Report as follows:

Operations within Sigma-15 have preceeded as ordered. I have personally led our fighter wing on several long-range patrols to secure the system and can note several incidents.

1. The GMG have constructed a facility roughly 8 kilometres north of Freeport 8. This was done with the help of Kishiro tagged transport vessels. Patrols have not yet ascertained the full extent of operations being conducted in this facility. Kishiro vessels have been spotted continuing to operate in the area.

2. Corsair raiding forces have been passing through the system with alarming frequency, oftentimes coming into conflict with our own forces.

3. Raiding forces from the GMG have attacked several military, police and corporate vessels unprovoked in recent weeks in the southern end of the system. Recovered communication logs indicate they believe we are "trespassing" and violating GMG "laws" by operating in the system. Reasons for attacks on corporate vessels are currently not known. Our current ROE does not permit engagement of aggressors until fired upon, thus leaving our forces at a tactical disadvantage.


The current military situation is undesirable and may deteriorate without further intervention. To rectify this I recommend the following:

1. Increased military deployments to Sigma-15 as well as active cooperation with corporate security forces operating in the area.

2. Loosening of current engagement orders to prosecute aggressive GMG vessels unhindered.

3. A retaliatory show of force operation or freedom of navigation operation to be conducted, possibly on the GMG installation within system.

4. Increased restrictions on GMG ships within Rheinland space, active persecution of GMG vessels with intentionally overzealous security checks if the government cannot be persuaded.

The current situation remains tenuous and we await further orders on how to proceed.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
Karl Holzner
Oberleutnant der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
