Further exploration and conflict
- In 2149 they sent a small FTL ship to New Iowa in the Griffin system.
- In 2151 they sent an FTL colony ship, the Seevogel to the Chimera System, hoping to colonise what was to become New Ukraine. This ship was suprised by the presence of the Alexander Nevsky, a Russian FTL gunship that the USSR had sent to claim the planet. The engagement was a disaster for the Germans, and the Seevogel limped to the second habitable planet in the system, which was to become New Rhineland.
- In 2151, the Battle of New Ukraine cemented the status quo in the Chimera system.
