Good evening Zoners from the Baffin sector,

Let me quickly introduce myself, I am Admiral Claire Chandler from the Crayter Republic.

I am coming to you with a request, well more of a discussion on what the restrictions are for the Crayter Military as of now. From my understanding there was a transmission sent to your people a few months back but i am unable to find the transmission. So it may not have been archived. That is the reason I am opening this channel up.

Well let's get down to business. As you are aware the Gallic forces are not only on your doorstep but they are closing in on ours also. They are within Magellan and Manchester but have also made movements into California. With this there is a chance of them being able to find the Baffin sector which will also lead to Coronado sector eventually. I am sure you do not want to have your people harmed in anyway. We understand that you wish to be neutral and not involved with any fights. I also hope you understand than Crayter Republic wish to fight for there space back which is the Tau 44 region. To do this I would like to make a discussion with what freedom you will allow Crayter pilots within the Baffin sector.

So let me explain a little more. Over recent weeks the traffic throughout Baffin has became high with Outcasts, Order and Auxesians. This includes warships, transporters which are smuggling contraband. Contraband which are seen within the Crayter Republic. Things such as Cardamine. There has been alot of this coming and going through Baffin sector and I am sure you have a big understand on how much we had this drug and we do not wish for the Outcast to spread this. So do you allow us to do our duty within the Baffin region? Not only this but start making sector patrols, stops, and cargo scan to make sure everything is clear and safe.

This will be a long discussion so I will wait for the response from your people.

Admiral Chandler.

Admiral,

We fully understand your wish to fight for your space in Tau 44, and all the best in your endeavours. However, we're shaking our robes as to why your struggle to win back Tau 44 might require you to police Baffin, it seems to us like you'll be draining your energy and resources away from your main effort regarding your homeland.

Anyway, yer help ain't required thanks, we'll look after our own turf in Baffin, hired in security would ruffle Eris's hair do and any traffic through our back yard is our concern, don't worry yourselves on our behalf.

Never the less, drop by for a brew and a chat any time ... See you on Pueblo, I'll show you round the Temple.

Regards,

MJR
