Platformers, its time we stepped up our security operations and start striking against these corporations' stellar assets. Consider this your updated assignment on our local frontiers.

With the massing of our paramilitary flotillas now reaching capacity that we can start to take direct offensive operations on our terms, this means we're taking advantage of opposing forces operations along with making our own opportunities to supplement our cause. But before we get too ambitious, we must secure our own base of operations and logistical routes against increasing corporate security, in turn causing higher stress and attrition on the authorities response capability. I'm encouraging any paramilitary forces to report any potential target that threatens our established routes but in the meantime I've labelled a few that could get the ball rolling.

Swift's Mining Co.1 is a Daumann IFF'ed installation, its seems to be involved in the Aluminium mining operations that Rheinland has invested in. With the recent uptick of corporate exploitation that the corporations have been involved in with Hammersee penal colony. Recently flooding in with both native and foreign prisoners that seem to have heavy involvement in force labour on orbiting production facilities. The proximity of this station near Bielefeld as it sits less than 10 Klicks from the defence perimeter, its been known to fire on passing patrols and heavily restricts the movement of our forces, causing immediate diversions in supply and combat patrol traffic. I will submit this station for potential targeting.

Another Daumann installation is Arnsberg Research Institute, it sits between the trade lane corridor of the Saarfeld and the Harzfeld, its equipped with a guardian defence system causing quite the issue for our LWB neighbours and unlawful smugglers making their routes via the "Widerstands-Rettungsring" as it seems to be equiped with an area-of-effect disruption system that causes havoc on cruise engines and active camouflage systems on our clandestine vessels. Likely involved with the rest of New Berlins manufacturing operations so this may be something worthwhile hitting if we want to put a strain on their ability to recuperate their asset losses. It is highly advisable we contact the Hessians and see if they would also be encouraged to push the Corporates back from the Dresden gate to give ensure they think twice if they believe Dresden will return to their hands... And an eye for an eye for Bautzen.

Subject: Stunning Victory

The Platform has managed to show its new teeth,

Approximately twenty-four hours ago, we achieved a stunning victory over the Rheinwehr with the assistance of our oldest allies, the Red Hessians. The Blue Uhlan was on patrol in Cologne when we received an emergency communication from a Red Hessian ship in Dresden requesting immediate support from any available ships. I ordered the crew to make best possible speed for Stuttgart and we managed to arrive in Dresden just in time to provide assistance to the Hessian Cruiser Mimir and Bundschuh Gunboat Luneburg. The Mimir and Luneburg, with the assistance of the Hessian Battleship Jotunheim had managed to corner a pair of Bismarck-class battleships against the minefield around the New Berlin Jump Gate.

Since the Hessian units were the larger of the forces deployed, we operated under their operational command. From what I understand, the Mimir was a relatively new ship and wished to test their mettle against the two Bismarcks, and the Jotunheim agreed to allow the smaller vessels to take the first crack at the Rheinwehr vessels, with the understanding that they would move in if any of us took substantial damage. Moving in to assist the other light vessels, we found that the Rheinwehr vessels had severe issues in managing to track our more maneuverable ships, judging from my own experience the crews of both ships must be very recent recruits with no practical combat experience.

We focused our fire on the KKS-Paul first, and managed to destroy it without any difficulties, with the Mimir according itself very well during the engagement. Switching fire to the KKS-Roteblüte, we found that the command crew of that particular vessel seemed to be having severe issues with tracking our ships, repeatedly transmitting in the blind that they were seeing several more contacts on their scopes than were actually present. With that particular ship nearly destroyed, the Jotunheim called out that yet another battleship had jumped into Dresden through the New Berlin Gate. This one, the RNC-Neuwiesbaden, handled itself a little better than the first two and managed to hold out long enough for yet another battleship to arrive on the scene.

The Blue Uhlan’s sensor officer called out a report on the most recent arrival, and managed to designate the newest vessel as the KKS-Kaiser. I have to admit that I was rather shocked to hear this report as the Kaiser is appropriately named, as it is the Emperor’s Yacht and from my understanding is rarely deployed in direct combat roles outside of large fleet actions. The commanding officer of the Kaiser ordered the Neuwiesbaden to make back for the jump gate, even threatening a court martial and possible execution if they didn’t comply immediately. Both ships started to head back into the minefield and make for the gate, but it seems that the Neuwiesbaden had some sort of critical propulsion failure, and was incapable of making through the gate before it suddenly veered wildly off course and was destroyed.

The Kaiser’s commander, seeing the situation decaying rapidly proceeded back through the gate, and smelling blood we gave chase. The Mimir got through the gate ahead of us, and by the time we transitioned back to real space, they had already cut off the Kaiser’s escape route down the trade lane leading away from the gate. The Kaiser clearly had a more experienced crew, and managed to inflict some damage on the Mimir, but the ship sustained heavy damage and I could see it from the bridge of the Blue Uhlan as a series of life support system failures rippled through the ship, leaving it floating dead in space and not even worth the effort to destroy completely. Watching as escape pods began to eject, I ordered the crew to begin operations to recover all pods that we were capable of carrying, which amounted to a significant portion of the crew from the Kaiser as well as portions of the crew of the other three ships.

Having offered our Hessian comrades safe haven at Kaiserslautern all four ships headed there immediately, and on the way I spoke with the captain of the Kaiser, Konteradmiral Erich von Richter. After talking with him and discussing my own time in the Rheinwehr, I believe I may have even served with his father early in my career, he made a request of me that I was happy to approve. Upon our arrival at Kaiserslautern I presided over a court martial of all three of the commanding officers of the other three battleships, who had miraculously all survived, with the jury made up of both officers from the crew of the Kaiser, as well as a few of the other former members of the Rheinwehr that were on Kaiserslautern.

All three captains were found guilty, with the sentence to be determined by the captain of the Kaiser upon their return to a Rheinwehr facility. As per standard operating procedure when capturing the crew of destroyed Rheinwehr vessels, we offered any that chose to defect a position among the Bundschuh, and the others were taken via a shuttle to first Kreuzberg and then to Bonn where we typically exchange them for prisoners that have been taken by the Rheinwehr that are more sympathetic to our cause, using the local Junkers as intermediaries. I would say about a third of the prisoners agreed to join us, with the rest choosing to be exchanged which included the Konteradmiral.

Having ordered an armed guard on the prisoners until they could be exchanged, I joined the rest of the Blue Uhlan’s crew in the station bar, joined by most of the crew of the Mimir, Luneburg, and the Jotunheim. Upon the bar running out of alcohol, the post battle party broke up, with the crews mostly returning to their respective ships immediately, though from our talks with the other ships all of us are awaiting the return of several crew members from the station. From discussion with the other ships’ captains involved in the combat, I learned that only the Mimir suffered light damage, with all other vessels suffering nothing more than superficial hits.

I would like to personally recommend that the Blue Uhlan’s crewed all receive a special dispensation from command immediately, they all accounted themselves with the professionalism that I would normally expect to see out of a veteran Rheinwehr crew not a relatively fresh crew made up of volunteers from among the various Bundschuh cells, and would recommend that all other crews adopt the same training regimen that the Blue Uhlan has been carrying out. I’ll be attaching guncam footage of the destruction and disabling of all four enemy vessels below to be dispersed as propaganda to the rest of the Platform.

Subject: Von Claussen

Reports from our team deployed on the Elbe carrier we're acquiring from the Technocracy have overviewed what they can on its systems while its being in transit, surveying of critical systems that needs immediate attention has been a priority, we've met delays in getting the vessel from Omega-55 into home territory and you shall be updated when we can secure its next and final movement towards Wolfsburg. In the meantime, this should outline our next steps once we succeed in securing the Von Claussen.

This is where my efforts in the research of new deployable technologies and systems for us to integrate into our arsenal is one of my specialties, production of its components are another matter which would require the involvement of the Platform as a whole, made more apparent with the idea of supporting one of the heaviest vessels we've ever had at our disposal. Logistical support and maintenance of the vessel is one issue that we've already resolved by leasing time out of Wolfsburg to conduct heavy repairs of the vessel once its arrived.

You'll find below a report of our preliminary engineering overview:

Von Claussen Elbe-Class preliminary

Von Claussen

The Von Claussen, as it has been deemed by the Platform assembly, is to be the flagship of the unified Platform with a federated command participated by all it's cells. This vessel is being supplied by Auxesia, how they managed to get their hands on such a frame I won't question. But the challenge of rebuilding the vessel has come under great difficulty, so in hopes of what will be a blossoming friendship, they have offered the vessel for our use as long as we can actually fix it... it's carrier background would suit our efforts well and its overall compact size not only requires less crew to maintain the vessel compared to its bigger Bismark brother, its much better suited for traversing the fields that we reside within and to enhance our mobile deployment ability for a snub-craft strike force in areas far from friendly installations such as the "Hamburg-Texas" aid corridor that lacks any reputable bases for reliable cover.

It's engine is cumbersome and not fit for purpose, I understand the Technocracy reliance to ensure this ship is able to traverse anomalous regions of space but this ship isn't capable for such an expeditions under the flag of the platform and will have to be refitted for wartime use. Prioritizing maintainability, redundancy and efficiency as key factors for its design. Our engineers and research teams of Severne

This ship will also likely host paramilitary command meetings along with being the formal representative vessel of the Platform in the terms of dealing with diplomatic missions with other militarized fighting forces. But this is all being floated in question...

The ship is still in the hands of the Auxesians located in Inverness and its current condition means that it must fly with heavy combat support to delay off any ships getting close to its defense perimeter which is currently inactive. We're already plotting an escape route in question, while the "Hamburg-Texas" corridor is the shortest route it will unfortunately light up everything on the liberty defense grid. Whats been resorted by our intelligence network is that the Vespucci passage is being considered... It will be a challenge to ensure the ship is masked but as long as we can time our screening forces correctly we can respond against incoming threats that are alerted by our passage.

As you can tell, we have our work cut out for us to bring this ship back to active service for our frontlines, the unstable jumphole to Omega-55 still severely limits our capability to supply large amounts but thankfully the carrier design should allow a higher turn around of smaller freighters to unload and return with relative ease... Although this is not an ideal solution to start repairs of the vessel in such a horrific system.

But once we've managed to limp this ship back home, our first objective would be replacing the Power-Core and Propulsion systems as they're the running heart of the ship. Beyond even a method of repair once we've tipped the scales on its shelf-life. Unfortunately the lack of replacement parts for its systems during its time in inverness has resulted in some critical power management systems overridden and components driven over life expectancy Unfortunate to say that we need a full strip and replacement on this system and we may be looking at turning towards some help in sourcing components...

Now, components, not the entire design. The classified nature of the Elbe has left many of its thousands of engineering documents under corporate lock and key, Patents and protections cause a nightmare for anyone trying to reverse engineer and leak its designs as open-source. Although conveniently with the arrival of a advanced prototype vessel, one I want to thank the cells of the Platform personally for assisting in rescuing the XU-001 as it has allowed us to obtain some decisive schematics for large scale projects and advanced technologies, one critical to that are the new Hybrid Nuclear Pulse engine systems that were deployed to the Federal arsenal just before the outbreak of the Civil War.

High efficiency, ease of maintenance for repairs in remote locations, long service capability with minimal downtime,... Usually that's not the goal of generating a profit but we're looking at designing systems people can trust to run rather than an overwhelming power, this new system we're referencing as the Compressed Nuclear Pulse system which utilizes higher compression rations for fuel distribution on efficient burning during propulsion. We're predicting at best a 30% reduction in fuel consumption for comparable output to the large scale VP models manufactured by Daumann, although we'll need to source a reliable supplier for some advanced materials to begin its construction...

As such I've listed the outlying objectives for this vessel below, if there are any hands available to ensure we can fulfil these then please report here if you require any assistance or have managed to secure a path to completion:

■ Contact industrial representatives for sub-contracting of engine component production to begin replacement of the Von Claussen's current system, potential industrial parties are: IMG, ALG, Order.

■ Secure a source of tooling machinery for local production of engine components, preferably with high automation and with no restriction to its software or usage. Contact sympathetic parties, civilian or corporate, this asset is a long-term gain.

■ Establish designs for extensive habitation support for crew deployments, minimizing the stress for said crews during their distant operation zones.

■ Obtain heavy weapon systems compatible with power-core systems, while Daumann produced military artillery would be best, adaptations from allied technologies is acceptable. parties to consider discussions with: ALG, Order, Hessians, Zoners.

Good tidings,

So I have encountered those technocrats on my way back to Sigma-15. One of their leaders named Revenant informed me that CS was kidnaped along with some of their members by the crew of the INS-Subjugator. During the boarding action they were unable to find CS or a person named Lazurite. She did not answer any further questions I had. With the lack of info and his last know position being in the Sigmas we must find him. I am staying in the system to look for him.

And CS if this comm reaches respond.

Subject: Paramilitary Operations

Platformers, I hope you all nothing but the wellness of my heart and my hopes for a better future for all of us under the Bundschuh allegiance, especially in these turbulent times across Sirius for us and those caught between difficult circumstances. But as you know recent efforts in our fight have brought a beneficial turn for the wider Rheinland population but has also given us room to finally maneuver on our political goals again.

The resulting outcome with our fight with the Corsairs have pushed them out of the regions of Northern Rheinland, the coming launch of our mobile carrier the Von Claussen and the rising ability to operate against Rheinland Imperial elements their corporate exploitation will allow Platform operatives and commanders to organize offensive action freely towards our common strategic goals. This message will be giving re-clarification of and developments in Sirius have re-aligned our immediate priorities.

Anti-Corporate Objectives

With our growing support, it's clear that the wishes of people here need to be met and the overall desire of political and personal freedoms is heard loud and clear. The Kaiser oversees a broken state system set on utilizing it's corporate reach to funnel wealth and resources towards New Berlin's elites no matter the cost, this economic policy has affected populations both on the core worlds and outer regions. The Platform has declared these generations-old corporations an enemy of the people and this strategic document will outline their ongoing interests in conflict with the moral benefit of Sirius.

Kruger Minerals:

A mining and refining mega corporation that has benefited from Federal and Imperial government corruption to avoid financial collapse and failure due to its own mismanagement and supported the coup that brought the Kaiser to power. Now their activities are focused in maintaining dominance in the mineral deposits within Rheinland border regions. Their activities in the Omegas have been hostile to local inhabitants and independent miners that are seen as a threat to their influence. Krugers activities have sharply risen in the Sigmas too, likely profiting from the prison labour population on Hammersee for planetary mining, although it's been observed activities seem to stretch to deeper regions beyond Imperial guardianship. The Platform recommends interdiction of their mineral transports and securing resources for refinement and utilisation.

Imperial Shipping:

A corporation that burned the majority of the political infighting building up to and eventually sided fully with the Imperial regime following the civil war, former Republican shipping, Imperial shipping is now the majority import/exporter of the states inter-stellar commerce. This means it handles everything from consumer necessities to advanced parts and equipment transfers and now profits from the demand of cheap Gallic food imports and 'financial and labour' subsidized mineral exports. Imperial shipping has recently been involved in a catastrophic event on Hamburg that saw the destruction of the research campus, the Bundschuh obtained evidence that this was the result of unsanctioned Xeno-technology experiments that cost the lives of many. Imperial shipping has no prior infrastructure interests so this is being observed as a swing of market operations. The Platform recommends seizure of any food, medical or essential commodity supplies for distribution across our civilian population. Operatives are advised to use advanced interrogation techniques on those carrying alien technologies, ranging from ancient Xeno-artifacts to advanced AI technology.

Daumann Heavy Construction:

The biggest and most invested corporation within the Imperial regime, this historical mega corporation has enjoyed uncontested influence within the federal republic, the old and current imperial eras. They have been the kingmaker and corner stone in how Rheinland has shaped it's domestic and foreign policy, responsible for the construction for a majority of Rheinlands infrastructure, and mining and refining operations domestically and abroad, but are now progressing into industrialised xeno-exploitation. They have progressed independently to co-operate with the Core in their butchery of artificial life forms and utilize their 'materials'* for export to other state and special interest parties attempting to gain an unregulated express route in technological advancements before public interests can adapt to the reality of their inclusion. (*I would like to note that while the AI life forms are in our common lexicon as machines or non-organic, they are undeniably sentient in my personal view and therefore the Core are harnessing their proverbial 'bodies' into the integration of commercially distributed 'products' manufactured for profit.) Industrial materials and engineering goods are of target of choice within their logistics trade, and any vessels involved in Core activities such as Xeno-Technology shipments and industry support for the Omicrons is to undergo questioning and their materials seized.

Economic and Social Objectives

Political objectives vary from system to system, the Bundschuh is focused on meeting the needs and requirements of its regional protectorates and populations, the Platform paramilitary are responsible for acting on those aims to maintain supply and support. Whilst the installations of Bruchsal and Kaiserslautern focus on our media, smuggling and paramilitary command operations, our outer region facilities such as Saverne and Bielefeld Base are a key labour and industrial assets that support a combat capabilities all over Bundschuh territory.

Embargo and seizure operations:

As of right now, our northern operations within the Sigma systems now have the breathing room we need. Anti-Corporate action is allowed at the discretion of raiding pilots as usual, but now we have the freedom to target other sources of illicit trade that cause detrimental damage to Rheinlands population.

■Xeno-Artifacts and biological alien materials were a contributing factor towards the Hamburg University explosion and now plays a key part in unregulated corporate research in power domination.

■Harvested AI technologies hold the same potential in the interests of corporations but are a immorally butchered from a species that has yet an opportunity for its sentience to be recognized in Sirius, observations of the AI rebellion against their Core overlords was observed is a lighthouse-signal towards what impending future humanity faces when it adopts unfettered corporate imperialism for its interstellar development.

■Cardamine dependency is another accelerating health issue faced across Sirius and with the various parties involved in the illicit transportation of this narcotic, Platform command has found it difficult to outline a concrete policy due to the varying degree of circumstances one may be in possession of their current amount, therefor its stated that vessels are permitted maximum of 5 units as a personal amount of Cardamine. Any more than 5 units is down to the discretion of Platform pilots, advise to seize if the reason of its transportation is purely for-profit.

Trade and mutual aid support:

Our black market munitions siphoning and trade efforts are in full effect, due to the instability of Sirius and the shrinking availability of arms and munitions for pro-democratic and freedom fighters, the Bundschuh have seen fit to ensure that people have the right to violent protest against oppressive organizations and that they're equipped to do so. Parties have reached out to the Platform to assist in the dispersion of these weapons to the underground Black Markets across multiple houses and regions. What we get in return is cargo and trade that support our critical manufacturing and infastructure, but the arms trade must be selective in who we support to ensure outcomes that benefit Bundschuh and public interests.

■Militant forces on the Carrier Praia require resupply and aid following combat in Pennsylvania to combat Liberty's annexation of Planet Erie.

■The Mollys are still currently fighting the Bretonian government blockade within Dublin but has seen supplies heading directly in the system come under retaliation by the armed forces, police and corporate enforcement but have outposts elsewhere that can help sustain the fragile smuggling network into Dublin.

■Prague is a major population hot spot for left wing-dissidents and revolutionaries following continually bad work practices done by corporations against the interest of its current inhabitants and refugees, the Platform have deemed this a worthy cause to support both for the people and efforts to fight BMM interests in the Omegas.

■Due to the emerging crisis within the Omicrons following Kusari, Nomad and Core offensives that have put the Order in a critical position. We are allowing paramilitary pilots to run munition supplies towards Order facilities to aid them in rebuilding defensive assets against further incursions from state, corporate and hostile lifeforms.

Extra-Stellar Activity Operations

This outlines Platform involvement into anti-infiltration operations in agreement to the Sinclair Protocol and Bundschuh interests, details of these operations are only to be discussed with other pilots involved in 'Damnatio Memoriae' activities through either role or close partnership. Pilots listed with access and independent operational clearance are, Civil Servant (myself), Doctor Forlorn Hope, Advocate, Lebendig, Falke, Felice, Ernst Riemann, Erich Klugmann.

Thuringia:

If its any clear sign of what has happened in the Omicrons, the uneasy truce between the MND and Bundschuh may have publicly returned to hostilities, but 'Damnatio Memoriae' command in Thuringia are not directly targeting MND assets regarding quarantine operations. This is a major realignment to Tennstedt's goals before the Civil War, we know who the common enemy is to all inhabitants of Sirius and a division of our forces in fighting against the agency would likely spell the same results as what the Core and Order faced before an the Toledo & Omicron-Zeta Nomad offensive took place. As our research teams in Thuringia and intelligence sources have concluded that the activities of the corrupted humans in Omega-58 are expanding following multiple extra-stellar events that we can no longer sustain political warfare against Division-16, the focus is now defensive and intelligence operations against the Wilde and hostile alien forces in the system. Although be advised this does not mean MND or D-16 operatives will restrain from attacking Platform vessels, caution still advised if self-defense is required.

Together we stand a chance in fighting these corrupted beasts, but apart, we will see all Sirians suffer if we allow this twisted corruption to develop its evil further.

Rheinland External:

Due to the rising events all across Sirius regarding Jump-Space technologies and ancient alien structures reactivating, the 'Damnatio Memoriae' will be requesting any operatives taking long distance journeys to any other part of Sirius that if their paths cross know sites of extra-stellar activity that they record any developments that may have happened between known reports.
These areas are: Planet Sudbury in Ontario, KOI and Kishiro activities within Tohoku, Planet Jericho within Coronardo. We suspect that these sites are interlinked with the Gotha anomaly in Thuringia.

Omega-58:

Operations concerning this system are still under consideration, please remain aware of any future intelligence or action regarding this system. Due to the proximity of this system within the Suhl, attempted reconnaissance is not advised and will likely result in quarantine protocol breaches.

As per usual, the Platform encourages independent action in towards these goals, if paramilitary and operative personnel are wanting to escalate these with volunteer requests then please consult anonymous command networks for consultation. But in the end, the Platform must have faith in your ability to support the greater Bundschuh cause, I bid you all the best and may we deliver Rheinland its long awaited justice.

This would have been another operational log but I think this has extended into matters of concern that the Damnatio Memoriaeby duty are to inform the Paramilitary council of these escalating extra-stellar events.

I myself had aid duties again to support our allies and own domestic trade, this also helps me keep on top of scouting out activities within the sector, picking up word here and there of whats going on in Sirius. I was packing after a nights rest on Allentown, thankfully the noise isolation on my grendel were enough to keep out the sounds of drunken junkers but I had the call from the New Dawn while I was here that they needed support for evacuating civvilians and combat casulties from Erie. Thankfully sleeping on the ship has its perks and I met with Comma- Siara, Just Siara, current figurehead of the New Dawn.

I figured the security of backroom deals and the presence of the Bundschuh would discourage other parties from intervening as we plotted a route through Rheinland. The team was initially myself in a Grendel, A Bristol passenger ship used as an ad-hoc hospital had been contracted for the job, Tumu-Ra'i-Fenua, that was our primary defense. I in the mean time had packed up enough medical supplies to take along the trip towards Gran Canaria to supply the hospitals with their incoming casualties. Another Grendel under the New Dawn, Hold The Line, had come to support the effort flown by a pilot named Riot, and Siara had taken flight command in the during this time mostly as I had to remain on the wire to listen out for anything the Void had laid ahead for us.

The first leg of the trip went without a hitch, thankfully we managed to get the casualties offloaded on Gran Canaria's transport terminal and we didn't face any interceptions by law enforcement or hostiles. But it was when we were to take shipments of medical supplies destined for Bielefeld's prisoner rescue efforts when the 'Sour Chorus' had decided to intervene.

We've had reports of ships going missing more frequently in the Omegas, turns out we may have become another statistical number if it wasn't for the firepower we brought along... They first appeared near the jumphole leading to Omega-5, two gunships, Oder class... Nothing I found matched any sort of registry ID I could find but the answer of who they belong to came clear enough. The Sour Chorus immediately screeched their war cries, my suit dampening systems were bracing my mind enough to react just like I always have and had immediately actioned a distress call through the Paramilitary Network. immediately they pursued us through the jumphole, I pulled the trigger on my flight controls as quickly as possible, corrupt beasts were after the passenger Liner full of medical supplies and weren't in any means to preserve themselves to fight another day.

Crimson Veil had arrived at this time to assist against the forces of the Suhl, tackling the gunships along with your support craft was a lot easier since she was able to keep them away from the transport. Once those gunships were eliminated and the scene secure of threats, I enacted quarantine protocols,, any hostile life pods were destroyed... along with hopes of recovering their dogtags, I regret deeply their souls were lost to the corrupt chorus and we weren't able to recover the names of the hosts. I want to also endorse Crimson Veil's actions under my responsibility solely... I feel this is her first time performing quarantine protocols and I will be monitoring their well-being closely.

The attacks didn't stop from there, we faced further hostiles in Dresden... While passing the collapsed jump-hole anomaly between Omega-11's and Frankfurt's jump hole route. This time the natural war-forms of the Sour Chorus. Bomber and gunships class forms that were as zealous in attacking the Liner as their corrupted puppets. They must have either used the radiation being emitted from the collapsed hole as sensor cover, or... Have used this weakened fabric of space to traverse to our location. Neither can be confirmed.

We had further interception from Frankfurt, although hostiles broke off nearing Bruchsal... They enclosed to our position before vanishing off the radar, no doubt their pursuit hadn't ceased; they don't retreat without reason. Bielefeld was our next destination and the aid teams had already prepped our shipments of H-fuel for the New Dawn to stockpile for the coming conflict in Pennsylvnia.

As much as I would have liked to call it a day, my sleep could wait once the Militants also had fuel to have a confortable night too, unfortunately my previous instincts were correct... A cherished curse of having 'Eyes in the Dark', I knew a predators gaze was still hunting in our direction. Bielefield sires were firing off as soon as the cargo had finished being loaded... A Mako class Core battleship, crews were rushing to their bomber wings to keep the thing at back while the rest of the transport escort prepared to move the Liner out as soon as possible. I had made a call to the paramilitary network in the meantime to request the immediate deployment of the Von Claussen. Much at the Saverne's dock master's request that the weapon systems be tested first.

Bruchsal was our next checkpoint before moving to pick up munitions & arms at Kaiserslautern... But that Core battleship had not given up pursuit. Falke of the 'Damnatio Memoriae' had their specialists onboard the Von Claussen as part of rotational command at the time, the Paramilitary had agreed to the emergency deployment of the Von Claussen to support the convoy, and the Dockmaster will be happy to know a majority of weapon systems combat performance was within effective levels. The Mako was destroyed, scene was quarantined and we had to prepare the convoy to move towards Kaiserslautern.

Once we hit New Berlin, course had been set for the station which... Was also under attack by the Sour Chorus. They were determined to hit us at every corner possible... Rise and repeat, quarantine and move. DM commanders were affirm that these were all compromised hostiles at this point. Kaiserslautern had loaded the munitions and arms at speed to keep us on the move, we could keep this sort of activity within New Berlin as Imperial forces would pick up on the commotion.

Hudson didn't bring any good encounters either, waves of bombers and a pair of Scylla class cruisers were again attempting to halt our path, even the Von Claussen took so scotching to its shell that it'll likely need some field repairs on its outer hull armour. Pensylvannia too was met with rough space, infected forces even summoned a siege cruiser to tackle us in this home stretch. My vessel at this point had its own damage-control systems to thank it at this point, the upper starboard engine took a hit from hostile bombers and glances from the cruiser defense guns that the injectors choked and starved the engine. The other three compensated and allowed me to keep range on the cruiser during its turns to keeps its shields depleted. The Von Claussen made short work of that weaponized baton.

But something was off, distress calls were made system wide before the destruction of the cruiser, turns out it was calling out the under the guise of them being part of the local occupation forces... The Navy in response attempted to intercept us at Allentown where the Fuel was to be distributed.

Thankfully unlike those beasts, they still have a chance to falter and err as humans should... We made quick work of them... Too quick I think, some of us were still carrying the instincts of the Sour Chorus being the ones on the hunt.

At that point after some words with Siara of the New Dawn... I suppose I called it a night, sleep was rough again but I had an hour or two so I could send this report off. I'll also be hoping to discuss this situation further with the New Dawn as these hostilities will also concern their own block runners who attempt to follow similar routes.

To those of the Paramilitary command, if this is the new norm we are going to face in our operations, I beg you not to let them discourage you, carry on our fight and we will prevail. As per the agreements of the 'Damnatio Memoriae', we will serve as your defense against these beasts.
