Over the past years Freeport One has undergone several refit and expansion projects. While such projects are always ongoing, we have completed a wing surrounding our central court. The purpose of this wing is to house consular and embassy offices and staff for your government. The One wishes to be a center for diplomacy and trade, and we invite each government to establish a presence on the station for diplomacy with each other as well as a central location for discussion of trade agreements.

In the ancient times of our home system of Sol, there existed such a location, where various governments be they friend or foe, could speak amongst each other for matters of global consequence, as well as matters individual. It is not our intent to urge pan-system peace, though such would be great, it is simply our understanding that communication is a key component of trade, peace, or war. Having your government with a consular staff aboard the One is the furtherance of communication.

Freeport One has been updated with the latest in security technologies and a triple layer of shielding to protect it. In addition, the consular suites have been fitted with the latest technologies to prevent eavesdropping by rivals. Our invitation also includes staffers and engineers to view the spaces and note any changes that would be necessary for your preferences.

As many are aware, the One has kept a 5k protection zone around the station. While this is a no fire zone, we wish to create within it a free trade zone; a location where trade, even among unlikely parties, is possible without fear of attack or reprisal. Recently outside the station I observed a Corsair transport trading goods with an Interspace Commerce vessel. This is what a Freeport should be, a location where trade can be performed without fear by either party.

We do this, not under a flag of conquest, but under a flag of freedom. We do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard. We do this to establish a legacy for our children, and our children’s children into the great beyond. Communication is the key to trade, trade is the key to our economies, and there are times even when warring parties have need to talk with each other under flag of truce.

We ask that each government give full clearance and passage for diplomatic vessels en route to and from Freeport One. To assist in this endeavor, each government is requested to clearly mark their vessel as an Envoy ship.

Kallisti...

A polyfather will certainly attend to that little gathering of yours...
Who will that be... We shall see.
The polyfather will contact you directly when the decision will be taken.
