Right, I just got a communication about (A)utark vessels being roughed up. Let me make this clear- unless anyone has found glaring evidence to the contrary, (A)utarks are not affiliated with Rheinland. They have, as far as anyone can tell, done a great service to us in replicating Rheinland ships, which, since the entirety of Rheinland actually wants them dead, we can study to help prepare defenses against anything that should come our way. DO NOT TREAT (A)utark AS HOSTILE. They can help us, don't push them away.
They also purchased Nomad Licenses, don't fuss about that either...
