As we already managed to discuss, I am contacting you about the installing of the Anti-Corsair Joint Strike Force that we are mounting. This transmission is to inform you of the strength of the Bundschuh detachment, command structure and likely areas of operation.
As discussed, we hope that there will be no issues integrating your soldiers into the existing command structure. Ostara's spare room has been cleared so it can accomodate the pilots while they are resting. Bear in mind that we do not expect large engagements with capital fleets, so the ship is currently mainly equipped to support our raiding parties.
Without further ado, the composition of the Geyer Squadron from the Bundschuh side is as follows. I expect your response with the exact composition and the names of your liaison officers as soon as humanly possible. Once that is out of the way, we can begin assembling the squadron.
Geyer Squadron Composition Wrote:
Commanding officer:Kommandant Alexander Fuchs Second-in-Command (Bundschuh):Aktivist Hannah Feinen Base of Operations:WGS Ostara, BU-GM493 "Ostara"-Class Escort Cruiser (Crew: 40 men) Bundschuh combat personnel:30 Pilots in 5 Squadrons Bundschuh fighter craft:15 VHFs, varying types. 3 HFs, varying types. 2 LFs, varying types. Bundschuh bomber craft:10 medium Bombers, Series CZ "Cutlass". 5 heavy Bombers, WAR-4b "Waran"
I furthermore feel obliged to inform you that recently the Unioners have resurfaced and keep harassing us. I strongly suspect them of cooperation or at least toleration towards the Corsairs, judging by their past cooperations. Aside from this, I will put Kommandant Fuchs in charge of creating a shared message feed for mission reports conducted by every member of the squadron, which will then regularly updated to the nearest base of our alliance.
If you have anything to add, feel free to use this frequency.
Hoping for a flawless cooperation in this matter,
Dr. Annika J. Haupt, Oberst and commanding officer of the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee

"Ah, konnichiwa, Bundschuh. It has been a while, hasn't it? Yes, the Corsairs appear to be meddling once more. They should know that they face a threat which is insurmountable.
"I am not sure about whether the Shogun themselves shall be attending this or not. So it seems that me and my children shall be overseeing this. I am currently sending this from elsewhere, so I personally cannot attend, but my son and daughter can, Taketa and Kahori. The Shogun may also be in contact, should they wish.
We should be able to send a strong response in force to them. This would be:
15 Tachi VHFs as the general defense force.
7 Katana HFs as a scouting force.
5 Tanto LFs as a light reconnaissance group.
And 10 Nodachi Bombers as a spear against potential capitals.
"This should work quite well to quell the Corsair offense. When everything is ready, we shall send them over at once. And about these Unioners...We shall see if their alignment truly leans to the Corsairs or not. Perhaps we shall see soon."

LOCATION: Order|CV-Osiris
Oberst Haupt, I am Agent Shieldbreaker, Overwatch Liaison. I apologize Inquisitor Valkyrie is not here, or any of the Admirals, but we all have duties. I've been cleared to detail the current force we will be deploying to the region to support you.
The Order will be deploying the following forces to the Ostara:
30 Bastet VHFs will be the bulk of this force.
15 Sekhmet Bombers for anti-capital vessel duties.
10 Onuris Light Fighters to assist with general reconnaissance and interception duties.
The wing leader with be Valkyrie herself, unless she otherwise decides.
I thank you once more for your assistance pledge in the matter. The joint forces are currently assembling at Eltmann, the only thing that is missing is the initial supplies to take on their first two-week foray into the Sigmas. I have linked the set up joint communication feed and the finished list of squadron composition and command structure/supply situation in this communication. Please make sure to relay this to your volunteers and commanders.
The comm feed is usable for all members of the Task Force, and should also be used to coordinate the supply efforts over the course of the preparation, as well as during the operational periods.
Hoping for a flawless cooperation in this matter,
Dr. Annika J. Haupt, Oberst and commanding officer of the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee
