This is Admiral Richard from the Crayter Republic. I am sorry for our silence but we were busy consolidating our gain in tau 44. We are almost finished now.
The Crayterian Fleet turned it's eye on our Bretonian ally and we find that things are not looking well. With that in mind, I had ordered the Battlegroup Hades and elements from Phobos and CIS units to proceed to a systematic destruction of the supply lines of Gallia. We will be ruthless and we will strike mostly at their transports while they are in the Tau region and Edinburgh. We plan on using our small vessels such as our Hydra class and wings of Pythos and Nyx to search and destroy any IDF or supply ship that we encounter, while our Thanatos vessels will strike at the wings of Gallic fighters or easy target capitals. We will use the knowledge of Tau asteroid fields to our advantage.
Also, I ordered the battlegroups Nemesis, Valkyrie, and Hercules to get ready to enter Bretonian space to assist the Bretonian Fleet in their combat against the Gallic invaders. The ships will be fully complemented by Thanatos class vessels and Hydra-Class, as well as Pythos and Nyxes.
To secure the Cortez corridor, we are ready to detach the Zeus, a vessel under commission of CIS, and Battlegroup Ares is ready to proceed to Cortez to join in securing the system from Gallic influence. Any Bretonian elements are more than welcome to join.
I discussed with Ares Logistics and the Ground Forces and i was informed that he is ready to dedicate 10 Divisions to the Bretonian front, mainly in attacking the Gauls on planet Leeds and Harris, to cause as much distruption as they can. Our Marshall is ready to open a channel with Bretonian ground forces to further coordinate, but already, first units are touching down on Leeds as we speak.
You are not alone in this fight! The Crayter Republic stands by your side!
For Victory and for those we left behind
Richard, out.
Signed, Michael Richard

Esteemed Fleet Admiral, your offer for help is truely welcome. I assume you have gotten a good enough picture of the recent events to see how dire the situation is for Bretonia. If we loose New London we loose our home and country.
The queen decided to stay on New London to rally the public for the battles to come and I do not even want to imagine what it would mean if the Gallics convicted her.
Our will is not broken though, the Armed Forces and Police command as well as all influential corporate managers pledged their will and dedication to the defence of the crown and kingdom, our soldiers have fought more battles than some parts of the sector have ever seen and they hate the enemy and what he stands for from the depth of their heart.
The defence of New London is planned out and we do not intend to let the gallics win, ever.
I can only express my gratitude that you fight to not let our people loose their homes and lifes, I imagine your people understand the best what that would mean for them.
If you need anything to support your fight in the Taus, be it support in combat or a shelter you might contact Providence station. I am not sure wether you have heard of it but they will answer. These men aren't regular soldiers but they are as brave and battle hardened as any soldier of the armed forces. I am afraid that is all we can offer for the Tau region but I assume every bit helps.
