Good Day to the Buro,
My Name is Mason Hunt, Colonel of the Bretonian Intelligence Service. I contact you to day on a less than pleasurable matter. Today, not too long ago as a matter of fact, We found three Cruiser of Rheinland origin, All three of them, flying the banner of the Buro. Upon questioning the Captains of each Vessel, they were coming up with poor excuses and testing the Patience of my Men , and the men of the Armed Forces. Visual Evidence has been added at the end of this transmission.
We come to you with this matter so you can provide us with a direct answer as to what these Vessels were doing in our Space, and to give you the opportunity to sort this mess out before it gets more worrying than it already is. Your pilots did not only test our patience, but also tried to evade following directions given by the local forces. We will not tolerate any behavior of this sort.
I am well aware of previous Service Vessels in Rheinland Space, but this is not a Transport vessel in our Capital, these are Three well-equipped Rheinland Warships.
I expect an answer soon.
For Queen and House,
Mason Hunt
Colonel of the Black Guard

Abend, Colonel Hunt.
On behalf of the BDM, I would like to state the following:
The vessels shown to be encroaching upon sovereign Bretonian space are neither Buro nor Rheinland Military sanctioned assets, and are not operating on behalf of the house of Rheinland.
As all serviceable Rheinland warships are currently monitored in their deployments, of which these three are not listed, it can only be concluded that the vessels to which you refer are third party vessels made to appear as Rheinland warships. Third party motives behind this facade, other than what appears to be a deliberate attempt to disrupt amicable relations between Rheinland and Bretonia, are unknown.
Given our confirmation of our non-association with the three aforementioned vessels, we have no interest in what happens to these vessels and their crew should Bretonian law enforcement elect to exercise lethal force in enforcing Article IV, section 4 of the Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law - concerning the illegality of non-permitted warships within sovereign Bretonian space.
Should Bretonian Law Enforcement choose to extradite any captured personnel from these vessels to Rheinland, I personally would be more than happy to ensure the thorough and... unpleasant... inquiry into the attempted damaging of Bretonia-Rheinland relations.
