Dear Inner Phalanx & Curator Endurance ,

Thank you for your speedy reply and the clarifications that the Guild needed.

We do not see any complications that cannot be overcome rather easily.

Auxesian forces have had little to no contact with the Gallic Royal Navy or any contact with any foreign party originating from the House of Gallia. Neutrality is assumed due to no attempts at hostilities or disagreements made by either party.

Personal experience tells me that this does not have to be the case. I highly suggest to get into contact with the Gallic Royal Navy offices in the Taus before making contact. It is very easy to get into conflict with GRN and when there was no diplomatic stance established before, Gallia can be fast with their verdict.

To avoid any complications, I would assume Tau 37 Falkland as the most suitable base of operations. Once you can be sure of guaranteed neutrality, Java station makes for the more pleasant staging point.

Thank you also for writing up your stance towards other groups.

The Independent Miners Guild regards the Red Hessian movement as a political entity and we have a rule of not to get involved in intra-house affairs. The only consequence of this would be that - when escorting or cooperating with IMG vessels at that moment - no hostilities need to be commenced. If Auxesia wants to fight, these hostilities need to be separated from IMG-Auxesia cooperation. The Guild is not interested in getting involved in their allies' diplomacy, as long as it does not influence ours.

There might be more groups that could fall into the category of Red Hessians, however these cases are only significant when we cooperate at that moment and then it will not be a problem to clarify the situation at hand.

I do not see any trouble in the cooperation and I am looking forward to seeing cooperation between IMG and Auxesia forces in space.
