To all personnel,
With the uptick in trade activity within the Sigmas has come a surge of smugglers seeking to exploit these opportunities.
Patrols across our glorious House have reported increasing numbers of vessels utilizing illegal smuggling routes and violating military quarantine zones. Many vessels caught engaging in these activities are found to be carrying armaments bound from Liberty. Most concerningly they are often civilian in nature. Despite this and their nationality, you are to do your utmost to stop, search, and question these vessels. Punishment should be meted out by the ranking officer on the scene or passed on to Federal Police officials wherever possible. While lethal force is always authorized, it is to be used sparingly. Only vessels confirmed to be collaborating with criminal elements, trespassing in secure areas, firing on civilian, military, or law enforcement vessels, and those attempting to flee may be killed.
Your commanding officer will brief you with updated patrol routes and unit allocations. This problem must be dealt with in good measure. The Kaiser is watching, and we must uphold the sanctity of him and of Rheinland. There can be no failure.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,
Erich von Richter
Konteradmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr

Our patrols report an outstanding issue I am transmitting on behalf of the fleet,
Imperial Shipping vessels have reported being subjected to stop-and-search operations within Sigma-13 by Kusari Naval warships. An investigating reconnaissance patrol has indicated that at least one destroyer is blocking the Frankfurt jump gate within Sigma-13. Reports suggest they refused to wave off and as of now are seemingly unimpeded by the Gas Miners Guild. The responding patrol was met with veiled threats to leave the system and notice that they would continue with these inspections regardless.
We are advising that we be given immediate permission to force their withdrawal or petition the Kusari government to stop these operations immediately. I report on behalf of Konteradmiral Richter that he has directed ships to be ready to cross the gate immediately. Konteradmiral Richter has also requested in the absence of the prior two actions to be given precise directives on how to respond to the matter.
The Bretonian Navy was in desperate need of reinforcements, following the invasion of a large Hessian force into Omega 3. I had rallied our battlegruppe stationed in Omega 7. I found their close proximity and experience in Dublin useful for this operation. Our battlegruppe went en route to aid in the defense of the Aland Monument.
We twarthed the Hessian terrorists twice before. However, it seems IMG forces are now aiding them in their siege. We did what we could to help our Bretonian kollegen. However we had to retreat after receiving overwhelming firepower. More damage was done to the station before the enemy fleet retreated, but still standing, for now. Footage can be found below.

Report as follows:
Fought enemy to best of ability, expected Bretonian reinforcements did not materialize. Large-scale attacks by Coalition, IMG, and Hessian forces. Bretonian command ships struck hard. Assumed temporary command, held off enemy briefly, formation broke in next attack. Heavy casualties among Bretonian and corporate security forces.
Station has been destroyed by enemy forces. Bretonian forces in complete disarray, have lost contact with command elements. Unsure of status of liaison officer or remaining major Bretonian elements.
Battlegroup is withdrawing to Omega-7, have taken heavy damage to our starboard side. Will rally remaining forces at Elbe.

I guess i have been settled in with the Order. While i'm still getting surprised looks when walking around in a Rheinlander uniform amongst them, they seem to accept my presence. I even made some new friends amongst Eddy's group.
Now the reason i'm sending: Rumor has it that relations between the Order and the Corsairs have been going south. I'm not aware of too many details but i can say this: The Corsairs and the Hogosha have been caught toghether smuggling large amounts of Nomad Artifacts towards Kabukicho Depot for unknown reasons. The Order and several other factions have found this out and a big fight ensued with the Corsairs and Order on opposite sides. How far the Kusari authorities are aware of this smuggling is unknown.
It ain't much, but in any case i'll leave this information into your hands.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Guten tag.
On my patrol, I came across a strange emergene. Apparently affiliated with BMM, he goes by the name ALG. I told him what to do to rectify his allegiance.
But a few minutes later I saw some annoying advertising on our channels! I don't know if this person is allowed to run ads, here's the message attached.
