Miss Mori,

I have to say, it was quite a pleasure to speak with you the other day in Inverness. Seeing remnants of the old Commonwealth flying under their own banner instead of that of a third party was a pleasant surprise as well. Hopefully this can be the begining of a more long term relationship. For now I'll answer your questions to the best of my ability, then follow up with some questions for you in turn.

To answer your largest question first, the GNI is not a part of the Gallic Navy, commonly refered to as the Combined Fleet after the consolidation of the Gendarmerie into their ranks. We operate independently from the Combined Fleet with almost no oversight, and we answer directly to the Maréchal, serving the people of Gallia directly through him. We are not part of Gallia's military, like the LSF and KOI you already mentioned, though we do recruit many of our own officers from various military postings. As for our interests, currently we seek to expand our information gathering apparatus, it having deteoriated rather significantly following our recent internal conflict. Gallia's intelligencee community was fractured during these times, and we were only reformed in an official capacity shortly before the recent visit of Rheinland's Emperor to Gallia. Unfortunately by the time we were given our mandate, the details of the visit had already been leaked by several different sources, and the ensuing attacks on the ships were unavoidable. Due to this, one of our primary areas of focus is into that of the aliens you Sirians commonly call the Nomads.

Hopefully that answers everything you asked, so now I'll move on to the questions I would ask of you in return. Does the Task Force possess information on the Nomads that they would be willing to share with us? If so, I'm sure there is some information you would request in exchange, or perhaps even some minor exchange of technology. Would your Task Force be willing to engage in covert operations on our behalf in Liberty or perhaps Bretonia, this would only be simple information gathering if your people are up for it, unsurprisingly it is rather difficult for us to operate covertly in their territories. Beyond this, I believe we have no more pressing questions to raise at the moment, and we look forward to your respose.

Regards,
Duke
Director of External Operations
