Well, I have made enough funds to retire on Baden Baden. Permanently. So I hereby hand in my resignation for RepEx Shipping. I am purely sick of this flying now, my crew has started to commit suicide due to doing the same trade route over and over.
And I now have enough funds to retire on the lovely Planet of Baden Baden, very nice indeed.
So, I wish RepEx Shipping well in the future.

"Herr Direktor, I have an interesting proposition for you".
*he sits down and starts explaining*
Recently, we have been hauling alot of cargo, despite the bloody war with Liberty. But more and more messages are arriving at our central, asking why we are not really providing means of transportation for general public. And also, why not have a ship for our dignitaries to travel in to important meetings and sessions. Our ships do miss the necessary luxury, that can be only provided by single ship type - the Liners.
Now I have a friend in Orbital Spa and Cruise, very good one, and they seem to have one, somehow obsolete, Enterprise liner for sale. If you would allow me to buy it, bring it to Rheinland and re-fit to fly it under our tag, we could not only have a ship for our top officers and businessmen, but also a vital, profitable vessel capable of filling the gap that is on the market in Rheinland right now.
Of course, your approval is needed before I start anything, Herr Direktor.
*ends his speech and waits for his superior to reply to it*
Republican is always looking for new ways to expand and serve our clientele better. I am glad you came to me with this proposal.
After talking the matter over with the Board of Directors, we have agreed to back and finance this venture. RepEx already maintains a pair of Luxury Liners for our own Corporate Staff, but why should we not extend that courtesy to other corporations?
With the conditions that you refit the Liner at Alster shipyard for Republican ID/IFF papers, and you report directly to myself and the Republican Board of Directors on a monthly basis, we give this project a Go.
Be Profitable.

To the Interstellar Republican Team,
This past half-year has been rough for Republican as a whole. Some departments, like Shipbuilding and Insurance, have seen dramatic increases in sales, but increased piracy has cut into profits of both of those departments. Other departments, like RepEx and Ingolstadt Ore Processing have suffered from a lack of sales and visibility.
Republican as a whole is still a profitable business, generating 5.79 billion credits in revenue per quarter. Rising costs and slipping market share for RepEx have me worried though. To combat those two problems, the in-house escort wing Black Talon is being reformed to combat piracy. Human Resources and Sales teams have been instructed to go on a recruiting drive for new employees and long-term shipping contracts.
The Vice Presidents of Research and Development and Alster Shipbuilding are collaborating on a few new projects to better serve the Rheinland Military. All of the Vice Presidents have been instructed to report to the Board of Directors and myself by the end of year with plans on how to tackle the most challenging problems facing Republican today.
I am also pleased to announce the creation of Republican Limousine, a venture service focusing on providing cost-effective luxury transportation for the upper management of smaller companies. Theodor Neumann is heading up that enterprise.
Finally, the most important announcement. I have been given authority from the Board of Directors to reform Black Talon into a proper fighting force that unlawfuls fear gaining the attention and ire of. They will serve three mandates. Secure shipments and RepEx vessels; Eliminate known pirate threats; harm Liberty shipping. While Black Talon will be organizationally underneath RepEx, they will have their own operational budget, and their own vice president. (If anyone is interested in that position please send a NeuralNetMail to HR.) In addition to the aforementioned priority objectives, Black Talon will also secure some needed resources for the Research and Development Department.
That brings me to RepEx herself, the Foundation of the Republican Corporation. Between resignations and retirements the Shipping Corps has found herself rather thin of employees. Human Resources has been told to rebuild the shipping fleet, and Alster will begin refitting shipping vessels to match the new employees. But to the pilots of RepEx I say this, keep up the good work. Always be looking for convoy opportunities, and good escort pilots that we can recruit. Also, good shipping captains that we can recruit. Please use this channel to report any such potential employees. We are close to closing a deal with the GMG for a shipping contract for HFuel. But always be on the lookout for new short term and long term shipping contracts. You, the Captain, are in a unique position, I am empowering you to quickly take advantage of any deal that may come your way. We are working on updating our contract database, please send any updates you have via this channel.
Be Profitable.

I hope Repex will get out of this. I don't want to lose this job, since all what will be remaining are jobs for daunmann in the Omegas in the worst conditions ever.
Also, my cousin would like to know where he could postulate for our security wing.

Luxusschiffe reporting about first days of operations.
With the comission of the new beatiful Liner for RepEx, we began hauling people all around Sirius, especially from Munich system. In first week of our operations, we have transported four thousand vacationers from Augsburg orbital colony, seven hundred VIPs from Shetland to same place, along with 250 tourists.
In total, our toll is now about 4950 people, and also we happened to be dropped out of lane in New Tokyo system by pirate and rescued several stranded pilots flying in the air in their pods.
