To the esteemed Paul Abel, Krüger Mineralien.

I bid you good day, sir.

Your corporation shall be made aware that the Empire of Kusari seeks to assist your nation to come to a peace agreement with the Gas Miner Guild. It would be wise not to commit anything making the situation worse.

We recommend Krüger Mineralien to remind themselves of the Treaty of Nevers, with special attention to Article 4 and Article 5. If you wish to be persistent about fighting the Gas Miner Guild, we give you the kind advice to do so outside of Sigma-21.

Additionally, we will make you aware that due to the uncertain nature of the Kolleda, all and any Rheinland activity in Sigma-21 will be kept an eye upon.

With cordial regards,
Toshinori Kojirou
Minister of Foreign Affairs

To the esteemed Paul Abel, Krüger Mineralien.

I bid you good day, sir.

You are correct, they never signed it, thus they are not bound by its articles. Naturally, they end up violating them.

It is most unfortunate that your vessels get attacked, there was a reason behind our recommendation, as it is clear the Gas Miner Guild will not back down until an agreement is found. One the Empire of Kusari wishes to aid your nation with, I shall remind you.

In regards of Article 4: 4.3. No Signatory shall undertake or permit others to undertake any military action into Sigma-21 for any purpose, save by specific request by the SAC for policing or defensive purposes.

Legally, the SAC never requested assistance for defensive purposes, nor did they specifically announce a case of Article 4.3.1.
Given the fact the SAC never did so, Article 5.2.1 is not in effect, thus forbidding Naval Forces or Rheinland Military intervention.
This may be due to the ill-fated withdrawal of all Rheinland representatives from the SAC a while before the outbreak of internal turmoils on your side and no attempts of new representatives to re-establish contacts, as far as we aware.

We will inform you at this point, that the Treaty of Nevers is currently facing a re-negotiation process, with special attention being paid to the unfortunate status of the SAC following the prior mentioned withdrawal.

As a friendly reminder, Article 6 would also apply to the Kolleda's continued presence in Sigma-21. "Article 4.2. No signatory shall build or station military or state assets of any kind inside Sigma-21." would apply as well.
We are so nice to overlook this in the ongoing discussions with the Empire of Rheinland though.

With cordial regards,
Toshinori Kojirou
