I will be giving a brief sitrep of the diplomatic situation with Bretonia. As you may know, I am Revenant, I was asked to testify on this scenario, as the other individuals who evaluated the situation, voted, or even partook, are dead or out of action.
At the time, I was one of the rulers who passed the initiative to return the blockade to Bretonia. But, I have long since retired from such position, I am no longer the Keeper.
Truthfully, we're not entirely sure as to why Bretonia declared upon us after our efforts of assisting them in the Gallic War, amongst other threats such as the Corsairs. Some vague claims were made without evidence, but no actual standing was made in their assertion. I can only make assumptions of corruption within their ranks, or that certain
external influences interfering with their own agents perception, but that merely remains speculation...
Bretonia had barred our people from their space. We returned the same gesture, disallowing them from Inverness, encouraging them to open up diplomatic lines. They had declined such for some time.
And then they had the crass to try and break through utilizing the Corsairs allies, the Gaians, in a collaborative stance. Ultimately, they had failed. The breaching ships were disabled. One diplomatic effort was made, but no clear result was made from it.
We were never interested in war with Bretonia, and we still do not hold interests in such, for our objective is complete, Inverness was liberated from their
control, and they have had sufficient harassment for payback. There is simply no need for further conflict, however, their pride may be impacted from the loss of their perceived "dominion" over the wilderness, we have no doubts in mind of their intentions with their allies of assuming another inevitable loop of revenge.
I will forward you the relevant documentation, however, bare in mind during the second great Neural Net outage, there may be missing data.

Though, you say it is of no grave concern. Why does this conflict concern you now? Are they urging you to act against the Directorate?
