This change of stance on the matter by the Admiralty would no doubt untie our hands in many ways. While Cape Wrath and the Galloway field are not the ideal place for operating and harboring sizable capital fleets, this change would allow us to employ some of our lighter destroyer assets which should theoretically hold an advantage over the Gallic fleet in such conditions.

One such asset is the Citadella, a Storta-class destroyer currently operating in the border worlds between Bretonia and Liberty. Its most optimal route to the Newcastle war theater would be through Manchester, which brings my query regarding the matter - would it be possible for Maltese Legion forces to be granted passage through Manchester for war ships no bigger than destroyer? The system provides key jumphole links between Coronado, Newcastle, Leeds and Magellan, which our forces would benefit from greatly.

Of course, we would understand and respect your decision if the admiralty of Bretonia declines our request. The Tau corridor, while less flexible and efficient, is still a possibility for our forces currently stationed in the border worlds.
