To: Bretonian Ministry of Defense - CC: Liberty Security Force

[The Republic Of Liberty]

To whom it may concern;

It has been reported by ranking members of our Naval forces that a functional Overlord-class Dreadnought was showing the transponder of the Bretonian Armed Forces while in a fleet movement with several other capital vessels in the Cortez system under the name the Incomparable. Whether or not this was a hull salvaged from another lost vessel matters not, as I believe you are as familiar with our technology sharing programs, surely as well as we are with yours, and I can certainly say that this does not fall under any of them.

To that end, the Republic of Liberty is requesting the vessel be returned as soon as possible, and preferably within the next four weeks. If Bretonia is not able to hand the vessel over half-way in Cortez much like the end of the Lend Lease program, Liberty will be more than happy to bring a qualified crew and escorts to Bretonia to bring it home ourselves.

I look forward to your response.
