Konbanwa.
I return from an extensive Intelligence gathering campaign in the Sigmas.

I can confirm Rheinland Military has moved four entire Battle-groups to the front-line. Names and locations are as follows
- Strausberg, Sigma 21 system, approx E6.
- Kolleda, Sigma 21 system, approx C4.
- Westfalen, Honshu system, approx F5.
- Bayern, location unknown; heavily suspected to be positioned deep inside Hiryo Cloud, Honshu system.

As you can see, we were unable to locate battle-group Bayern so far, which is quite concerning. The Sigma 21 system jump-gate construction site might be its next target.
No matter, it might be wise to launch a strike on Battle-group Westfalen, which is currently exposed in open space, while we have three battle-groups currently ready for action in Honshu system.

We have been running surveys in Sigma 15 and Sigma 21 system. Rheinland Military is relying on a quite narrow corridor to supply the front-line, currently going through Frankfurt system / Sigma 15 jump-hole / Sigma 15 / Sigma 21 jump-hole / Sigma 21 / Honshu jump-hole / Honshu.
The most protected area is in Sigma 21 system. It might be commendable to infiltrate strike groups through Gas Miner Guild space - provided we can get agreement with the Guild - to disrupt supply lines in Sigma 15 system of even Frankfurt system, until the four main Rheinland Military battle-group efficiency gets to a dramatic level.
Pushing them back would then be a trivial task.

I stand ready for action!

PS : You can find relevant gun-cams bellow.
PS2 : I would like to commend Sub-Lieutenant Takeda Masaru for his kindness in escorting me back to House Kusari.

Itsubuki wreck, Sigma 21 system
A battle-cruiser is still guarding planet Saigon high orbit

Honshu system jump-gate construction site, Sigma 21 system

We could locate the wreck of Deep Space Engineering transport. There is no evidence this wreck has been boarded yet. Recovering the bodies to House Liberty should be considered

The superstructure has been severely damaged; debris can be found floating in a 22k radius, making navigation hazardous

Battle-group Stausberg, Sigma 21 system
This battle-group is definitely located to secure the supply line coming from Sigma 15 system

Battle-group Kolleda, Sigma 21 system
Battle-group is placed on top Planet Hanoi gravity well, and is keeping a keen watch on Honshu system jump-hole

Frankfurt system jump-gate construction site, Sigma 15 system
This cooperation with House Gallia is concerning. We should prepare for the eventuality of a pincer maneuver by the two Great Houses

Bochum wreck, Sigma 15
House Rheinland has made considerable efforts to absorb Sigma 15 system, yet the wreck remains as a proof striking behind enemy lines is always a possibility

Sigma 15 jump-gate construction site, Frankfurt system
Rheinland Military currently only has a narrow corridor for its supply lines. Sigma 15 system might be the ideal are to disrupt these lines and disorganize the four battle-group that House Rheinland moved ahead

Battle-group Westfalen, Honshu system
Westfalen is currently in open space; a tempting target, no doubt

Respectfully,
Sanada Junko.
