To the AU

[Albert Profrock]

You know, I've studied most of the House roleplay in some depth due to the extensive work I put into infocards, rumours and suchlike. While I could undoubtedly be wrong, it is my understanding that the Unioners have no interest whatsoever in Liberty and in fact even fighting Liberty is detrimental to their cause (same goes for most of the Rheinland pirates). If Liberty wins, Rheinland is massively weakened and thus gives the Rheinland pirates far greater power and scope to enact changes of their own or pursue their own goals. If Rheinland wins, Rheinland will emerge stronger and it will be much, much harder for the pirates in the future. Obviously they don't want Liberty taking over Rheinland completely, but that isn't Liberty's goal either. They just want to beat Rheinland down again and keep its military forces crippled indefinitely, and maybe permanently gain control of the Hudson system and Planet Atka (which was claimed by and is being terraformed by Liberty anyway). And in any case, the Unioner's main enemy is really Republican Shipping for the most part, although they dislike Daumann and Kruger anyway.

Perhaps if Rheinland is currently dangerous to operate in, you need to embark on more recruiting? Boost the Unioner numbers a bit, offer incentives. There's a lot of diamond miners in Dresden to be beaten up, I'm sure the Hessians wouldn't care much. Then there's the traders going through frankfurt, Munich and even Hamburg. I mean bloody hell, I even got you a base in Hamburg for 4.85 to make it easier for unlawfuls (Unioners mainly) to strike at transports going through Hamburg or taking the shortcut to Frankfurt. Yeah, I know, there's a blockade going on, there's a war etc etc. But frankly, you should not be in Texas at all. Ever. Just kill them in Hudson/Bering/Hamburg? A few of you stationed around the Hamburg jumpgates in Bering and Hudson could probably hold up almost all traffic through those independent systems for hours, I suspect, racking up quite a profit if you bring a pirate transport along as well to collect the goods from those who may be reluctant to pay.

Either way, I think you should stay out of Liberty. I'm sure you'd start making complaints if the Liberty Rogues or Xenos started raiding Hamburg as far as the New Berlin jumpgate and or attacking the Alster Shipyard.

You have apparently missed something then as Unioners are stated as hostile in the Liberty Navy infocard for some reason, while Rogues or Xenos aren't even mentioned anywhere in Rheinland. Plus, Unioners know the Liberty's plans to remove them out of Bering, which is yet another good reason for them to strike back.
