Following the deplorable events which occurred in Kyushu system between Kusari Naval Forces and Gallic Royal Navy, the ruling body of the Republic wishes to make the following statement.
1) On the Gallic Royal Navy decision to intervene in Kyushu system.
The Republic of Kusari expresses approval to the help and efforts made by the GRN in assisting our House in combating the alien threats, which are universal and ever so far reaching. Unfortunately, perhaps due to specific cultural nuances in the Gallic language, or in terms commonly employed by the Gallic Royal Navy cadres, the message provided by Grande Maréchale Lucie LeBlanc seemed to infer to more than a strict military joint operation against the phenomenon in the Kyushu system.
Before the Government was able to instruct the Naval Forces about the procedures to take regarding the Nomad incursion and the Gallic participation, several elements of the military have mistakenly taken the esteemed Grande Maréchale words as a threat to the sovereignty of the Republic, which they are bound by oath to protect.
Kusari Naval Forces present in Kyushu orbit at the time of the engagement, expressed how concerned they were to see the GRN task force personnel take on themselves to enforce Gallic laws in Kyushu system as if they considered it as House Gallia sovereign space, thus giving the impression the Kingdom of Gallia was intending to scorn the agreements signed between our two houses.
As the GRN has accurately observed, Kusari enjoys a state without war with any foreign states, but is no stranger to conflict, namely from dangerous internal disturbances. That the KNF in its vigilant efforts has perceived a close neighbor and stable partner such as Gallia as an immediate threat is regrettable, and we offer our sincerest apologies in the disturbances caused by this incident.
2) On claims of "disturbing rumours regarding Kusari-Libertonian movements in [Houses] border regions" (sic).
This information comes as a surprise to the Government of Kusari, for there has been no record of any outstanding movements in the Liberty border, from either side, in joint operations or isolated patrols. Much like it is expected by KNF and GRN to maintain regular contacts to foster cooperation and understanding on security between borders, the Republic of Kusari maintains the minimum required of communications with its peers in Liberty on the matters of trade, transit and mutual border security, so that border disputes and incidents are non existent.
3) On the matter of diplomatic communications between Gallia and Kusari.
In order to avoid further incidents such as this, the Republic of Kusari politely asks the Kingdom of Gallia and its representatives to inform us beforehand of any actions or decisions that may involve the Republic of Kusari state, its people or territories, or any of its lawful agencies. In this case, it was unfortunate that GRN decided to enter House Kusari sovereign space without consulting with its command or the State authorities.
Consequently, the Republic asks Kingdom of Gallia representatives to seek acknowledgement and approval by the Republic of Kusari, or any lawful agencies that have been given powers to intercede on behalf of the state before taking such actions.
That being said, it is the express wish of the Republic of Kusari that peace and cooperation reign between Kusari and the Kingdom of Gallia, and that together we may conclude the task we set upon, to drive out the scourge of the alien menace.
We are extending this channel to include the designated representatives of the KNF, so that they may express their opinions on joint cooperation in the Kyushu operations.
The Government remains attentive to any requests or concerns the Kingdom of Gallia may have over the current matter.
Respectfully,
Sanada Manobu,
Ministry of Foreign Relations.

À qui de droit,
The Kingdom of Gallia condemns the hostile and deceitful attitude shown by representatives of House Kusari. There can be no excuse for the despicable and unwarranted assault on the relief taskforce sent by the Crown to combat the alien threat, and no amount of explanations or honeyed words can counteract the hard evidence available to the Gallic Crown on this matter.
RNS Nice attacked and disabled by Kusari forces, as recorded by Lieutenant Alicia Blanchette
Full audio logs are attached to this communiqué, and serve as Maréchal Alice Marie's viewpoint for these heinous crimes against the Crown.
In light of the evidence available to this ministry, the Gallic Crown hereby issues the following demands:
• The Kusari Naval Forces accepts full and total culpability for the events of 25. février 740 AGS, and issues a public statement to that effect.
• The Republic of Kusari pays a sum of 25.000.000 francs in compensation for the disabling of the RNS Nice, and issues a formal apology to the friends and relatives of its deceased crewmembers.
• The Republic of Kusari pays a sum of 150.000.000 francs in compensation for damages to the RNS Montpellier,RNS Saint-Nazaire, and RNS Grenoble.
• The Gallic Royal Navy is granted full and comprehensive extraterritoriality in the Kyushu system until such a time as the Gallic Crown deems that the alien threat within has been contained beyond doubt.
Once the preceding terms have been met, the Kingdom of Gallia will be able to overlook this betrayal, and further normalisation of diplomatic relations between the Gallic Crown and the Kusari Republic can be approached.
Dans l'attente de votre réponse,
Jean-Baptiste Barbeau
Ministre des Affaires étrangères
