To the Admiralty of the Liberty Navy,
Greetings on behalf of the Admiralty of the BAF. Firstly, let me offer my condolences to the crews of the Ottawa battlegroup that were so vicously set upon in Leeds, using yet another new weapon of our enemy.
I have a simple, yet extremely important request to make of your Bretonia based fleets. As you are certainly aware, the Battlegroup Essex, under my command, has urgent need to return to Dublin to make safe the system, and keep our saber to the back of the considerable Gallic alliance forces that are attempting to flee to Edinburgh via the passage in Dublin.
I will not lie, Dublin is a mess. Mollys, domestic concerns I know you care nothing for, are as ever an issue. The IMG, recently acquiring the ire of Liberty, possess a base in our path. The Coalition, with whom we have a very tenous accord of non-violence, are known associates of the Mollys and have caused your fleet members issues in recent past. Not forgetting the Athos, and the GRI forces with which we hope to give chase.
All these issues and more hidden I am sure.
To deal with this, and to gain our own passage into the last bastion of Gallic power in Bretonia, we wish to request the assistance of one of your fleets now stationed in New London orbit. This is the request of the BAF Admiralty, which I present to you now.
And to be clear, if the Coaltion, who we generally are trying to avoid provoking, cause the Liberty Navy any issues, the BAF will make clear who our allies are.
Admiral John Redmond

Admiral John Redmond,
The Ottawa fell in a hopeless attempt to rescue the population of Leeds from inevitable catastrophe, whom we all failed. The Navy's condolences to you and Bretonia, and mine to my people.
For the matter of hand, the Navy understands the strategic value of Dublin for Bretonia as well as for us, and the danger of allowing remnant Gallic and Corsairs forces alongside with other hostile-aligned unwanted forces in the system such as the Coalition and Mollys to maintain presence in the system.
The Miner's Guild seem to be keen to on causing more trouble on top of what they already put themselves into, the Navy would be pleased to assist in putting the terrorists in Bretonia and Dublin in their grave.
Unfortunately, however, the Navy is not able to commit a full battlegroup of what could have been Concord Battlegroup to Dublin as the general consensus after Leeds and the destruction of the majority of the Gallic forces, as well as the loss of the Ottawa, has been to assume a supporting role from behind the front-lines and refrain from mobilizing an entire battlegroup on the offensive unless absolutely necessary.
The Navy, however, can still offer the allocation of a Battlecruiser Division to Dublin to assist the Essex Battlegroup in securing the system. Should that prove to be sufficient, we can get the mobilization underway at the earliest.
Needless to say, I'm glad we're on the same page in regards to the Coalition, admiral Redmond.
Awaiting your response.
Natalie Avery Reaser.
Admiral
Liberty Navy First Fleet,
