The Core Presence
The Rho people have a very strong presence in the system. WV-Unity, WV-Critical, APM-Nauru-4, WV-Havoc, WV-Phantom were all spotted in the system.
Now I am not sure if this is good or bad for Rheinland - ideally we would want our corporations to exploit the resources directly without outside interference - if there will be plans to take over the rich Omega-48 perhaps it would be ideally done by securing the system single-handedly.
However as of now we face almost impassable barriers in the form of dangerous volcanic nabulae, getting much more than lone Cruisers or bomber wings through them will be problematic. Flieger Karsten Riese has suggested we simply blow the rocks up but that is a long term project. For now we can use any allies we can get to help secure the resources for our corporations, even if we do need to share.
Komisch sight and Corsair presence
Now it was hard to read out but I could swear Majestic-[Fae and Mirande-[Fae were a Gallic and Libertonian battlecruisers respectively, and they seemed to be emmiting some strange readings and energy, but the volatility of the system interfered with my sensors. Who knows what I saw, but they were aggressive and taken down with The Core assistance.
We have also encountered the Corsair Murmillo class Battleship CNS-Pernambucano and Legate Dreadnought, CNS-Veria. One Core vessel was disabled in the skirmish that in the end resulted in a stalemate as both sides retreated eventually.
As you can see, the situation in the system is extremely volatile and hard to navigate in. It is likely going to take decades before the system can be properly tamed, and until we manage to clear the path for our fleets, I am afraid our limited presence will have to rely on whatever allies we can get against the wide plethora of das feindliche wesen.
Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,
