This is Commander Ferdinand von Altenburg, commanding officer of the 'Kauket'
We have been monitoring Rheinland space for quiet some time now and have asserted that the Nomad and Wilde activity in this region of space is rising to alarming degree. Until now we have been operating from Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta, but the great distance to the Rheinland core Worlds makes is difficult to react quickly on Nomad/Wilde related emergencies.
Because of this i am filing this proposal and formal request: I am asking permission to make contact with the Rheinland Alliance (The Red Hessians, the Bundschuh and the LWB). Since we have common enemies with the Nomads and Wilde, maybe it would be possible to gain docking rights at their bases and work together with them in order to drive back any alien invaders. The Order has worked with the Bundschuh before and if i may remind you, much to our mutual benefit. It might be in all our best interest to renew this old alliance to deal with our enemies.
In addition to that we might be able to determine what progress the Rheinland Alliance has made regarding the aquisation of Nomad remains and technology, since they are fighting the Aliens for quiete some time now, who knows what they have discovered so far? If it turns out that they are going to be corrupted by the Nomads as well, we need to be informed and be able to react quickly.
As a former member of the Bundschuh, it hurts me to see how we fight a common enemy but yet ignore each other. I hope that this proposal turns out to be accepted and leading to a successful and and productive cooperation with my fellow countrymen.
" A lot of time has passed since we cooperated with Rheinland and her active , revolutionary parties. It is true that the Wilde infestation has spread within Rheinland , however the Alliance seems to be doing a fine job containing the threat and dealing with it themselves.
Establishing a diplomatic communication with the Alliance holds benefit for the Order. We would have easy access to that part of Sirius and we can closely monitor libertorian activities.
The rest of the High Command should also give their opinion in this matter , but I believe that we will reach a collective decision soon enough and diplomatic negotiations with those groups will begin.
Keep in mind , commander , that the revolutionary parties of Rheinland hold themselves to great standart , they are proud people and I believe that helping them directly , might hinder our diplomatic relations. We will offer them help only if it is needed. "
