[Alneyan]

The Amon'Krie has never, ever, been involved in an alliance with the Narn Regime on equal terms. The old Amon-Kurath was forced into giving his assent to an alliance with the Narn, a blade in his back. The Narn warfleet was also waiting for this pretence to invasion, and so we had but the choice; an alliance with the Narn was imposed on us, for otherwise our people would have been slaughtered.

Our current operations have been to secure our borders and to retake the worlds the Narn Regime has taken from us with the same threats. We have no wish of expanding our borders to the Manticore Kingdom, but we merely seek to cast the line of our borders in all directions. Would such concerns for our safety be labelled as being "vultures", preying on the dead? If it is so, there are quite a lot of carrion crows in the galaxy.

Our relationship with the Narrewians has certainly not been the best in the universe under the rulership of Amon-Kurath; for this, we apologise, and point out the Narrewians themselves seem not to hold any grudge with the Continuum for our past mistakes. Amon-Kurath has been growing more and more insane, and we suspect the Narns to have acted in this direction; who else could have feed our ruler with smoking herbs and various drugs? Only a few months ago did Amon-Kurath know his demise, and since then the Continuum has been working together with the Narrewians. You might want to know we have been helping them to rebuild their worlds, and gladly give up our colonies in their systems to their control. The Narrewians will vouch for our word and our honourable foreign policies.

Our figures for your mineral production did seem to be correct after all; do not forget to take into account the wonderful technological breakthrough that allows the transmutation of various resources into minerals. While we do not mind your wealth, we are more than concerned about what you will do with such an impressive income, and fear the answer.

Lastly, the Continuum did not hear anything about the reasons of the war with the Federation. And yet, the Federation are our closest allies, our friends and our neighbours. Therefore, you cannot pretend you had "long explanations about [your] reasons for this war" as we heard nothing regarding this conflict. It either means you do not involve yourself in diplomacy, save your own propaganda, or that you did not care about the consequences your actions might have with the Continuum. If you were to break off your attack against the Federation at once, and to take a formal step to improve your dealings with all Empires in the future, we would likely consider a truce with your people. Unlike others, the Continuum is willing to consider peace when a war has been made groundless, despite all your prejudices in this matter.
