Honourable leaders of Battlegroup Auxesia,

The Bretonian Armed Forces have a few understandings with the Core, with which, as far as I am aware, your relations are rather volatile. Recently we struck an agreement with the Core and left them a few hangars on Planet Sprague for use, so we could strike down our foes together.
Neither your organization nor the Core are considered anywhere near hostile by the Kingdom of Bretonia, so it would be illegal for one to open fire at another within our space. Furthermore, I am certain that our common enemies would benefit from having your two parties pitched against each other. Can I be assured that Battlegroup Auxesia will not initiate aggression against ships of the Core? Of course, everyone has the right of self-defense. I have requested the same from them, and if both parties agree, we will have one mighty league smiting common enemies in the Bretonian south.

Keeper Endurance,

We are traditionally cautious while working with any organization. Pleasantries are pleasant, but it is practical effect I am after. While Battlegroup Auxesia and the Core are practically effective for us, we will be for you and for them. It is mutual benefit we profit from, and if one party begins to profit considerably more than us from it, then the trade agreement is unfair and needs to be revised.
As you have assured me concerning my question, I assure you concerning yours. Fair by my account.
