Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

my name is Renate Bommel and I'm part of ze Oberrat of ze Kaiserreichspolizei in Rheinland.
I'm contacting you, because ze kaiserliche Grenzschutzgarde has intercepted an intruder recently.

A few weeks ago, ze Rheinland corvette Eisenach had been deployed to ze Frankfurt system for a Polizei task. During zis, ze corvette's captain showed exemplary presence of our force wizin ze Frankfurt system. We were able to remove a lot of unlawful forces, including, but not limited to Unioners, Corsairs and Bundschuhs.

During a routine exercise near ze Fulda border station, ze corvette was present, when a outcast entered Rheinland space during ze Sigma-13 gate. As you are aware, ze Outcasts are currently not welcome in Rheinland according to §5.4. Needless to say, zat our captain immediately demanded an explanation of ze intruders intention wizin ze empire.

Ze outcast was asking for a formal meeting; a "mutual understanding" as he named it. After we heard zis, we first made clear, zat outcasts are known for zeir main export, cardamine and he only laughed. After zat he more clarified ze intention. He offered to assist not only Rheinland forces against corsairs, but also Rheinland corporations, should zey ever get attacked; sirius-wide. Zis might be too good to be true.

We asked him what happens, at ze moment ze corsair empire falls - and if ze outcasts will turn against Rheinland - he only laughed even more. I really don't have a good feeling about an agreement wiz drug smuggler in Rheinland. But I would like to leave ze strategic decision wizin ze borders to ze Rheinwehr.

Guten Tag Oberrätin Renate Bommel,


Oberkommando has received and discussed your report. We agree with your gut feeling and will not go into contact with them.
Since this Outcast decided to send you instead of contacting us over official communication channels, it makes us wonder if said pilot was high on cardamine him/herself.

Danke für reporting this to us.

Abmeldung,
Gunter Kunrad
Admiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

during ze last monz, ze Rheinland Polizei started talks wiz ze gallic Gendarmerie about importing prisoner labor for Planet Hammersee and after several weeks of no response to our dialogue, we finally got a message from zem yesterday. Ze respective gaul told me, zey'll appear in ze Koeln system in about 36h to speed up ze talks before we waste anozer monz in ze neural net.

As 36h are some kind of ... logistical challenge to move ships to a system, where ze Rheinland Polizei no longer holds a presence; I hereby (politely) request some assistance from ze kaiserliche Rheinwehr and zeir bolstered squadrons on Battleship Altenburg to assist us in ze case of an ambush.

Oberrätin Renate Bommel,


In reply to your inquiry, we will be sending a yet unconfirmed number of Military ships to secure the perimeter. Battleship Altenburg will be our rally point. I also ordered the battleship to leave a few docking bays open, should the Rheinland Polizei need a staging point for extra manpower. Keep us posted about important future communication with the Gendarmerie.

Abmeldung,
Gunter Kunrad
Admiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
