Until now, The Guild has actively avoided conflict with the Federal Republic of Rheinland.
Unfortunately, this cannot continue. House Rheinland is effecting an active invasion of rightful Guild space and, as history proves, this cannot go unchallenged.
All non-essential paramilitary operations that do not directly impact the border with Rheinland are to be redirected to the front lines and the Guild paramilitary must now undertake defensive operations against the invaders as they did during the 80 Year War. The Outcasts, Corsairs and Hogosha will of course attempt to infringe on our territory but unfortunately House Rheinland has announced itself as the current most pressing threat to Guild sovereignty yet.
Commanders Watanbe of Okinawa, Garcia of Sigma-17, Takahashi of 19 and Oka of Honshu are to report their force compositions and deployments immediately to determine the optimal assignment of Guild forces to ensure the security of the Sigma systems.
