Mr Fawley, Mr Ramirez, good evening.

I believe there is a misunderstanding between our respective nations about our relationships. The agreement we honoured with Mr Jameson long time ago follows several principles one can summarize as the following : Bretonia do not mess with the Outcasts, and the Outcasts do not mess with Bretonia. Of course we have common ennemies but some other political considerations prevented this agreement to evolve it into any form of cooperation.

A key feature of this agreement is secrecy. You are free to send wings to or from the Omega systems through Bretonia, provided the said wings are stealth enough the BAF wont bother you, on the other hand Outcasts loitering around were never allowed. Outside of the Bretonia Kingdom, simultaneous operations against the corsairs or kusarian forces may happen say, by chance, whereas openly assisting the BAF in House cleaning is highly embarassing. If spotted and caught in Bretonia proper, an Outcast will be asked kindly to leave public area and forcible arrestation will be used as a last remedy only. In case of mutual assistance, none of our administrations should keep official records of it.

Your concern about Bretonia is welcomed and acknowledged, however until we reconsider the question the aforementioned policy will stay as it is. I dearly hope this slight misunderstanding is now dissipated and that we nonetheless maintain healthy relationships. I wish you a good night gentlemen.

Regards,

Fleet Admiral Martin Bridge.

Carina, Regina, Imperatrix !
