Good evening,

Just under a week ago, a combined flotilla of Crayterian and Octavarian ships engaged an Enclave raiding force of significant strength in the vicinity of Minato Harbor here in Tau-44. According to reports in front of me from Commander Miller, who was in overall command of the Octavarian force, as well as Commanders Kim and Cerise, the outcome was less than ideal. To put it bluntly, we got our asses kicked. Fortunately, we only lost one ship, Commander Miller's Enyo-class Assault Fighter. Commander Cerise is currently overseeing repairs to the Unforgiven, and we expect to have her back to fighting trim very soon. We lost seven crewman aboard the Unforgiven when the compartment they were working in was opened to space, but sustained no other casualties. Overall, it wasn't good, but it could've been a lot worse had the Enclave not withdrew back to their own occupied space.

When the Enclave return, and make no mistake, the Enclave will return now that they smell blood in the water, we will need to do better. I have well over a hundred thousand civilian lives resting on our best efforts, and I know you do as well. To that end, I propose we contact the Marine Nationale Gauloise and arrange a series of wargames to better prepare our forces. Aside from the obvious benefit of training with forces with similar equipment and combat doctrines as our enemy, forging closer ties with our northern neighbors would allow us to better coordinate our disparate forces against our common enemy.

I have not yet contacted the MNG, preferring instead to confer with our confederal partners in the Crayter Republic first, but the MNG, and the Gallic Confederation as a whole, have just as much incentive to check the Enclave's ambitions in the Taus as we do. If you agree with my proposal, however, I am willing to initiate contact on behalf of both our nations.

What do you say, Admiral? Are you interested?

Good evening,

I'm glad to hear that we're both on the same page on this. I'll be contacting the MNG shortly. I'll make sure you're looped into the comm so you won't need to get all the details secondhand. As always, it's good working with you and the Crayter Military, Admiral.

Good evening,

I assume you've been following my communication with Commandant Vaillant of the MNG. So far, they seem receptive, and they proposed that we hold the wargames in Tau-44. I see no particular reason to object to that suggestion, but I wanted to get your thoughts before going further. For my part, I think we should accept and suggest that a future round of wargames be held on their territory in return. What do you think?
