The Ministry and Fleet Command have great concern from comms and traffic reports coming in from the main throughway between Bretonia and Gallia. Tensions seem high and fleet movements noted, much higher since the icy embargo was put into place.
In the interest of Peace in the Taus and our continued commercial activity, we therefore are ordering you to take what elements you see fit from the 18th Strike Group to the edge of the Orkney System where you will maintain the peace of the Taus in the name of the Crayter Republic. We believe cooler heads will prevail, but under no circumstance will we abide this warmongering in the regions they deem as "fronteir" space as we have many citizens lives, and economic interests at stake.
Do not, under any circumstance allow your units to be the aggressors, but you are authorized to use any force available to you in defense of Crayterian assets.
For those we left behind.
Trevor Westbrook
Minister of Defense
Crayter Republic
