To: Crayter Republic

[República Liparia]

---

Good day,

I hope all has been well on Yuma as of late. Given the recent strain within the Taus, this contact is perhaps quite pertinent.

As you may perhaps be aware, Lipari has begun an effort to try and help stabilize the region and restore some semblance of law and order to the Tau Sector. While I'm certain my contemporaries in Crayter would wish nothing more than to ensure the safety of all who travel through the Taus, I'm also quite aware of the myriad of issues presenting themselves to the Quorum of Ministers, as outlined in the recent past points drawn up in this channel alone. In light of this, it is my hope that Lipari will be able to provide the diplomatic initiative that would be necessary.

Lipari's 'Tau Initiative' would see the three Great Houses of the region (Bretonia, Gallia, and Kusari) alongside Crayter and the IMG come together to discuss, debate, and settle any conflicting territorial and mineral claims, bring an end to the petty skirmishing, and reopen trade to all shipping. I am quite aware that simply bringing all parties together without escalation is a daunting task, let alone bringing each to terms all feel are satisfactory. Despite this, it is my belief that, if there is to be any prosperity within the Taus, it will only come when fighting takes a backseat and lets diplomacy take the helm.

It is my hope that my contemporaries in Crayter are amenable to this effort, if not for the Sector as a whole then for the hundreds of thousands within Tau-44 alone that have suffered greatly from the effects this instability has caused. I am very interested in knowing the Republic's position on this matter, and if there would be any willingness to facilitate or perhaps even directly assist with this effort.
I await your response, Minister.


Take care.
