Gallic Corporations involved in Orbital Construction,. Subject: Space Habitats

Herr von Kelsen

Our apologies for the delay in communications, I'm sure you can appreciate the current situation in Gallia has us somewhat tied up.

We've not spoken before, I am Véronique Baudelaire, director of commercial operations at EFL S.P.A, I've finally had a spare five minutes to give an update on your request.

Your offer of 3.5 billion credits is rather low, the lowest estimate i've been given was 4.5 billion, my people insist it can't be any lower than that.

Of course, all of this hinges on the Zurich corridor being open and secure, otherwise hazard pay would further raise the costs. The alternative route through Kusari is impossible at present and i'll be blunt with you, the Imperial Government would need to ensure the corridor is secured or our transports would need to be provided with sufficient escort to make it through hostile space. The other option is to put the project on hold until such a time where we arent plagued by either pirates or a hostile military force every time we leave Gallia.

I appreciate this may not have been the answer you were looking for, but I hope your government is able to provide us some assurances about the Zurich corridor so that the project may continue.

Directeur commercial et maritime,
