Dear sirs, as you may know we are locked in combat with the Colonial Remnant in Dublin. I also understand you have been stepping up attacks on Bretonia. I there for would like to ask for an alliance against the Colonials. The scum attacked us first, although we attacked one of their exploration ships BEFORE I was in command, I asked if they would except compensation or an apology. They denied and attacked Arranmore destroying a cruiser, gunboat, and fighter. I had no choice but to declare war, and I fear if their entire army comes we couldn't hold out much longer. I ask you, our friends, to join our cause. The Reapers of Sirius have already agreed to this and are sending down men to Arranmore. I ask you to consider this letter, but by all means, don't feel like you must help.
