Esteemed representatives of the Gallic National Intelligence in the Omicrons,

We have taken note of your presence in the Omicrons, a sector rather distant from Gallia. It is a pleasant surprise as the Omicrons are currently plagued by issues that concern the national security of almost every major house, yours included. I will be candid: Rheinland and Liberty are currently brutally fighting over any and all ground they can secure in the Omicrons. They are profoundly ruthless in their attempts of securing the Omicrons for themselves.

Both Liberty and Rheinland make unrestricted use of Nomad technology and targeted infectees that wreak havoc in the Border and Edge Worlds, including the Taus, to keep other powers away from these sectors.
However, the KOI believes that as unaligned powers of the Taus we hold significant advantages against Rheinland and Liberty:

• We do not fight each other aggressively (Apart from minor incidents in the Taus that are far from ruthless).
  
• Neither of us is currently engaged in a feud against one another in the Edge Worlds.
  
• Neither of us is currently experiencing a comparable activity level of Nomad thralls.
  
• Both of us consider the Taus a gateway to their homes, one that both of our houses should protect from alien influence!
  
• Both of us are unwilling to release aliens into open space nor accept alien caused colleteral damage.
  
• There is little bad blood between the KOI and GNI.
  
• Kusari can access the Omicrons via the Sigmas and Taus!
  

Moreover, the Order is currently capitalizing on the increasing alien activity caused by the LSF and MND. We believe the Order to be conducting a massive recruitment campaign right now. It is quite clear that this is phase one. Phase two being a massive spree of terrorist attacks all over the map.

Unfortunately, these circumstances work towards Rheinland's and Liberty's favour as all passive houses will be caught in the ugly crossfire making them unable to counter Rheinland's and Liberty's hyper-aggressive expansionism. At that time both Rheinland and Liberty might romanticize their expansionism as a "peacekeeping mission" garnering additional public support.

We need to work together to keep our homes safe. We cannot wait until the MND and LSF-engineered Nomad threat crosses our borders. Never again shall this happen.
A joint operation would ensure continued cooperation and peace between our houses aswell as secure valuable alien technology, while denying the ruthless and the mad power.

In the event that you turn out to be cooperative and like-minded, we will gladly exchange valuable intel with you.
I am looking forward to your response.

Serving Kusari and the Taus,
Agent-6999
