Right lads,
Just a heads up 'ere.
I were zippin' doon th' lane twixt Houston n' New York gate, an' this daft Rheinlander drops yon lane roight in me face. I dinnae take long 'fore 'e threatened me an' engaged, with lil' or no parlay whatso'er.
'Ere's me comm logs...
Now, while this rotter were dispatched easily enough, it signals a disturbing trend, an Oi fear more patrols o' Beaumont wil be neccesary to ensure these Rheinland Raiders (who th' 'ell are they anyway? Ne'er heard o' them!) arenae usin' our bases fer refit.
Also, best be sure them's nae pokin thier noses into yon 'Rico, aye?
Oi've instructed me lads ta be more vigilant, an' Oi'd 'ope ye lot do th' same.

Too bad for him then Finn, looks like you should be getting payed by Liberty for doing the Navy's job
instead of getting setup by the Liberty Navy who are helping them in & out to kill civilians!
Look what i saw in the news today. Liberty helps RR escape, Navy lets RR escape with fleet information
Seems like they have others defending their actions too, we best be carefull, like you say!

Love...who? Can't say I've ever heard of that one. Does Kruger have their panties up in a bunch again?
Unrelated news, I've established contact with the AGS-U, the Unioners. We should move a few supplies to Pacifica, but more importantly, get a few engineers together to discuss a shipbuilding partner ship with them. I'll continue stalling them while a Congressman with more mass-production know how than myself steps forward.

Junkers I need your help. This one is going out to all Junkers. I need to speak with a Junker named Razgriz. It is important that he be located immediately. If you see him, please use whatever means necessary to detain him and bring him to me. We need to chat.

Subject: Unioners and Hello
Hullo everyone!
Pleasure to be in your fine community. I spent a little bit of time running around the Omegas transporting some Beryllium to Kreuzberg as well as Engine Components and Gold to the Corsairs and Artifacts back to New London. Of course, not many people know about that, but oh well.
After this kind of stuff, I heard about a contract with the Unioners to move munitions, so I moved some Light Arms to Fes and then Munitions to Pacifica base. Here's that, in case it ever manifests into something physical.
Other than that, I just want to say thanks for letting me paint a squiggly J on the pile of Hull Panels I call the LosSnuggleros.

Congressmen,
The Order has taken a little offense to the fact that we banned one of their pilots after he docked at Allentown without permission. Let me re state our policy. We do not like military ships using our bases and we especially do not like ships representing factions who are at war with a house in which our base is located to be docking there. This is not a new policy.
The Order may try to retaliate for this. Please be on your guard.

Boy, it has taken the Order a long time to catch onto that fact. We've been denying those folk our docking bays for years upon years. Heck, I myself once blew up a Hathor o' theirs that was causing a ruckus.
Can't have pilots Liberty has labeled as terrorists strolling through space and landing with their big cruisers and Osiris'. There's just no sense in going to the trouble needed to bribe away their presence.
I do hope we get a large monetary fee if we do allow 'em onto say, Allentown. Or something shiny.

The following transmission is for all Junkers. Furthermore it may be copied and distributed to anyone who inquires about our policies regarding Gallia. This is not now and never will be a secret. The Junkers came from Gallia, we can never hide that. Most Junkers were not even aware of this before the minefields were opened, but it has always been true. It was a secret passed down by the arbiters and those who had ties to the old Gallic families. Our founder was one of those who came from a wealthy aristocratic family of Gallic Junkers. He left us however and left Hannibal Bishop and myself to handle the politics of reunification.
I was born and raised in Liberty. While I still love Liberty, I never liked the fact that you cannot become anything in Liberty unless you want to play by the rules of the big corporations. They are the ones pulling all the real strings around here. Without the billions they bring in, none of this would exist. The Junker way of life is a way to exist outside of all that. It's a way anyone can do business without crawling beneath the corporate umbrella. Nothing has changed about our philosophies and nothing will change. Bishop and I decided early on that we had no desire to be agents in a royal court. The Gallic crown expects us to return home and become their long lost sons. Well they can keep waiting. The Gallic aristocracy that was once a part of the Junker Congress is long gone.
We have not made any formal requests to be doing business in Gallia and we will not be doing so. I'm not kissing any monarch's hind quarters and I can't imagine that any self respecting Junker would ever do so. We will not be aiding the Gallic crown in any fashion. Furthermore, we will not be offering any aid to Gallic Junkers either. This has been a hard decision since they are still brother Junkers. However, they are still agents of the Gallic crown and that is something we can never be. Junkers who leave Gallia and wish to embrace our way of life will be given refuge. However, we will not be going to Gallia anymore to offer them our assistance.
I know some of you have business interests in Gallia. Business is still business and if there is money to be made I expect you will be taking advantage of the situation. Know that if you venture into Gallia, you do so at your own risk. Junkers are used to doing business in dangerous situations and this will be one of those circumstances. I wouldn't be expecting much help from the Gallic Junkers and we will not be bowing to any throne to get you out of trouble.
Please feel free to direct any questions to Arbiter Trenton or myself at any time.
