Southern Unioners are encouraged to remember that the average Unioner's literary age is roughly analogous to a twelve year old on PCP, and are encouraged to avoid engaging in difficult subjects, and are suggested to stick to familiar subjects, such as the market value of cardamine, bundschuh-based footwear puns, and the general terrible quality of life aboard wedel mining station.

Have a glorious day, Comrade user. - Unity, your resident Neuralnet VI.

Spyglass battleship UN|SLF-GEIST Sirene, on patrol in the Cologne System.

"I am Admiral Schultzky of the freeship Siren and her flotilla. The title is functional, not a military rank - the Union carries no military ranks or uniform. I'm the Union authority for strategic safeguarding in the Liberty Theatre. "


"I understand our respective representatives have indicated that we have been working ceaselessly to expand our area of continuous operations to Vespucci. Bering has distracted from these operations as the relief effort has been prepared. Now that there is nothing preventing the evacuation of Pacifica except food supplies and sundries, we can begin planning for a post Bering theatre. This puts our operations beyond the realm of negotiators."

"The Unioners have the Separatists on the rear foot. Prominent Separatists such as Captain Blackwings have shown a willingness to negotiate. Mercenaries dispatched by the Separatists are consistently shot down. The trade of resources is positive and their blockade is fluctuating. The conflict is far from decided, but the Seperatist motivation for the conflict - to push the Union from the Tanner Belt - is now strategically impossible. It is my duty to keep it that way by preventing Legionary reinforcement - most fortunately, The Legion has not yet reinforced the Separatists with their own expeditionary group."

"Your efforts in Vespucci are to thank for that. The Legion's failure to quash the Atacama cohort has forced them to regard Bering as a secondary theatre. I'm in the process of assembling a strike package from the Bering relief forces to sally out to Texas - to head out as deep as Chisos. The Legion six months ago were harassing Junker operations in the theatre - they seem to believe that the Junkers will offer themselves as a staging ground to us. I intend to deepen their belief, using this contesting strike as evidence."

"Whilst Chisos is contested, the true advance will commence."

"The true force multipliers that will extend our range into Kansas will be domestic Unioner assets. Two Bayern retrofit fortress battleships, retrofitted into Unioner Hammer-class fighter tenders, are the centrepiece of the advance. Direktor Frei has exhausted considerable goodwill convincing the Hamburg and Cologne cells to part with their most valuable assets. Useless in the Tanner Belt, they will prove most effective in the open orbits of Kansas. Each battleship contains a force of approximately two hundred Solidaritat bombers and Arbeiter space superiority fighters, crewed by volunteers from the Southern Rheinland."

"They will jump into the expanse of the Overland Park asteroid belt, surveiled by several months of Unioner advanced recon patrols, then immediately deploy fighter wings. The casualty rate on said patrols have been high, but they have created an extensive map of the surrounding region. Additional fuel drops and strike craft replacements will be jumped into the system by the Sirene, the retrofits made to this vessel in aid of the Pacifica evacuation carry equal utility in mounting an assault on Legionary home space. Our vessel is the ace in the hole - equipped with an experimental cooling system spawned for the Union's jump drive development program. It will allow us to send in reinforcements even if the Chisos offensive fails and the strike group is encircled. The Legion will have no supply chain to assault, no weakness to exploit within our flanks. They will be forced to stand, or retreat, to the orbit of Topeka."

"We estimate it will be no less than a month before the first Unioners torpedoes impact America, no more than a month and a half before the first Unioner strike craft reach Vespucci."

"The Union is prepared to bring a total of half of the Legion's total strike forces, however we expect that they will have superior equipment quality in most cases along with superior unit cohesion. The Union will demand evidence of shared success before it details additional warships to the Liberty borderworlds."

"Locklear does not know it yet, but this is the closest the Legion has come to fighting a home war since the last days of the Vespucci Triurmivate, exactly ten years ago. The final fuel dumps are being pre-positioned as we speak, the first squadrons crossing the Tanner. "

"It was the Legion who bombed Pacifica, but four months ago. The Separatists were complicit, but they did not promote act either. We intend to advance until our forces are depleted or the Legion's military infrastructure is damaged. We have waged a limited war against the Separatists, I have a total war mandate against the Legion - Oders and the prototypic Aktivist modular gunboats, designed specifically for the coming campaign, Arbeiters to Sichels, Solidaritats to Senses, Hels to Donaus, Bayerns to Spyglasses, antimatter to nuclear, all resources have been placed into the push."

"I'll be sending strategic updates over this channel as events develop. Strategic guidance and strike co-ordination between the Cohort and the Union are welcomed."

"Ucagleon's burning, commanders. It is our duty to fan the flame."
