We hear troubling news from our passing by civilians and traders. News that you inbelievably decided to turn on harmless civilians, that are Zoners, which we helped when they were in need together, through our respective nations corporations. back when Freeport 11 was in danger. However, from what we see now, you are starting to become the very thing you fight against, especially in such a critical time, where we divert our forces to repel the Gallic advance, forces that include Crayter's most precious assets, most qualified men, and most dedicated ones. While this message is not a Quorum statement and merely brings you Admirality's concerns. I strongly advise you to focus on the imminent threat and do not chase a wild goose, especially the one that can heavily backfire on you.
While we will continue to assist you in New London front, i must state that Crayter Uniformed Services are… not fond of such warmongering actions and are disappointed. Know that we refuse to take action against Zoners, before even thinking of requesting assistance regarding this matter. We look forward to see that Bretonia finds the right path once again.
For Those We Left Behind!

Esteemed Mr Xander,
I am aware this situation requires some deeper insight to understand our motives. First off, while there are elements claiming that we decleared war to the zoners of Gran Canaria this is not correct. We decleared war to the Zoners actively working with Gallia and attacking Bretonian citizens after the Stirlings relocation into the fringes of Omega 49. These elements funded an organisation called Anti Bretonian Front.
Admittedly, the step into the system of Omega 49 could be seen as agression in the first place, but I do not think that I need to tell you how important it is to keep criminal elements at the borders in check. After the Freeport in Omega 3 is not used as much as a hive for criminal activity any more Omega 49 was the weak link in Bretonias southern defence, a weak link we could not leave unadressed. The escalation of the situation though is not due to our actions, it is due to the Zoners. Our forces only attacked Corsair elements in the region until we were attacked by the ABF. This along with the unwillingness of the Zoners to negotiate, evident by their immediate call to arms, forced our hands.
I want to add that the citizens of Gran Canaria are not in danger and we do not intend to punish anyone who did not directly take up arms in any way.
While i can understand retaliation against Corsairs and defending of borders, your actions are still seen as a tyrannical and outright terrorism by many i heard. There was a status quo, even if it was imperfect and not benefitted you, people got along there and lawbreakers were punished accordingly. I do not know much about Anti-Bretonian Front, however i did not see any zoner group attacking anyone unless you forced their hand, so do believing Zoners did the first move is rather unbelievable.
You also happened to mention "Zoners working with Gallia" which sounds like a fairy tale to me, you have not been in Taus for a long time it seems, you do not know how zoners suffers from Gallia's atrocities there i think. Believe me, zoners hate Gallia as much as you or we do. I would not advise selling that story to public, which has potential to backfire on you even more than the initial "occupation" of Canaria.
As i said before, we are disappointed with your actions and how you turn your eyes on a neutral group of people that pose no threat to you. I advise you to let Crayter logistics vessels into Omega-49 and do not outright shoot them. Otherwise you may find us even more disappointed and an angry Fleet Admiral that is not as polite as now.
For Those We Left Behind!
Xander, out.

Esteemed Mr Xander,
You may not like to believe it but let me prove my claims. The attached pictures were delivered to us by the SIS, I do not know their source but they are not faked for all the SIS's specialists could tell. The Officer present did not record any visual data but supported their correctness.
I value the Crayter Republic as a reasonable state in a sector full of actual tyranny and agression. I would loath to be proven wrong by a decision to ignore facts in favor of supporting enemies of an allie and even more so by supporting those working with Gallia.
I can't believe that you are literally invading a whole planet and annexing a peaceful system just because some rag-tag "fleet" of Zoners opposed the invasion and colloborated with Gallia, by your words. This is like destroying a transport full of civilians and one GRN officer just because there is that GRN personnel in it and committing murder of thousands of civilians for one person.
Such actions are regarded unacceptable by Crayter Republic and our statement stands. We do not support your actions within Omega-49 and we will not assist you in any way regarding this matter.
Furthermore, as a personal note, do not really tell me the sector is full of tyranny, Admiral. You are committing to be the very essence of tyranny as Bretonian Armed Forces. By invading Gran Canaria, you are giving your allies a hard time to defend your actions and i am certain Liberty is considering whether it was a right decision to send their forces to defend you from the Gallia, just like we do. In fact it is even tougher for us. What we sent to reinforce you is roughly one tenth of our whole fleet, we do not have countless warships and assets like Liberty Navy and yet we sent some of our most valuable assets, before you decided to barbarically invade a Zoner planet.
As Crayter Republic, we will be sure to reconsider the intensity of our support, especially after seeing the so-called reason behind your actions.
For Those We Left Behind!
Xander, out.
