The Republic has, in the past, tolerated you and did not actively seek to counter your actions or your petty acts of terrorism since we've always had more pressing matters to attend to.

Still, seeing as you dared attack us, and more than that, you dared attack at the very heart of the Crayter Republic, on planet Yuma. You'll probably want to know - although your strike-force managed to over-power our lone patrol, their mission was a failure and none of them broke through our planetary defenses.
Even so - this dire attempt at the safety of our citizens will not go unpunished. As of this moment, we will divert our forces to pursuing the Gaian threat.

Consider yourselves warned.
