[RM-MND], BDM| and invited independants.

The small Buro Der Marineintelligenz taskforce moved into the Texas system. Unknown to them, the Liberty Security Force were already scanning the area more frequently than normal, in accordance with the increased security around the buildup in the Texas system.

These regular security sweeps had already proved useful. Three distinct contact signatures had been found, and were believed to be spy satalites operated by the BDM. The LSF were preparing to send forces to pinpoint these contacts, which had been impossible to pinpoint, although they had been isolated to three areas.

This event starts as the BDM force enters the Texas system. The BDM force will be composed as follows.

Wraith Very Heavy Fighter x4 (depending on turnout)
Ragnar Rheinland Armored Transport x3 (required)

The BDM are required to move a Ragnar to each of the spy satalites in turn. These spy satalites will be camera ships. They must stay there for two minutes, in order to complete whatever maintenance needs doing, and to retrieve the hardcopy data.

The data must then be transported back to the Battleship Westfalen in Hamburg. The BDM will know the exact locations of the spy satalites.

The LSF force will consist of the following.

Guardian or Avenger VHF x6 (depending on turnout)

The LSF's objective is to find the spy satalites, and destroy any Ragnar armoured transports they encounter. They may chase any BDM ships into rheinland space if required. The LSF will only know the rough area in which the spy satalites are located, and may not camp jumpholes and gates, meaning they must actively search.

Resolution and outcomes of Part 1

BDM total victory -

All hardcopy data retrieved and landed safely on the Battleship Westfalen. Rheinland forces will analyse the data, and will have an advantage in Part 2 of this event.

BDM partial victory -

Only some data is retrieved. The Rheinland forces will only have partial and sketchy intelligence to work on for part 2 of this event, and thus the event will be evenly balanced.

LSF victory -

The BDM fail to retrieve any of the hardcopy data from the satalites. As a result they will have no knowlege of the upcoming attack, and will not be prepared. The Liberty Navy will have the advantage in part 2 of this event.
