ENCRYPTED COMMUNICATION

---

Bonghjornu, Director 'Duke',

Iè, indeed. This Sirian technology is obviously obsolete compared to the technology we - Gallia in general – have developed over the years. While they can prove useful in infiltration missions, or just operating in the Sirian sectors, their shortcomings are pretty glaring indeed. We understand.

I have consulted The Commission quickly on this matter, and we have reached a consensus of delivering you three (3) of each Corsican fighters. So:

THE COMMISSION'S OFFER

---

• Three (3) CL22 "Mistral Noir" Light Fighters;
  
• Three (3) CB14 "Cuirassier Noir" Heavy Fighters;
  
• Three (3) CB14-H "Sirocco Noir" Very Heavy Fighters;
  
• Three (3) BG75 "Jaguar Noir" Bombers.

These twelve (12) Corsican-made snubcraft stand as proof of our shipyards’ capacity and the quality of our designs. They are not mere tokens, but the first demonstration of what Provence can reliably place at Gallia’s disposal.

The Commission's main concern is the stealth technology and various technological upgrades in our ships, that we have implemented on these originally-Brigand designs and blueprints, and our various other modifications to it. We would like if you accept them as-is, but not to appropriate our stealth technology just yet. Naturally, they will be outfitted with our engines, of which we will ask that you do not tamper or reverse-engineer them just yet.

In terms of requests, iè, we have a few, but of course that can be met down the line, following our continued, and hopefully increased, partnership with the GNI. True neutrality requires credible deterrence. Provence cannot remain an autonomous stabilizer, if our forces are limited to fighters, gunboats and frigates alone. While our current production is centered on Marseille’s shipyards, the natural evolution of this cooperation will be the reinforcement of Provence’s defensive capabilities; with heavier assets in due time.

Our strength has always been in discretion and reliability. For centuries, we have conducted our affairs quietly, ensuring that Provençal interests align with Gallic stability. That same continuity ensures that any resources entrusted to us remain safeguarded and properly employed. As it benefits not only Provence, but Gallia itself, strengthening the southern flank with an autonomous region capable of preserving order, balance, and stability where chaos otherwise seeps in. We have noticed many hostiles peeking in the Gallic Union and Provence, which only generates unneeded stress and tension across the population. We always have held a respected position in the Gallic Union’s affairs, from the old Monarchy, to the present government. That continuity ensures that any investment placed in Provençal hands is safeguarded by both history, and legitimacy, and by ourselves, just as we guard Provence day and night, just as we guard Gallia's entry-points day and night.

The very ethos, and philosophy of the Unione Corse & Provence, is neutrality. But this does not mean laying down and accepting whatever punches comes at us. While Sirian gunboats, or even frigates are fine, The Commission deemed that they are simply not enough compared to the threat posed by the entire Tau Economic Areas' (TEA) various warring factions. While we do our best to protect both Gallic and Provençal/Corsican interests in the Tau-23 system, and to protect the Gallic Union & Provence in general by assisting Gallic forces, we can't do more for the time being.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

H.S.H. Alfredo Orsini
Principal
