To: Battlegroup Auxesia

[AlphaWolf215]

Keeper Raven,

I had hoped it would not come to this. Alas, I was wrong, and I have a request to make of you, and your people.

Four days ago, I alerted the Liberty Navy to the breach of Bretonian law in the Manchester system, specifically firing on your forces, a lawful entity in the laws of Bretonia. It appears the problems surrounding the traitorous Argosax run deeper than I had realised, and we, Bretonia, have offended the Republic by housing you and your forces. They offered us an ultimatum, of sorts. You, or them.

Thankfully I was able to consult with Her Majesty's Advisors, and members of my board, before a decision was made. Her Majesty suggested I offer to you both, as Bretonia has done in the past, to act as mediator in the cessation of hostilities. If you accept, myself and Prince James, Duke of Dundee, will invite representatives from You, Battlegroup Auxesia, and the Republic of Liberty, to convene on Planet New London to discuss the way forward in way of reparations, and forgiveness, of all parties involved. We, the representatives of Bretonia and the Crown, believe this to be the most beneficial way to resolve the issues at hand.

Unfortunately, I must ask something else of you, if you accept our offer of mediation. The Republic of Liberty is deeply distressed that a "stolen" Overlord class Dreadnaught is in the hands of another group, without their express permission. I implore you to offer any Republic technology back as a goodwill gesture, to kick start the negotiations. I'm sure we can find some kind agreement on compensation in our talks.

I hope you will accept this offer. Liberty has shown interest in this, I pray you find the same. Bretonia does not wish to loose either of you.

On Behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, and Her People in the Realm of Bretonia,

Michelle O'Brian, Admiral of the Fleet
First Sea Lord
Bretonian Command
