We have recently seen the rise in a new type of Merc operating within the Hessian Omega 7 quadrant, the SMP| seem to be attacking hessian forces all over the system. They appear to be of Gallic origin but details are sketchy! However their intentions are clear as they seem to be allying with Kruger| operatives and collecting bounties on their behalf. These Frogs cannot be tolerated any further, which brings us to our query we put to you:
Have you the IMG| Granted these SMP| Frogs docking rights on Freistadt / any other IMG base?
If yes then we request you deny them docking facilities immediately as Omega 7 cannot be a safe haven for these dogs to operate in!
To all other Hessians it seems you have lacked presence in the Omegas as of late and we need your help to push these fools back.......

Greetings Captain Panthera.
I am Guild Master Alan Smith and temporary commander of Freistadt. It seems the IMG does not have any records of your group. So, let's start from the basics. Before you start demanding things.
We are the Rote Kupfer, a newly formed wing of the Red Hessians that concentrate attacks within the Omega 7 area in a bid to halt the export of Hessian Copper by unallied vessels, we have been running alongside the Rot Front for some time now.
I am sure you have seen our ships around, tag - RK|?
Also we provide protection for IMG| and associated vessels to ensure the undisrupted flow of profits to our pockets of which these SMP| and Kruger| so greatly threaten.
Further more we do not make demands of you, simply a request that if said SMP| are using your bases that you deny them further access.

La Societe Militaire Privee works indeed for the IMG and has access to all IMG installations throughout Sirius. In the Omega region to be exact, they kill Corsairs on behalf of the IMG. If we block their access to our bases, then they will stop killing Corsairs, something which will not be favorable for the Hessians as well. On the other hand, Omega-7 has 2 other close bases where they can land, therefore even if we accept your request, it won't significantly affect their attacks against you.
Captain Panthera, I hope you understand that it is for both IMG's and Red Hessians' interest to keep them landing on Freistadt and working on Corsair bounties.

If I may interject, I think it would be prudent if you understood our position here. A hired goon squad of foreign mercenaries makes their camp on Freistadt base from which they launch in order to hunt our forces down - something we then have to deal with and devote resources to, instead of for example curb Kruger operations or defend independent miners from any Corsair raiders or Kruger/Daumann hired killers who manage to make it into the system from Omega-3 or wherever.
If those SMP plan on continuing to attack Red Hessians in the Omega systems, we'd very much appreciate it if you told them to go back to killing Outcasts in Tau-23 instead. We can handle the Corsairs and certainly don't need a greedy bunch of war profiteers to step on our toes working with the Rheinland Military behind our backs while we conduct war operations against far more dangerous enemies. Never mind if this squad actually proves to be a potential fly on our backs that we will need devote forces and energy to, to swat. It is counter productive and does not serve the Volksrevolution nor our mutual alliance against forces who'd wish to turn Omega-7 into corporate owned space.

Thank you Major Hoerst for your intervention. Even if I haven't seen any documents about SMP| yet, I understand your concerns.
We both know that if this group stops camping Freistadt, it will camp Elbich or Briesen. If they stop basing of Freistadt, they would use the other 2 bases, which are even better positioned in the mining fields. It is clear that it is something which we cannot control. Something which won't also give you any real tactical advantages.
However, even if this restriction won't produce any real advantages for the Volksrevolution, it will surely create issues with Rheinland since they will see IMG banning one bounty hunter and mercenary group after another from its bases. In the end, they could actually use it as an excuse to capture Freistadt with force and put more pressure on the Omega-7 system.
Major Hoerst I hope you understand that at the moment the Guild cannot afford to publically support your cause by taking such decisions. Restricting the access in IMG bases to a much more threatening enemy of the Volksrevolution, like the Emergency Defence Group Enterprise, is enough for now. Of course our great desire to secretly support your cause in any way remains unchanged.

The issue, Herr Smith, is that this particular group works for the IMG, and isn't just some passing troupe of clowns that will uproot themselves the moment their ranks are slightly thinned. They get killed on this front, and they will finance new ships and recruits to attack us again from IMG money gained on another. We know this, because we pay to be well informed of Outcast progress by those people that we hire to do our dirty work for us. Doesn't this make you wonder?
So once again I would ask for you to control your hired guns. Do not think of us as fools, Herr Smith. Herr Henderson, your predecessor, offered us the respect of treating us as equals and as protectors. We would prefer it if you continued his legacy.

Our "uncontrollable hired guns" Herr Hoerst have only claimed 9 million credits which was the destruction of 2 Legionnaire Gunboats. That was their only claim and to prove that, I provide you access to their entry in the IMG Database and to their only claim. Your sources have probably lied when they told you that they made a fortune working for us....
And since we are talking about hired guns, I'm sure you know that up until recently the Mandalorian Mercenaries were assasinating Guild Members on behalf of the Outcasts. Judging from their activities in the Omegas, they must have made hundreds of millions of credits while working for your Bounty Board.
Herr Hoerst, I am not aware of your discussion with Mr Henderson, our Dublin Coordinator. However you are free to ask your comrades if Guild Master Smith is a person who respects his interlocutors and supports the Volkrevolution from the bottom of his heart. With all due respect, I know if a decision serves our common interests or not and you should know that the IMG will publically support you when the time comes, as I already informed our Rot Front allies.
* a tall man with short black hair appears On your screen*
If i may be so free? I'm vincent and i've got first hand proof of SMP actively hunting down and attempting to destroy hessians. you say they arent paid to hunt us? you say the MM are paid to hunt you by the OC?.
Well here's my point of view: if herr Hoerst stops paying the MM, than surely the OC will still pay them. However the SMP is mainly funded by the Guild, if money were to dry up than surely They'd have no other choice than to be good lil doggies and return to that vile abyss they came from.
Yours sincerely,
vincent, fighter for zhe hessian cause
A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever
To accept anything on trust, to preclude critical application and development, is a grievous sin; and in order to apply and develop, “simple interpretation” is obviously not enough.

Your attitude towards this problem brought up by RK leaves us puzzled. Perhaps denying docking permissions to the gallic mercenaries nobody ever heard before could really bring the attention of Rheinland to you, perhaps. That has very low possibility, but some kind of it exists. So, technically, you could see yourself slightly weakened around Omega-7, especially since those gallic mercenaries work for you around Taus.
However, when you ask us to deal with pirates attacking you, you do not ask us if those pirates also attack our enemies. They usually do. And even despite their help with our fights with Rheinwehr, we still value you more. Obviously, that slightly weakens us, but we still value you more. The question is, do you really value those mercenaries, employed by Kruger no less, fighting us alongside the Kruger gunboats, more than us, Hessians?
And please, do not talk about Rheinwehr trying to capture Freistadt because you deny the mercenary rights to dock there. Just a few months ago they had much better reason and actually tried to do it. Shall we remind you who stood together with you in Omega-7 defense and who still fights them there daily, not letting them amass any kind of significant force in the system?
The promise to voice your support one day is really nice, but still, a promise is a promise. As ancient philosophers said, acta non verba. And the last time we got a definite conditions to make "acta" possible, well, you didn't really act when we fulfilled them. What those ancient philosophers also said is - verba volant, scripta manent. We could use something clear and concrete instead of "when the stars are right".
This wasn't even the request to hunt them together. The mere denying those Kruger-employed mercenaries the docking rights on Freistadt would be fine, if only to show them the door and denying supplies and one staging point. Perhaps that would not hurt them too severely, but that would prove a point.
Imagine your reaction if we said, for example: “Sorry, we know those Rorry’s Renegades shoot you and pirate you and plunder, but hey, they are useful to us on the Rheinland Military shooting front. And they could use other bases around anyway, Freeport is just one system away from Omega-7, so that wouldn't make a difference. Oh, and those Heap of Trash guys? Well, they shot corsairs once. We can't really shove them off. And what about Ministry? Jeez, they shot you just one time, come again if that happens daily”.
Why do you hesitate, then? Is that because this channel is way too unencrypted, resulting in even those frogs hacking it? Well, this is the direct transmission which cannot be seen by them. You can explain your problems with showing those who shoot us the door here.
