Mr Boyle,

We would like to be able to grant you safe passage through the entire warzone in Tau, but unfortunately safety concerns do not allow us such luxuries. I can, however, authorize your passage through the Edinburgh system via a safe route that leads to Planet Harris in Tau 31. From there you are free to travel to the Tau 23 gate where you will find the trade lanes leading to Holman and Kusari-controlled space. This route has been calculated to be the safest for civilians travelling between the conflict zones as the region around the Tau 23 gate in Tau 31 sees relatively little fighting at present and the front lines can be therefore crossed without great hazard to yourself or our forces.

I would like to remind you that the entirity of the Stokes Lane in the Leeds system is closed indefinitely to all civilian traffic without special permit under Admiralty Decree number 29. Kindly do not endanger the lives of your passangers by attempting to cross the front lines at this dangerous chokepoint.

Trusting you find this proposal acceptable,

Sir Stanley Nelson
Fleet Admiral
BAF
