The Oberkommando has reached a desicion,
As of 17:30 standard time in Omega-3 an S.O.A strike wing flanked and launched a N.E.M.P strike against the Cambridge Jump Gate in Omega-3 to a positive effect. The Volksrevolution will commit forces in the nearby Region to cripple the Bretonian's efforts to completely monopolize the system of Omega-3. Intelligence reports that the Gallic Royal Navy is in cooperation with you in your efforts to maintain Aland shipyard. While this is deeply concerning, the question of a Gallic Victory on the frontlines remains a mystery to our military intelligence given the recent events in the Poole system.
Before I go on as well, you must take note that this will undoubtedly raise suspicion and if not compromise your standing with the Rheinland government. However, the Volksrevolution has a reputation of supporting its allies, and we do not fear the Bundestag nor its corrupt lapdogs.
This plan, under no circumstances, should be publicized or reach the ALG for obvious reasons. Any concerns regarding this plan should be brought before myself or Direktor Kreutzer of the S.O.A. Note that this plan will have a tidal wave effect, meaning our involvement will spike up to an all-time-high, and then thin out to a pace at which we can maintain while securing other possible fronts that may brew up as a result of this.
S.O.A forces and managable fleet assets will arrive at Aland shipyard in a few hours time. ALPHA team headed by agent VIKINGUR will assist you in repelling hostile craft during the bulk of this operation. S.O.A pilots are among the most skilled within the Army and have a reputation to back up as such, just so it is made clear, while there might be few - they are worth far more.
The R.H.B-Kassel and its fleet vessels are currently on hold in the neighboring system of Niflheim, buried within the Walker cloud far away from any federal scouts. The Fleet will be move through Fólkvangr towards the entrance to Omega-3, ready to enter when the patrols have been relaxed - likely when they launch another wave of attackers against yourselves at Aland. The R.H.B-Kassel will proceed through, striking the H.M.S-Gwent via repeated RAGNAROK forward gun volleys until the Gwent is either severely damaged or destroyed. The R.H.B-Kassel will then make its escape through the Vanaheimr Jumphole and back towards secure space for any needed repairs and adjustments. The destruction of the Gwent will have as much a physical impact as it will a moral impact. With the Cambridge gate crippled, the Bretonians will have no more active fleets to base from, only what remains from Sprauge.
The Volksrevolution will attempt to negotiate the situation into one where the Bretonians are no longer involved in Omega-3. And rather towards more Imperial territory for a mutual benefit.
For now, it is imperative you keep up your defensive effort, the spare forces accompanying the S.O,A will bring supplies for your civilian and military personnel. The S.O.A's involvement will be relayed to the ALG, but not the details regarding the Kassel's strike.

I will try to go over our strategic position step-by-step, as your actions are likely to have a profound impact on them.
We were intending on keeping this war at a low scale, with simple defiance to hand over Aland shipyard and subsequent attacks. The Bretonian Crown however, clearly had other ideas, as they now seem to be focusing their war effort increasingly upon attacking neutral Miners in the Omegas rather than defending their besieged capital.
They have abandoned talks hosted by mutual friends and are clearly intent on somehow pulling a victory from their catastrophic situation, but perhaps the time has come to actively prevent that.
Although we never intended it, we now find ourselves reliant on destroying what remains of Bretonian resolve, in the hopes of forcing them into an unconditional surrender or another peace deal that will see us redeemed. We have held out at Aland, and, although the station has suffered damage from attacks, we are in high spirits still and determined to beat back the invaders.
We will commit to this counteroffensive fully, your ships shall have our support, and we will expand our willingness to defend our own holdings in the Omegas to liberating others from the oppression of house occupation. While many guildmembers are born Bretonians, they have left the house for a reason, and it's our opinion that this may be the moment to put the final nail into this wretched house's coffin.
At the moment, all southern Omegas IMG ships are tasked with the immediate defense of Aland Shipyard, considering the frequency and intensity of attacks. But with their supply lines cut off, we may be able to strike back offensively to hasten Bretonia's demise, or perhaps spare manpower to secure our other stations against the treacherous Crayterians, as well as support the Newcastle offensive of the Gallic Crown against Bretonia. At least the Gallics in the Taus never asked us to submit our stations for their warship production.
We will need minute-by-minute updates on the situation, please stay in immediate contact.
Thank you for your support,

Guildmaster,
There is an update you should be made aware of, the technology surrounding the gates and lanes remains eluded to many since it is all owned by a single corporation. Assuming there was any black box device within the Gate, the Bretonians may draw suspicions on an instant. Any minor offensives that can be made to rally the attention of the Bretonians from this point until the Kassel enters the system would prove useful in ensuring this goes about in a more smooth manner.

Guildmaster,
The strike was a success, the Gwent was completely destroyed. That being said, the Kassel suffered greatly in damage from the H.M.S-Norfolk which was stationed nearby anticipating our arrival in force. Because of this, the R.H.B-Kassel was forced to take the shorter route back to Fólkvangr and towards Ronneburg. The situation aboard the Kassel is grim at the moment. Repair vessels from Ronneburg are being deployed to add defensive plating and fix it's main systems, however we will need support from the IMG to completely fix it in a reasonable amount of time.
A list of supplies and materials needed will soon be given by the commanding officers aboard the Kassel. Once it is finished we will have the ship towed out to fix its engine systems.

This situation is developing rapidly, we'll work with everything we have here.
We suggest a feint attack against Cardiff, now under control of the Bretonian Crown. It's a target they may consider sensible for the Guild to attempt to retake, especially if they are assuming we are emboldened by our so-far successful defense of Aland.
It's relatively easy to reach, we will base ourselves from Omega-3 or the Molly base in Cambridge. We will also ask the Mollys to assist us in this diversionary operation, as they have actively asked for specific ways to assist.
As for the Kassel, we are very relieved to hear of the destruction of Bretonia's main fallback asset in the region, and we will make every attempt to send crews and repairs to assist the Kassel. If there's anything specific you need, please let us know, and keep us updated on the strategic situation.
