I have affixed my signature to a physical copy of this pact and you will find it arriving via courier at Holmfirth Base within the day. I hope that relations between our factions will not suffer the fate of others who have found themselves on opposite sides of the age long dispute between the Outcast and Corsair nations.
You asked earlier about those belligerents who reside within the Coronado system and aspire to nationhood, whatever dubious there ancestry and heraldry. We avoid their activities where possible, but are not indifferent to the commercial exploitation that accompanies their intrusions into our domain. We have no objections if the Gaians wish to pursue hostile actions against their forces or trade fleet, but we do not wish to be drawn into circumstances which may arouse the consistent attentions of their apparently formidable capital ship fleet. We will be happy, of course, with providing whatever intelligence we may possess regarding their forces, though it would be wise to remember that such information is not gained freely by us, and is among our most valuable resources.
