À qui de droit,
It appears the Kusari Government is owed an apology and explanation for recent events occurring not twenty-four hours prior to this transmission. As you are no doubt well aware, a major offensive has been launched into the Crown territories by a coalition force of Colonial and Council battlegroups working in tandem. This does not concern Kusari, of course - however, a grievous cause for concern has arisen concerning a freak accident within our logistics division.
Earlier today, at approximately 0840 New Paris Time, a shipment of armaments, supplies, and munitions was due to be jumped to Tau-44 by means of experimental warp technology aboard the RNS Faux Pas. Unfortunately, it appears that the quantum lock dissipated early mid-jump, and as a result our cargo has suffered an IPH - also known as an Inadvertent Precipitation from Hyperspace - and gone some way off course. After some brief confusion on our part, Colonel Lefevre was able to pinpoint the mis-jump location while eating breakfast, as the Sirian news service was currently on air.

While we apologise unreservedly for the destruction wrought on this part of Honshu's ecosystem, I am sure you understand that the ongoing operations in Tau-44 cannot continue without these vital commodities. As such, this message will also serve as advance notice of the Royal Naval Logistics Division's imminent arrival within Kusari space to assist the crown corporations in transporting our wayward goods the rest of the way. We expect that there will be no issue regarding our presence, and we look forward to the cooperation of Kusari authorities in resolving this issue.

Fortunately, Planet Honshu's main areas of habitation were left untouched by this accident. Yet, the damage done is not insignificant, and there is no doubt Kusari government will be requesting House Gallia to send envoys, so that a joint damages assessment can be undertaken, and proper reparations agreed on.
That said, it is likely you feel unconcerned by such trivial matters, Maréchale LeBlanc, given the uneasy situation Gallic Royal Navy is facing in the Taus. In order to alleviate your difficulties, your request to see Gallic Royal Navy logistic divisions allowed in House Kusari sovereign space is hereby granted for the duration of the crysis.
Ministry of Defense has been duly informed and your convoys can expect Naval Forces and State Police to protect them during their transit.
Respectfully,
Sanada Manobu,
Ministry of Foreign Relations.
