Bonjour!

Nous sommes Nathen Roux Of Marne, et Remy Moreau of the Boulogne Smugglers, from The Free Brigands of Gallia. We met two of your pilots the other day in the Gers system. We are both in agreement and have to say it was being quite a pleasant day, until those Crayter fellas, or however they are called, came by.

It has not been our first encounter with them. All of which have ended in direct conflict. This doesn't benefit anyone. This conflict not only disrupts our business outside of Gallia but it also strengthens the Navy's claim on the area, as the few who oppose them bicker with one another instead of focusing on the real threat in the region.

For this reason, we'd like to ask if The Council would be willing and able to soothe this small conflict between the Brigands and the Crayter.

The terms of a ceasefire would need to be discussed, but we'd like to shoe in some compensation for them unjustly destroying our ships on numerous occasions. I, Zero, am normally quite calm and understanding of such situations, and I don't always try and get every extra credit. Yet these damages were very costly so it would only be fair since we acted in self-defence.

We are opposed to the Gallic Royal Navy and we raid their supply convoys wherever possible, but these acts by the Craytarians, who are supposedly their mortal enemies, only seem to give the GRN more power and reduce our influence within the Taus, which is key to gaining more ground and support towards the Sirian Sector.

We lack much presence within the Taus so when our scout ships are harassed by these Craytayrian fools they are stopping us from recognising our true, mutual, enemy - the GRN. We're not trying to make this sound preachy, but we believe in good business and the Council and The Free Brigands of Gallia stretch back centuries.

Nous aimerions te remercier for reading, and hope this leads to a mutually beneficial resolution.

Signed,

Zero
Remy Moreau
