Citizen TerranC,

We appreciate the interest you have taken in the current state of Sallegan-Zyanrian relations. We can understand your concerns, and those of the Zynarian government. However we feel a subjective view of the situation will result in an acceptance of our position.

A valid argument could be made that the safety and security of the Zynarian people themselves would demand an increased military presence in this sector. The Zynars have been thus far relativly unable to secure their own space to outside incursions. Even the Norak weren't actually repulsed as much as they lost interest in the sector.

Despite our inability thus far to cement a peace treaty between the Zynars and Norak, we do take some measure of credit for bringing the hostilities between them to an end.

Also it is the official position of the Sallegan republic at this time that the Zynars are in breach of their treaty by not inviting the Sallegnas to colonize this world. They have benefitted greatly from our friendship over the years. We are merely asking for fair value in return. We will not interfere in the internal affairs of any sovereign government.

Finally the planet is not suitable for Zynarian psyiology. At the current level of trade the Zynars would actually receive more benefit from the planet by allowing us to colonize it.

It is a win-win for both our peoples. No doubt they will come to this realization soon as well.

If you still have reservations, we invite you to take a visit to the republic and see the wonderful conditions and freedoms that all citizens enjoy. You may make an application for a visa at your local Sallegan consular office in the capital city of your homeworld.

Sincerely,

Vice-Admiral Barnwell
Chief Secretary
Office of Public Affairs
Sallegan Republic
