Update:

Mr Linhardt, SEO

Your request has been denied. We cannot understand why you require a pirate vessel, when a replacement Golem would be sufficient. Your comments about parts are also of concern, and raises questions about your source of said parts. We have chosen not to pursue this line of enquiry at this time.

Ms Cross, OS&C

Your request has been flagged following further information from our colleagues in the Home Office. We have been made aware of the situation surrounding your restricted goods license, and of particular concern is your standing with the "Gallic Union". What you claim as neutrality, is seen as a significant security risk within the Ministry of Defence, and in flagrant disregard of the continued attempts to finally settle the reparations from the Gallic War.

These are not points in your favour.

At this time, we see no reason to grant access for the Karuizawa Amaterasu Liner, as there is no purpose it serves that cannot already be served by your existing liner fleet. Your application is subsequently denied.

Godspeed.

ESTABLISHING SECURE TUNNEL ... DONE! To whom it may concern at the Bretonian Foreign Warships Database, My name is Dr. Lucia Vicarro, and I represent a Zoner Medical Firm operating primarily out of the Omega and Omicron Systems. We are currently in the design and planning stages with Bretonia Mining & Fabrication for a state-of-the-art Medical Facility, utilizing the base BUSTARD Carrier superstructure. Relevent data has been included in this transmission for your Office's review. The hull is planned to be launched from the Isle of Skye Shipyard. After a brief hull launching ceremony, the vessel would then need to be trawled through New London and Cambridge to Omega-3. Vicarro Medical Group personnel would then be on-boarded at Freeport 1 to conduct fitting of ship facilities over the coming months. As such, pursuant to UKBCIL section 3.4 we would like to request prior approval for transit through Bretonian space. Correspondence with BMF Administrative Offices can be forwarded upon request, should additional clarification or confirmation be required. Respectfully, Dr. Lucia Vicarro | Lead Research Director | Vicarro Medical Group [ENCRYPTED FILE DOWNLOADED] [DECRYPTING CONTENTS...DONE!] SEVERING SECURE TUNNEL ... COMMS CLOSED

To the Esteemed Officers of the Foreign ad Illegal Warship Office,

My name is Yukihiro Fujimoto, representative of the Orbital Spa & Cruise legal offices and regional manager for Kusari.
We are writing to you in connection with the application submitted by our company on 10/10/834 for a passage licence concerning our Amaterasu-class liner TE-Karuizawa within the territories of the Kingdom. As the aforementioned request was denied, and nearly a year has now elapsed, we wish hereby to appeal your previous decision.

After due consideration, our legal team has decided to take the lead in submitting this renewed application, as we deemed our Director’s temperament to be somewhat impetuous for the delicate tone such discussion requires.

With these premises in mind, we would like to address the points raised in your prior communication, and subsequently propose new elements in support of our appeal.

1) Relations with domestic entities hostile to the Kingdom of Bretonia

Orbital Spa & Cruise expressly denies maintaining any form of relation, let alone neutrality, with factions or entities hostile to your Kingdom.
We firmly condemn the unlawful occupation of the Dublin system by the Mollys forces and, at the same time, reaffirm our hostility towards all pirate and terrorist factions operating within your territory, including but not limited to the Corsairs and the Outcasts.

2) Relations with Bretonian Defence Forces

Likewise, we take this opportunity to reaffirm our positive reputation and long-standing cooperation with the Bretonian Police Authority and the Bretonian Armed Forces—institutions which, for centuries, have stood as a bastion of civilisation and security for our vessels and our guests.

3) Relations with the Gallic Union

It is undeniable that our company operates within the territory of the Gallic Union. In order to do so, a certain degree of neutrality towards their armed forces and gendarmerie is, of course, required.
We are fully aware of the embargo imposed by your government, the Kusari Empire, and the Crayter Republic upon said Union—an embargo justified by the regrettable and unforgettable events which took place during the occupation of your territories.

However, we wish to draw your attention to a subtle yet important distinction: it is not they who conduct business with us; it is we who conduct business with them.
While this may appear a mere legal nuance, the implications are material. Just as the embargo is intended to weaken their economy, so too do we contribute to that purpose by imposing ourselves as a monopolistic presence in our particular market niche.

They do not profit from our activity; we alone do.
The average Gallic citizen wishing to enjoy a holiday may do so only aboard our liners, in our resorts, within our orbital hotels. There exist no domestic equivalents of comparable standard. And we intend to keep things like that.
Hence, what they spend does not benefit their economy, but rather flows exclusively into ours.

We do not engage with them on equal footing; it is our dominance they tolerate, not their advantage we enable.
We therefore respectfully ask: why impose restrictions upon us, when other corporations operating within your borders—such as ALG, to name one—openly provide services to the Gallic government, directly supporting their economy, and yet continue to act freely within Bretonian space?
One of their facilities orbits a mere few clicks from your capital, and yet they are not subject to comparable scrutiny.

4) Current disposition of Bretonian Defence Forces

With the ongoing reconquest of the Dublin system, we are fully aware that the bulk of your Armed Forces are presently committed to military operations in that region.
This situation, understandably, leads to a shortage of available escort units for high-value civilian targets such as our liners.
Under such circumstances, permitting the entry of an Amaterasu-class liner—a vessel capable of defending itself even against numerous and well-equipped adversaries—would relieve your Navy from escort duties, allowing your ships to be deployed elsewhere, while simultaneously enhancing the safety of our guests and your citizens aboard.

5) Current Orbital presence within the Bretonian Kingdom

Following the departure of the Shetland, Orbital Spa & Cruise has reduced its operational presence within Bretonia, resulting in noticeable inconvenience and disruption to your citizens and visitors, who can no longer enjoy our services as they once did.
Granting passage to a vessel of such capacity would restore our operations to their previous levels—to the direct benefit of your people and their well-being.

6) Existing licences held by Orbital Spa & Cruise

Both the Kusari Empire and the Crayter Republic—your close allies and co-signatories in the treaties concerning mutual defence and the containment of the Gallic threat—have granted unrestricted passage to the Amaterasu within their respective territories.
Naturally, we have reached with them the same understanding we would gladly extend to you: the vessel shall not traverse Gallic space, and no Gallic citizens or goods shall be allowed aboard.

For years, our company and your Kingdom have mutually prospered—with millions of your citizens having travelled as our honoured guests, with thousands of your soldiers cared for aboard the Shetland during wartime, and with hundreds of thousands of your subjects safely repatriated once hostilities ceased.

We sincerely wish to continue along this well-charted and fruitful course, without allowing minor incidents to cast a shadow over the long-standing friendship between our institutions.

We therefore renew our request for reconsideration of our licence application, and herewith attach the full technical specifications of the vessel for your review.

To our dear Bretonian friends,

Whilst the IKN-Reiwa repeatedly visited the Bretonian Kingdom already, both our Foreign Ministries seem to have missed handling the most basic paperwork. As acting Captain of the IKN-Reiwa, I wish to remedy this circumstance and ask formally for the IKN-Reiwa to be incorporated into the Kingdom's Foreign Warship Database.

Please find below the some details for your paperwork:
