Subj: Uch’Mhagk System Incursion
Admirals,
I’ve been in contact with the Republic Government regarding the reported Romulan incursion into the Uch’Mhagk System. They categorically deny any involvement and insist that the action must be the work of the Romulan Star Empire or some other remnant faction.
Despite the Klingon Empire’s internal turmoil, it is still the intention of the Federation to maintain our alliance – even if we must make that effort alone for the time being. Attacks on our allies by hostile foreign powers cannot be tolerated. In matters where internal House politics are not directly involved, Starfleet is authorized to render military aid to KDF forces, if requested, against purely external threats.
Is is the hope of the Diplomatic Corps and the Federation Council that the simple reaffirmation of Starfleet’s commitment to defending our neighbors may be enough to avoid violence, but we must be equally prepared to stand behind that commitment should some choose to challenge it.
