Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

my name is Renate Bommel and I'm part of ze Oberrat of ze Kaiserreichspolizei in Rheinland.
I'm contacting you, because ze kaiserliche Grenzschutzgarde has intercepted an intruder recently.

A few weeks ago, ze Rheinland corvette Eisenach had been deployed to ze Frankfurt system for a Polizei task. During zis, ze corvette's captain showed exemplary presence of our force wizin ze Frankfurt system. We were able to remove a lot of unlawful forces, including, but not limited to Unioners, Corsairs and Bundschuhs.

During a routine exercise near ze Fulda border station, ze corvette was present, when a outcast entered Rheinland space during ze Sigma-13 gate. As you are aware, ze Outcasts are currently not welcome in Rheinland according to §5.4. Needless to say, zat our captain immediately demanded an explanation of ze intruders intention wizin ze empire.

Ze outcast was asking for a formal meeting; a "mutual understanding" as he named it. After we heard zis, we first made clear, zat outcasts are known for zeir main export, cardamine and he only laughed. After zat he more clarified ze intention. He offered to assist not only Rheinland forces against corsairs, but also Rheinland corporations, should zey ever get attacked; sirius-wide. Zis might be too good to be true.

We asked him what happens, at ze moment ze corsair empire falls - and if ze outcasts will turn against Rheinland - he only laughed even more. I really don't have a good feeling about an agreement wiz drug smuggler in Rheinland. But I would like to leave ze strategic decision wizin ze borders to ze Rheinwehr.
