Please read this important announcement from the Foreign Ministry and the Headquarters of the Imperial Starfleet of the Empire of Relannae!
As most of you may know, the first elements of our evacuation fleet arrived several months ago and made preparations for the arrival of the remainder of our people from our old homeworld. These elements terraformed the continent on which we have established our nation, and prepared the cities for the arrival of the remainder of the fleet.
Less than 24 hours ago, our deep space tracking system detected the main element of our refugee fleet. It is currently less than 260 light years out, and the first few squadrons should be arriving in less than three days.
We have just completed preparing our orbital station, "Far Reach Station" which sits just beyond the limits of the solar system. Due to the lack of a properly built starport facility on the planet's surface, we will be using this station to handle the larger ships in the fleet. In addition, many small craft and some medium sized transports which do not have atmospheric capability, will be moving into geo-synchronous orbit over our territory.
Due to the expected heavy traffic, both inbound and outbound over the next few weeks, we ask all spacefaring nations to please refrain from travelling within the following radial area from planetary orbit, out to the system perimeter. Base coordinates are 13.44Dx22.82D through 312.112/33.54 LS on the standard chart system. We realize that some nations already have satellites and other vital facilities within that corridor and we ask that these facilities be temporarily shifted to avoid risk of collission. Many of the incoming ships have suffered damage during the hundred year flight from our previous homeworld, and others have suffered through attrition. We cannot safely change the vectors of these vessels without risking issues due to possible navigational malfunction. If you are unable to re-orbit your facilities into a non interdicted area, we will, at our expense, move the satellites and facilities for you. We will also open our satellite relay system to relay communications otherwise handles by foreign communications satellites.
We regret the necessity of this drastic measure, however we have many millions of people who have been in space for over a hundred years arriving in the next few weeks. We also apologize that we cannot currently give specific data on exact arrival times. Most of the incoming ships are having propulsion issues and some are being towed. As such, it is impossible for us to be very precise as per arrival times. Once all of the remaining evacuation craft and their escorts are accounted for, we will loosen the cordon and permit unfettered civil space travel. However, we will continue to maintain aerospace control of the area directly over our nation, and refuse access to any foreighn military craft or satellites unless prior diplomatic arrangements have been made.
As a way to repay the inhabitants of our new home for their understanding and cooperation during this critical time, we hereby volunteer the services of our fleet for rescue or other critical non military assistance to any nation in need of it. Furthermore, if any foreign satellites or facilities are damaged during the move, we will repair or replace these facilities with a comparable satellite or facility, free of charge.
Once our ships are here, and we have a chance to do a thorough inspection and overhaul of them, we will begin negotiations for their use as a commercial venture. Our military vessels will remain in system, based out of "Far Reach Station" as a peacekeeping force and as an aid in any situations that may benefit from their involvement. Please direct all questions regarding this memorandum to the Central Ministries Information Office in Relanne City Rellanae.
