Federal Relief Campaign Texas, Munich
Trade Event
OVERVIEW
With civil war spreading throughout Rheinland, the Thuringia system has become the focal point of Federal resistance efforts. As more and more federal officials and loyalist citizens are displaced by advancing Imperial militias, Planet Weimar has been adopted as the defacto seat of the Federal government. Originally designed to be a military and intelligence fortification, Planet Weimar's utilitarian bunkers have been overwhelmed by the surge of people seeking safe harbour. This has led to living conditions deteriorating and strict rationing being imposed on inbound evacuees until the relevant logistical problems are addressed.
Federal planners have attempted to resolve this issue by reaching out for foreign assistance. The first to respond have been friendly contacts in Liberty who are loathe to see their interests in Stuttgart and New Berlin imperiled. Civilian Relief Supplies are being offered from Planet Houston, largely consisting of the humanitarian and engineering supplies needed to accomodate settlement building. Due to security concerns surrounding the safety of Planet Weimar, these supplies are being redirected to New Augsburg Outpost in Munich, where they can be bartered for stockpiled supplies of Depleted Uranium for return shipment to Planet Houston.
Some Imperial forces have been sighted firing on vessels carrying these cargoes and aiding their enemies during a civil war.

NOTES
There is no ID lock on shipping event commodities to the appropriate station. Normal restrictions on trading in House space apply. Houston has a LPI IFF, New Augsburg has an ALG IFF. Transports hauling event commodities will be flagged as combat targets for the opposing factions listed in the commodity infocards.
A corresponding event for Imperialist sympathising traders will be added shortly, which will run between Dublin and Planet New Berlin. I'm currently having to work around some issues with hitting the cap on the number of event commodities. Some of the older ones will need to be recycled.
Explanation on Combat Targets: Transports carrying event cargoes become combat targets to the listed factions. This means they may be shot without a demand by any ship type that is allowed to attack transports. This does not bypass rule 4.7 regarding capital ships and the circumstances under which they may attack transports.
Outcome
This event has no further ramifications beyond making money and promoting roleplay and conflict between Imperial and Federal ships.

At the moment I'm planning events that directly lead in to the imminent patch. As soon as that drops, we'll be broadening out into other areas. We'll be doing similar things for future patches that focus on other regions too.
@Shiki - when are you going to get bored of your new novelty gimmick account?
Don't be worry mister @jammi, there's only one point to be delivered in this thread and it was delivered in post #3 so we wish players to have fun with the event.
