"In agreement with our oath to The Platform and its people, the Damnatio Memoriae submit this report which outlines the events that have unfolded in the system of Thuringia, as to which we deem highly sensitive so disclosure beyond this is not recommended; But we will respect Cell autonomy and hold future decision in good faith. This report is extensive, so please see to the following sections below for points-of-interest. Tennstedt had been evacuated at the time with only the responding combat team positioned ready for deployment and to leave the station temporarily empty until the experiment has ceased. As of now, Tennstetd is back to operational capacity and awaiting repairs on minor systems.
"On 7/4/834A.S. an MND offensive took place against the quarantine zone of the Salzungenebel of known Nomad and Nomad infected hostiles. The offensive also contained a MND fabricated prototype WMD that was fired towards the quarantine zone. What the MND were not prepared for was the responding force that had laid dormant within the quarantine zone that had intelligence on when that offensive was taking place. How this counter-offensive was so effective and well timed is not known as DM intelligence couldn't establish the exact time the operation was to be executed, our responding force could only deploy as soon as SIGINT could confirm mass deployments by both Nomad and MND forces.
During the combat, the MND commanded vessel RNC-Kolleda had been deployed along side a fleet of Rheinland intelligence, military and even police forces. Considering the circumstances and our intelligence on nomad intentions within the system, we had decided to support the Imperial Government forces against the nomad counter-attack fleet. What we observed during the firefight was a mess, MND and military ships were highly disorganized that the Kolleda had already taken massive damage before she could bare to fire the prototype into the Salzungenebel. The weapon itself took the last remaining strength of the Kolleda to fire before its reactor ruptured, leaving it dead in the water and Nomad forces focused at denying escape to its crew.
The Kolleda had managed to retain cover by the remnant Imperial forces that the Nomads had retreated back into the cloud of the Salzungenebel, what we can conclude is that both sides have taken significant losses to their fleets and compositions but the Nomad forces may have taken the biggest blow with the potential destruction of their stronghold within the graveyard of the Salzungenebel.
"The Imperial task force consisting of intelligence and military forces were present within the system to support the conduct of this experimental deployment. With the mainline military becoming involved in matters concerning Thuringia, it is inevitable that the interests of this system will include corporate ones when the technologies and assets of this place will become intertwined with the Military industrial complex. This system has a great deal of knowledge to be unearthed on sub-space, jump-hole and alien precursor research. With the constant war and skirmishes inside Thuringia... They have more than just security against the nomads when it comes to the goals of securing this system.
"The nomads on the otherhand, they've been resident combatants to this system since the purge of Rheinland after the 801A.S. colony wars and have been a target of clean up ever since from Rheinlands internal core worlds. The proximity of Thuringia to those core systems has presented an everlasting scourge to the stability of Rheinland and they've been under strict censorship to ensure that their abilities of malicious infection doesn't spread. But with the sudden collapse of multiple jumpholes throughout Thuringia they've been put on the backfoot, or so we like to presume... Their ability to work the material function of anomalies in space has been one of their advantages and even with the potential destruction of their base of operations in Thuringia, they're likely have a contingency to reinforce their position one way or another and usually not my practical means... We're observing the system for any potential activity around anamouls points of interest."
The Suhl, one of Thuringia's most deadly stellar bodies that spans the several sectors of the system. Pre-marked positions by MND ships have shown a stable route into the center of the anomaly, Bundschuh ships are not advised to trespass. It is highly discouraged from entering the anomaly due to its dense pockets of gravitational sub-space distortions that are borderline impossible to see, they riddle the region with the capability of tearing ships apart and instantly killing the crew. Some instances resulted in ships being caught between subspace anomalies, wrecks litter the path within the heart of the Shul which have found to be dragged deeper as a result of the anomaly's expansion outwards across Thuringia and accelerated by multiple events; one of them being the firing of the prototype.
While multiple attempts of graviton-based containment systems have been implemented by the MND to slow the expansion of the Suhl, none have been able to fully restrict it's growth and the repercussions are showing more and more signs every day. Tennstetd's automated systems found a large concentration of energy either being collected or formed within the Suhl once the Kolleda had fired it's weapon, either directly from the prototype itself or resulting from its energy being made a catalyst in some form. What concerns us the most is that this anomaly has seen higher activity ever since the jumpholes to several linked systems have collapsed in the area, potentially connecting these jump-space related events together to form the expansion of this destructive anomaly. One potential feature this could describe is that the Suhl itself is not a naturally occuring anomaly... At least not on this physical plane.
Planet Gotha, or what's left of it, was once was a sizable but barren planet, but is now only known as the shattered world with it's core remaining in orbit of Thuringia's star, along with it's remnants that now settle as an asteroid field known as the Nordhausen Fragments. It's molten core sat untouched due to its hostile nature as exploration teams have to contend with no atmosphere and a molten surface that gives off considerable amounts of harmful radiation. Thankfully our station is shielded for what we know as it's regular energy output, but with intelligence from the Direktor to the platform herself, we managed to evacuate the station prior to the assault and prepared automated systems to analyse the region. While several areas of the station are in need of repair from the discharge and asteroid debris that rippled from Gotha's core, the Operations post had taken major precautions to preserve its observations. What we found was the same energy that had originated from the Gotha incident of 820A.S, it's unknown if the resulting pulse was known by the MND before they fired their prototype, but we will continue to monitor Gotha in the case of increased risk
Weimar, the MND trophy from the conflict that took place in this system roughly 30 years ago, the only habitable planet within the system and forbidden to access by anyone other than approved personnel. Security and monitoring on the planet is beyond excessive and notable regions around the planet are heavily reinforced by automated MND defences in both ground and air vectors, orbital defences consist of rapidly deployable heavy support ships and quick reaction fighters. The planet was subject to heavy tectonic activity during 820A.S. from the explosion of Gotha, showing similar signs to the detonated planet yet maintaining it's cohesion. We have no intelligence regarding the planet after the firing of the MND's experimental weapon other than energy emissions from that sector elevating considerably in parallel to the pulse given by Gotha.
Several jump holes in the system are reported to have collapsed during the Jump-Gate blackout of 831A.S. and now project dangerous amounts of slip-space energy that results in uncontained radiation damage. Unlike phase-aligned jump holes, once a breach has formed within the jump tunnel, the resulting energy leak can be highly damaging to normal space and it's atomic integrity. With several collapses in the system, the Suhl has somehow been siphoning off this dangerous energy from multiple sources, it's advised to stay clear of these collapsed jumpholes by all means along with extended exposure from the path of energy being transferred from these collapsed jumpholes towards the Suhl.
The DM itself is highly concerned about future operations within this system, our objective to contain this complicated conflict within it's system is becoming less and less likely. We've deemed it appropriate for this disclosure to alert our compatriots in arms of what could potentially be spreading out to Rheinland core worlds and the homes of our Platformers.
We will be observing alien and government activity closely, the intricate nature of goals concerning parties involved are mysterious, dangerous and likely to cause great instability for us if left unattended, as such the DM will be:
- To reinforce the capability, resilience and survivability of the Platform as an community, peoples and a movement in an ever expanding and developing Sirius. Identifying future threats, entities and events for the Platform to make careful and considerate decisions that could have effects on the greater Bundschuh community.
- Invest significant efforts to improve the Platform and Bundschuh electronic and automation infrastructure to offset the imbalance of available militia manpower against numerously equipped opponents, augmenting information cohesion and rapid emergency response of platform civilian services.
We expect this information to be questioned and expanded upon, if you have any questions concerning the details of this report, we will try to answer them to the best of our abilities.
Stay strong, Platformers.
