To all personnel,

With the uptick in trade activity within the Sigmas has come a surge of smugglers seeking to exploit these opportunities.

Patrols across our glorious House have reported increasing numbers of vessels utilizing illegal smuggling routes and violating military quarantine zones. Many vessels caught engaging in these activities are found to be carrying armaments bound from Liberty. Most concerningly they are often civilian in nature. Despite this and their nationality, you are to do your utmost to stop, search, and question these vessels. Punishment should be meted out by the ranking officer on the scene or passed on to Federal Police officials wherever possible. While lethal force is always authorized, it is to be used sparingly. Only vessels confirmed to be collaborating with criminal elements, trespassing in secure areas, firing on civilian, military, or law enforcement vessels, and those attempting to flee may be killed.

Your commanding officer will brief you with updated patrol routes and unit allocations. This problem must be dealt with in good measure. The Kaiser is watching, and we must uphold the sanctity of him and of Rheinland. There can be no failure.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
Erich von Richter
Konteradmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
