From: James Whipperwill, Master of Arms and acting Admiral of the Union of Gold.
To: the Liberty Government and Tresury.
Subject: Trade Agreements.

Good day Sirs and Ma'ams,
I believe that you, like everyone else, are well aware that here, in Dublin, we have an abundant supply of Gold ore. We know that Gold has some value to you, it is used in luxury civilian products, and in technology. We also are aware theat you know we are atempting to build Dublin into a working nation and element of the Sirius Sector. Now I propose an agreement, between our two nations.

We will supply you with weekly shipments of gold ore, defended by our finest soldiers to ensure proper arival. We will also give you mining rights to mine your own ore from our fields. And in return we ask for shipments of Trade Lane Parts and Ship parts to assist in the building of Dublin. The exact ammounts of the shipments will be pending the worth of the gold to you.

I hope that this agreement will halp both our economys and ensure a peaceful relation ship between our nations.

Thank you

Topic: Are you free for tea this afternoon?

A recent communication arrived today from the Union of Gold to the Liberty government. It may be advisable to begin the activation of assets in Dublin to verify deposits of gold in areas the Union of Gold suggests allocating as mining rights. Union of Gold ships should be under Red-3 observation while in Liberty until such time as their movements, activities, and intentions are verified. We should begin regular communications with Her Majesties Directorate of Military Intelligence Section Five. If I recall correctly the Director General MI5 is a great fan of the Yunnan tea grown on Planet Junyo, Ill get on expediting a shipment to their office asap.

For Liberty,

I am sorry sir but from the way you are mentioning Her Majesty's MI5 it would seem that you believe we are still under Bretonian authority. I guess you do not read the colony news as there was a treaty signed and Dublin Is now its own nation, run by the Mollys and chiefly the UOG. This is why we are trying to trade for such things as trade lane parts. To help build our growing economy.

As to where a resonable deposit of gold can be found in Dublin; If you dont mind dodging mines the Field around our very own Arranmore base has a very large deposit of gold ore. Only I sudjest you make prior arrangments and reputation fixes before entering our space, as the guards are instructed to shoot first and ask questions later.

As to our shipments, you can expect the first one within the week.

By the way, I prefer a stout beer to that old tea. Might I suggest the Pilot's Haven Bar on Freeport 4? A good meeting place within easy reach of both of us.

Greetings,

We at the Liberty Navy would like to express a willingness to being trade relations with you. We are in need of some of your famous Dublin gold for use in ship wiring and ornamental plating. We can, in return, send some hull panels and engine components by way of the LNT craft we have.

Marshall out.
