To: Foreign Minister Simon Alvarado
From: Secretary of State Amy Bailey
Subject: Anti-piracy
Encryption: Moderate
Foreign Minister,
I believe this would have been the first official communiqué between our governments if not for the unfortunate events which have unfolded in Gavinium and Ashab recently. With respect to Ayacan issues, I first wish to inform you that our embassy has confirmed that no conscription has been instituted in San Carlo. Our ambassador met with Carlano officials who assured us that the exercises will be coming to an end within a matter of days. If this does not happen, please do not hesitate to contact us again and we will inquire further.
The main subject of this letter has to do with events farther afield: piracy in the Lesser Diols. While anti-piracy defensive systems aboard ships have become increasingly effective and sophisticated, such as those on the MV Tempestia, we’re aware that many smaller vessels and companies operating in and around the Ura Sea cannot afford them. Vice Admiral Franklin has made great progress in reducing piracy, but as the recent attack on the Tempestia demonstrated, one task force simply cannot be everywhere at once. Adiron is therefore seeking additional partners in reducing piracy in the Ura Sea.
Our goal is for there to be zero successful attacks and fewer than ten attempted attacks annually. We must make piracy unprofitable and dangerous enough that desperate south Cetans do not consider it a viable source of income. We invite Gran Chaco to play a part in this for the benefit of all international trade in Cornellia. If your government is at all interested, I propose that a meeting be set up to discuss the particulars.
Gran Chaco’s armed forces have a reputation for effectiveness and professionalism, and your government does have a direct interest in Arcologia through Valcarlos. Furthermore, we already find ourselves working together in Gavinium. My government greatly hopes that this could be the start of increased cooperation between Adiron and Gran Chaco in general.
Sincerely,
Amy Bailey
Secretary of State

Subject: Ura Sea
Encryption: Moderate
Director,
I hope this message finds you well. Adiron was as surprised as anyone to learn of the brazen attack on the MV Tempestia. We hope that the crew is recovering from their harrowing experience in the Ura Sea, and I’m sure we are all thankful for the effectiveness of the Tempestia’s defenses. The MV Cora Nevis illustrates the sort of tragedy which can befall a ship once boarded.
Anti-piracy defensive systems aboard ships have become increasingly effective and sophisticated, yet they cannot be expected to solve the problem on their own. The Tempestia and its owners were fortunate, as many smaller vessels and companies operating in and around the Ura Sea cannot afford the same technology. Vice Admiral Franklin has made great progress in reducing piracy, but as the recent attack on the Tempestia demonstrated, one task force simply cannot be everywhere at once. Task Force 52 did apprehend the gang which attacked the Tempestia, but it was unable to prevent the attack in the first place. Lives are still at risk to Arcologian piracy.
In light of the attack on a Valdian vessel and following talks with other regional powers, Adiron is seeking additional partners in reducing piracy in the Ura Sea. Our goal is zero successful boardings and less than ten attempted attacks annually. We must render piracy unprofitable to those desperate enough to consider it a viable source of income. We invite Valdiu to play a part in ensuring that the Tempestia and Cora Nevis attacks never happen again.
Island nations like Valdiu rely heavily on international trade, including with Adiron. It is vital to the regional economy that nations take steps to protect shipping. If this interests your government at all, we hope a meeting can be arranged through our embassies to discuss the particular details.
Sincerely,
Amy Bailey
Secretary of State

REPUBLIC OF VALDIU Onward Audaciously DIRECTORY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS ENCRYPTION: | MAXIMUM | HIGH | MEDIUM | [LOW] | NONE | ADDRESSED TO: Adiran Secretary of State Amy Bailey SUBJECT: RE: Ura Sea Madame Secretary, We thank you for your concern about the well-being of our citizens. Rest assured, the injuries sustained by the crew were minor, and they were returned to Valdiu safely. The Defense Committee of the Republic of Valdiu convened shortly after the attack on the M/V Tempestia and agreed that a policy of intervention against piracy would be beneficial to Valdiu and the world at large; unfortunately, bureaucratic processes and the handling other pertinent issues slowed preparations for the deployment of Merit-class destroyers to the Ura Sea. However, such delays did not weaken our resolve to end the threat of piracy so that all may benefit. I'm happy to, on behalf of the Republic of Valdiu, accept your invitation to aid in the destruction of piracy in the Ura Sea. We cordially invite Adiran diplomats to convene in Prevale to discuss, or we may go to New Laconia at your convenience. May this be the beginning of a fruitful partnership. ~Mitchell Thromright Secretary of Foreign Affairs Director of the Embassy mthromright@valdiu.vld Republic of Valdiu Onward Audaciously Questions?

Secretary Bailey,
We thank you for your prompt response to our inquiry regarding San Carlo. It is comforting to know that they are standing down, though the whole timing of this exercise has been less than ideal.
As for the matter of anti-piracy patrols. We agree that piracy is a scourge, and we would love to see it wiped from this earth. We already run our own patrols around Valcarlos, but it is expensive for us, and our navy is a small one. We would be more than willing to meet with you to find out what role we would be able to play in such a noble undertaking.
Simón Alvarado,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gran Chaco

My dear Mr. Redstone,
It has been too long since I have had the personal pleasure of your company, and wondered if you would be kind enough to attend a small dinner I am having at my residence this evening. It will be formal casual, and will be a light supper as of course all of us are working very hard.
I have the honour to be,
Prince Enoch Tubal-Cain

Subject: Gavinium
Encryption: Hand-delivered by diplomatic courier
Your Excellency,
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits and health in spite of these troubled times. Gavinium has weighed upon my mind and the President’s since Lucian took power. The manner by which he deposed King Maximian was barbaric and disgraceful, and it seems it was an indication of things to come. We could not in good conscience stand by and let him abuse your people.
When I presented your letter to the President, it had an immediate effect. My government had been considering the possibility of direct intervention vs. economic and diplomatic pressure, but it is increasingly unclear that Lucian cares a whit for his people or his country. Your appeal for our support was what made up his mind, declaring that the friendship between our nations demanded it.
Furthermore many of my colleagues were very much moved by the plight of the Shrailleeni peoples in Gavinium. Such wanton persecution must ultimately pose the question of “who’s next?”
You may have seen through the news already, but the Assembly has just voted to declare war in solidarity with your coalition. The vote was tense; we were not entirely sure if it would pass, otherwise we would have contacted you sooner. Our naval forces in Behatza are being committed to carry out reconnaissance and strike at key military airfields. An expeditionary force is being organized as well. In the interests of prosecuting the war and avoiding miscommunications or accidents, we wish to coordinate with your forces, including intelligence sharing, military planning, and preparing for our ultimate goal following the end of hostilities. We are similarly contacting the other coalition members.
It is tragic that it has come to this, but we hope that through international cooperation we can restore the rights and freedoms of the Gavinian people.
Sincerely,
Amy Bailey
Secretary of State

From: Secretary of State Amy Bailey
Subject: Gavinium
Encryption: Hand-delivered by diplomatic courier
Your Excellency,
I write to you now to inform you that my government intends to intervene in Gavinium Magnus to remove Lucian from power. The Assembly has just voted for a declaration of war on Lucian’s regime. Lucian’s acts include regicide and political repression, and they have done possibly irreparable damage to regional financial markets. His regime is clearly unstable, but it hinges on Lucian himself. If he can be deposed, we believe it is possible to restore a functioning government in short order.
We were very much moved by the plight of the Shrailleeni peoples in Gavinium. Such wanton persecution must ultimately pose the question of “who’s next?” Ambassador Redstone also spoke admiringly of New Edom’s resolve on display at Count Sharra’s villa. He appreciates, as I do, your government being so forthcoming with its intentions.
We did not inform you earlier because our government was in deliberations about our response and because of operational security. If you saw the political drama in the Assembly, you can see we were not certain we had the votes for a full declaration of war. Now that the measure has passed, we are committed to your coalition. Naval forces from Behatza have moved across the Vorin Strait to northern Gavinian waters, and our tentative plans involve reconnaissance and strikes on key military airfields. An expeditionary force is being organized as well. In the interests of prosecuting the war and avoiding miscommunications or accidents, we wish to coordinate with your forces, including intelligence sharing, military planning, and preparing for our ultimate goal following the end of hostilities. We are similarly contacting the other coalition members.
It is tragic that it has come to this, but we hope that through international cooperation we can restore the rights and freedoms of the Gavinian people.

Your Excellency,
I hope you don’t think we’ve forgotten about you or events in New Edom. We were of course grieved to learn that President Nicanor’s health has started to fail to such an extent. The question now is if he will recover enough to resume his duties in the foreseeable future, and where we go from here.
Regards,
Paul Fortner
