Sub: Explanation
Greetings leadership of the Colonial Republic. We haven't had the honor of talking with you ever since the alliance against criminal activity that plagues the independent worlds.
A while ago one of our pilots had the chance to talk to one of your people and the things he had to say suprised us. I need to ask you if what he said was true or just the opinion of a minority among the Republic that has different approach on things. I've attached the discussion so you can see it with your own eyes.

RE: To: Colonial leadership - SummerMcLovin - 01-02-2013
Admiral Brass,
Communications between our nation and your movement has been rather sporadic to say the least. I am Commander Roger Anders, current leader of the Republic's military forces. I have heard several reports on your forces fending off pirates, Gauls and the Maltese alongside ours, and your presence is appreciated.
I must admit to being rather surprised at the details of the conversation you have attached. I have only recently fought alongside the captain of the Nightfall, and he did not seem the sort for this... idiocy. Perhaps the cowardice of the Gaul we fought has convinced him that war is unimportant. Perhaps he has forgotten what it is to be a true Colonial, and does not think of those we have lost to the Royalist menace.
There was a captain with a similar intention; I attach the conversation as an excerpt from the following communication for your reference.
I wish to clarify that the captain is a part of our reserve forces and speaks neither for our administration nor the majority inclination of the Republic's citizens. Our cooperation will be limited to against the above mentioned parties; the Colonial Republic will not join you in your war against Liberty.
With all due regards,
Commander Roger Anders

I'm glad that you responded so quick. The Legion never expected the Colonials to assist in the war against Liberty since we understand the position you're in currently. Thank you for providing us with an explanation nevertheless.
Brass out.
