This is GNN News Anchor, Steve Robertson from our Studio In Liberty, we now go to our next Major story of the night. Our Reporter on Planet New Berlin gives you the details.
"Hello there! This Reporter Erich Weidermann on Planet New Berlin, A State of Civil War rages through-out Rheinland space today, as the force of the [RM] fight to defend the Chancellors honour from the forces of the [Rheinland]. The [Rheinland] forces were seen insulting our nations military, and while they claim to represent our nation, they are seen with weapons from alien races and it appears that they have become corrupted and blinded. I have a captain of the Rheinland Military here now for Interveiw;"
Axel Topf: "Hello, people of the Sirius sector. And hello Erich, what can I do for you today?"
Erich Weidermann: "I am here to ask you a few questions about the fight in orbit today."
*Grounbd shakes as a [RM] gunboat glides a kilometre over the ground, and passes by.
AT: "Well, I was on my daily patrol around New berlin, when I encounter the forces of [Rheinland]. Normaly they assist us, but today they were acting a little differently. I scanned them quickly, and I found they had shields and Weapons from alien craft."
EW: "The [RM] have been tolerant of people using the nomads weapons before, why the change of heart?"
AT: "These were not nomad weapons, they were of an unknown alien origin, and the Admiral of the Bs| says that they hold a small amout of them for studying on their Battleship in Omicron Minor, I could tell the [Rheinland] would have had to go to large lenghts of trouble to get them. They are oviously corrupted by an outside force.
EW: "HOw did the fighting start?"
AT: "My fellow captain, Meric Freelamen, came on duty as well as Jack Archer. We assest the situation, when the [Rheinland] Forces started mouthing of to us. I could tell right away they had other intentions that involved not the safty of our people."
EW: "Who gave the order to attack?"
AT: "Meric did, he had received orders from Admiral Krieg to watch out for these people, and when they started acting strange, we acted first."
EW: "What happened after the initial strike?"
AT: "The indenous forces in the area chose sides, and they chose wrongly, it was two bombers and a cruiser for the [RM} and 2 bombers, a cruiser, and two battleships for the [Rheinland]. I scored a kill on teh cruiser, before the battleships destroyed the Vineta, and the Took our my bomber. Admiral Kreig showed up and Killed the [Rheinland] Battleship. We were forced to fall back."
EW: "What have youheard of your allies moving to assist you?"
AT: "The Black Squadron and the Sirius Federation both moved into Rhienland space and attacked and destroyed the [Rheinland] fleet. It was a victory, but a costly one."
EW: "What do you think will be the outcome of this war?"
AT: "It is hard to tell, because while our fleet is larger then theirs, they appear to have more capital ships then we do. They have been declared enemies of the state and we will purpe them from our nation. The chancellor Rheinhardt is on the side of the [RM]. He will guide us through our troubles."
EW: "I have heard reports of the Inquisition getting involved, are they true?"
AT: "Yes. The Inquisiton has banned all Alien guns of that origin and they will be supporting the [RM]. The [Rheinland] are oviously corrupt and under influence of Alien's and otherworldly forces."
EW: "Thank you Captain Topf, I am glad to have spoken with you."
AT: "No problem, now I must return to my ship and my crew."
EW: "Thats all for now, Remember, Captain Topf is the captain of the gunship Kormoran, and he will speak with any cvillians about joining the [RM]. Back to you Steve."
SR: "Now onto sports, but before that, a message from the [RM]:
