Good day.

My name is Sasha Hofo, and I am the administrator of the Ice Shard station. We are engaged in the purchase, sale, and processing of exotic materials.

We have recently begun mining Osmium from a newly discovered cluster of systems in Omega. While the extraction process itself is not overly complex, transporting the ore to the safety of Omega-49 has proven to be quite challenging. Our frigate, which was responsible for transportation, was lost after taking on a shipment of this valuable ore. We later found only its wreckage on the outskirts of the Omega-43 system.

Rumors have reached us that Bristol may be able to produce the most well-protected transport ship currently available in the Sirius sector. We are very interested in the price and construction time for this vessel.

Once we acquire this ship and establish sufficiently safe routes from the new cluster of systems, we will be able to arrange for a steady supply of pure Osmium and its refined variant.

Good evening Ms Hofo,

My name is August Molitor, Director of the Financial Department here at Akutan Production Facility, and I will be handling this communication.

Firstly, my apologies for our delay in responding. It took some degree of effort in confirming your installation - Bristol does not make it a habit to station representatives in the Omegas, and our nominal relay station on Gran Canaria was down for maintenance. In the interim, we have made some inquiries on you, and find it to be altogether satisfactory.

You are correct in saying that the Bulwark is among the most well-protected transport currently available on the Sirius market. The vessel is equipped with high power weapons slots, suitable for the fitting of battlecruiser-grade weaponry, with a powercore able to power such for enough time to remove most targets. Be advised that…

1. Smaller targets than gunboats may pose difficulties to the Bulwark-class targeting computer,
1. especially in high-interference environments such as the Omegas and beyond.
2. The equipment warranty for the Bulwark-class does not yet cover ‘unique situations’ which may be
2. found in the Deep Omega systems. Increased inspections may be requested to determine design
2. alterations in future vessels.
3. The increased mass of the Bulwark-class may pose additional navigational hazards in high-gravity
3. environments.

Currently we have one Bulwark-class Heavy Explorer ready for sale. Should this be acceptable, please transfer 15.000.000 cr to account Akutan. Once we receive confirmation of the payment, ship ownership codes will be made ready and sent to you by secure line.

We look forward to hearing back from you.

V/R
MOLITOR, AUGUST
DIRECTOR, AKUTAN FINANCIAL DEPT

Greetings Mr. Molitor.

Thank you for your response. We have reviewed the operational guidelines and trust that the vessel will perform admirably, even under such extreme conditions.
The requested 15,000,000 credits have just been transferred.
We will immediately begin assembling a crew and dispatching them to the Akutan Production Facility to assume command of the ship.

Payment
