Purchase Inquiry
Subject: "Bulwark" Bristol-Kress Heavy Explorer
Greetings,
My name is Matthew Mckinley, Captain of the Order Overwatch. I am sending this purchase inquiry in hopes we could secure a deal with Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing.
As you might be aware, we operate in the deep Omicrons, where danger lies everywhere and shows up unannounced. With recent increase of hostile encounters, more and more of our supply convoys are being intercepted and damaged or destroyed. This is the reason the Order Overwatch logistics department is in need of upgrading its fleet of Borderworlds Transports to something that can take a beating and still carry on about its flight to continue the resupply chain of much needed resources.
We have had a chance to see one of this mighty ships when it was moored at Dabadoru Station and we were pleasantly surprised by its specs sheet.
This is why i am asking for the price of the Bulwark class ship and if you would be willing to manufacture them for us.
Best Regards, Cpt. Matthew Mckinley

Exmo. Sr. Mckinley,
You are correct in saying that the Bulwark-class Heavy Explorer is a good and useful ship in the Omicrons. I cannot say exactly how many reports I have received on these ships destroying this or that, but it is a notable number in a notable number of places. The main gun aft is especially deadly, no? But then you should already know that, member of the Order as you are.
I admit that it was curious seeing your message appear outright, and not-so-curious when your message was designated to me for its process. Akutan Production Facility currently has four of the vessels for sale, at a price of 15.000.000 cr each. That gets you only the hull, though, not armaments or secondary systems. The account name for the wire transfer is Akutan.
Should you have any questions, please, ask. It is good to speak to the Order for once.

Purchase Inqury - Bulwark
Greetings, Vascoguoncellos, Pantalião
I am happy to see your comm message made its way all the way to the Omicrons!
I cannot deny, i personally did engage in a conversation with the unnamed Captain piloting the vessel and i heard nothing but praises. He claims the mere presence of the vessel acts as a deterent.. enough to prevent low-level pirates engaging them. And as such, we never got to see it in a real life combat scenario. But judging by what we've seen, we think this ship would be perfectly fit for our use.
As for armament, we will provide these ourself once the vessels reach our station.
As such, i would like to place an order for two Bulwark class Heavy Explorers, with possibility to purchase more in the future.
The payment proof will be provided encrypted at the end of the message.
Best Regards, Cpt. Matthew Mckinley
