Following Auxesia's actions in the Cortez system, the Crayter Republic has tasked me with submitting a formal response.
While it is unfortunate that the last week and a half have been a constant downward spiral in relations and the fruitlessness of Ms. Ward's efforts are evident, Crayter will not continue silently hoping for a solution to present itself. It is clear now that Auxesia and its leadership have no intention of holding their personnel back from repeated antagonization of and attacks on Crayter forces, or are incapable of doing so, which leaves us at a critical point.
From this moment forward, any Auxesian vessels found operating within systems patrolled by the Crayter Military will be considered hostile. The Republic has no intentions of coordinating with a group that works against the Republic's goals and works side-by-side with our enemies. We have no interest in peace with a group that only seeks a fight. Crayter ships will continue to coordinate with Bretonian forces against the Royal Enclave, and should Auxesian forces interfere they will be added to appropriate target lists as we see fit.
It's a shame that an organization with respectable goals consists of disrespectful men and women. You were warned of the actions that would follow, yet you ignored them.
I'm sure your Enclave masters will be pleased.
For those we left behind.

Are you even capable of backing up these outlandish claims? Or are you going to continue barking rhetoric for the sake of blind hostility?
Our intel shows that you went in to assist Bretonian forces, after you were warned not to jump in to assist them, and our forces had to pacify them for siding with the Bretonian side of the conflict.
[06.11.2020 22:24:49] A/)-Krauklis: Crayter, buzz off or you're in violation of the treaty.
[06.11.2020 22:25:26] =CR=Zulu-: There is no treaty that keeps us form shooting genociadla enclave ships.
[06.11.2020 22:25:33] A/)-Krauklis: We are engaged with the Bretonians.
[06.11.2020 22:25:35] A/)-Krauklis: Don't help them.
[06.11.2020 22:26:28] BAF|LtCdr.I.Heinrich: I'm a teenager, don't jump me like this!
[06.11.2020 22:26:34] A/)-Krauklis: You're in the forces, shut it.
[06.11.2020 22:27:54] Fortis-2: This is BAF patroll Fortis-2, seems you're in trouble, may if I hop in?
[06.11.2020 22:28:42] =CR=Hellfire: Oh look at that
[06.11.2020 22:28:49] Death: SC-Waldorf.Salad was put out of action by A/)-Krauklis (Gun).
[06.11.2020 22:28:59] MdG/-Samuel.Deschamps: The usual cast of clowns. Colonial Remnant.
[06.11.2020 22:29:03] =CR=Hellfire: Well then, weapons free, assisting Bretonis!
[06.11.2020 22:29:06] A/)-Krauklis: Right, what to do with the Crayter assisting Bret-
[06.11.2020 22:29:09] Fortis-2: What a mess...
[06.11.2020 22:29:13] MdG/-Marc.Toure: No mercy.
[06.11.2020 22:29:13] A/)-Krauklis: Alright, I warned you. Assist them, you die in the line of fire.
[06.11.2020 22:29:15] =CR=Hellfire: Let's roll!
And furthermore, I have a frightening report that shows you have the gall to go out of your way to abduct some of our menial drones!
We are strong believers that unity and collaboration creates the bonds of a fruitful future, war and discord does not permit for such but enables behaviours such as pride, greed and sloth. But we will defend our right if we must. It is a grave insult to the Technocracy, and to your political standing to the sector, that you would take our civilians with little reason other than blind rage with no backing. I understand your frustration of being controlled by your upset Bretonian overlords, but you don't need to project your struggles onto us...
So. I will keep this concise and simple so that you can understand clear as day: You will return our frightened drones back to us to prove you are truly interested in peace and prosperity. Crayter will not involve themselves with the war with the Liberation of Inverness which involves Bretonia and the Technocracy, and are to not engage if Technocrat vessels are in battle with Bretonian elements.
Prove to me that you didn't just become the tyrant we both fought against in the past, in the Gallic war.
You have quite the gall to ally with enemies of our Republic, open fire on our people, and tell us we're in the wrong. Quite the gall, indeed.
You've backed the Enclave in Dublin. You've backed the Enclave in Leeds. You've backed known terrorists in Cortez and opened fire on a vessel in Yuma orbit over pilots that engaged first. You have no respect for the processes the Republic holds as law, and thus no respect for our people. I see no reason why any pilot of the Crayter Military should listen to your people in the field.
Let me remind you: We continued to work towards a deal even as our own people were under your gunfire. If this were Liberty, you'd have been barred entrance from day one and properly extradited at the moment of entry. Ms Ward's efforts continued in spite of Military pressure because the Republic believed it was possible to reason with you. You instead defended terrorists in spite of Military and Police personnel informing you of their status.
Code:
[09.11.2020 22:52:12] A/)-Krauklis: They are not in violation of Liberty or Bretonian law.
[09.11.2020 22:52:20] Charlie.Jukins: You know, what you really should be reading is this fine paper!
[09.11.2020 22:52:24] =CR=P-I.Cross|C: They are in violation of the Treaty of Curacao.
[09.11.2020 22:52:28] =CR=P-I.Cross|C: So, yes. They are.
[09.11.2020 23:22:43] =CR=Hellfire: Well then, Charlie, you are set for termination, and so is your friend Ulysses.
[09.11.2020 23:22:44] =CR=P-I.Cross|C: But whatever.
[09.11.2020 23:22:45] A/)-Krauklis: I told you, Crayter became the tyrants.
[09.11.2020 23:22:50] "Ulysses": For fucks sake.
[09.11.2020 23:22:52] =CR=P-I.Cross|C: Shut up, Auxesian.
[09.11.2020 23:22:53] A/)-Krauklis: You touch them, you die.
I have no tolerance for backstabbers, nor liars and hypocrites, so this exchange is over. Crayter forces will act as they will in the field, and will continue to aid Bretonian forces against the Enclave. Your men will be dispatched back to Curacao where you can pick them up once their trial has been finalized and their sentences served. However long that will be, as either minor offenders or as prisoners of war, is up to you.
For those we left behind.

Your words are filled with anger and meaningless rhetoric to deflect from the point. Where is your proof? What terrorism? In Cortez? What Enclave? There is no backstabbery from us, but rather from your people and their inability to reason. It has been warned, even foretold, by our previous conversations that this would inevitably happen again. It did. It happened. The grey situation we pointed out in the anomaly of the old treaty. And here you are, acting as a basic primitive, bickering because you desire to have a moral high ground here where there is none to be found. We held our patience, despite the numerous infractions - including the unauthorised entry of Crayterian war vessels in our sector, bending the rules temporarily to maintain peace.
But here we are; Crayter going into our territory and kidnapping our civilian populace with fabricated motivations after being told to not interfere with the war. This is not an act of righteous justice, this is an act of pure cowardice from wanna-be imperialists.
You will forego from these 'trials' and return them.
It's clear you don't understand the wrongs your people have committed. How you gloss over the fact that Crayter is reacting due to repeated attacks by your people is proof of this.
I'm not sure how many times it can be explained to you before you'll finally understand, but I'm not going to sit around and keep fruitlessly trying to make you. You've had plenty chances despite my own comrades in the Military urging the Government to react, and quite frankly it's just a waste of effort.
Your people will be returned to you when we decide they should be. This is the price of breaking our laws. If you have a problem with it, then you can file a formal complaint. You can expect them on Curacao within a week or two's time. Rest assured, however, that they will be afforded the proper care and treatment as befits any individual who commits a crime in the Republic.
For those we left behind.

The fact that you still continue to justify yourselves from committing a war crime, kidnapping innocent civilians from our land - who also stands by and fails to protect their own legal collaborators from hostile terrorists, is a clear indication to us that the Crayter Republic is a rogue nation of barbaric delinquents. We have no interests in dealing with such primitive backstabbing low lives.
Any Crayter vessel obstructing Technocratic vessels will be eliminated. Any Crayter vessel entering the Southern Indepedent World region will be disabled and detained. Any Crayter vessel assisting the Bretonians in the war will be eliminated. Understand that your actions will have consequences.
