This is Albert Schulze, one of the Guildmasters of the Independent Miners Guild. I have to say it is a welcomed surprise to hear from you Tyatsmr. Last info I had about the Omicron Junkers was that loss of Tarancon.
A tonne of rumours about, but to get back to the point I am interested in what you have to offer.
With regards
Albert Schulze, Guildmaster

"Ah, yes, the loss of Tarancon. The Order, after calling us out to clean their graveyard and return their bodies and dogtags to them, along with Core and Order materials from their ships, decided to retreat the Battleship Thebes and abandon us to the alien onslaught. Truly a wonderful way to keep allies in the colonies, yes?
I am already working on a project to alleviate the wound that is the loss of Tarancon, however, it is a conversation for another day.
What I have for you is an opportunity to make a steady, passive income with minimal input past the first investment.
My project is to take advantage of the unstable system of Omega-55, and the route it provides between Rheinland and Liberty. To be specific, the market among Liberty's elite for Hessian Tears, and diamonds of any kind, really, is a well known market. However, it pales in comparison to the... higher risk routes that supply the Order. Using these unstable travel routes as a method to sweeten the pot for transport captains may well be the change needed to make the path more popular.
The primary idea is to increment a step-by-step profit increase when comparing the gain from the bypass route to the fastest possible transport route, and reap the rewards ourselves while sweetening the pot for the transport captains. The short travel distance also makes the route much safer for transport captains, of course at the cost of a higher investment price. The purpose for the ownership and positioning of the bases is to minimize hostile threats. The Xenos control a wide swathe of Magellan and Liberty at large, and would cause us issues in Vespucci. In the same vein, Daumann and Kruger seem to not be all too fond of IMG, and would most likely cause you problems in Omega 7. IMG's hand in the diamond trade is well known, as is the Junker's hand in reselling and repackaging. This bypass would make good use of our respective strengths.
As you can see here, we have gone through the work of calculating and graphing the specifics of the Hessian Tear's trade as it pertains to Allentown Base, run by some of the Junker's most skilled repackagers for distribution to Liberty at large.
The two options for pricing that we have come up with come from our experience with the... let's say, average intelligence of transport captains. Wiser captains would certainly settle for the more aggressive pricing option, as they calculate the safety of the route, the amount of time spent, and other such important concerns. However, I have met many Kemwer Munitions transporters in my time in the Omicrons, and I can assure you that the vast majority of transporters can only see Credits per Second per Unit. Thus, the more lenient pricing option is pitched as well, lessening our total gain from the operation, but increasing the traffic to the bases. The buying price of these diamonds would be our method to transfer our profits to our respective employees, and our organizations.
Of course, while I did plenty of calculation, thinking, and input before approaching you with this proposition, I am not all-knowing, and certainly there must be concerns of yours that I have missed. I invite you to voice them, so that we could find compromises."
I'll do something about my superiority complex when I cease to be superior.
