à qui de droit...
In these troubling times, the Commandos Marine come to the Crown and the Gallic Royal Navy for their support and blessing.
The Commandos Marine (CM) are a small brotherhood of military pilots dedicated to the safety and victory of the Kingdom in its conflicts with usurpers and hostiles to the Crown. Based in Edinburgh, the CM is composed of separate combat and strike force units, each with its own specialty, operating in the Gallic Border Worlds and within hostile systems. The CM carries out both overt and covert operations to disrupt the military and civilian war machines and terrorist cells that threaten our Kingdom in their own space.
Many of my men, young, single, and skillful, have resigned themselves to life on the front lines to protect the homes they cherish and the families they love so dearly. I ask that the Navy and the Crown support us in our endeavors. All are willing to live each day with a bounty on their heads and to perform those actions of valor for the Crown worthy of their deaths by the hands of Its enemies.
Because most of our operations are swift and the bragging rights high, I humbly ask for supply access to the Navy's line of so-called "snub" fighters in addition to our civilian vessels. We have no need or want of cumbersome capital ships with the exception of one "Valor" class battleship, which we are considering using as a forward command, control, and supply base.
Each of us has sworn an oath to protect the Crown from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and though we serve primarily in the former, we offer our skills to the Navy and all allied organizations domestically. If we are called, we will serve.
Should the Navy or the Crown have anything to ask of us, please do so at your convenience. We also welcome to our ranks any military pilots wishing to serve.
Humbly your Comrades and Subjects come before you with our deeds and our purpose.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
