Subject: First Contact with the Monarchy of Dovania
Your Majesty,
I am reporting to you on the progress of negotiations with the Monarchy of Dovania. After a brief contact with Princess Violet of the Monarchy of Dovania, I was able to arrange what I believed to be a informal meeting between myself and some of their diplomatic corps to arrange a formal first contact. Unfortunately, the information I was provided with was inaccurate as to the nature of the meeting. I attended the meeting on a Independent Space Station with just myself and two bodyguards attending to maintain a low profile.
I was greeted by over a thousand members of their millitary and assorted members of their goverment as well as sixty powered armor and four tanks. We have very little intelligence on the Monarchy at this time and I expected that they had a similarly small amount of intelligence on us. After Greeting High King Kyro-vek Draguun of the Monarchy of Dovania, they revealed that they have what they described as nearly three billion greviances against us. I red though them and they were surprisingly well informed. I don't know how they got the information about us without us also learning more about them. This may be a matter for SAINT to look into.
I was forced with the resources available to demonstrate that Yamatai was not going to be a pushover and was able to use a mass precision teleport to take the documents and return them. I don't know if we got everything, but we disassembled several tracking warheads of type 41 minimissles and used the payload to cover the inside of their cargo bays with tiny Quantum and Radio tracking devices set to be inactive until they receive a signal from SAINT using the return of the boxes as cover.
After that, I was able to sit down and discuss with King Draguun several important matters of state. I proposed exchange of envoys, a nonagression treaty, and a trade treaty. They will be sending one of their people, Azazel, to act as their envoy to Yamatai. I have dispatched Issus Sanssinia, one of our envoys, to them. We were able to negotiate a non-aggression treaty with them, which I consider to be an accomplishment given how anti-Yamatai they seemed to me. We were not able to come to terms regarding a trade agreement, although we may be able to develop that with time.
There seems to be some sort of strong anti-Yamatai and xeno-phobic feelings among the Dovanian population. We must investigate the source for theese feelings, especialy given our extremely limited formal and informal contact with them to our knowledge. It is also clear that we need to investigate the territory that they have claimed and determine how much space they actually exert control over. While their ships seem to mostly be designs purchased from the New Dusk Collective, I don't feel that they were showing us all of the military assets that they have in play. We will want to acquire that information.
In concusion, the Monarchy of Dovania appear to be a paranoid xenophobic culture who know entirely too much about Yamatai and may pose a threat to our interests in the region. While we have arranged for basic diplomatic protocols, much work remains to be done in softening them to trade and other agreements that will stabilize their role in the region.
Thank you,
