I bid my welcomes to you, good sirs.

I will get straight to the point. Today our security has detected a Rheinland cruiser in Sigma-13 under the callsign RNC Aachen. Not believing what we were seeing, we asked it to state it's intentions and then leave the area. We informed it's captain several times that he is breaching the terms of the convention between Rheinland and the GMG. The cruiser remained in the area, insisting to "hunt down pirates" and as such we were forced to begin looking for it. Before we got to it, an ion storm hit the area and the cruiser left in the confusion.

It is indeed a tragic sight that even after the atrocities of the Eighty Years War the Rheinland Military dishonours our treaty and sends it's armed capital ships to Sigma-13, almost as if trying to light the conflict up again.
I may be wrong however and this may be a mistake. This is why we have decided to inform you of this. The cruiser RNC Aachen is unlawfully remaining in a system it should never enter. Please take care of this matter or we will be forced to attack the vessel when it is encountered the next time.

Please respond urgently. We need to know where we stand on this.

Signed,
Tao Shikoyu, Head of GMG Public Relations and Diplomacy
