Takarrasha.

Both as Genrō of our Imperial Majesty and the person who had the utmost honor and pleasure to represent the Empire during the treaty negotiations, I am happy to clarify the situation for the Office.

As it stands, the presence of our troops serves the sole purpose of securing Keiretsu investment against potential sabotage by third parties. Naturally, the Office has a broader scale of operations on Planet Harris and I am confident that your agents are capable of carrying out their tasks camoflagued as Keiretsu security assets.

Both our troops presence and your operations will be in no way impacted by a potential spike of Bretonian authority presence - a most unlikely scenario for the coming years as it became apparent that Bretonia approached us over an actual lack of monetary and manpower to control and build up the Planet on their own in the first place. The planned full-scale dependency of Planet Harris' economy on the Keiretsu, in addition with a - in size swiftly adjustable - permanent troop presence will secure our interests on the Planet for as long as the Kingdom will require to recover its strength. However, I must stress that it is unlikely that either side will aim for conflict once again, not with the Gallics to be kept out of the sector. This mutual consens will assist us in maintaining the new status quo of beneficial partnership, at least within the scope of Tau-31.

With utmost respect,
Genrō of his Imperial Majesty Kogen Tetsuya,
Shunsuku Itō.
