Setting
The Imperial Palace of the Aschen Empire is the home to the current Emperor, Isambard Prince. From here, he administers the Aschen Empire, and his Party, known as IMPSOC with an iron fist.
"I haven't been following the situation with Gaia too closely." Prince commented, reaching out to take yet another sip of his ambrosia. "I saw your speech, though. I'm genuinely surprised that Tennoheika would put his entire party at risk like that. With respect, the arrogance of his move was astounding."
Aeka merely looked to the wooden table in front of her, frowning. "From what I heard, they attacked without warning, but I could only see what the Soja observed. My Brother gave the order to leave no survivors."
Prince nodded, and then leaned back. "Are you certain everyone is dead?"
Aeka shook her head in response. "My Sister, Yukiko, and the science director are still alive, as of my last report from the Soja."
Grimacing, Prince shook his head. "I'd offer to help, as putting down savages is a noble pasttime for the Imperial Navy; but the nature of the planet Gaia, makes our forces useless. We're too reliant on our technology, we would have to restructure our entire fighting force, if we sent any."
Stroking his chin, Prince smiled. "What I can offer is a small fighting force, say, a dozen or so warships. While radio communications are useless, if we coordinate with your fleet by carefully watching troop movements, and engagements on the surface. We can soften their targets with orbital bombardment."
Prince took another sip of his ambrosia. "Princess Aeka, I'll send a Reverence to provide assistance. But I cannot send anything further without having the Quorum review. Have your General Headquarters transmit their battle plans to EVE, We'll get them softened up before your fleet arrives."
I. Please deliver immediately the following message from the CT-10 to Emperor Prince. If he is not available, deliver to the highest official available.

In particular, I want to affirm our confirmed response to your executive decision to declare war upon the Kingdom of Asylia and assure you that we will do so likewise, effective by the week's end.All Toward One.
