Wish this message ends to good port. I will present myself, my name is Claudia, i work on the commerce and civilian representative department of the Deterrence, always at the service of the Imperio's needs.
I am a woman of not many words, so I will go straight to the matter we should speak of. We are planning an expansion in our lines, and after securing a safe corridor to Dublin and Leeds, we found a possible passage to you'r wonderful system, Provence. As you may understand, we are importers of many commodities, and the Imperio is always hungry for those. But we also export some commodities, mainly artifacts as you sure know, si?.
Our glorioso Executor, señor Francisco Javier explained me the importance of reaching you, regarding the possibility for a meeting in order to speak properly about future business. The question is, how interested would the people of Marseille in expanding that lucrative business.
I will be waiting for your respuesta.
Salut.

Salutu, signora Claudia de Falcó y Lara,
It has been a long time since we have received any communication from the Deterrence, much less than other Corsairs.
Signora, I am no diplomat, I am the Principal of the Unione Corse, Head of the Orsini Familia. I know an ex-Doctor of Medicine is a strange choice for this, but indeed, I am not a diplomat, just a few ranks above. As you have directed the message to me. You are lucky, also. Usually, the process for encrypted messages to arrive to my desk is long and demands lots of manpower, as it needs to be decrypted slowly from the NeuralNet, then... well let's just say it goes via paper and then is sent within our routes.
As you are a woman of few words, I understand and thus will answer just as laconically as needed I assume.
So you wish to come to Provence? Be our guests! Simply, do not bring any capital-class ship with you of course. At least not inside Provence. The system is a touristic jewel for the entire Sector and Gallia, and is a demilitarized system.
Also please note that we take our neutrality very seriously, just not with the Outcasts.
The pathway to Provence is not very difficult, the closest way to pass is via Languedoc but I would be cautious, naturally.
I am glad to hear that you are interested in doing business with us. Indeed. We have much work to do over here in Provence, such as converting many industries that are no longer sustainable. We have already done that in our main installation.
So please. Marseille and I welcomes you. You will find many varieties and interesting commodities to bring back to Planet Crete, si. If you want, even, we can meet in space when you indeed arrive. However, I will soon depart for the UCS Pasquale Paoli for another Life Fire Exercise realized at Toulon Mining Base, though this does not mean we cannot continue to deal indeed. I leave you the choice!
In the Deterrence we have our contacts and our office of intelligence got the direct contact of yours for me to get a direct wire. We have a flotilla of two escorts and a special dessigned liner, the CCS>Andorra that will be moving to the vicinities of Marseille. From there I will take a shuttle to the nearest office of yours. If we do not meet before your departure, do not worry, I heard that Marseille is a beautiful place to enjoy some vacaciones, I am right?
Amigo, we had a lot to talk about industries, as you sure know, the imperio's growth is immense, and its hungry for resources, specific ones that can't be obtained in the massive amounts we do need. I will explain the details en persona in the office. My guards are polite and educated, so they will be docked in the liner.
Expect the Deterrence party to arrive soon, send me the coordinates of orbital mooring so the pilot comandante can prepare the route. I am sure that this will result in a really ludicrous meeting, mon amic.
Hasta pronto.

I have to beg for a perdon, my obligations in Crete made me stay at the planet orbit and the stations nearby for an urgent work. I will present you in the following message with the deal we tough about it.
As you may know, one of our many but also most appreciated commodities are artifacts. Inactive and processed diverse alien artifacts from an ancient civilization. Our scientific teams work on detect, extract and process them into a mostly safe state. As you may understand, Galia with the billions of inhabitants it have, is a giantic market for us. And would like to know, how interested would you be in becoming the prime dealers of those relics. I heard Marseille does have several vacationers, you know, they might like some cocteles, some plages, and an ancient alien artifact as a present.
Also, we are building an experimental vessel, and our factories and shipyards are working non stop. So I wanted to ask you, would Corses be interested in supplying us or let us acquire several resources from you, like basic alloy, and bio-neurals. We might get some resources also.
Said that, I will wait for an answer.
Salut.
