Kreig was tired. Not of the Unioners, they provided a little income from Manhime Station. Not even of the AW essentially 'taking over' his beloved Rhinland. It was the sitting here and waiting that really got him. And when Fleet Admirals are fed up with something, someone usually dies.

Vakklus' newest falgship sat over New Berlin. A proud ship, freshly constructed and manned, also having just finished combat with some of the AWs fighters. Then, another Battleship emerged from the Tradelane to Frankfurt. All turrets opened fire upon the Flagship, pounding it's shields with acid green plasma. Missile after missile slammed into the ship as well, sending the reeling crew to the deck. The newcomer never really slowed down.

Kreigs shields were still fully functional, while the Flagship's was not. It looked like the ship nudged it, but when something that weighed more than any other ship in Sirus ramms another at around 90... well, physics works.

The flagship quite suddenly looked like one of those cars you see in the 180 MPH head-on collisions, while the newcommer was unharmed. The flagship went down in burning glory... Then exploded in a gigantic green fireball of plasma and radiation. Yet more molten metal, cooling fast, to be picked up by the Junkers.

Then, and only then, did the newcommer open communications.
"This is the RNC Kreig! We are here to reclaim Rhinland in the name of the Honnorable Chancelor Samus! I will be acting as the Fleet Admiral, untill the Chancelor is returned. Martial Law is now in effect! All military ships, you may either profess your devotion to the Chancelor, or face immediate termination. All RM ships are hereby recalled to Rhinland space. Unfortunetly, we will be closing our borders to all other factions. Freelancers and Traders are still allowed.
Concerning the AW; We appreciate what you have done for Rhinland. However, we'll take it from here. You are still allowed withing Rhinland Space, but the RM will be starting to transfer leadership. However, you, and only you, are allowed within Rhinland Borders. None of your allies are allowed in. I'm sorry to say it, but I don't feel like taking any chances with outside factions.
Again, the coup is over! I, Fleet Admiral Kreig, have declared Martial Law in all Rhinland Systems. All RM ships are to report to Rhinland Space immediately! Rhinland is closed to all factions, except the AW. Rhinland will remain under Martial Law untill Her Honner the Chancelor is returned alive and well.

End the transmission."
