Starfliers representatives,
We are sending this letter in light of the recent Bustard license approval made by our fellow compatriots in the Home Office with the aimed goal of establishing the basis of a mutually beneficial and responsible relationship between the Kingdom of Bretonia and your representing Starfliers organization.
We wholly understand and hold in high regard the interest shown by Starfliers in conducting business inside the Kingdom's vast reaches and with Her Majesty's allies. We wish that such productive cooperation would continue into the coming years, most especially as our House seeks to attract and make new foreign partners and allies that may conduct official business alongside our main representing bodies such as BMM, Gateway, amongst others.
In spite of this, it is also the foremost priority of the Ministry of Defence to assure that the security of all civilians, and that of the civilian and military traffic, is understood and recognized by all parties willing to enter the Realm. To that end, we want to put further accent upon the operations conducted by Starfliers as shown in the past.
As the matters presently stand, we would appreciate discussing with the leading official of Starfliers towards receiving a guarantee that Starfliers will not offer information such as but not limited to scans to spatial objects, or collude with groups recognized as hostile or ill-willed by the Kingdom of Bretonia as per the Charter of Interstellar Law, due to the posed security risks.
We also wish to be informed of the diplomatic standing of Starfliers with other organizations and Houses, as we wish to act with utmost of diplomatic tact in this affair such that operations are not disrupted.

Leon Vicci, Starfliers To: Ministry of Defence, Kingdom of Bretonia Subject: Surprised, but not unwelcome
This is unexpected. In the midst of a neural-net restructure, I didn't see this message until now. Apologies to the Defense Secretary and their staff. I'm Leon of the Starfliers, I guess you can call me the Leading Official of my company.
I'd like to thank you for continuing to keep us registered within your space, as it does allow us to continue our work unhindered within your space. We may need to talk more about extending this registration across my company rather than a single vessel, but this is a topic for another time. As I'm the leader of this research enterprise, I can give you my word that any and all information recorded within your space will only be used by the Starfliers and Bretonia as a whole. I can confidently say that our jobs across Sirius has not landed us in your House, despite the application to become registered and the occasional transit through of course.
If you're asking how we are in Rheinland, Gallia, Kusari & Liberty... that's an easy one to answer. I guess we're somewhat recognized within Liberty for our work, however the rest of the Houses haven't had the same chance to get to know us. All in all, you can have some peace of mind as we'll gladly do some work within Bretonia and co-ordinate with your corporate entities. The older message I had sent out hasn't gone unnoticed, as it's regarding price cuts to our services from quite some time ago. Your government would be happy to know that we no longer charge for our most popular services.
Hope this serves to answer your questions. Thank you again for contacting us, not every day do we get a message from a House's Ministry of Defense.
