The Imperial Guard support the actions of the AW and condemn those of the Current ruling Rheinland Chancellor. Unfortunatly due to internal Kusari ruling issue immediate support may not be coming to New Berlin. Due to the absence of the ruling Shogun an acting shogun has been appointed and his intentions are of an uncertain nature since he has opened up High profile talks between the ruling Government of Kusari and the Hogosha. He has stated that due to past relations with the AW if Aid is required it will be given at his consent alone.
"Sir?"
Kreig just sat, silent and immovable. He judged and weighed the options open to him.
"We stay put. Untill the Chancelor comes back, and we know it's her, we stay in hideing."
"Aye sir."
"Sweet infi... That was quick."
Kane sailed past entire fields of debreis. The coup, while sucessful, seemed short-lived. The AW responce had been quick and overwhelming.
Kane thought he should be happy, but something held him back. He snarled and spat on the floor. "What a waste. Rhinland's weak now. Any of the other houses, if they make a real push, Rhinland would compleatly dissolve. The only thing stopping them is the AW 'Heros' and they're in this for themselfs! I wouldn't be suprised if they set this whole thing up. It's certainly beniffiting them!"
Kane paused. "What if they DID set it all up? Oh man, that's a real comforting thought!"
Dogzard whined, also none to happy with the current situation. Kane sighed and rubbed Dogzards head-fins. "I know. Not a lot we can do though..."
Bing.
"Wait a sec... The economy is boosted by traders, right? Hell, if I just stick to my normal route, i'll get rich AND help Rhinland! Hull Panels and a lot of other things are going to be reeeeal popular trade items now!"
Kane laughed and rubbed his hands together. "I'll see my beloved Rhinland restored to it's former beauty my own way!"

We seem to have a connection to the GNN, though our station has been destroyed. Partial order has been restored to Rheinland yet battles are still being fought throughout the sector. The AW have taken control of all of Rheinland except for Frankfurt.
The Rheinland fleet is decimated, either destroyed, defected, or exiled.
We will try to keep you updated as the situation develops.
Well the GNN systems have been overwelmed by the reports in from Rheinland Kusari and and about the AW, but we have heard no news or reports from Liberty, Bretonia, or the LR and TG from the Taus. We don't know yet what their stance on this issue is or if they even have one. We at the GNN urge the houses and the other guilds to state their intentions, if for nothing more than to quell our curiostiy.
::Begin Transmission::
It seems a signal has been decoded and sent to us from an anonimiuos source. We are unsure of the validity of the transmission but we feel it is crediable enough to announce. Here it is.
::Begin Transmission::
All Kusari fleets and Battle Wings except system guard units are to report to New Tokyo and Planet Kyushu Immedietly for updated orders... ~noise fuzz~ ...an 34B has now been enacted all military leaders identified in this order are to report to their assigned posts and systems for... ~noise fuzz~ ...Shogun has announced a need to protect Kusari interests and resources... ~noise fuzz and clicks~
::End Transmission::
Well that seems to be the end of the transmission and... Hold on... it seems we are being hailed by Kusari Destroyer Samuri III. We must stop our broadcast it seems and go... (shouts can be heard in background and then a sudden burst of gunfire) End Transmission::
Today the Collected ruling bodies of Kusari space have decided that the TG and their territories are to placed under Imperial Guard space. The resources of these systems must be aquired since Bretonian companies have been monopilizing the resources of these sectors, and the tactical uses of these territories for possible invasion into Kusari space must be neutralized. I am giving all non-alliance members 1 week to remove themselves from the TG controled TAU systems. The factions not allied to the IG will be forcefully removed at the end of this time frame when the IG moves its fleet into positions to occupy the territories.
Kreig was tired. Not of the Unioners, they provided a little income from Manhime Station. Not even of the AW essentially 'taking over' his beloved Rhinland. It was the sitting here and waiting that really got him. And when Fleet Admirals are fed up with something, someone usually dies.
Vakklus' newest falgship sat over New Berlin. A proud ship, freshly constructed and manned, also having just finished combat with some of the AWs fighters. Then, another Battleship emerged from the Tradelane to Frankfurt. All turrets opened fire upon the Flagship, pounding it's shields with acid green plasma. Missile after missile slammed into the ship as well, sending the reeling crew to the deck. The newcomer never really slowed down.
Kreigs shields were still fully functional, while the Flagship's was not. It looked like the ship nudged it, but when something that weighed more than any other ship in Sirus ramms another at around 90... well, physics works.
The flagship quite suddenly looked like one of those cars you see in the 180 MPH head-on collisions, while the newcommer was unharmed. The flagship went down in burning glory... Then exploded in a gigantic green fireball of plasma and radiation. Yet more molten metal, cooling fast, to be picked up by the Junkers.
Then, and only then, did the newcommer open communications.
"This is the RNC Kreig! We are here to reclaim Rhinland in the name of the Honnorable Chancelor Samus! I will be acting as the Fleet Admiral, untill the Chancelor is returned. Martial Law is now in effect! All military ships, you may either profess your devotion to the Chancelor, or face immediate termination. All RM ships are hereby recalled to Rhinland space. Unfortunetly, we will be closing our borders to all other factions. Freelancers and Traders are still allowed.
Concerning the AW; We appreciate what you have done for Rhinland. However, we'll take it from here. You are still allowed withing Rhinland Space, but the RM will be starting to transfer leadership. However, you, and only you, are allowed within Rhinland Borders. None of your allies are allowed in. I'm sorry to say it, but I don't feel like taking any chances with outside factions.
Again, the coup is over! I, Fleet Admiral Kreig, have declared Martial Law in all Rhinland Systems. All RM ships are to report to Rhinland Space immediately! Rhinland is closed to all factions, except the AW. Rhinland will remain under Martial Law untill Her Honner the Chancelor is returned alive and well.
End the transmission."

Quan Lea opened the door to his 98th story pent house and set his scan card on the table inside the door. He stopped for a minute, his head hurt from all the thinkning he had been subjected to today. The coming war, the resistance to his proclamiation, and the job of dealing out orders to all his commanders. He rubbed his brow pinching between his eyes for a second and then made his way to the liquor cabinet he keeps behind his old Samuri statue modeled after some great unknown warrior from the old earth era. He pulled out one of his favorite brandies imported form Planet Manhatten days ago and poured it into a small glass sitting on an ornate glass plate. Slowly he poured the liquid then set it aside and made his way to his favorite chair in front of his Vid-Screen displaying the image of an old Buddist monastary.
"Imperial Commander Lau-Ming." He states flatly at the screen.
The screen makes a few short low toned beeps and then shows the picture of the Battle ship Tokyo Defender V in orbit of New Tokyo. The image of a beutiful woman looking down fidgeting with her military uniform displays on the screen.
"Good evening Shogun Lea. How can I be of service this evening?" She quickly responds in a militeristic yet slightly nervious tone.
Quan slowly sips from his glass then sets it on a small dark wood end table next to his chair. He then leans forward in the chair the whole time never removing his dark green eyes from the image on the screen. "Commander Ming I need you to see to the coordination of the first wave into the Tau systems. Make sure you make contact with our informants on freeport and Planet Harris by 23:00 hours tomarrow evening for updates on enemy ship placement and see to the deployment of the military vehicles in case resistance becomes heavy on planet Harris. Finally contact Commander Ling and see that he gets hold of our "friends" in Rheinland about obtaining more Military Vehicles for our reserves in case things go sour with our ground forces. Is everything clear Commander Ming?"
Quickly Ling snaps a salute and barks "Yes Shogun! All will be taken care of, You can rely on me sir."
"I hope so." Quan replies "Have a good evening Commander I'll be inspecting the fleet in three days time. Vid screen off"
The Large Vid screen goes blank and then the image of the Buddist monestary returns to the screen with samll sparrow like birds flying between the pink petaled trees. Quan sits back in his chair and takes a large swig of the remaining brandy then sets the glass back on the end table. A sigh escapes his lips as his eyes close and he begins to drift into his uneasy slumber for the rest of the evening.

Commander, you are ordered to alter course and make best speed to Planet Denver, Colorado System. We have reports of a possible threat in or near the Colorado System. You will be joined by our newest battleship, but she will not be ready for some time.
Your orders are to patrol the two jumpgates leading to Galieo and Kepler. Engage any hostilities, and make sure that no Imperial Guard, Asgard Warriors or pirates are found in the system. If you find any IG or AW ships, use caution. Order them out of the system and if they refuse, you have full authorization to open fire.
More orders and information will be forthcoming. Included with this transmission is a classified file from Inteligence Operations. It will explain the situation throughly.
SFHQ Out.
