Good day Admiral -

I've received reports of the Red Hessians operating near Freeport 1 as well, and have been brought up t' speed. Rest assured, the Confederation does not tolerate this, nor sanctioned their use of Freeport 1. While our delay in responding initially might have raised some eyebrows, it was not due t' Freeport 1 being unchecked, nor compromised. I do apologize though that it took this long t' acknowledge such attacks and the blatant disregard for the NFZ around the station.

On t' how we shall proceed Admiral - We do not wish for our relationship t' be tarnished, but we respect the need for action. We are working currently t' ensure docking rights are updated and known RHA vessels are denied access. That of course will not hinder those we do not have on our record, but we will strive t' ensure access is updated as frequently as possible. While hackers and undercover pilots may infiltrate Freeport 1's hangers, rest assured that any vessel docking on the station from members of the RHA or their associates have not received our blessing t' do so. Recognizing that the Omega corridor is a vital trade route, we will increase the amount of defensive ships in the area, pulling from the security detail of the IRG and the OSI. While we will enforce the NFZ, please understand that we will remain neutral in actions outside the vicinity of Freeport 1, and we will not endanger our pilots by risking any offensive action alongside the Armed Forces outside said vicinity.

I hope this is satisfactory Admiral, and that it allows rest concerning your worry about Freeport 1. We do not wish any Bretonian citizen t' be harmed, nor your own forces be put in jeopardy due t' unlawfuls attempting t' utilize the Freeport. We will do all we can t' ensure the Freeport remains as is - a free haven for all, not as a base of operations t' endanger lives in any way or form.

Safe skies Admiral, and if there is anything further you require, please do not hesitate t' reach out.
