Berlin III, 2403.0

Admiral,

We are making rapid progress in our dealings with our fellow humans in the Interstellar Alliance. We have offered them a trade treaty, as per your orders. I have every reason to believe that they will accept.

The Yakrin have learned of our dealings with their enemies and are understandably disturbed. We have done our best to reassure them but I am afraid that we cannot have the best of both worlds. The friendlier we become with the Alliance the more the Yakrin will dislike us.

Current information suggests that the Yakrin-Alliance war is a stalemate; neither power can defeat the other's armada. If that is the case, perhaps we can act as the external power that breaks the deadlock and wins the war. There is much to gain from such a situation.

Berlin III, 2403.1

Admiral,

Everything is proceeding as we have foreseen. We established a trade agreement with the Alliance, only to have the Yakrin learn of it and demand that it be canceled. I await your decision in this matter but it is the advice of this Corps that you refuse their demands.

On another front, the Hutt are becoming restless. They must have realized by now that we lack the force to annex them and are reverting to their usual arrogant nature. We have sent them some goods to improve relations, but I must point out that the Hutt are not fools. They know we would be sending stormtroopers instead of goods, if we had them.
