Laz Public Network [RSA Special Purchase Request] To [Lorath Matriarchy]

Now that we've... acquired our financial footing once again we, the company known as Red Star Armaments, find ourselves without a base of operations. Or rather lacking one with the capacity our operations require. Our previous incarnation has done business with your government before on a rather limited order, what we're prepared to offer right now is not only payment for one of your "Wh'ki" shipyards, but also what could be considered effectively 'first dibs' on any technology we develop through this overhead infrastructure.

Sincerely, Colonel Markus Finley

We would like to congratulate the organization formerly known as Paragon in your re-branding. We sincerely hope that there are no hard feelings in our acquisition of a number of your former personnel and equipment assets. However, in the spirit of continued good-will, and, our intent to hire your newly re-branded organization for an upcoming venture, we have reviewed your request.

Upon review by our government, we have found it reasonable to Authorize the assignment of one surplus Wh'ki from this month's automatic construction cycle to your organization, Colonel. We would like to make it clear, that while we have assigned this Wh'ki shipyard to your organization, the usage of the shipyard will be firmly regulated by Lorath Self Defense Force personnel, and civilian contractors, assigned to the operation of the station. Our personnel will serve as observers and advisers. Our personnel will also work alongside any RSA personnel assigned to the Wh'ki for standard operation purposes. Any expansions to the Wh'ki shipyard, will result in additional Matriarchy personnel being made present, if not by transfer, then by cloning on-site.

We await payment, and will hyperfold the requested shipyard to a location in which your organization will designate.

We thank you for this transaction, and will keep in touch.

We accept your conditions and the funds have been transferred to your designated accounts, we have also designated a meeting point in the same transmission. We look forward to operating with your personnel.

Sincerely, Colonel Markus Finley
