Guten Tag gentlemen,
These seem to be interesting times.
Republican is distressed that our sister corporations are being plagued by these miscreants. As such, we wish to offer our assistance in this matter. Unfortunately, Black Talon is woefully understaffed at the moment, so we must render other forms of assistance.
From some of the evidence we have seen and heard, these IMG pilots are funding themselves through the sale of illicet Cobalt Ore.
To our knowledge the only place Cobalt can be properly refined is at Republican's Ingolstadt Station.
Pass along any pilots suspected to be working with these pirates, and we will blacklist them as promptly as possible. In fact, a Vice President or two have stated that they are willing to blacklist all IMG vessels until the Guild get a grip on their pilots and ships. We will see if it is necessary to get to that point, although personally I hope not.
To reiterate, any vessels suspected of working with these IMG pirates, whether IMG or not, will be blacklisted from Republican facilities. Just provide us the proof.
In addition, if the Office of the Kanzler see fit, Alster will produce two extra Rheinland Gunboats, at cost, for your organizations. One for Kruger, and one for Daumann, with the caveat that they never be used against the other, or any Rheinland Corporation vessel. I know that things sometimes get, how shall I say it... tense between you two.
If there is anything further Republican can do to help our fellow Rheinlanders, let us know.
Be Profitable.

Having Republican in our side is excellent news! We are very thankful for your assistance.
The Board of Directors will compile all the evidence we have and submit it. Unfortunately our pilots usually jump into the fight to assist Kruger and forget to take adequate pictures, so our evidence is somewhat... Vague. Luckily Kruger has some strong and clear pieces of evidence and I'm sure they will be submitting them anytime soon.
As for the gunboats, we greatly appreciate your offer, and we can assure we won't shoot each other with them, however we have asked the RMHC to give us access to a few military craft and so far they have denied, except for two wraiths currently operational; however we'll ask them again.
Finally, should the Black Talon come fully operational, the BoD has stated that you are welcome to use Briesen facility as a base and staging grounds.
Again thanks for your offer to assist us and if there is anything we can do to repay you let us know.

Michael Richter,
I beg your forgiveness, the delay in my response was unavoidable. I am working out of Elbich Station and we are currently having some communication problems. I look forward to when this whole rebel IMG situation is handled, I very much miss my office on Essen.
Most of the rebel ships have not been spotted now for a day or so, but my gut tells me that they will be back. They could possibly be planning something even bigger, and if so, we want to be ready. I am currently supervising a rebuff of all Elbich's defenses.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your courage and honor, strong noble blood must flow through your veins. When it all comes down to it, we are all sons and daughters of the Vaterland, and we must look out for each other. No matter how tense it gets, we cannot forget what really matters.
I will be forwarding our most up to date list of the rebels, though their numbers seem to grow every attack. Some evidence is quite clear, but some is circumstantial. We have ample witnesses to back it up if needed, but only on request. If we get any more intelligence regarding these rebels or any additional supporters we will update you.
As for the offer of a Gunboat at cost, well, that is more than I expected. Even at cost, that would stretch Kruger's budget to near breaking point, but I have some very creative accountants working for me. We could possibly make it work, though we still would need Military permission or the Kanzler's direct blessing. I will immediately dispatch lobbyists to start working in Kruger's favor. It will be tough, but it just may work out.
I would like Republican to know that Kruger will never forget this, and if Republican ever needs anything of Kruger they need just to ask. I would like to thank you on behalf of all my men and their families. If time allows someday, we should get a beer Herr Richter, I bet we both have some great stories. If any news surfaces of the rebels or any progress on the gunboat I will be in touch.
Gustav Albrecht
