With the situation in Bretonia much the same -- that of complacency -- and the shadow of the Outcasts being, once again, casted onto the Taus, New Tokyo's foremost diplomats have officially given the start to a major "diplomatic offensive", as Lord Mitsuo has thus fair laid out. Focused primarily on contacting Liberty and Rheinland with the hopes of, down the line, placing pressure on New London's government to finally act, and with a secondary front in the Taus, aimed at bringing together the Crayter Republic and Independent Miners Guild on, at the very least, a level of understanding in military affairs while ensuring ironclad defence of Tau-31 and Saga.

Further, it is understood that these efforts have complete support, both from the New Tokyo ministers, the governors of Honshu and Kyushu, but also from the Kusari Naval Forces, whose representatives have long-since argued for a strengthening of ties followed by military action akin to that taken in the Lorraine system years prior to deprive hostile elements of any staging posts.
