On secure channels two separate messages are sent from the office of the Consul.
Message one is sent to the office of the Cant Imperial under secure transmissions agreement #18872 of the peace agreement of Niallis:
“Cant Imperial Tyrinthre,
Edanith offers its diplomatic support in your endeavour to annex the space station ‘Libra’, however I must request that the Libra be allowed to maintain trade relations with Edanith and her colonies.
Edanith is unable to commit a military force to aid you at this time due to internal unrest, and should a conflict arise we seek to maintain neutrality.
Nacrus Servilius Quaestorian, Consul of Edanith, High Admiral of the Fleet, Lord of the Twelve Colonies, Master General, Bearer of the Fifth Seal.�
The second message is transmitted to the security forces of the space station Libra:
“Space station Libra,
Edanith will support you should you choose to take action against the Aedolian threat to your independence. We await your word.
Nacrus Servilius Quaestorian, Consul of Edanith, High Admiral of the Fleet, Lord of the Twelve Colonies, Master General, Bearer of the Fifth Seal.�
