sinks they delivered from Bretonia were subsequently transferred from Iejima Station, Sigma-59, to Mekong Station, Sigma-21. The speed, efficiency and professionalism displayed by Bristol Constructions was most impressive and, should they prove trustworthy, they may serve as a worthy ally in the future. Despite instruction to deliver directly to iejima, a number of units of heat sinks were also delivered to Mekong Station, which is not ideal and could possibly be viewed as a lack of discipline, but on the other hand could also be taken as individual transport captains being able to take the initiative. The logs of the transfer of heat sinks are listed below.
Further to the above, a number of illegal installations infringing on GMG sovereignty in the Sigma-21 system have been removed. Most notable was Tsingtao Station, an apparent joint project between the Restored Empire of Kusari and Federal Republic of Rheinland, which was subsequently destroyed with the assistance of the Blood Dragons.
Any further offending bases will be forcibly deconstructed, and in the interim Mekong Station will continue to act as the main Guild base of operations in the system. The Rheinland MIlitary will eventually withdraw, whether it be by choice or force.
