Greetings ladies and gentlemen. It looks like our fears about the threat to Rheinland from the Nomads and their puppets were confirmed. Yesterday, my squadron conducted another raid to eliminate those infected in Thuringia, until we found a very large Nomad in the orbit of the planet Erfurt. The creature was very aggressive and did not come in contact with us. It systematically destroyed all arriving ships of federalists and unioners, and when it decided to switch to us, we retreated. I'm afraid of the worst. This combat "form" is the crown of their creation. You can consider me paranoid, but if Ish'Tar appeared in Rheinland, I dare to assume that they decided to take up the old, taking advantage of civil war confusion.
I’m not sure if we can deal with this threat with only a squadron of snubcrafts. In this regard, I ask you for permission to move the battleship of the "Osiris" class under the callsign Naunet to Thuringia.
Snapshots of the creature I am attaching to this post.
The Order Overwatch has debated on the proper course of action.
The Ishtar class dreadnoughts could theoretically appear in any place without warning, though Thuringia appears to be of slightly higher importance than the rest of Rheinland. However, Osiris is still not a direct counterpart to Ishtar Nomad dreadnought and would divert assets from Omicron or Gallic campaigns. However we have an ally in the form of Bundschuh, who had recently aligned with the Federal government. The Feds were not friends of us, however with their proposed reforms prior to the coup, that would not be the case.
Instead of this, we want to tighten relations with Bundschuh and the BDM which we believe is the driving force behind the Federal armed forces. United front would contain Nomads just as well and cost us less, allowing Black Fleet to focus on areas where ‘locals’ are less prone to co-operation.
