Re: Colonials in the Taus
I know your Lordships have bigger fish to fry, but I find myself forced to ask a question.
This rabble, a population barely large enough to fill a small town, yet armed to the teeth, plagues the Tau systems like cockroaches. They attack, wantonly anything that gets in their way. Operating like Pirates, and have, until recently, Collaborated with the Kusari Emperor now seek peace with Her Bretonian Majesty?
Personally I don't like this attempt of theirs to whore themselves out, being tossed out of bed with the Emperor only to try to hop into bed with the Queen Her Royal Highness is above such behaviour.
I have issued to the Colonial Remnant some key and crucial demands. As you know, my forces have taken the fight to the Kusari, and have struck hardy blows against their economically fuelled war machine, so much so that they cower in their holes when our ships enter Kusari territory. We have even been successful in forcing collaborators such as the Zoners to readdress their principles of doing business with the Kusari menace.
However, the CR support the IMG, defend them even. The IMG have not shed their allegiance to the Kusari Throne, and as such this means that the CR are continuing to Collaborate. I urge your Lordship to consider carefully the implications of allowing these people into Bretonian Territory, and throwing your voice behind our demands.
I am, as ever, her Majestys Loyal hound, though mine and I remain outside of her sight, we continue to belong to her. If she so desires, our hands will be stayed but I must warn her against this alliance.

It seems that I was right in my misgivings about the CR/IMG alliance and their continued collaboration with the Kusari dogs.
I have here recordings of communications frequencies my ship picked up today, watching the Kusari, CR and IMG working hand in hand… supplying MOX (a reliable source informed me) to the Kusari war machine.
This should be sufficient enough proof to expose the lies that these people perpetrate. They have betrayed us, again, for the last time!
My ships will continue to press the attacks against these dogs, and I want you to know, that these enemies of Bretonia will find no quarter, no rest and no peace from my men!
God Save the Queen!

Captain Fraser,
Rest assured that we have not been so naive as to embrace any Colonial propositions with open arms as of yet. We too share your suspicions regarding their underlying motives and feel they have killed too many Bretonian citizens to be warmly welcomed into our space any time soon. However, nonetheless we may consider armistace negotiations, on our own terms, in the interests of the Kingdom of Bretonia as a whole, given the mounting death toll that the continued war brings each day. For now, though, you are welcome to continue hunting Colonial ships wherever you find them supplying or otherwise aiding the Kusari war effort. Note that the BAF standing orders are still to engage Colonial ships wherever they approach our space or positions.
Regarding the Independent Miners Guild, however, our position is that they are officially neutral in the Tau conflict and provide more assistance to Bretonia than to Kusari. Should this position change, rest assured that you will be informed. Of course, as usual, neither I nor the Admiralty Board as a whole take any responsibility for anything you or your men get up to, so feel free to ignore this message. Still, it would be jolly nice didn't cause us too many diplomatic headaches.
