This is an urgent message from the Bretonian Secret Intelligence Service:
Attention all active Privateers, bearers of her Majesty's Letter of Marque,
Intelligence has been confirmed that the Gallic war machine is stocking up along the front. They have had an active supply operation running the blockade into Edinburgh and Leeds for some time now. Please be aware that civilian Gallic trade is expected to be at heightened levels for the time being. Neutral parties may also be involved. You are 'requested' to prioritize your efforts on Gallic civilian traders leading into the Gallic front, in particular, the Taus. Please keep in mind, Bretonia cannot condone acts of piracy inside Bretonian Space like Leeds. However,you are clear to pursue hostile entities like Gallic corporate entities, and engage any military activity. Otherwise, please do not target neutral parties inside Bretonian House Space without the expressed orders of the BAF and an official designation of hostility by the Bretonian Government. Any neutral transports caught hauling goods towards Bretonia outside house space through the embargo zone may be treated with extreme prejudice.
The [SIS] is continuing its own operation to assist the BAF's strict enforcement of the embargo upon Leeds, and we would appreciate the deployment of any volunteer forces to assist our agents in catching blockade runners there. Those forces would be compensated for their direct assistance in the field. All other locally operating Bretonian Privateers in the Taus and Gallic Borderworlds are hearby requested to increase their patrols along known routes in order to exact a heavy toll upon the enemy's supply lines. Please feel free to take any supplies that may be on their way to the front. As always, Bretonia thanks you for your efforts, as they are integral to our resistance of the Gallic enemy. One of our highest priorities is to hinder the enemy's supply operation as much as possible. Any ships willing and able to participate in anti-supply operations can contact me on a secure frequency here to organize our patrols. If you cannot break radio silence, please redeploy as best you can.
