Fleet Admiral,

You would normally receive orders from the government via the minister of defence, but this is more of a letter of information and guidelines, so do not be surprised.

Bretonia signed a defensive pact with Kusari and Crayter in May, which is directed against Gallia. You can find it in our treaty database, but I will enumerate all its articles here, for ease of access.

Treaty of Harris

Treaty of Harris, First Chapter

1. Hereby, the state of war between the Empire of Kusari (further: Kusari) on one side, and the Crayter Republic (further: Crayter) and Natio Octavarium (further: Natio) on the other side, ends.
   
2. Kusari will return Barra Anchorage to Crayter.
   
3. Kusari recognises the Tau-31 System as a territory of the Kingdom of Bretonia (further: Bretonia) and Crayter.
   
4. Bretonia recognises the Tau-29 System as a territory of Kusari.
   
5. Kusari has full rights to position a military outpost at the Tau-31 Jump Gate in the Tau-29 System.
   
6. Kusari will allow Crayter to peacefully tow the remains of the Helios from Tau-29. Crayter will compensate Kusari with 50,000,000 credits worth of niobium or beryllium, or in currency.
   
7. Bretonia will allow KNF ships of all sizes and up to one fleet at a time to be present in the Tau-31 System for the sake of performing action against pirates and criminals or upholding the clauses of this treaty. In exchange, Kusari will cover 50% of the planned cost of the Stokes Station reconstruction project.
   
8. Kusari, Crayter, Natio and Bretonia will form a defensive pact against the House of Gallia.
   

Treaty of Harris, Second Chapter

1. Neither Kusari, nor Crayter, nor Bretonia, will claim state ownership over the Tau-23 System. Tau-23 is designated a system under mutual protectorate. Any corporations registered in Kusari, Crayter or Bretonia will be allowed to exploit the resources of Tau-23 at their own will and divide them among each other, without state involvement unless there is no other solution. No Gallic corporation nor the Gallic state will have any kind of access to Tau-23. The system's legal tenants have the right to turn such back, arrest, confiscate or destroy. Military forces from Kusari, Crayter and Bretonia may patrol Tau-23 for the purpose of fighting piracy and protecting the system against Gallic entities.
   
2. Bretonia will send a list of demands to Gallia. These will include and be limited to:
   • Gallia is reminded to follow all decisions of the Leviathan Accords, except as said here.
     
   • Gallia will immediately extradite Admiral Louis Dupouy, who was in command of the Dax Fleet during the Glassing of Leeds, to Bretonia.
     
   • Gallia will immediately notify Bretonia if any surviving legitimate members of the DeFrance dynasty are found in Gallia and extradite them to Bretonia as soon as possible.
     
   • EFL will provide free maintenance to all elements of the EFL TLaGs network in New London, Leeds and Tau 31, for the following 10 years.
     
   • IDF will rebuild or finance the reconstruction of what prewar spatial infrastructure is left to rebuild in Leeds within the next 10 years.
     
   • GMS will finance the colonisation of Planet Carlisle for the next 10 years.
     
3. If any of these demands is not met by Gallia, then Kusari, Crayter and Bretonia will place a total embargo on all and any ships coming to and from Gallia.

I sent a letter with a seven day deadline to Gallia five days ago. In case that the outcome is negative, your patrols in the Taus should be ready for possible new orders in two days.

In Her Majesty's Service,


Lady Sarah Mountbatten
Her Majesty's Principal Secretary for Foreign & Colonial Affairs

Lady Sarah Mountbatten,

The treaty Bretonia has made with Crayter and Kusari is one which should have taken place sooner as despite the recent conflicts of interests in the Taus, as Gallia represents the biggest danger to all our nations. Nevertheless, the rest of the Armed Forces will be informed about it and ordered to prepare for operations within two (2) days.

If there are any updates on the situation, report over this channel. Orders will be delivered as fast as possible to the units in the field.

Arthur Spencer
Fleet Admiral
