Admiral Sommerville.

Before we address the matters surrounding a potential Gallic threat and the Kingdom's strategic relocations in accordance with the Harris Alliance, we wish to clarify a small confusion in regards to the "leak".

Whilst it is true that partial schematics of the Kishiro Jump Drive were leaked due to interference by the Republic of Liberty, these schematics are incomplete enough that a construction of third-party devices is near impossible for years to come. Lacking crucial data, everyone attempting to utilize these schematics will more likely cause a disaster the size of the Dallas Incident than open a stable rift. You have little to worry in this regard unless someone will attempt this in your backyard.

Now back on topic. The Naval Forces are thankful for this information and will continue to do their utmost to fulfill our own commitments to the Harris Alliance. However, truth be spoken we cannot send considerable forces at this time. The contingent that was sent to assist the disposal of Bougainville Outpost remains on standby within Tau-29 and will heed any call sent by your forces to assist against Gallic activity. Should the Kingdom desire aid in the production of mines, we will gladly reach out to the Keiretsu for you.

In regards to the decision to rig the Gallic Gate with explosives as a worst case scenario contingency, the Naval Forces see no ground to oppose such a decision. Should the need arise, it is indeed the most cost efficient way to stop a Gallic force trying to penetrate Tau-31. From our understanding of the situation, the Gate is in a hopeless state of slow decay anyway and will require a replacement sooner than later. With our reliance on Ageira Technologies reduced, a replacement to the Gallic Gate could easily be a Jump Bridge operated jointly by the Harris Alliance. Though, these are topics for when other crises are resolved.

Should you or your government wish to discuss further Jump Drive related questions in more depth, we would prefer to do so in person.

In service of Kusari,
Goryō
