The Sagarmatha-class battlecruiser Erdbeben, ordered by ALG from the Independent Miners Guild, is preparing to depart from Singapore Shipyards, where it was laid down. The diplomatic part has been taken care of, and permission obtained by the Republic of Kusari, the Gas Miners Guild, and the Federal Republic of Rheinland to move the ship through their respective territories. ALG themselves will of course organize the heaviest escort they can muster to protect their new flagship, while other parties in the area may wish to help or hinder them along the way. If all goes to plan for ALG, the Erdbeben should arrive in Rheinland in one piece ready for duty, and unbeknownst to all but the highest ranking employees, ready to take on Order military advisors ferried off from Bundschuh bases in secrecy.

Other than the ALG battlecruiser Erdbeben and its ALG escorts, anyone that wants to be there except Outcasts. This is not because we harbor oorp hatred against Outcasts, but this is supposed to be more of an RP/light pew convoy and if Outcasts show up, since they do have ZOI everywhere along the route, we could end up with ten Ranseurs stopping the progress of the event.
Bring your Farmers, bring your Blood Dragons, bring what you want to watch the spectacle, RP with us, or have skirmishes with our convoy, but don't bring Outcasts.
This is half-event, half-announcement. It's mostly supposed to bring an end to a process that ended up lasting over a year, and introduce the Erdbeben as a ship to the player world.
