Guten abend soldaten.
We had some visitors in Omega-7 today. As I had a course laid in for the Omega-11 jumphole, I received a system-wide transmission indicating that there was an incident involving two VR vessels, a Kruger escort vessel, and a Rheinland gunboat.

[12.09.2010 22:02:30] VR-VGS-Retaliator: I have annexed this system in the name of the Vagrant Raiders.
[12.09.2010 22:02:33] VR-VGS-Retaliator: Simple as that.
[12.09.2010 22:02:45] Kruger|Delta-05: WAS??
[12.09.2010 22:02:51] VR-VGS-Retaliator: You heard me.
[12.09.2010 22:03:29] [RHA]Roland.Koenig.: You'll have to do better than that mein herr. What is your business here?
[12.09.2010 22:03:45] VR-VGS-Retaliator: Just having some fun, mein herr.
[12.09.2010 22:04:09] VR-VGS-Retaliator: Scaring the locals and all.
[12.09.2010 22:04:21] [RHA]Roland.Koenig.: Not running cardamine or the like into rheinland I trust?
[12.09.2010 22:04:27] VR-VGS-Retaliator: Nein.
[12.09.2010 22:04:41] Kruger|Delta-05: sir they are pirating the Kanzler workers
[12.09.2010 22:04:59] VR-VGS-Retaliator: I wouldn't say "pirating".
[12.09.2010 22:05:04] VR-VGS-Retaliator: I'd prefer to say... "annexing".
I received the coordinates of the incident from one of the VR vessels, and moved in to assess the situation. Limited knowledge of the VR caused some apprehension on how to proceed; they were requesting my assistance should battle commence. Herr Gukel arrived to provide support soon after, but fortunately nobody appeared to be eager to fight and the situation was diffused without bloodshed.
It remains unclear what the Vagrant Raiders true interest is in RHA space. The limited intellgence that I have seen indicates that their business is smuggling cardamine into Liberty. If that is their intention here, we must make sure that such a business model cannot be applied to Rheinland.
