Guildmasters of the IMG,

I believe we've been in this situation before. Trevor Westbrook, Minister of Defense for the Crayter Republic. I hope all is well beyond the usual, but considering the matter at hand, I'd like to get straight to business.

Ever since the situation with Aland relations have been tense, I know. Xander's screw ups are still gouged into Crayter's relations, and we're still trying to repair that image. Holman was liberated, Pecos is still guarded by the Crayter Fleet in Coronado, and the Hades is gathering up for a long slew of operations to retake and secure the Taus and liberate what remaining IMG bases that sit occupied by the enemy.
Apparently this effort was in vain, as the IMG continues to be a nuisance in the south. I wholly understand the hatred towards Bretonia. We all do, and as long as it doesn't impact the inertia of the war effort I don't really care. There is a level that Crayter will not allow the IMG to pass without warning, however. This comm, sent via public channels across Sirius, illustrates that our fears are becoming reality, that my efforts as Defense Minister were in vain and that the IMG has not learned. Universal Shipping, as I'm sure you're very well aware, is not a Bretonian company. They are, in fact, a Liberty one, which means that the IMG will effectively be digging its own grave bringing Liberty in as well, which I personally cannot live with soundly, especially since both the IMG and Universal are key contributors to the well being of the Crayter people.

As such, as the Minister of Defense for Crayter, I am demanding that the IMG cease their hostile actions against Universal, lest you face the consequences. Crayter has done what we could within our ability to see that the IMG can continue their business unobstructed by the demands of the Major Houses. Holman, Pecos, Java (to an extent), Singapore and Falkland remain free from the touch of the Houses, all in the effort to allow the IMG to do what you do day in and day out as normal as possible to the extent that was possible before this Tau Conflict. If the IMG continues to inflict hostile actions against Universal, then my people will be forced to inflict sanctions and confiscations of IMG property within Crayter space in the interest of preserving the well being of Crayter. Expect that, if you do not concede to this demand, Holman and Pecos will be occupied, and Singapore will be locked off by a garrison of the Borneo Defensive Flotilla.

I hope this gets our point across clearly, as I do not relish being the imposer of sanctions upon those who I consider friends, despite past actions. However, to preserve Crayter's future and well being, I will do what I must.
Make the right choice.

For those we left behind.

Trevor Westbrook
Minister of Defense
Crayter Republic
