Solaris / [CLASSIFIED] Sanctioned Reciprocity of Honour and Silence
« Last post by Darius on June 30, 2025, 09:27:03 am »CLASSIFIED COMMUNIQUÉ — YAMATAN SHOGUNATE
Encoding: Neural-Silk Cipher (Grade 7)
To: Archon Primarus Sarshar, Combine Apex Council
From: Office of the Ochre Mandate
Via: High Kensei's Evenfall Assembly (Seal: 003-Kokuyō)
Subject: Sanctioned Reciprocity of Honour and Silence
Directive Code: Ink-Eagle / Orchid Path
Archon Sarshar,
The High Kensei acknowledges and reflects upon the Combine’s formal request for expanded shroudborne coordination in the Sulsian proximity. Heavy is the weight of your appeal, and the Office has considered this such as we would the eye of an astral storm.
It is the judgement of the Shogunate that:
• The Republique’s anarchistic zeal threatens sacred boundaries of order;
• The Commonwealth’s commercial hunger lays roads without shrines.
• And yet, the path of visible entanglement leads to turmoil, not redress.
After solemn invocation of precedent and the resonance of past obligations, the Yamatan Union, under Orchid Path conditions, will instead undertake vigilant silence.
It has been mandated thus:
1. Task Group Shigure will be deployed to neutral corridors near Sulsian space, under the pretext of pilgrimage observance;
2. Union sensors will passively relay spatial harmonics to Combine observers under encrypted mutual silence.
3. Shogunate forces will interdict Commonwealth or Jacobine-aligned shipping operating outside registry in Sulsian proximity;
4. The Union will maintain silence unless spoken to, and undertake action only when deemed necessary. The Union shall raise no banners —but presence will remain, should the balance tilt.
Understand:
This is not alliance, nor admission, nor endorsement,
nor refusal of sympathy.
This is discipline—of action, of tone, of the blade remaining sheathed.
May order endure,
—Office of the Ochre Mandate
