Esteemed representatives of the civilised Houses and sovereign states,

I am writing to you on behalf of Prime Minister Ambrister Jones and her royal majesty, Queen Carina I, regarding recent concerning developments that affect the safety and stability of the sector at large.

The Kingdom of Bretonia wishes to ensure peace, prosperity, and good-will between our neighbours, and believes it is essential that a summit is convened to resolve a number of emerging threats that strike directly at this objective.

Accordingly, we wish to invite representatives of the civilised Houses and sovereign states to New London, so that we may attempt to mediate disputes and establish a treaty framework for navigating the current predicament we all mutually face.

---

Items of critical importance to the security of the sector that must be addressed include:

- Finding mutually satisfying resolutions to the ongoing territorial and legal disputes between the Republic of Liberty and Reformed Empire of Kusari.

- Discussing the ongoing stresses on the Sirian economy, including trade sanctions, embargos, and market uncertainty caused by fears of impending broader restrictions.

- Confirming the Houses' position on the public disclosure of schematics for the so-called Jump Drive, and the lawfulness of its use.

• Determining how the proliferation of this technology may impact House security.
  
• Determining how the requirements of the Boorman Treaty should be read alongside the capabilities of the Jump Drive.
  
• Determining whether a new or revised treaty structure is required to account for the existence of this technology.

- Discussing the belligerent and unacceptable posturing of the Gallic Union in the Taus, and the steps necessary to condemn and constrain their unlawful aggression.

I appreciate that similar requests for such a summit were declined last year, however matters have now progressed to a point where it may soon be too late to step back from the brink. Sirius teeters on the precipice of a peril unseen since the opening days of the Colony Wars or the Gallic Invasion.

It is the hope of Bretonia and Her Majesty that bold action may yet avert a full-blown crisis. In the hope of peace and averting a terrible fate for the peoples of our states, we pray for your attendance.

In service to the Kingdom of Bretonia,

Benedict Thomson
Foreign Secretary
Foreign & Commonwealth Office
Kingdom of Bretonia
