I wish that I brought good tidings however the harsh reality is that I cannot at this time, I have recently received intelligence from one of our field-operatives within the Ministry of Truth that our mutual 'friends' in The Order have been conducting ship movements close to the Baffin borders, our pilot spotted a ship matching the silhouette of a Order Recon Cruiser moving from the Jumphole towards Freeport 6.
It is likely that this ship was gathering intelligence on the defenses of Baffin to further their agenda in subjecting your people. Be aware my friend, the enemy is moving.

Kallisti!
This is really worrisome news indeed Premier. Luckily the Spinning of the Wheel of Chao is something that we have harnessed quite some time ago, and I can say we have anticipated ourselves to this reality. As we speak I'm having at the Deep Shrine an elite flight instructor from the Gas Miners Guild, who's here to educate the TAZ on their renown defensive tactics. I know what you may say, the Gas Miners are close allies with Order. But they have been friends of TAZ for a long time and their presence here does not endanger us any more, on the contrary, we think these teachings will give us the upper hand when defending the system agains our foes, be it Order or the frog-eating-monarchs.
Despite that, on the other hand, these news force me to issue a request to the People's Republic. We would like to expand our permission of your military presence here, this time with no restrictions to ship classes.
There is one more thing I'd like you to tell me though. What was that Colonial Republic doing while these events took place? Our neighbours are second only to you in the ranking of who we trust the most, and I do know the CR and SCRA have always had a good relation. If I'm not mistaken Premier Katz even offered them refuge in Omega 52 when Tau 44 was overrun by the GRN. It would be very disturbing if we learnt that they're picking sides on this quarrel with Order. It's sufficiently disappointing to know that they will believe Order's accusations towards our group. To know they're aiding them against us would definately be alarming.

Subject: Order Ship movement "It puts me at ease to know your people are taking steps to improve your defensive capacities, the combat prowess of the GMG is renown even here in Omega-52, still their connections to the Order is unnerving, I recommend you keep an eye on your guests to ensure no espionage devices are planted, sometimes even the closest of allies turn into enemies as the Order has done to us both.
The main bulk of our force is ties up facing down the Corsair Threat in Omega-49, however we can spare a few ships to patrol the Tau-Baffin-Coronado sectors more often.
As for the Colonial Republic, while we have a neutral-friendly relationship with their people it is unlikely they will aid either us or the Order as they have much bigger issues with the threat of the GRN, it is in their best interest not to remove the TAZ presence in Baffin as your people provide them a firm front-line against the Royal Navy, to remove your presence would only weaken their position and leave Coronado vulnerable to a northern assault by both the Gallic Royal Navy and the Kusari Republic who they have continued to antagonize. Thus the likelihood of the CR aiding the Order in any offensive actions against the TAZ is extremely low as it runs contrary to their interests.
Peace through Unity" Ben Warner, Premier Sirius Coalition

Kallisti again,
I hope you're right my friend. All this paranoia has me on the edge. I'd never had to keep my behinds so tightly held, but I guess you're right and I'm right in not distrusting allies. Now, I heard you are working at good pace with Grand Flaxian Inquisitor Wyrdmake in Omega 49, but if there's anything you need in the Taus or the I-Worlds, poke me.
