Orders to: Kapitan von Rouke
CC to: Sirius Federation, Bretonian Guard
Comm ID: Admiral Krieg, Rheinland Military High Command
Kapitan, it is with pleasure that Im giving you to the new, upgraded Bl?cher Class Cruiser, straight out of Alster Shipyard, Hamburg. This new ship boasts two Flack Turrets, two Missle Turrets, two converted Inferno Cannons, and five Cerebus Cruiser turrets, as per your requests. I hope this armament will allow you to complete your new, unique duties well. The name of this new warship is Prinz Eugen, and it is yours.
As you know, the Rheinland Military and the Bretonian Armed Forces have an Anti-Pirating Initiative in the Omegas, specifically Omega 5, Omega 41, Omega 3, Omega 11, and Omega 7. However, with recent attacks by Wraith, Unioners, Scythe, and numerous other insurgent forces, weve been lacking the manpower to effectively hold up our end of the bargan. You, and your ship, are the answer to this problem. You are hereby ordered to make haste to Alster Shipyard, take command with a skeleton crew, and sail to the Cambridge System, to place yourself under Sirius Federation Command. Here, youll be integrated into the SFs Command Structure, and then carry out your mission.
Your XO, SF Commander Terrence Kirk, will be waiting with the remainder of your crew complement, 445 Officers and men. He has an exemplary record, including the captaincy of a Gunboat on the Kusari front as a Lieutenant-Commander, and has served as Chief Weapons Instructor on the Training Ship SFBS-Gibraltar. Both SF Command and I are sure that hell keep the Bretonian element of your crew under control, and stay out from under your feet. Yours is the heaviest cruiser in the SF fleet, matched only by their Frigates and Battleships.
Now, your mission. The Pirate activity in the Omegas, especially the corsairs, has gotten completely out of hand. The Squadron known as The Brotherhood, the Unioners, and the Phantoms have all been destroying or wrecking shipping for too long, and it must be stopped. Of special interest to us the death or capture of the Unioner known as Vlad. We estimate that hes destroyed nearly one hundred shipping vessels of every size, and bounties have proven ineffective. This loon must be stopped, for though he is only one man, our intelligence shows that his famous efforts have so improved morale and recruiting among the Unioners that, for the first time since their creation, their numbers are actually growing. Find him, and stop him Kapitan, by whatever means necessary.
Now, there is an Armoured Transport in Bay 2D, specifically to ferry you to your new command. It will leave the moment you are ready.
