Honored members of the Rheinland Bundestag,

Over the years our Houses managed to maintain neutrality and trade relations during your war with Liberty. Now your war with them is over and your peace treaty can serve as a key to open another door between our corridor of trust.

Many times we did attempts to extend our relations further but due to political differences a lot of opportunities were never able to be realized. One of these opportunities was the Omega Alliance - our Armed Forces and your Military - working together to secure the peace between our borders and the Omega border worlds. But now the time has come for us to act.

The revolution army - known as the Hessians in your territory - have suddenly decided to raid our system Omega-3 and even dared to strike some of our patrols in Cambridge system. They were assisted by the crimson revolution - the Coalition and our Dublin rebels - the Molly. Together they are forming a huge force, one that might achieve a lot if they maintain proper communication and organization. Our war with House Gallia is not going well and their invasion in California are rendering some of our supplies from Liberty to reach their destination. Our northern forces are kept busy. Our southern forces - Norfolk's Great Fleet - are unable to secure both Cambridge and Omega-3 alone. At least not anymore - the "Revolution" forces have taken care of that.

These are tough times but the hope is shining above us all. Your peace with our primary ally - Liberty - is now allowing us to work together in a way we have never done before. Our fleets can cooperate and end the "Revolution" before they set in flames of propaganda more of our regions.

In behalf of the War Cabinet of House Bretonia, I request the Rheinland Bundestag to accept our Omega Alliance initiative - together through cooperation between our fleets - to secure our Houses borders. Should you agree to work with us, I will deliver more details about this Alliance.

In service to the Crown,

Baron Firmus Piett, Lord of Jarrow, KBE
Military Adviser of the Armed Forces,
Minister of Defense of House Bretonia

The Bundestag received your communication and the bureau of Admiralty issues, representing the Bundestags position, the following statement:
• Whilst the Bundesrepublik empathizes with the bretonian people in this situation that's their burden to carry, a decission can not be reached yet. It's stated that the Bundesrepublik looks forward to a future cooperation with the Bretonian Empire but the Bundestag will not discuss your request without further information on what's called Omega-Alliance by yours.
The Bretonian Empire is required to provide in depth detail on its intended strategy and the requirements it has set for this cooperation.

Hochachtungsvoll,
Admiral Katja Reichardt

Representatives of the Rheinland Bundestag,

The War Cabinet of House Bretonia have decided to rewrite the old "Omega Treaty" by pushing forward new points of interests for both Houses. For sake of revealing our true intentions to set new stable foundations for a possible future Alliance between our worlds, we have prepared a new treaty, named Omega Alliance. The goal of this initiative is to further develop our relations, so one day to shake hands as allies - working together for a better tomorrow.

B) Trade Agreement

I. The Kingdom of Bretonia will allow unlimited access to its market to: Daumann Heavy Construction (DHC), Krüger Mineralien (Kruger) and Waste Disposal (ALG).
These companies will not have to prepare any licenses as long as this Alliance is active.

These are our requests as far as the treaty is concerned.

While they're open to discussion, we remind Bretonia that the intention of these new terms is primarly focused on helping supply Bretonia with high quality materials and as economical compensation for the Bundesrepublik for the help provided to the Kingdom of Bretonia.

Article A) section II part 6 stands for the partial replacement of BDM vessels should it be required as the Militär may require some time to form the Task Force.
Article B) section II stands for an increased volume of goods delivered between the Federal Republic of Rheinland and the Kingdom of Bretonia.
Article B) section III stands for future cooperation that may be possible should the Omega Alliance prove to be trully effective for both the Federal Republic of Rheinland and the Kingdom of Bretonia.
Article B) section IV stands for an increased volume of goods that can no longer be delivered by the Republic of Liberty due to the supply lines between Bretonia and Liberty being reduced significantly.
Article B) section V stands for the safeguard of section IV and the benefit of the Republic of Rheinland in this kind offer made to the Kingdom of Bretonia.
Article B) section VI stands for the processing of hazardous and harmful materials produced by the conflict, that would be dangerous for the population of Bretonia should they not be properly handled and processed.

Lastly, we'd like to mention that the previous Omega Treaty proposed some time ago was rejected by the Kingdom of Bretonia, but the Federal Republic of Rheinland is ready to cooperate as long as these terms are upheld.

Mit Freundlichen Grüßen,

Bundesminister der Justiz Leopold Richter
