Operation Bärenfalle

[Yber]

Operation Bärenfalle is a protocol instituted by the Rheinwehr in secret which summarizes, predicts and answers a number of possible situations of hostility between the Republic of Rheinland and the Gas Miner Guild.

In the eventuality of the Gas Miner Guild being found cooperating with groups of terrorist nature, the Rheinland Military admiralty will force a meeting with the implied members of the guild in neutral ground. During this meeting the officer in charge will do everything possible to determine any and all ties with the suspected organizations, including but not requiring intimidation, blackmail and kidnapping.
