As you may or may not be aware, the system of Cologne has fallen to a major Red Hessian incursion. Given the system's importance as a major trade link between us, we believe that this issue concerns you as much as it does us. Our forces could launch a campaign to retake the system, but we should like to inquire into the possibility of a joint operation, which might be a chance for both our people to forge a bond in the fires of conflict.

If you have no interest in this then we ask only that you keep us informed of the situation from your side. The Red Hessians are not a blight we would wish on anyone.

In addition, we wish to take this opportunity to formally invite the Confederacy of Gallia to re-establish it's embassy on New Berlin if it has not already done so.

Kind Regards

Elise Adelheid,
Minister of Foreign Affairs.

We are aware of the whispers of violent skirmishes all over; and the mentions of civil war all over our space, it is important to note this is not necessarily correct. While we are aware there are pockets of people who seek to cause death and destruction, specifically the Hessians and supporters of the former government, we have managed to secure and bring peace to a large portion of Rheinland.

However, in regards to the situation regarding the Red Hessians in Cologne, we have been watching this closely and with great interest. While we are aware this project was initially was supported by the Federal Rheinland, you are correct in your assumption that we wish to keep this super-highway between southern Gallia and Rheinland operational. It will be greatly beneficial for both of us. As the movement of your fleet to Zurich is due to the threat posed by the Red Hessians, and is to safeguard critical Gallic infrastructure and vessels located in the area, you will find no resistance from the Empire of Rheinland in regards to this. We will offer additional support where possible to assist in protecting said infrastructure and vessels passing through the region.

We respect the decision to temporarily refrain from establishing your embassies within Rheinland, I hope that in the future you are willing to trust in our capabilities to assure your safety in our space. When you feel it is suitable to address this, you will have nothing but our full support. I can assure you we have fleets in place to protect all people - and that includes your people - operating in space controlled by the Empire of Rheinland. We hope it will not be necessary, we will do what we can to assure the continued safety of all embassies in Rheinland.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Minister of Foreign Affairs.
