I understand how such a message may - and will come much to your surprise, but the situation have changed drastically and staying aside from it means leaving billions of lifes behind to die in a nightmarish disaster. Despite the tensions between the Guild and the House that suffered the most from the Gallic advantage - our allies have not left us behind to expose our role in the development of Toulouse to the Crown, and that really saved us a lot.
I will be brutally straightforward: Leeds is about to share the fate of Toledo. It is encircled with Triumph-class destroyers capable of atmospheric maneuvers repurposed for low-orbit bombardments, the goal of which is, apparently, to cause planet-wide seismic activity and bury the cities in the seas of lava and molten stone.
Now is not the time to divide people into Bretons and Gauls. There, on the surface - billions of innocents that have never asked to be stuck between the flames of two warmongering nations, and, furthermore - they don't deserve to perish in those flames.
My orders are simple: all available freighter vessels that are not occupied in the Tau-23 Niobium development are to have their transponders temporarily substituted into neutral, and to be assigned to procure the evacuation of civilian population of Leeds to the more secure Liberty regions, where they will temporarily be able to settle planetside until the crisis is resolved. The Covenant of Auxesia have promised us to provide the cover for our relief efforts. All Guild personnel is to not interfere with the relief efforts by any party affiliated with Bretonia, directly or loosely.
The order is effective immediately and to be executed at a swiftest pace, time is of the essence here.
