[Crayter Republic]

Foreign Minister Toshinori Kojirou,

You have brought dreadful news to me minister. From the facts you insinuate, your war has already begun with House Liberty. Citing someone, who may very well be either side in the end, may try to drag the coals of war to the Crayter Republic once more. I can not condone this, as I foresee the entire collapse of the more civilized spheres of Sirius should it come to that. You force us to take drastic preventative measures against our own interests just for the safety and security of our own people. Neither of the House Navies of Liberty and Kusari may cross Baffin and the Barrier Pass, and will be forced back to their respective borders if duty demands it.

Once the Gallic Union hears of what is happening, what will they do? House Bretonia is distracted with their slow ongoing front into the Dublin gold fields and would be just as sluggish to react should Gallia make a move into the Taus. You risk the safety of the Harris Alliance in more ways than you incur. Not just against your own prospects, but the stability of the entire sector of space.

Why weren't these rising concerns expressed when we met at the Summit in Bretonia? Or did those sub-par prawns we had for dinner make me black out the memory? What going on over in Galileo?

In service to the Republic.

Lily Ward
Minister of Foreign Affairs
