> Unioner Commander,
>
> Sounds like you are hard-pressed, perhaps you'll call on your Corsair allies? I'm of a mind to direct raids
> more often into your space than not. Siding with Corsairs who not only attack the fatherland but also
> most everything that moves in the nearby Omegas is treasonous in ways that go beyond the pale.
>
> I'll rebel against the government, against the corporations that make it their puppet, against the lies
> perpetrated by the Rheinland state. But I won't support or be supported by a pack of violent outsiders
> with no business in or near Rheinland, nor will I give reprieve to those who do so.
> ...
> The above two paragraphs are what an idealist with no practical thoughts might say to your advances.
> While it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to speak ceasefire with your lot, there are sensible reasons to do
> so and so I will offer a one-month truce with conditions.
>
> Here are my terms:
> 1) [RHA] and [Ghosts] may operate in all of Rheinland space without molestation by [W] combatants.
> 2) [W] pilots will stay clear of Dresden and its adjoining Omega systems.
> 3) [W] pilots seen grouped or working with Corsairs will be attacked on sight.
>
> It pains me to grant any reprieve to friends of the fatherland's greater enemy, but we hold out hope that
> you will one day realize your mistake and align yourself properly to fight for the greater good of
> Rheinlanders.
>
> I await your answer, good day.
