Greetings, esteemed leaders of the Corsair Nation,

You may be wondering who this is. My name is Jonathan Hamilton Cook, and I stand here today as a representative of the organization known as The Outer Project, a group of traders and entrepeneurs specializing in the delivery of goods to regions of Sirius normally ignored by more mainstream shipping companies.

I'll spell it out for you gentlemen. Word of the increasing hostilities between your nation and the Zoners has hit MANY ears beyond the Omicrons (a couple of our own smugglers apparently confused some of your more trigger-happy Capital Ship Captains, who somehow thought they were Zoners. I'll ignore that for the sake of profit...). Considering your... geographically isolated position, we at the Project would be more than willing to open up a trade route into the heartland of Sirius, for any kind of materials required for your war efforts, at a 10% reduced cost in comparison to any other shipping company out there (plus free cookies).

I can understand this may seem like a suspiciously convenient option, given your current position, but rest assured that we have nothing more in mind than to develop at least cordial relations. I'll await further communications.

Until then,

Jonathan Cook
