Esteemed Representative of Crayter Republic
IMG and Enclave
Dear Sir or Madam,
It might be a surprise that we are reaching to you. I assure you, I do it today without any harmful intentions. Our nations have long been suspicious towards each other and fought a lasting war. Today, however, we have something in common - mutual enemies in the form of Gallic Enclave and IMG. Well, I bring interesting news today to you - those two are working together in Tau 37, proofs can be found below in the message. "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" I say, so why do we not band up similarly to them to bring them to control? We would appreciate any Crayterian assistance in the matter, whether expeditionary fleet to Tau 37 or in other manner. We are ready to sponsor your endeavours in the region should the need arise. Needless to say, your assistance will not go unnoticed and the stance of Maltese Hispania on you may drastically change depending on your role to be played in the conflict.
I don't believe we've met officially over comms, so allow me to introduce myself. I am Trevor Westbrook, Minister of Defense for the Crayter Republic.
I'll be personally honest, Mr. de Silva. I did find it a little odd seeing a transmission from Malta. While I alone don't represent the entirety of the Republic on diplomatic matters, such as this, I hope you'll forgive any rashness here. A man in my position having served in the Military must be expected to harbor some amount of resentment, regardless of the intent of transmission.
However, I digress.
In the aim of securing the IMG's assets to the south of Falkland and Fort Siloso, I'm afraid Crayter is unable to divert any forces to the north to assist you against the IMG. Sparse raids from the Enclave and the like, as well as securing our newly acquired territories, are higher on my list of concerns, and while the IMG and Crayter have been at odds, I don't believe it enough to warrant attacking a station that, last I was aware, was home to refugees from across Sirius.
As a person, I'd ask Malta to hold off the siege, but officially Crayter will not act. You'll have to find support elsewhere in your efforts against our old friends directly. However, do expect us to continue operations against any Enclave warships that we find possibly on their way to assist the IMG.
For those we left behind.

Minister Westbrook,
We appreciate your answer. Your reply was expected, yet we deemed it appropriate to notify the Crayter Republic of the involvement of Enclave with the IMG given recent hostilities between the Crayterians and the IMG. We do not expect you to act on this matter, but if you are informed - you are armed. Beware that IMG can call upon the remaining Gallic royalists to assist them in case you face off IMG in lower Taus.
It's not important who we are except that we protect Malta. Yet, we've fought side by side in New London against Gallia and now we see the same class of vessels being used alongside Gallia, or should i say, Enclave forces.
I'm sure even you are aware of the Republic's past relationships with the Guild. To that end, development of our warships was coordinated with the Guild, and as a result they were authorized to field several Crayter Military vessels for their defense against corporate rivals and the Outcasts of the past. They possess the capability to maintain these warships, and as long as they are within the grasp of the main IMG cell, we cannot do much to remove them without overextending our capabilities.
To that end, if you were expecting us to be able to anything about it, then I'm afraid to say you're out of luck. However, individual IMG primary cell defensive units of Crayter make are well within your realm of capability to remove. I trust this clears up the situation.
For those we left behind.
