From the desk of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Jien Kogen of Kusari
Guildmaster,
The Treat of Aomori in no way stops us frm sending our ships to Kurile, nor would we have signed any treaty that stated that. Now, you are correct that Sigma 17 is in fact open for GMG expansion as it is open for Kusari expansion. That said expansion does not mean taking over Kusari holdings there. Kurile belongs to Samura and Kusari, any attempt at hostilities would be a violation of article 2.6 of the Treaty of Aomori. The KNF has ships stationed at Kurile, an attack on the Planet would be an attack against those forces stationed on the planet. Kusari has always had a garrison of KNF ships to protect the planet, and that will not change. In addition I have ordered additional ships from the Imperial Guard to move to Kusari to make sure no problems arise. These pilots have orders to protect the planet and Samura ships from any agression on the part of the GMG.
I want to be clear here Guildmaster, If you attempt any action against Planet Kusari, it will be a violation of article 2.6 of the Treaty of Aomori and will be considered an act of hostility against the Kusari government and will be treated as such.
Once more I will implore you to move of the path to open conflict and instead allow our two groups to find a mutually benifical arrangement.
