Good day, Ladies and gentlemen.


Commodore Ryan O'Dukes of her Majesty's Merchant Navy speaking.


For a long time, our houses have worked together when it comes to supporting each others war effort, rescuing non-combatants or providing huminitarian aid for millions of refugees.
As you may have noticed, our recent efforts to secure our supply lines lead us to the space of Kusari for some specific goods, which we may not aqquire anywhere else in Sirius.

Due to the oftentimes very dangerous routes back through the TAU systems, I hereby request the alternate passage through the space of our long-time allies, the Republic of Liberty



The orders of our treaty with Kusari apply, since they do not differ in most points from the agreement between our fleets. Since our usual strength of escort ships to Kusari will be lower than it is appointed between our nations, there shall not be any problem with the number of escort ships that will enter the space of the Republic of Liberty. If there is a difference nevertheless, the surplus forces may wait for the next convoy near an installation of your choice under oversight of your own personnel.


The treaty between the BAF|MN- and Kusari is attached HERE
I will also link the official papers between Bretonia and Liberty HERE



If there is anything more of importance, just let me know.



Tally-ho, ladies and gentlemen!
Yours sincerely

Ryan O'Dukes


Commodore
Bretonia Merchant Navy Command

Commodore O'Dukes,

The paperwork appears to be in order. As such, I don't believe any further amendments need to be discussed at this time.

However, if you would oblige me, I would appreciate to learn of your contact in the Kusari Government, as I would like to propose a similar request to aid in military cooperation amongst the houses.

I look forward to your response, Commodore.

In service to the Republic.
