Chartres Space Colony, Gallia |
The Imperial arrayed on the screen is grinning to himself. He clearly has a passion-project in mind.
"Ahem, à nos célèbres voisins, Salutations à vous. I hope you will find some humour in my laughable Gallic, Sirs."
"It is a pleasure to make contact with the men and women who have built Gallia into its vast internal prosperity. Whilst I, alike all Sirians, am gladdened that the age of revenge is over, Gallia still has lessons to teach our disparate peoples.
My Christian name is Linus, of the VonClaussen family. My office in the Rheinland parliament is that of the chair of the People’s development board – the Interplanetarischer Ratssprecher für die Bevölkerung. I hold a number of state functions, angled towards tailoring Rheinland’s domestic policies and projects to better align with the population’s wills. Despite what some may say of our state, I am an elected official. I won my office through the merit of my campaign team, and, if it is not preumptous to voice such a thing, the trust of my constituents.
Now that it is out of the way, I wish to talk business, not politics. One of the ramifications of a restored society is that we must consistently explain who we are to others, unless people get the wrong impression. I am sure a datapacket will soon be prepared for foreign consumption. Until then, I hope you will humour me to speak of business, and investment, and not politics.
During the years that Rheinish merchants have traded with Gallia, we have learnt that is filled with space colonies. Ingenious structures of architectural ambition, matched in our modern era by Augsburg colony of Munich, now desolated by disaster. The old Rheinland empire had a long history of creating prosperity for the Rheinish people through celestial development - building the ring from nothing. In Sirius, space colonies have a reputation as the domain of pirates, or Zoners out in the edgeworld. They have an, undeserved, stigma. But they are, in effect, the future.
Planet Hamburg has a population equivalent to Earth at the dawn of the twenty first century, by pre-Sirian reckoning. I love my homeworld, and we Hamburgers are well adapted to her, but it is a glacial-alpine planet, with limited room for inexpensive agricultural options. Berlin is even harsher, and has over thrice the populace. Stuttgart, our one temperate world, is grappling with catastrophic climate change, brought upon by over-permissive policies from the Federalist administration, who managed to turn Rheinland into the Botticellian masterpieces of ‘Libertonian Capitalism’ in their dying decades. Rheinland has a vast population, many of who live in megacities and arcologies. They are energy efficient and spacious. However, even with carefully curated development, we run the risk of turning Rheinland’s planets into a mirror of the pre-bombardment Leeds, for wont of a more sensitive comparison.
Rheinland needs space colonies, Sirs. With the loss of Nuremburg, land values have shot up. We do not want to price an entire generation out of the Housing market, alike what happened in Liberty, three hundred years ago.
Chartes and Saint-Quentin Space Colonies are excellent examples as to how the Confederate model of space habitation can ease the pressure of Rheinland’s planets.
With your permission, I would like to enter discussions with your corporations, to design a new generation of space-based habitats in Rheinland. With the need to resettle those who have lost homes in the Hessian incursion, a generation of Rheinland poor left in the wake ill-advised Federalist policies, and over one billion Rheinish refugees living in temporary housing in the wake of the Federal humanitarian catastrophe of the Nuremburg disaster, I consider the construction of Rheinish space colonies to be of vial humanitarian and economic importance. This is but a preliminary discussion, but my office would delight in a Gallic input on this matter.
I believe those of us fortunate enough to enjoy privilege have all the more pressing obligation to themselves, to God, and to Society, to use the trappings of power into which they have been thrust to better the lot of the poor and disadvantaged.
Perhaps this is a presumptuous observation. I believe the Confederacy – in its virtuous compromise between those who stand for egalitarian principles, and those who would restrain certain articles of power within the Confederal Ducal lords to prevent exploitative mercantilism – would be an excellent textbook for Rheinland’s statesmen. I look forward to witnessing your progress.
If this matter is of interest to Gallia’s industries, please, let me know. Any technical specifications that may aid my office draft a contract offer would also be of extreme use. Thank you for your time, and your ministrations. As for now, I enter into this proposal only in my own name. However, if you can create a compelling suggestion, I would be able to place our shared proposal to vote with the Imperial court, and we will rebuild Rheinland together."
"A nation that cannot house, clothe, and provision its citizens, is no nation at all. The Federalists profiteered from robbing the common man blind. I intend to build their victims homes."

Bonjour, Monsieur.
It is true that our space colonies are a marvel of modern engineering, elegant structures that are more than capable of providing what you need. This is definitely an avenue we are interested in pursuing, however, the present situation along the main route into Rheinland would make such an undertaking cost an exorbitant amount of money and I doubt it is something we would be able to complete in any timely manner.
We are happy to discuss plans for the future, though they would only remain plans for the duration of the internal strife within Rheinland and as long as the Zurich / Cologne corridor remains occupied by pirates.
I might add that in future you keep business comms solely on the subject of business - I am a busy woman and whilst I appreciate a history lesson, it is hardly the time for it.

Linus giggled like a schoolchild. He had a certain affection for belligerent old nags. They tended to get the job done.
"Das war zu einfach! Du hattest mich für eine Flasche... Christ."
"Madame Baudelaire, Sie müssen einige Hoden unter Ihrem Kleid haben. I admire your directness. It is always a thrill to hear from an executive with the social decorum of an engineer. Perfect. I'm warming to you already. If only some of my own advisers had your candour..."

Herr VonClaussen,
I have heard of the strife currently enveloping Rheinland, hard not to after the newly opened jump gate's automated defenses started showing mass hostiles in its vicinity. I will however humor your request to keep this talk Apolitical.
While I never had the privileged of seeing Augsburg Orbital Colony in its prime I have had the chance to read on it's ill-fate. A regrettable turn of events undoubtedly I am pleased however to see that the tragedy that it was didn't sour the public opinion of Space Colonies to a significant degree. As you are already aware Gallia is home to several space based living facilities. Each unique, from fully enclosed communities to luxury housing for the upper echelons of our society. Some may expect a Space Colony to be simply a home for people who work off the Colony, Gallia has taken another take on this (with few exceptions) most Colonies in Gallia are fully self sufficient often containing their own governing bodies and communities not unlike a Planet. Those who live on the stations also work on them in one capacity or another, thus making the station far less expensive to operate. I am unaware currently of the Empires financial situation but you should know a Space Colony is no small investment, while not at par with the cost of a Jump Gate by any measure it is still no small financial venture.
With your examples of Chartes and Saint-Quentin Space Colonies it does give us a reasonable idea of what you could want design wise. Now, unfortunately due to the current occupation of Cologne work on this would be delayed as I cannot in good conscious send my men into a system infested with Pirates. That being said in the past we used the long route through Kusari which, while certainly upping the costs and over all duration of the project, would allow it to start sooner.
I agree with your suggestion of utilizing Rheinlandic Corporations in the construction process, as I have stated in the past, I fear too much Gallic influence could impress upon the Rheinland People the same feeling they feel when they look at Planet Stuttgart, or the Trade Lanes and Jump Gates in your house, that being exceptional loathing. Which brings me to design, I believe a good option may be one modeled after Augsburg itself, something familiar to Rheinland yet, improved with a touch of Gallic engineering. Not only do I believe this is smart, it's modular design would allow for ease of customization and expansion, what better way to show the might of the new Government than by succeeding where the previous administration failed? On top of that, instead of selling it to only the richest of the rich, marketing it to the common man is sure to drum up the support from the populace you likely will need to get The Royal Court on board.
In terms of resources, if we go with the plan of Augsburg Orbital Colony, then I suspect looking through the archives of the previous administration will likely give you a good estimate on that information.
Lastly, if I may, I have noticed looking at the star charts that there seems to be an inactive Jump Gate which records show used to go to Bering? Seeing as that isn't likely to come back anytime soon based on the Bering state of affairs perhaps it may be possible to utilize that space? What to do with an entire Jump Gate might be a problem, but that bridge can be crossed in the future.

Herr VonClaussen,
I would prefer we didn't discuss the particulars of what exists under my dress over such a channel, let us at least try and keep things professional, hm?
Now, I appreciate the orbital data you've sent over, i'll hand it over to our planning department and see what they come up with, i'm sure they'll be able to come up with a rough first draft for potential locations for the colony. We usually send our own survey teams to gain such data, but current circumstances may mean it'll have to remain a rough plan for the timebeing.
I'll see if we can get a completed draft to you within a reasonable amount of time. In the meantime, we'll liase with our colleagues in IDF about the viability of moving such an enormous amount of material into Rheinland as we would most definitely require their support in this project if it were to go ahead.

Monsieur von Claussen
It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Sophie Pomeroy, Directeur Général of Ile de France Shipping. It's appreciated that you want to discuss business rather than politics as I wish to stay out of your House's politics.
The destruction of The Augburg Colony is quite unfortunate as well as the loss of Nuremberg, I can only imagine what those poor people are going through. You have my deepest sympathies for you and your people.
These are hard times Monsieur, but we must keep going forward. Space colonies such as Chartes and Saint-Quentin are a pinnacle of Gallic ingenuity, something we are very proud of. My colleagues from EFL S.P.A. are quite capable and without the doubt the best engineers there are. Being capable of engineering as they are, they lack shipping expertise, that's where IDF comes in. We're, Monsieur von Claussen, the fastest and largest shipping entity in Gallia, that said, my company and I are interested in Rheinland's market. This venture will not only help your people, it will also help us get more involved in Rheinland.
Once Madame Baudelaire's team is done with the design of the Space Colony, IDF will be ready to assist with the necessary shimpent. You will, Monsieur von Claussen, place an order on materials that Madame Baudelaire deems necessary and IDF transports will deliver such materials as soon as possible.
There is, however, one, not that small of an issue. Namely the shipments coming from Gallia will have to take a longer route via Kusari. As Madame Baudelaire mentioned in her message, the Zurich - Cologne corridor is something we'd like to avoid, at least for now due to increased level of Hessian presence in the system. You must understand Monsieur, I wouldn't want my transports and their cargo go missing.
To disclose this, IDF is ready to assist you and your people. Once the design is complete and order for materials placed, my company will ship the materials to you and we shall rebuild what was lost. The people of Rheinland will get their new homes, you have my word.

Space Colony Model![[Image: 2018111810505021Compiegne_Space_Colony.png]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/350793047077814272/709062233551929384/2018111810505021Compiegne_Space_Colony.png)
Meet our Commentry Class Space Colony! Mr. VonClaussen.
It's the newest colony station in Gallia, fitted to the latest high tech specification. The accommodations are secure, with an office complex to set up a range of businesses! With large shopping malls and several restaurants, it is a perfect station for any civilisation. It is also self-sufficient and well defended, so much so that it is said that this station is a real space fortress. And finally, she has a small shipyard, for the repair of smaller civilian vessels.
I assure you, Mr. VonClaussen, that Rheinland will not regret its choice of a Gallic space station. They are robust, big, beautiful and can defend themselves without any problem! A station worthy of your home.
I would like to finish with something else: following the recent civil war in your house, we wanted to know if you are interested in EFL's repairing service, or even replacing the outdated and inferior Ageria trades lines. If you are interested in this project, we would be happy to open a new discussion with you for this project.
With civility and respect, I wish you a good day.

Esteemed ladies and gentleman,
Unlike my colleague I am not a man of many words where few suffice. My name is Albert Kelsen and I have the honor of serving as the Generaldirektor of Daumann Heavy Construction. As Herr von Claussen is busy at the moment I will be taking over the negotiations in his stead. Please firstly accept my apologies and apologies of the whole of Rheinland for the delay in our response. Time is a resource that is quite rare for us at the moment but that is of course no excuse for letting our partners wait needlessly.
After reviewing the previous communication and provided documentation while consulting with the Imperial government I firmly believe we have a plan unfolding at our hands.
To review and further propose:
a) The project (provisionally called Binnenalster Space Colony) will consist of a cooperation between EFL and IDF on the Gallic side and Daumann, Kruger and Imperial Shipping on the Imperial side
b) The core of the project will be based on Compiegne Space Colony with Rheinland-specific modifications
c) IDF will provide transportation of necessary and unique materials and components from Gallia
d) EFL shall prepare blueprints for the colony and provide engineering oversight and guidance during the construction phase
e) Imperial Shipping will transport materials readily accessible in Rheinland as well as the Rheinland-fabricated components.
f) Daumann and Kruger shall provide necessary workforce and fabrication for components readily accessible in Rheinland,
g) The Empire will pay an agreed upon sum to EFL and IDF.
h) After the station is constructed, EFL will provide civilian station maintenance for an agreed upon time, while local engineering staff gets familiarized with the station upkeep process.
Please, inform us if you find such an outline agreeable so that we can move forward to a more detailed phase such as the specifics of the Colony, its precise location, compensation for services rendered, time-schedule and other key elements.
Yours truly,
Albert Kelsen

Bonjour, Monsieur Kelsen.
Hugo Gerand of EFL S.P.A. Pleased to meet you
We fully understand that you have been busy lately and we sympathise. Additionally, we are delighted that the Rheinland Government is interested in our Space Colony project and we are happy to be of service to you.
After discussions with the board of directors and our president Mr. Lacroix, we accept your proposal. Therefore, we are ready to discuss more widely for the construction.
I would like to inform you that according to our analyses, with all things considered, the project costs is estimated at 20 billion. However, given the current precarious situation with the Cologne corridor, the transportation costs are estimated to be even greater. I hope that is perfectly acceptable to you. If the amount is accepted, then we can onto a formal construction contract.
Till then, with civility and respect, I wish you a good day.

Herr Gerand,
I have communicated with the Imperial Government and we are glad that you have accepted our proposal. We would furthermore like to negotiate with regards to the project cost and compensation to your corporations. While we understand there are some technical difficulties when it comes to the loss of the Cologne corridor, our Imperial Ministry of Commerce and Industry has arrived to a lower estimate of 15 billion for the project. However, since Rheinland will be providing the workforce, substantial portion of the raw materials, fabrication and transportation (by our estimates roughly 75 % of the total costs of the project), these costs will be borne by our government and corporations and do not have to trouble you.
What remains to be negotiated is the compensation to your side. We believe 3.5 billion to a fair offer for your know-how, technical expertise and transportation of necessary and unique materials and components from Gallia. How you decide to divide such budget between your own corporations would be left completely up to the Gallic side.
Please, do let me know what you think about such a proposal.
Yours truly,
Albert von Kelsen
