Gunter,

Although our original plan to go unnoticed as a regular convoy in edge worlds has changed, I am happy to report that the convoy has successfully arrived at Livadia Shipyard and transports are in the process of unloading components for Vega. I'm not sure who brought that idea, but the combined convoy of the Rheinwehr, and... Marinenachrichtendienst together with the Daumann Heavy Construction escort put us in an advantageous position, the convoy went into the size of a little flotilla that no one on the way would dare to stop us or threaten us in any significant way.

Our technicians in conjunction with yours and Dauman Heavy Construction, have begun to investigate the ship systems status. Given its history and the civilian components used, they should have plenty of time to study, as it has several developments inside that are critical to a region like Omicrons. However, with spare parts on hand, this whole bizarre zoo of different equipment will be standardized and will look more like Bismarck as it did many decades ago. By the most optimistic estimates Livadia will be able to return Vega into the service in six months, which is nothing compared to the amount of time the ship is out of service.

Given the rapidly changing environment in Omicrons, we are going through another stage of boiling plate. Our ships are now under attack from the Corsairs, who are trying their best to undermine and crumble our position in Omicron Theta and deeper into the wild edge. Things are no more dramatic in Omicron Zeta, where our main installation Kadesh Orbital City is located. Core attempted to seize the moment to gain the upper hand over Order, ultimately leading to a tactical retreat of both groups from the system as Nomads take advantage of the fuss and take upper hand, making our home the last stronghold of humanity in the face of the Nomads. So far the situation remains calm over there, but you will never know when it’ll be changed. Let's hope Vega will be ready in the meantime.

Despite our limited resources in comparison to Rheinland, please let me know if there is anything we could help with. I am more than confident that our partnership is just the beginning of something more.

Herr Burton,


Thank you for the report. I got a similar one from Rick Hymes, the mecenary i sent. I hope he was to some use. I am eager to hear on your progress of the ship. While we can't send any reinforcements for reasons mentioned in our meeting, the Rheinwehr is however putting pressure on the Corsairs from the Rheinland front. It may not be much, but at least it should keep some heat off from your side. Let us hope the Vega will be built in time. Your people seem to need it.

As for further communication, i will have to forward you to Grossadmiral Henze. I will be off the grid for a while, acting as an officer in the Landstreitkräfte. It was an honor working with you and Herr Gehrig.

Abmeldung,
Gunter Kunrad
Admiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
