The Hologram opens.
//Transmission: GSR Code//"
Standing leaned over a balcony an old man can be seen, looking to be something between 70 and 80 years old in human terms, turned away from the viewpoint of the hologram. The room looks luxuriously decorated, with a marble floor and stone walls with accents of an unknown wood. Behind the balcony seems to be a kind of jungle stretching far out of view.
Turning around towards the holocamera, the man in simple military clothing and wearing a large woolen officers coat as well as an officers cap crosses his hands behind his back and walks towards the table the holocam is on.
"Ezekiel. My name is Hans Steinfeld, Führer of zhe German Space Regime. Ich do not think ve have met before but I remember TIE very well. Now, after ve had been pushed out of our galaxy, our homeland, our own homes by zhe Vaiaelions, you, our old foes, have been hit by, have been struck by zhe same fate."
He chuckles slightly in a deep voice.
"Ironic. Still, ve are looking towards zhe same enemy now. Zhe Vaiaelions have not shown any new agression towards us, but as ve hold a deep grudge towards zhem I am sure zhey do too. Similarly, zhe British Empire has chosen to... collaborate vith zhe enemy. Zhat leaves us in a very interesting situation, faced with a double threat of severe power. Ich have been informed of your situation, and it does indeed seem dire.
Leaning against the table, he takes out a cigar and lights it.
"Now, while ve are not in any way close to how powerful ve were in our best time, ve still possess some aces up our sleeve.. and ve have a considerable economy and navy.
Zhe question zhat remains to be asked is.. How can ve assist you without drifting into a two-front war? Zhe british barely know of our existance and zhe Vaiaelions do not at all as far as ve know. Zhat may be used to our advantage. A few projects of our own were completed vhile ve were away, one of zhem being vhat ve call a "Kreuzverdammtiumbombe". It disables most types of scanners and sensors for a good while using a metal alloy ve had gathered out of bloodcult territory a long time ago. You may be able to use zhem to break zhe blockade, vhat do you think?"

The Neu-Baden entrance to the Reich was being repaired and upgunned from being a wreckage. As the welding ships and transports were toiling away, a defense fleet watched and controlled the flow of German ships in and out.
The crescent fleet was hailed shortly after leaving FTL:
//Transmission: GSR Code//
"Attention, unknown ships of cescent empire origin, you are approaching zhe territory of zhe German Space Regime. Identify yourselves and state your allegiance as vell as intentions, or remove yourselves from zhe system."
//Transmission End//
Atop the bridge a confused and unsure fleet admiral stood, scratching his head..
"Could it be them...?"
