Konnichiwa Colonials, One day ago, two of our vessels were attacked and destroyed by Bounty Hunters, stating that they were working under your contract, without a valid reason, except for the already mentioned contract. As you can imagine we are highly interested if said bounty was placed upon our people, as well as the possible reasons for this. If this bounty is nothing but a lie of these Hunters, to justify attacks on innocents, we would like to know what you are going to do about those people, as their are clearly criminals. And another thing that would be of interest for us, is if you are going to pay for the damage people working for you caused.
Sister! I hate to interfere in your stuff, but I say, the Colonials are bad news! They regularily shoot our Outcast friends and are extremely bloodthirsty. I do not hink the Hunters lied, it's very likely the Colonials want our beautiful heads.
I am Iana Ujan, Head Diplomat for the Office of Foreign Affairs.
I must express my deepest apologies in the delay in replying to your message.
Our forces were recently under attack from a rapidly growing mercenary threat, apparantly claiming a 'big' bounty on the Republic.
I can safely say that the Colonial Republic has no bounty on you or any of your forces and I hope that any information you have garnered from our Republic can verify this.
I understand that you are angered sisters. Such a question and a lack of a reply can only lead to certain conclusions.
However I ask simply that you consider our past histories.
The Colonial Republic is larger than your organisation, that is a fact we can both attest to.
We have never attempted to attack your home of Tau-65 however, even with our entire fleet positioned next door in Tau-44.
It is my view that the GC are not like the Outcasts, who peddle their drug for their own selfish needs, but instead fight for a fairer and more balanced society in a House dominated by outdated tradiations and discrimination.
The use of Cardimine in this is not neccessarily a bad thing in my eyes, as the drug itself does lend itself well to enhancing bodily performance.
Unfortunately, while the drug's production remains in the sole hands of the Outcasts, the Republic cannot allow it to spread through it's population, it would simply mean victory for the Outcasts and slavery for our people.
The CR and GC have had an unusual past together however it has never been filled with hatred or constant bloodshed.
It would seem that there are forces afoot that are trying to damage both of our groups through inciting conflict between us, whilst they themselves target us with their mercenaries.
I merely ask that you trust in my words and if not, trust in our history together.
We have no reason to attack you.
Why would we do so now?
Thank you for your time.
