Minister,
We apologize for the delay in sending this transmission, however the convoy has reached Sulawesi Citadel several days prior. One liner has been lost whist en route to the Leeds system, but, unfortunate as it may be, the other has reached the intended destination. Going further, we will adapt to the issues that arose during the mission and attempt to provide much better safety for other similar military convoys.
Getting to the cargo, it has been of great interest to deliver the military codes due to their relevance in the coming months. They contain important information about both recent advances of the Nomad forces within the Tau sector, most notably in the Orkney system, and that of the Gallic Navy, as a result of their bolder incursions into the Tau-31 system. We firmly support the Crayter Republic's move to uphold an embargo against the Gallic Union, and, furthermore, wish to ask that the information is closely analyzed and used for immediate effects in the field.
Such a task will be bestowed upon your competent pilots, as the Bretonian Armed Forces presently are not capable of providing heavy support beyond Planet Harris due to a shortage in warships and manpower. In its stead, we are open to providing munitions, of which there remains a considerable amount following the conclusion of the Gallic invasion. Please communicate on this in the next transmission so that we may best coordinate.
We also wish to touch upon the sensible subject of cooperation beyond Tau-31 itself. The convoy was able to safely transmit its information to Planet Borneo, but the lack of support has led to the calling of Kusari Naval Forces ships into Tau-44 due to the appearance of both Nomad warforms and rogue elements of the Royal Bretonian Navy that we believe have been corrupted by the Wild. We hope that this can be remedied at earliest, as both civilian and military traffic remains at a high risk of ambushes without Crayter support on stand-by.
I will await a reply before detailing further proposals for the region, as well as a broader explanation for the events that have unfolded within Tau-44 proper. Inquiries will be answered to in a subsequent communication.
