I give notice that Ain Yshar, Holder of the Yshar estates on Ekid VIII, has ordered the strengthening of Ashkerah's defences. The first works are under way, under his authority.

The estate's ancient fortifications are to be adapted to the threats now facing Imperial holdings. These measures fulfil the duty of defence imposed upon Holders by the Imperial reorganisation of YC121 and have been undertaken in light of the military provisions of the Blessed Exchange Edict of YC128.

Under the provisions of that edict, my younger brother, Captain Ithran Yshar of the ground forces of House Sarum, has been selected for reassignment to the Imperial Navy.

A portion of the proceeds of my independent ventures as a capsuleer will be devoted to the works at Ashkerah for as long as the undertaking requires. I remain bound to serve the Empire by the means now available to me.

May God preserve the Throne and those who serve it.

With respect and fidelity,

Semeth Yshar
Designated Heir of House Yshar
Former Commander, House Sarum Naval Forces
