Recent reports are very favourable. Corsairs are retreating on all fronts, even the Outcast ones. This leaves us some time to deal with matters at home before attempting to knock down the Corsair defensive wall in the Omega systems.
1. As you all know, the war with Liberty is slowly becoming reality. As much as we would all like to see the Kanzler burn, we can't let foreign imperialism burn down our homeland with him. The Rheinwehr might have pledged their service to the corrupt government, but honour also binds them to defend their Fatherland. The ORH is going to broadcast this order on the day of the official declaration of war, but I want you - the ideological defenders of Rheinland - to prepare yourself for this. In the case of foreign invasion (be it Liberty, Corsairs or Bounty Hunters) Rheinland Military units lose their potential target status. We will repel the foreign assault, then settle matters between us.
2. In 814 A.S. our anti-Corsair pact with the Outcasts has been made. This pact has made it very clear that besides vessels transporting their drugs elsewhere, we can do with smugglers going through Rheinland what we please. Cardamine smugglers are to be redirected outside of our borders if encountered. Under no circumstances can you let them land on any base in the Fatherland. Artifact smugglers are to drop all their cargo or be attacked. The cargo then has to be destroyed to prevent the risk of Nomad infestation on unwary passersby.
3. There is a standing directive not to open fire on vessels of the Order operating in the Omega sector, unless engaged first. I am aware of a number of individuals forging Order IFFs on their vessels in an attempt to spy behind our lines, which is why all non-Black Squadron aligned Order vessels are to be treated with high suspicion, until proven otherwise.
As a side note, Codename: Von Rohe has officially left the dry dock. Codename: Halberd is now in progress. Schematics for the three planned vessels have left technical review, and the prototypes are currently under construction. Expect mass production to be started soon.
Also as a finishing note, I would like to post promotions of pilots especially excelling in the recent battles.
