Dear Lady-Senator Dewa Lanadi,
While the Minister of Defence is setting up the command post for fleet coordination, I thought it would be pertinent to request permission to use the hyperspace lane in

10 -5.
The Astrian Colonial Authority wishes to aid the Veolian Commonwealth with defending the Adii Nasla System in

10 -4 against the Slave Rebellion, whether there is a larger incentivised effort by the Union or not. To facilitate this better the Astrian Colonial Navy First Fleet would like to use the Veolian hyperspace lane to travel to

10 -4 along with a supply fleet. Additionally I would also like to request permission to use the lane for a return journey should it be necessary.
The reason it is not certain a return passage is necessary is because if the Slave Rebellion Fleet retreats we may end up pursuing them, which will likely result in a different return journey.
I would also like to point out that with this permission it will be far easier for the Astrian Colonial Navy First Fleet to join up with Veolian fleets and head to the Adii Nasla System as a single group, rather then trickling in one by one. According to our military experts this is more beneficial.
If you or your government have any concerns regarding this matter please feel free to contact me.
With kind regards,
Lord-Senator Kachiso Doshima
