Jake Logan, first i want to say i really feel sorry for you, being held foolish by cheap bretonian propaganda.
KNF does not fight bretonian public, which are driven into a war by a greedy company and an honourless government.
We came into Tau's to aid independent miners, people leaving the bretonian governmental and corporational subpression. Bretonian forces, driven by BMM head were the offenders and their only goal was to eliminate the IMG in Tau's as an opponent to BMM.
With this act of war, bretonian forces have violated negotiated treaties and the state of Tau's as independent systems. KNF interfered here with show of force and to ensure Tau's remain independent, a step BMM head did not expect.
What have they done? Instead of retreating behind bretonian borders, BAF launched a number of cowardly attacks, which weren't as surprising as they thought. They lost a huge number of warriors and ships. KNF high command was foolish enough to think BAF and BMM have learned the lesson, but the greed for Tau ressources was bigger than the wisdom and the responsibility towards bretonian public. In fact, they hired individuums, BHG always hunted for an income and lost members to, namely Molly's and Outcasts. They did it only to delay the day BMM have to leave Tau's. They spent no thought about wellfare of bretonian public or other smaller corporations, like BHG is in Bretonia. The only interest were credits, profit and sirius wide monopol of mining Niobium and Beryllium. They earned a war, they will lose. I'm sorry for the brave bretonian warriors falling for nothing, but a brave soldier can't win the war, if the government consists of touchable cowards.
Enough of lessons in history. Our offensives into Leeds and other systems only have one meaning, to force the bretonian government to surrender, but it means to drive deep into bretonian territory, occupy system by system and disrupt the economy until there is really nothing left for bretonian government to hold on. Our experiences have shown, they wont surrender at any sooner point. We do not fight the public, but bretonian forces often hide behind them, so there will be victims, unfortunately, but KNF cannot be blamed for. We also do not fight BHG and there are no plans to force any Bretonian out of his home. KNF is not interested in breeding room for Kusarians. In the contrary, as soon as bretonian government will surrender we need forces to protect the bretonian public and keep up law and order. BHG will be such a force. Remaining BAF and BPA will be too weak to accomplish it, while BHG still will be strong, knowing bretonian territory very well.
To summarize, KNF does not want to have "xenophobic" practices in Bretonia. We just want to end a war, bretonian government and BMM have started. So there is no reason for any civilians to be afraid of what the future might bring.
To direct the matter personally to you. You have nothing to fear, BHG is not our target. No BHG will be attacked, if they stay beside, but be asured to face the consequences if you open fire onto KNF vessels.
We defeated BAF and still do, so please, don't be a fool and think you can do better than house miltary forces.

Regards
Inuye Toshi
