Comrades,
I had quite an interesting experience on the trade lanes of Texas today. I ran into a Interspace Commerce ID'd transport named cheetah20 heading from Rheinland into New York. Oddly enough, this IC ID'd transport, piloting a Rheinland ship of all, was using a rather inconspicuous name, perhaps to conceal the fact that even while at war, the Liberty corporations see no reason why trading with the enemy is bad. All in the name of profit.
But that isn't the intersting part, nor is it the reason for this communique. The transport was carrying Unioner pilots as well. For whatever reason, this galavanting corporate lackey held four of your comrades in his hold. I try not to think of the horrors they would have endured within LPI's prisons. I ordered the trader to halt, but he attempted to flee, never responding to my commands. I would have allowed him to live had he just handed the pilots over, but it seemed fate would have me use force.
Luckily, all four Unioner pilots escaped harm as I ripped his hull open. His cargo, nothing but luxury food was floating in space, so I had an idea. With the pilots safely in my hold, I tractored whatever food there was and quickly made my way to Pacifica where the pilots were reunited with their families, and the rest of the base could enjoy fine food at the expense of Interspace Commerce.
I will follow with visual confirmation of all of this, but unfortunately, my gun camera seemed to corrupt the full cargo scan.

Guten tag,
At first, I must inform you that I am not part of the Alster Union, but I am indeed an Unioner sympathizer, and a Blood Diamond smuggler for the Unioners. I only respond since this channel seems to lack any reaction from the Alster Union.
Thank you very much for saving my friends, my comrades, my wingmates. There isn't a great number of Unioners, and as you know, ships can be destroyed but repaired, but not human lives. We care for each of our sympathizers as much as we care about our own life, and never the Unioners will ever be able to thank you correctly. If there is anything I may do for you, please contact me in space, or via Private Message system.
Also, feel free to contact the Gelbes.Elend whenever you want. You have a friend in me,
Karen Voss, Kaptain of the Unioner Train ''Gelbes Elend''.

Herr Lachlan, we received your transmission and we applaud you. It is always a pleasure to hear that we have allies in Liberty and in this current situation we are certainly going to need every help we can get. Continue the good work Herr.
It appears that Interspace has declared war on the Unioners.
Last night while on a patrol in the Texas system i noticed a suspicious Interspace Ship heading to Rheinland, i tried to halt the ship but he did not reply, i managed to detain the ship, with him trying to engage cruise engines multiple times, before i demanded the release of the 4 Unioner Pilots, he once again didn't respond and renewed his efforts to flee.
One of my Wingmen came in and helped to take down the fool who attempted to fight back, however his efforts were in vain and he was destroyed.
I rescued the pilots, headed to Pacifica and returned them to fight another day.
This must be stopped, Interspace has gone too far and must be punished...
The evidence is clear, Interspace is effectively declaring war on the Unioners...But these brave souls will not have to stand the torment of being in a Cell, instead they are now free men who will fight again.
