CNS - Breaking News: The Omega 7 Conflict

Major Setback for Rheinland in Omega 7!

In a daring blockade run various transports, consisting of IMG and independent operators, both independent traders and freelancers, broke through the Rheinland blockade of Freistadt and delivered critically needed materials and cargo such as food, water, and oxygen. Some transports also carried weapons and ammunition.

In a brilliant move the IMG forces raided Brisen station and lured the Rheinland ships blockading Freistadt away, allowing the first shipment from a dozen transports to reach the station and unload, not a Rheinland ship was in sight as the transports headed back in order to bring back more critically needed supplies. The first few runs were largely successful, but the Rheinlanders grew wise to the ruse and diverted ships to end this blockade run, but then, more ships arrived, the Hessians and even some Coalition ships engaged the Rheinland craft closing in on the station, Colonial defenders of the station also joined to defend the station's lifeline.

Even capital craft was seen engaging each other, Rheinland was able to stop the flow of supplies... for all of ten minutes before the IMG and allied forces forced the Rheinland fleet away.

Even though Rheinland military managed to destroy a few transports most of the shipment made it through.

Losses were heavy on both sides, but the net result of the action was IMG's foothold in Omega 7 remained stronger than ever, now the station was not in danger of running out of food or other supplies. Rheinland inflicted, and received, heavy losses.

Can Rheinland really afford to divert such part of its military so much when the war with Liberty still raged on? The situation on Omega does not seem to be budging one bit, and Rheinland's hope for surrender of Freistadt and a quick end of the Omega 7 situation was dashed by this daring resupply which broke through the Rheinland blockade so successfully.

Again, can Rheinland afford to be dragged into another quagmire while a greater threat in the form of Liberty is at its doorsteps?
