Good Day Representatives
My name is Caitlyn Cross, I am the Chairwoman of Orbital Spa and Cruise. Today I was informed that there is some Tension between the Bretonian and Libertonian governments that I want to Discuss. While we at Orbital Stay Neutral when it comes to such things as Political Unrest. Therefore i am not really Pleased to hear about Unrest in the Cortez and Magellan System.
Orbital Spa and Cruise was always a friend of both Bretonia and Liberty and the Planet itself is a Recognized Orbital Property by the Treaty of Cortez. Now I have heard that there are Fleet Movements in our System and Rising Tensions.
Orbital is proud of its Neutral Stance with all the Great Houses of Sirius and we hope that we can keep it that way. While we don't Care for Political Developments of the Houses or Plans of Expansion. But the System of Cortez is Orbitals Home so you might understand that we are more sensitive when it comes to Curacao and the Space around it.
Especially when we hear from our Contacts that there are Rumors about an Annexation of Curacao for Colonizing Efforts. I hope that those are only Rumors, but nonetheless, I want to make clear that Curacao is Not Suitable for such an Endeavor. The Planet is covered mostly by Water and the little Islands that Exist are so small that they are only useful for Touristic Purposes. The Sea itself is also not Fit for any kind of Fish Breeding or other Endeavours like this.
We Realy hope that these are only Rumors, but till we can Confirm that there is no Military Danger for Curacao or our Guests on the Way to and from the Planet, we will Close Curacao and its Installations for all Military vessels. The only exception is in Case of a Medical Emergency, Orbital won't let anyone Die on our Doorstep, and our Hospitals are open for those in need. But we won't Allow Armed Personal to Land on the Planet so make sure that your Pilots and Medical Personal are not Armed.
Safe Skys,

Subject: Tension?
Good Evening,
I am quite concerned about what you are bringing to all of us. The report that came through my desk was clear. Normal and quite routine patrol of our border with Bretonia occurred and an said patrol was attacked by the Xeno Movement. Xenos ships were either eliminated or disabled and taken into custody.
I am not sure who you are hearing these rumors from but I suggest you take a step back and realize that all is well. Political changes happen everyday that does not mean alliances just fall at the drop of a hat.
Lastly what I am concerned about is your mention of closing your doors. You would revoke access to Planet Curacao to both the Armed Forces and the Liberty Navy based on rumors? I dont think you would feel quite happy should Liberty or Bretonia close its doors to you for an unfounded rumor?
Either way I hope my words bring some comfort and I hope OS&C Transports continue to fly into Bretonia, Crayter, and Liberty safely.
In Service To The Republic.

Good day Katelyn.
I would like to put your worries to rest. Bretonia has always been our strong partner. There might be some backroom tensions, but that's just politicians, and some individuals too zealous to prove themselves even if it means poking allies in strange ways. We can put full faith into the government of the Republic of Liberty. I wouldn't take it as a commentary on the OS and C that the Treaty of Curacao has been deemed outdated, despite the name. I also wouldn't worry about warships mooring on your planet and polluting your resorts en masse - we have strong patrol and refuel points in Coronado and California respectively, there's just no need to start all of a sudden using beaches, hotels and casinos as anything but shore leave destinations.
P.S. Say hello to Hilda for me, I hope she still has her Tricks, Spark, and is fired up for cooking! It feels like just yesterday when she was making mine and Creed's work so easy with her delicacies that always boosted morale to the maximum!

Good Day Rear Admiral Shepard
First, we don't close Curacao for Tourists no matter how they earn their Living. Everyone that Serves the Military and wants to spend their Shore Leave on Curacao is more than welcome to do so. But for now, we will Close the Ports for Warships. So far I have Only Heard from Liberty about these Tensions and while I have trust that the Navy and the Politicians to Keep things from Escalating I have to Protect Orbitals Neutrality. But the things I heard didn't come from a Low Ranking Ensing of the Secondary Fleet, I have gotten a Warning Directly from an Admiral of one of Liberty's Primary Fleets. Therefore I would be a Fool if I would seek more Informations about those Potential Threats.
As for the Xeno, we have also noticed that they became an Increased Threat in our System. So Far they have not Attacked Orbital Property or Ships. Probably because we Employ Many Libertonians. But we also feel a Rising Hostility from them towards us. Maybe we can discuss some Joint Operations with our Security Forces of Spa-Sec and share Information about the Threat?
Once I hear from the Bretonians and they confirm that this is just stupid Rumors we will be of course more than happy to also Welcome Libertys and Bretonias Warships back at our Ports. Orbital is Proud of its Neutral Status with all Houses of Sirius and wants to keep it that way. Furthermore, we won't Close our Ports but were asked Kindly not to Bring Capital Class Warships for the foreseeable future, After the Ravages of the war on Curacao we are Rather safe than Sorry when it comes to the Security of Curacao. But we won't turn away those who come to us, for those in need, Should you have a Ship with a Medical emergency in the Sector and then send it to Curacao, Orbital will not let anyone die on our Doorsteps. We were always Good Neighbors with both Liberty and Bretonia and I hope we can keep it that way.
Good Day Admiral Van Leer
We thank you for your understanding in this Situation, Orbital takes a "Rather Safe than Sorry" approach in this Matter. Especially as we got those Warnings from an Admiral of one of Liberty's Primary Fleets. Of Course, we will welcome your Men and Woman on Shore Leave on Curacao with open arms. We have a Shuttle Service that flies Hourly from Planet Los Angeles to Curacao. Till I hear from the Bretoninans or have more information about the situation we will be on the watch for anything that might happen to the Pearl that is Curacao.
PS: Hilda has not lost her Skills and is still out there to bring some fine Foods to the people of Sirius. I am sure she will be more than happy to Cook for you once you meet again. I will Tell her that she should keep an eye out for you.
Safe Skys,
