Ms. Ward,

I speak for the forces of the Colonial Vanguard, Crayter's history has seen us arise on various occasion to face the needs of the people. Though the government of Coronado may disapprove of our methods, our larger goals and allegiance are aligned, this fact is irreproachable so let us not get into a battle of ideology as I come to you with grave news that Crayterian lives stand in the balance over:

I bring to a matter of critical urgency for it is one beyond the scope of the Vanguard. With the increased aggression of late shown by the Technocracy of Auxo by way of their incursions into the Capitol, they continue to amass their allies to fight on their behalf, some of whom are most disturbing.

This matter could be discussed in extensive length due to the strange occurances but the most urgent that the Republic need be made aware of, that can be immediately dealt with is the Liberty Insurgency. Though in the past we've mostly ignored each other, they have been seen on multiple instances in recent weeks allying their firepower with Auxesians against Crayterians. Many lives have been lost due to this unfortunate turn of events and it has been witnessed in several skirmishes both within Coronado and Inverness on joint operations with Cryaterian First Fleet forces.

This diplomatic transgression by the Insurgency need be called out and addressed as soon as possible.
Please, act quickly and decisively on this matter so that Fleet elements do not have to hesitate in knowing who their enemies are.

'Vagabond',

The Military can confirm your claims. Though up until now we've received only spotty reports of Insurgency aggression against the Republic, the Ministry of Defense had elected to mark them as rogue units of the main Insurgency fleet. After the action today and the reports from Military forces in the field, it is clear that there is a more concerted effort by these previously neutral ships to encroach on our territory and ally with our enemies.

I am already preparing a diplomatic burst to their leadership, which should go out within the next few hours. However this matter is settled, I will ensure that the outcome is relayed through this channel so Vanguard forces can act accordingly.

For those we left behind.
