Government of the Colonial Republic,

I am Colonel Joseph Garcia of the SCRA. It has come to my attention that the Colonial Republic has granted the previous administration the use of several of its vessels. In recent times, the use of Colonial technology has fallen out of favor due to the increasing sentiment of patriotism within the ranks of the SCRA.

However, a grave problem has reared its head in recent times. It would appear that almost 99% of our current "Insurgent" Space Superiority Fighters have been built with a fatal flaw which we believe to be the result of sabotage. This flaw has effectively lowered the maneuverability of the Insurgent to unacceptable levels resulting in extremely high casualties.

I cannot, in good faith, allow pilots under my command to fly such death traps into combat. I am therefore proposing the following solution:

We return to you the Thanatos and Hydras that have been granted to us in exchange for enough Nyx's to maintain our operational capabilities while we refit the entirety of our Insurgent fleet. No small matter given just how many we have produced.

I hope that we can reach a satisfactory resolution to this grave problem.
