From: Admiral Harold Sommverille, Chief of the Defence Staff
Respected Defense Minister,
I apologise for the lack of response upon this urgent matter, however I can now safely say that a clear and correct decision has been made by the Government of our Kingdom. We have observed the situation thoroughly and considered every option possible for the future of the refugees that are awaiting on Planet Yuma, as the Crayter Republic has claimed already.
As I have mentioned in the previous communication, we have considered and approved the formation of repatriation camps in the near future to accommodate the refugees displaced by the military operation in the Vespucci system. We consider the decision to allow refugees to choose whether or not to return to Bretonia proper, however it is our mutual interest that all of the refugees return to the Kingdom, and, after reporting in at one of the repatriation camps, they will be allowed to return to Planet Yuma should they wish to do so. This is the best path to proceed on and we ask that the Republic you rightfully represent considers our demand as legitimate and in the name of national security of our state.
While the Kingdom of Bretonia is not yet prepared to accept refugees, we believe that, shortly after the defeat of the Liberty Insurgency, our repatriation programme can safely proceed through.
Concerning the status of the current blockade imposed upon Cortez and Magellan, it is absolutely imperative that our forces remain within the region to guarantee the safety of civilian traffic and to ensure that unlawful elements such as the Technocracy and Rogues do not enter the designated refugee evacuation routes. Should the Crayter Navy require any assistance, the Bretonian Armed Forces will valiantly assist at any time.
I hope this clarifies our current stance on the refugee crisis. I wish you a pleasant day, Defense Minister.
Adm. Sommverille, H.
