Salutations, monsieur Bonaparte. I am Emily Haines, general secretary of the Colonial Cabinet, and your message has been delegated to myself. If you are interested in Colonial equipment, you should check out Colonial Defense Industries, and make your order there.

While we appreciate the offer of Council technology, there are a number of issues with such. Firstly, none of our pilots can read French - reading the instruction manual would be impossible, and we can't have diplomatic incidents arising from confusion over which switch turns on the comms and which switch fires the lazerbeam.

Secondly, we're fairly certain that your own technology consists of Royalist tech that you pulled out of a dumpster and neglected to repaint, save slapping a giant, colorful fleur-de-lis sticker on and hoping it doesn't peel. Lastly, your engines are orange. If you're running those things on cardamine, we might have to reevalute our friendship, since we tend to destroy cardamine shipments we encounter - if those are really your fuel shipments, this could be a problem.

Regardless, I am sure Colonial Defense Industries will be more than happy to oblige your request, provided you can supply the needed materials - which you have assured us is not a difficulty. If you have any further questions, please submit them on this channel.
