According to my readings, the reason for the storm was an accident involving a large amount of Dark Matter and Dark Energy being trapped in one place. The results were catastrophic, resulting in the disaster. The origin point is at the north end of the Large Dark Matter Storm, and exhibits strange gravitational properties. My conclusion is that the explosion was a White Hole, which expels matter from it's center faster than the speed of light.
We have not figured out how to solve the problem just yet, but we think the artifacts on Amorgos might provide some answers to our questions.
Not much was encountered on the way there. However, Fort Carthage has recently detected a Nomad Fleet heading to Sigma-19, so I and a few Order Ships have been tasked to intercept it immediately. I will report back in soon.

Guten Tag, Oberst Wunderbring hier,
due to the recent law changes within Liberty, the tight grip that Liberty put on restricted equipment became even tighter. From now on, all technology produced by the Order, with the exception of engines and thrusters, are illegal in Liberty. If you wish to enter Liberty in any way, make sure that your ship fits the following criterias:
- Your ship/equipment is not produced by the following entities:
On another note: The development with the Order for our upgraded Rheinland ships has been successful. The new blueprints have already reached our production facility on Geneva. The technology inside the ships has received a major heads up and is now almost on par with the Order, that means you will have to fly with care after your ship has been upgraded. The ships are now able to run on H-Fuel, I want all Aktivisten to have engines with H-Fuel cells on their ships. Mox is hereby no longer needed. Since we need to import the new technology first, we will need about 10.000 units of Optronics first. The GMG is able to ship them from Honshu to Bruchsal.
Along with arriving at the instillation and talking with an Order Pilot, I got some repairs done on the Goethe. It seems as though the continued wear and tear from heavy usage had chewed away at the hull plating and engines, causing a reduction in protective armor and maneuverability. Hopefully now I can focus my full attention on PROJECT: HIMMEL.

Report 02-12-824 A.S.
Guten tag,
Today, I received a call to arms as a MND gunboat and a BDM bomber were spotted in Frankfurt.
More information below.
Mission Objective: Intercept
Commanding Officer: Rank Hauptmann Karl Richtofer - DWR|WKB-Midgard (Heimdall)
Friendly Forces:
• Hauptmann Karl Richtofer - DWR|WKB-Midgard (Heimdall) • Hauptmann Albert Weis - DWR|Blitz (Cutlass) • Kommandant Tanya von Degurechaff - DWR|Flamme (Fafnir) • Kommandant Leo Dautzenberg - DWR|WKB-Geschw.Scholl (Oder)
Notable Encounters:
•MND|RNC-"Rokh" - Hostile An Oder-class gunboat. Along BDM|Panzershcreck, he engaged our forces nearby the Mainz shipping platform. He was brought down by the combined firepower of Blitz, Geschwister Scholl and Midgard, with the latter dealing the crippling blow.
•BDM|Panzerschreck - Hostile A Fafnir bomber. Along the MND|RNC-"Rokh", he engaged our forces nearby the Mainz shipping platform. While he managed to disable Flamme, he was disabled shortly after by Blitz.

I was looking at some papers in my quarters when I was alerted of an unwanted presence near Bruchsal. Without further ado, I rushed to the WKB Midgard and unmoored from Bruchsal, where I found herr Weis on DWR|Blitz, frau von Degurechaff on DWR|Flamme and Kommandant Dautzenberg on the WKB Geschwister Scholl. Having assembled, we proceeded to sweep the area for the enemy, dividing only near Mainz. Frau von Degurechaff and I checked the Neu Berlin Gate and Mannheim, while herr Dautzenberg and herr Weis checked the area behind the Stulingen moon. And the latter managed to spot the enemy ships, MND|RNC-"Rokh" and BDM|Panzerschreck, which proceeded to engage us. And here comes the fun part.
The battle erupted quickly. The Midgard and Geschwister Scholl concentrated their firepower on the MND gunboat, while frau von Degurechaff and frau Weis kept the BDM bomber away from us. However, the BDM got a lucky shot on frau von Degurechaff's vessel, disabling it - I managed to recover her pod safely.
Code:
[02.12.2017 11:03:53] Death: DWR|Flamme was put out of action by BDM|Panzerschreck (Gun).
Shortly after, herr Weis avenged her by destroying the BDM with a well placed shot.
Code:
[02.12.2017 11:07:24] Death: BDM|Panzerschreck was put out of action by DWR|Blitz (Gun).
With the bomber down, we focused on the MND gunboat, piercing through his armor easily. The WKB Midgard managed to land a critical shot, disabling the gunboat.
Code:
[02.12.2017 11:09:29] Death: MND|RNC-"Rokh" was put out of action by DWR|WKB-Midgard (Gun).
With victory in our grasp, we set course back to Bruchsal, where I left my comrades to file this report.
Saying it's been an eventful start of the day is well said. The MND and BDM will think twice about attacking us again.
This is all for now.
Richtofer, Ende.

Guten Tag, Oberst Wunderbring hier,
the Blood Dragons have interest in the obtainment of 2.000 Nuclear Devices and we are going to be the nice people bringing them. Unfortunately, there is no chance of obtaining them through our own ways so we'll need someone else to do it and who could do that job better than the ALG? This message is mainly directed to you, Herr Quartiermeister. Make sure you can sound appealing to them and make it clear that it is not our intention to use these things anywhere in Rheinland.
On my way back from shipping Plutonium from Planet Miura to Helgoland Station, I found the wrecks of two Old Rheinland Imperial Navy fighters. According to the designs and composition of the wrecks, they were precursors to the Valkyrie design used in the Nomad War, and subsequently the Wraith design used today. They have survived being stripped down to their hulls by scavengers from Newport Station, as well as the explosions caused by these scavengers.
I can only assume that these ships were designed to have a powerful hull, much more powerful than a lot of modern fighters. According to some schematics I searched up, these fighters were highly advanced at the time of their use, even using the infamous CLASS 9 weapon "JADE". However, this design clearly had flaws, as evidenced by their current wrecked state.
The hull used on these ships was made out of a highly non-flexible material, which meant that when all the panels were put on, there were still lightly armored weak points on these vessels, which the GMG exploited in their war. Therefore, I do not recommend replicating this armor for our combat vessels.
This does not mean we can't attempt to use it, though. The armor could prove to be very useful on our transport vessels, and on PROJECT: HIMMEL. Any of our non-combatant ships have a much higher chance of survival with this type of armor on. I will do more research on the Imperial line of technology, and how it has benefited the Unioners and how it could benefit us.

Aktivisten,
I have been roaming around in Liberty lately and had an encounter with a Separatist ship that claimed that there was a bounty on my head. Naturally, the ship opened up on me as I responded. It seems that our stance towards the Liberty Separatists, especially their leaders of the Battlegroup Harmony, have turned us into their enemies. Due to the nature of this attack, I am declaring the Separatist movement of Liberty an enemy of the Weiße Rose. You are clear to engage and extort any Separatist ship that enters Rheinland as of now.
Another issue. The problem of people putting us into the box of pirates is risking our public appearance that is quite good as of now. The Oberkommando is currently working out a plan to get rid of piracy and replace it with a functioning system of taxation and contraband confiscation. Until that is in effect, try to work your way around piracy and only tax under circumstances that justify it. Don't take the cargo of any trader unless it is contraband we deem as illegal, a detailed plan will come soon.

Safe skies and happy holiday season for you all. Wunderbring Ende.
the Seraphim have shown their good will in helping with the poor conditions on Hammersee. As the biggest organization operating locally, we have to use our logistic ships for the supplement of important materials that will help our allies and the local inhabitants that have shown great courage in their duties as camp-assistants. Due to our status in Rheinland, we have to ship the materials to Freeport-8, from where the Seraphim will handle it.

the Oberkommando has decided that Kommandantin Tanya von Degurechaff will be put as the second Oberst of the Weiße Rose. Frau von Degurechaff has shown remarkable dedication for our cause, not only by actively participating in all of our operations but also by creating her own plan to save the people of Munich together with Hauptmann Albert Weis. A personal note to you, Frau von Degurechaff, get that temperament of yours under control from time to time, especially now. I wish you good luck and be assured that I am having a very careful look at your actions now.
-Helena Wunderbring, Generaloberst of the Weiße Rose
