Achtung, meine brüder! As of now, all Unioner piloten are required to leave reports of their daily activities on this secure frequency. High command is beginning data analysis of the faction's efforts in fulfilling our goals. I am personally overseeing the collection of said factual "data".
Let me remind you some of the duties each Unioner is expected uphold, as well as add a few words of guidance for the new recruits:
1) Frequent patrols are to be made of the following route: Bering <-----> Hamburg <------> Frankfurt <-------> Munich
2) Reduce Hessian presence in the above-mentioned systems.
3) Vessels bearing the BHG transponder are to be attacked on sight. Those hunters are still after us, so show them no mercy.
4) Generate wealth to support our cause via any means necessary. All acts of piracy are permitted against all foreign traders and domestic mega-corporations.*
On the other hand, we have reports that the artifact trade is also blossoming.
5) Avoid direct confrontation with the police and military, unless being driven to the very edge or you are absolutely certain that you can take them on.
Also avoid any contact with das Wilde. As you can see these once military men are now nothing more than mindless creatures bent on destroying everything in their wake. There is a high possibility of getting infected.
This is all for now, I expect your timely reports.
Nice to hear from high command again. I've been hanging around on a couple of Junker bases, keeping an ear open in the bars. You won't believe some of the things I've heard. I fly between around Stuttgart, New Berlin, Frankfurt, and Sigma-13 mostly. See you in space, jah?
Guten tag, meine soeldner. Yesterday was very productive. Me and David Giese managed to intercept a corporate train that was heading for a Daumann installation, located in the middle of the Chiemsee asteroid field, Munich. It is heavily defended by DHC patrols and a weapons platform. We managed to skillfully avoid the defenses, trigger the shields, and incapacitate the target. After that it was only a matter of time before the captain submitted to our demands and filled our bank accounts with hard-earned DHC money.
After that we patrolled Frankfurt extensively and caught a few other traders in our trap. The report on those cases will be delivered later by Herr Giese.
After he departed to attend to some personal matters, I decided to make a journey to Bering and inspect the situation there. However, I found myself in a cross-fire between Rheinland lawful authorities and some independent Hessian piloten. I had no options and had to join the side of our former friends. Together we obliterated the militarian fleet and I personally vanquished one of the assisting police officers.
That is all for now. I feel that our movement is finally starting to wake up from its long slumber. Soon we shall re-establish our dominance in the glorious Fatherland!
Rejoice, meine bruderen! Yesterday we intercepted a very important "package". A new diplomat was sent to Kusari from New Berlin. In a join operation with our corsair freunde we intercepted the convoy. The target was aboard the RFP|Chemnitz, a Rheinland heavy cruiser. It was heavily defended by various escorts. The main objective was to capture or kill the diplomat.
The core force of the Corsair engaged the escorts, which provided an opening for our jewel, the Alsterblut. I swiftly rallied the crew of the beast and with the help of the 'Sair cruiser Sola, we achieved success!
Unfortunately, a Hessian cruiser appeared out of nowhere on the scene and launched an assault on the Sola. Although we are currently still holding to our bonds, I made the crucial decision to aid our Hispanic friends, as not doing so would compromise the mission at hand.
Then we were quick to disengage from the fight and ensure the capture of the diplomat. I personally brought him to Krefeld Base, and then shuttled him to Omicron Gamma in a Correro. I bet our amigos will have a lot of fun with this gift.The Alsterblut suffered heavy damage and it will take a few weeks to repair it fully, but it served its purpose well and I am sure it will leave burned mark into our enemies' minds.
I would also like to reflect on David Giese's participation in the operation. He provided valuable recon data on the convoy, which allowed us to prepare better for the ambush. When the battle began, he furiously engaged the enemy and against overwhelming numbers managed to slaughter one of the militarien officers! His spirited actions are to serve as an example of the moral code that every revolutionary should follow!

A bit late, but some good news.
It seems the polizei is fussy nowadays, bad for them. After our little show in Frankfurt with Dariel, they should know, what awaits them. Even against a sluggish fat bomber, they are completely useless and should not considered a threat anymore. It wasn't even challenging, therefore our smuggler freighters should not fear about these strudel eaters, even they could handle them. One way or another, I've informed the Leipheim cell to focus on military targets instead of these easy targets.

'Tag people,
The following is not a report about my daily activity in Rheinland, nor some revolutionary propagand what we hear 24/7, but my point of view about the current situation. You may skip this, but if you decide to go on, you might agree with me and help us.
Our current stance within the Rheinland unlawfuls is what bothering me the most. Of course, I'm not afraid of some "true democrats", yelling their trash about democracy and such, I'm also not afraid of our former allies, the peasants. Our main problem is the Red Hessian Army and it's supporters, not because they're good in any means, but because of the numbers. Let's face with it, we don't have the numbers nor the power to turn against the red beast on our own. While I agree we must work against their operations and increase our group by weakening them, it could go into reverse very easily. Fortunately, the kanzler's forces and the corsairs keep them busy enough to ignore us. We must benefit from this situation.
Instead of open conflict, I'd recommend to re-organize our group. An organized faction with disciplined forces stand a better chance than a bunch of pirates, who even hate each other. I've given the best equipment to my men all the time when we managed to capture a weapon freighter. Unioners around me were disciplined, obedient, in other words: deady. That's why our operations were always successful, the enemy feared us and they kept following me. What I'm saying with this, fellow Unioners are need to be motivated in order to reach our goals.
Also, a closer cooperation between our bases and it's crew is must. All of us know our bases are far from each other, especially the one in Koeln which is in peasant territory, therefore communication is insufficient, not even talking about the possible jamming devices. You'll find a sollution for this, but the Kurator and the 'high command' should consider this: closer cooperation.
That's all for now, I'll contact you once I have some more.
Herr Giese, I have always had faith in your abilities. You are one of my most trusted men and distinguished aces on the battlefield. With regard to this I would like to make a few announcements:
1. a) High command has noted that the organization is falling behind on its initial standards. We are making preparations to launch a training program, which I want you to personally oversee. Each new recruit will have to undergo a severe training exercise to prove their worth. It is true that we are not a militarien organization, but we are are not bunch of randomly flying space buckets either. This initiation procedure will be carried out in the privacy of the Dusseldorf system. The asteroid fields and weapons platforms will serve as some of the challenges.
b) Having in mind point a), after the the training procedures are finished, special combat wings shall be formed. Right now the majority of the Unioners engage mainly in piracy. I envision the new squadrons to be equipped with the latest technology and to posses the greatest fighting capabilities. The purpose of these new wings will encompass a large array of tasks, some of which are: to protect Unioner installations and smuggler convoys, to protect our pirate raiders from the Military and fight off foreign pirates, to conduct assaults on important enemy targets, etc. Each wing will have its own field commander (the best of the best), and one of them will be you, mein Herr.
2. This next one goes out to all Unioners under my command.
a) Just to clarify something out, all pirate raids in general aim to make the enemy bleed, rather than attempt to increase one's wealth. The current factions that we need to send in to the poverty-land are Republican Shipping, Daumann, and Synth Foods. However if my fellow Unioners desire to generate a larger income, I suggest they turn their eyes to our artifact trade. With the prices on artifacts at Crete being lower than ever and the Sirius-wide demand for that specific commodity escalating with each passing day, we could really bolster our economy. The profits are much greater than any type of piracy. Those that are interested should contact me over a S.K.7.P.3 channel do discuss the details.
b) This is the latest update on our diplomacy changes. We will not assaulting any Red Hessian ships any longer. As of right now, High Command has reached to the conclusion that such sort of diplomacy would mean the end of the Unioner organization. However, that does not mean that we will hold our alliance with them true. The only time you'd help a Hessian is when you are fighting the polizein or the militarien piloten of Rheinland. Due to our ever growing freundship with the Corsair, we can allow ourselves a big deal of neutrality when it comes to conflicts between these powers, especially in the Omegas. The Bundschuch and LWB alliance is also something that we must leave behind us. Basically if we were to fight the Hessians, we would be standing alone against every faction in Rheinland. For now, keeping a reserved form of neutrality and friendship with this entities is a must, if we want to survive.
3. Now, as to the current and future purpose of our bases... I will be delivering an extensive explanation on that topic within the next week or so. Until then, focus all of your efforts on reminding everyone who we are and what we do!
I've made some preparations for the upcoming months. The Inner Circle announces it's new orders.
Unioner pilots are to double the amount of patrols in Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg and New Berlin. Soon, you'll receive new equipments in order to hurt commercial trading even more.
Also, a message from our Corsair allies: they need more food on Planet Crete and you are to fulfill this request. Load the transports and head to Crete. Don't forget the artifacts.
