Guten Abend,
As you all probably know, Omicron Xi has been the one place where the Rheinwehr has been able to cripple the Corsairs directly.
The Schwerin battlegroup have inficted serious damage, making Syros Shipyard inoperational.
Well, now it appears the Corsairs are growing bolder by the day - their incursions into Munich becoming more frequent, Syros has likely begun production once more. This will be their own undoing. The only reason Schwerin did not continue the onslaught was, by my personal opinion, the ill-advised war with Kusari forces. That war is over and ended in a peaceful solution. Our main enemy in the Sigmas is once again the Gas Miners Guild. A long term plan is brewing and will be revealed in the following months - the Emperor's men and Rheinwehr see the GMG as a symbol of Rheinland's suffering that plagued many generations, but we have also learned our lessons from direct fleet invasions without ground prepared. Many of the resource rich Sigmas will belong to The House of Rheinland, mark my words, but in the following years our strategy will not be that of commiting full battlegroups, but rather one of preparing ground for the long run and weakening the Guild, using some of the experience amassed by our heroes in the civil war. Most notably both war of attrition and fighting against it.
The Future
Rheinland is united once more, we all now serve the powerful stature and persona of our Emperor and spirit of his grand vision, while the Executor, Senate, Tribunate, Planetary Governors and Rheinland Judiciary ensure the day-to-day prosperity and unity of our people and House. This gives the unified Rheinwehr great power and space to operate. Our unified might has already crushed the Hessians by an absolute victory in Cologne. The Hessian slaying Strausberg Battlegroup now focuses it's full force in Dresden. The question isn't whether it could overtake Dresden in it's entirety, but whether there's anything left of value in the system to be even worth the effort.
Omicron Xi
Hessians defeated, Omega-48 hard to access with large scale invasion force, Hudson requiring anti-terrorist small scale approach and Sigmas needing war of attrition and a weakened Guild before we commit full scale invasion force once more. The scopes of our capital assets once more turned towards Xi and preventive strikes against our enemies there. I have taken command of the KKS-Rheinlandto test the waters.
We have indeed encountered the Corsairs, but in our pursuit we have stumbled into an unknown area
before we could realize where we have arrived an enemy appeared we did not expect in the area - An Outcast Battlecruiser, MNS-Messina with Cardamine and Artifacts on board.
Were they pacting with the Corsairs? Are they dabbling into the artifact business as well? It mattered very little to my crew. The Outcasts are a criminal organization and will be exterminated just as the Corsairs will be. Sure enough, a battle ensued, and KKS-Rheinland lay waste to the Hispania criminals.
Damaged, we went on to return to Rheinland space but not before scouting the area. There are many alien structures, but all seem dormant and/or long dead
This concludes one of the many incursions into Omicron Xi - sufficient damage needs to be done to the Corsairs before Munich becomes too unstable to pass through, our preventive strikes will crush their spirits once more and make them not even think of trying to invade the unified House of Rheinland.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
Hochachtungsvoll,
Alexander Arnold
Admiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
