To the Mandalorian Mercenaries

[bluntpencil2001]

Sirs,

It appears that the BMM base in Tau 23 is in danger of assault soon, from representatives of the Colonial Remnant.

I am addressing this missive to yourselves to enquire about rates for establishing a Mandalorian garrison on the base. I am willing to pay per ship stationed on the base, since moving BAF vessels from Leeds may prove difficult, or poor strategy.

Duties will include defending the base, fortifying the current defences and protecting miners and convoys from attack. The garrison fee will cover ships that base out of the station, with further pay for engagements.

Please respond on this channel to discuss in further detail.

Sir

The Mandalorians are capable of garrisoning 3 vessels there in the short term, (ie this day) more in the long term.

I suggest a mixed gunboat, bomber, and fighter presence.

Mob/Demob fees are extra for gunboats.

All rates, of course, negotiable.

I suggest an aggressive defense. Meaning, should Colonials come near the BMM base, we, well, shoot them down.

Rates : Mob/Demob

15 mill for a GB, 10 mill per fighter or bomber, to garrison.

5 Mill a kill for aggressive defense.

Mandalore William Bishop

PS : If the Privateers have difficulty with the fees, perhaps BMM could contribute?

I'm led to believe that our fees seem too high?

I'll listen to your counteroffers.

I suggest 1 mill a kill from BMM to supplement the global bounty of 2 mill a kill from the Council of Dons.

Complimentary pen?

Fees do look high, but I've recently come into a little bit of money.

There is currently a BMM bounty up, although it is admittedly rather low, since it is designed as a defensive measure.

However, the garrison fees seem reasonable, and I'm willing to pay 45 million credits for a mixed-force garrison immediately, which may take any form that you would recommend, for which such a fee could afford.

Excellant sir.

Please remit the 45 Million mob/demob fee to MM~Armoury

That's with a "U". We use the Queen's English.

As you know, we invoice month;y, terms net 30 days, 12% on late accounts, yada, yada..

You'll be pleased to know we have already based a Roc, Eagle, Sabre, and Gunboat there. More may have arrived since I was last advised.

Regards,

William Bishop
