While this may be your first time reaching out to us, it is not the first interaction between the Starfliers and the Guild—but that is beside the point. I am Albert Schulze, one of the Guildmasters of the Independent Miners Guild.

So, you are considering the Taus as a tertiary location to relocate your assets? To be honest, I can’t blame you, given how volatile Tau-23 has been since the Colony Wars. This system was the flashpoint for the war between Kusari and Bretonia, the starting ground of the Gallic invasion, and now remains a contested region bordering both Gallia and Kusari. With the Crown making another attempt to stake its claim—on top of the ever-present Outcasts and the locals from Orkney—instability is simply a fact of life here.

As you may know, the Guild has weathered these storms before and will continue to do so in the future. That said, I have a few questions for you, Mr. McKenzie. What exactly do you intend to study in Tau-23, and who stands to benefit from the Starfliers' research? Our competitors—GMS and BMM—have already encroached in the system, so I would like to understand where your interests align. If the Starfliers do decide to establish yourselves here, the Guild will expect that you will follow our guidelines.


You have mentioned some hoops in the Omegas, in my personal opinion they are a better location then the Taus but then I will need to know more to judge it properly.

I don't quite understand why meeting another Albert feels strange—it’s a common name back in Rheinland. But no worries.

Regarding the anomalies you mentioned: they lie outside our regular patrol zones. If Sol were to request assistance—whether due to unlawful activity or an anomalous disaster—our response time would be delayed. That said, I'd wager the former is less likely, given your group's expertise. The area in question is fairly secluded, save for the occasional researcher passing through.

As I’ve stated in my previous message and will repeat now: the Guild has no issue with the Starfliers setting up operations in Tau-23 if our guidelines are followed. We look forward to seeing you in system if you chose to settle here

Welcome to Tau-23. Sorry for the delay in my response but I am glad that you arrived safely into the system. If you guys require any help with setting up send us a list and we will see what can be done.

Starfliers are more efficient then I thought your people work fast.

It is kind of curious that you are interested in the leftover waste from the refining process because that is from where most of if not all of it originates from Java. The toxic waste gets hauled off to MOX reprocessing plants as it still our main fuel source for ours stations. Still this is the first time someone not from ALG is asking these questions making it sort of unusual and strange.
