Coordinates provided by you was checked. Cruise liner was detected here. Its ownership is unknown, but it appears to be operational and not abandoned. Reconnaissance was conducted using the "Cloak" technology. Below I have attached footage of this liner.

No markings?
Well, we won’t go any further like this. Even if we attempt to strike the ship, it will simply retreat under Elbe cover.
Anyway, comrades. Situation update.
HWE themselves have weighed in and ordered to keep cargo for detailed analysis, as well as lure out whoever is behind this contract. The situation is highly reminiscent of the cultist activity from a decade ago, so it would be smarter not to give them what they want.
CPS-Rebirth is to unload the cargo at the CBG confiscation depot. Dispatch an engineering team to inspect it.
I know this comes late, but we must be certain it won’t simply detonate the moment we refuse to play their game.

Clark reporting in regarding destroyer Seliger situation. Me and comrade Schwartz have finished inspection of the former Coalition vessel.
As per standard instructions, we have successfully retrieved the following:
Engineering section black box;
Living quarters black box;
Living quarters survelliance black box;
Bridge black box;
Navigation computer black box and memory dump;
Ship commissar terminal;
Ministry of Truth emergency radio transciever;
Complete ship commissar equipment kit.
Schwartz has also found the ship's former commissar remains. The body was laying in the upper locker compartment of the commissar's post, bearing incised wound being either claw marks, or something else completely. Platformers provided us with means to transport the body in a secure container. Elevated security protocols must be in order due to possible contamination if an examination is in order. HWE must be notified of this.
On a side note, there were also some "Platform engineering shenanigans" present that we were softly pressed not to inspect, something of "religious interest". If I am allowed to elaborate, there's something suspicious in there. Must require additional intel to be gathered.

Estemeed Ministry,
The Supreme Council requires the Ministry of Truth to monitor the movement of the Platform cell of the Bundschuh within New Moscow, particularly in the vicinity of, and aboard, the Aralsk Complex, without arousing suspicion.
Regards,
Deputy Seamus Campbell, Sirius Coalition Supreme Council
>Sender: Commissar Victor Clark >Source: Aralsk Shipyard, Omega-52 >Subject: RE: The Platform of the Bundshuch
Comrade Campbell,
Ministry of Truth is aware of possible difficulties that may be brought upon us if we are to allow The Platform into our facilities. Security personnel on Aralsk, Zvyozdny and Zhejiang will be instructed to observe any guests that may visit our bases, and the Ministry will redouble its efforts in maintaining a solid survelliance system.
Regardless of our enhanced security system, the Intelligence has also shown interest in "getting involved" in whatever The Platform is up to, whatever that may mean. The Ministry must make sure that nobody messes up Intelligence's plans. If you are to look into it, I advise you to contact Intelligence directly.
Today during the recon mission in Omega region was spotted a Bounty hunters group in system Omega-5. As result it's turned into a fire. On help against hunter snubcrafts "Aegis|Sellsword", "Bill.Goldberg" and strange yapper "Mesrine", arrived comrades from Rot Front "Befreiung" and Provisional Assembly "Fox-3". Two snubcrafts, with callsigns "Bill.Goldberg" and "Mesrine", was eliminated during the fight. Aegis vessel managed to escape cowardly hiding behind asteroids and throwing insults, like a little pet could only bark.
Below I've provided data from blackbox and footages of this encounter.

Comrades!
I am pleased to report four successful raids on the exploitative, rapacious, and hideously greedy Alliance capitalist trading vessels in the Stuttgart system. Each time Tigris entered Stuttgart at approximately 1900 ship time (to catch the Rhinelanders whilst they were busy eating their wurst). Interdicted lane and inflicted damages and seized prizes as described in action log. No damage was sustained. All vessel escape pods were captured. Innocent workers were provided with ship's soup before transport via Hessians to neutral Zoners bases. No major resistance was given from the Imperial Navy. Lt Cdr Bilibin suggested a more daring strike, given the somnolence of the authorities; we proceeded parallel to the trade lane and exited jump over Planet Stuttgart. We lit the Stuttgart skies with explosions as we interdicted several large train convoys. A marvellous sight! In their lackadaisically mindless confusion some even flew directly into the planet. However, the engineering crew aboard were displeased to note that the sustained fire from orbital defences had overwhelmed ship shielding. Some hull damage was sustained before withdrawal. One casualty: Main Battery Gunnery Officer Frankenstein H. H. Jeltz sustained a broken toe. It was replaced. Booty transferred to Tangier for appropriation as the economic bureau directs. We hope next time the Rhineland forces will mobilise and provide something for the crew to chew on (after all, the soup is very watery). End transmission!

Comrades! It is my honour to serve the SCRA!
I have an intelligence report. On 06/05/836 21:53 ship time, we received urgent communiques from Lt Mephistopheles, OIC CPRV Xorasan, stating several hostile vessels had been sighted in Omega-55. It seems the Xorasan happened upon a confrontation between a comrade Hessian, callsign Linga-J, and the hostile vessels. Hostile callsigns included, at least, BHG-Startaker, WV-Xiphodon, and Parabellum. These accounts, and photography from the Xorasan, indicate the presence of at least two Alliance factions: Bounty Hunter slavers and 'Core' thugs. They had assembled over the Planet Skagen in a defensive posture.
Upon receiving the Xorasan's transmission, I ordered Tigris to Omega-55. We arrived at the rendez-vous with the Linga-J at 21:55. Attack was deemed impractical due to the enemy's defensive posture around their orbital installations, and the enemy did not engage us. Our Hessian comrade, and an unaligned vessel with callsign [III]'Grindylow', both desired that SCRA mobilise to remove these scum and raze their so-called 'prison' installation - no doubt little more than a torture camp and slave labour facility. I have every desire to see their wishes fulfilled in due course.
Linga-J reconnoitred precise coordinates of the Alliance base: -10105 260 21421 Orient 178 -47 -179
