Dragons;

I simply wish to clarify a few points regarding the Consortium's activities in your sectors...

First off, \CS\ tagged vessels will assume command authority of NovaPG tagged vessels within Chugoku, and are under no circumstances to enter Tau-63 without both My and the NPG's express consent. However, we do respect your privacy and have the same problem with commerce traffic that you do. Currently, Consortium vessels are only authorised to pass through Chugoku while en-route to other destinations and not allowed to loiter.

THE EXEPTIONS are in situations where the sector is threatened, \CS\ tagged vessels, warships or otherwise, are obligated to defend as best as possible, waiving their own self-preservation. Chugoku is a vital strategic hardpoint, due to it's possessing Jump Holes to Honshu, Tohoku, Sigma-13, and Hokkaido. Currently, Consortium warships are not permitted to conduct commerce interdiction inside Chugoku, without the NovaPG's consent and request. Though airwatch units are permitted to assist if requested.

Finally, Consortium affiliated and controlled Merchant ships will be bringing supplies to Mito shipyards for the construction of several Consortium projects, as discussed here. All \CS\ and allied merchant ships are instructed to state their status as such. However, if any of them DO violate any sector protocols and My own instructions, destroy them without exemption.

We can replace our merchant ships or aquire new ones quite easily. We cannot risk dishonoring or harming our Diplomatic relations with the Dragons. After our protection mandate over the GC, our alliance with the Blood Dragons and NovaPG is the highest priority.
