Mr. Yamato Date

Our relations with the Kusari Exiles are still in dispute. While reports from the military have told tales of postive and even cooperative military action, our policy is only to provide military vessels to political identities we consider trusted allies. While the Gallic threat is one that is dire, prompting even enemies to become friends against the onslaught - this war wont last forever - and the friends of today could become the enemies of tomorrow.

Therefore, it is important that I take this request to higher authorities. Once the matter has been deliberated on, you will be provided a reply within three days.

Let me apologize for the delay in reply. We will endeavor to render an answer to your request in a timely fashion, without fail.

Thank you.

Miss Jarael

The conflict within the Tau Systems has become heated, yes. The Colonial Republic's tau military forces, in cooperation with allies in the area, have been doing our best to hold back a renewed Outcast threat.

Your request of a Kronos Battleship is currently being discussed. The matter of course being, such a large and resource heavy military line ship for a private party, even one affiliated with the IMG, requires deliberation.

There is also the matter of the Gallic occupation force in the Taus, of which the Independent Mining Guild has pledged its affiliation. Rendering over to the IMG such a vessel could represent a security risk - not only to ourselves, but to you as well - as the Gauls will no doubt question you as to your acquisition of the vessel, and your life could very well be in danger.

We can provide you with a smaller (and more numerous within our yards) vessel, which can still give you a hand against the maltese threat, and greater plausibility in whatever fiction you create to explain the Gauls of your acquisition. May we perhaps suggest a Hydra Strike Corvette?

Either way, we will deliberate on your request, as it must be taken to higher authorities. Once we have an answer for your request, especially if you still wish construction and purchase of a Kronos Medium Battleship, we will contact you with our decision.

Let me apologize for the delay in reply. We will endeavor to render an answer to your request in a timely fashion, without fail.

Thank you.
