It's been some time since we've made contact on an official level. However, given the recent developments Crayter at-large has been involved in, we felt it was worth checking in with our friends on Yuma.
To begin, I was hoping to ask about concerning reports we've heard from our colonists on Borneo about a falling out between the Republic and the IMG. From Governor Moira-Benitez's account, our supply ships flying Crayterian colors have been turned away, and our captains have needed to travel much farther and much longer than they've been trained for just to procure supplies. The Republic once had strengthening ties to the Guild, to the point where we had assumed the past would finally be water under the bridge. I'm concerned with where that effort has since gone.
We've also been concerned with the recent events regarding Military action in Inverness. While Malta has been largely concerned with our people on Borneo, reports of engagements with Technocrat vessels have grown in recent weeks. Was the treaty ignored once more, or were there other reasons?
Finally, in connection to our first concern, we're aware the Military's Battlecruiser Momus has recently returned to the system. While it will help bolster the system's security, the concern has been growing of the openness of Tau-44 to Nationalist raids. Are there plans to redeploy units to Sulawesi to reinforce the local garrison sometime before the new year? The Armed Forces have toyed with the thought of relocating some assets from Sabah to Sulawesi, but have concerns regarding their readiness.
