[ENCRYPTED]

TO: SYRIUS COALITION

All Sirian Coalition forces in the Omega 48 system. Rock Station Administration is developing and testing combat systems for the full range of available ships. Unfortunately, we lack data. We know that your military forces are conducting combat operations to ensure security and law and order in this sector. At the end of these operations, there is a huge amount of, shall we say, “military debris” left behind. Our station will purchase this material from the Coalition for 130 credit cards apiece. On our part, we will provide a substantial discount on the production of much-needed weapons for your fleet.

TO: Rock Station Administration
FROM: Wang Qi Shan, Ministry of Plenty, Volgograd
RE: Salvage deal
ENCRYPTION: HIGH

Greetings. Sounds like a solid deal, I will prepare proposals for the Aralsk Research Division. Think they can sort out less-valuable for Coalition pieces among salvage which patrols bring.

But take in consideration, currently what we get is mostly Cretens technologies. If their so-called “Empire” will see matters of our deal, they can react. Doubt that the Military Commission can allocate many forces from the Ben Warner group to help in protection.

Dear Minister Wang Qi Shan, we are anxious to receive your response to our request. We need the military waste for research to improve our existing weapon systems. It is a pity that you will not provide us with all the findings. We could cooperate with your scientists and conduct research together. In return, we are prepared to provide you with data on previously studied materials.
As for the Empire, our base remains neutral towards all factions. No conflicts, just business.
Mr. Minister Wang Qi Shan, I hope we will soon receive the first batch of “scientific” data, so to speak. We are targeting 40,000 units. Once we receive confirmation of delivery, we will send an additional 10 percent bonus to any account you specify.
End of communication.

TOP SECRET
Dear Wang Qi Shan, as we reported earlier, we control a base that falls under the jurisdiction of the Coalition. It was given a new code name Dargo. The base is located near the planet Tangier. On the one hand, the acquisition of this facility has created certain difficulties for us. Our company maintains neutrality in relations with all factions. But on the other hand, this gives us the opportunity to conduct our business with the Coalition directly in your area of ​​influence. One of the areas of our company's activity is the study of technology. And your technology is undoubtedly of interest to us. We want to improve the combat capabilities of weapon systems. For this, additional data is urgently needed. We have previously asked you to provide our base with the "military waste" obtained by you. Unfortunately, we do not receive it in sufficient quantities. We ask you to provide the Dargo station with this data. We give a good price for it. At our main base Rock, we purchase them at an even higher price. Please consider our proposal and give us an answer. Sincerely, Patimat Magomedova, Communications Officer
