Thank you for you kindness Mal. I'll attach the necessary information about the bank account you can forward the money.

Also, I would have a bigger request. We can patch up the Equinox, but she will never be able to fly into dangerous zones, as the main structure should be completely replaced for that. A few hits and she falls apart. She will be decommissioned and stationed at a planet, where they need to make continuous researches. But before that we need a new ship, which can house the necessary research equipment, and with a decent cargo bay for the small exploration ships. The only suitable vessel would be a carrier class ship, but you know it's not easy to get one as there is no civilian product. And the most neutral ship would be the zoner carrier, the Aquilon. If we make contact with the house governments they might allow us to take it into their space as the ship won't be used for military missions. We need a base for our operations as our work mostly leads us to places far from any trade lanes or civilian stations. Some of our missions might take us to a lot less hospitable places than Baffin and we need a vessel that can both carry our scientific equipment and harbor our smaller research vessels. If that is possible we would also like to register it as a research vessel in order to clearly mark it's purpose.

I hope you can help us Mal

Most graciously, Roy Khan.
