To: BAF High Command, from GST.

[GST CEO John Burton]

Admirals,
Very dear Bretonian Armed Forces,

It's been a long time since I personally took contact for the last time with any form of Bretonian authorities. I therefore have to thank here my Security co-CEO and former Cdr Peter Dempsey for his known and unknown efforts to establish new and loyal relations between the Galactic Secure Trade company and Bretonia.

As some of the members of BIS (and LSF) might remember, GST used to have problematic relations with legal forces both in Liberty and Bretonia. Some of our freighter and transport, well even heavy transport captains used to smuggle cardamine into Liberty space and even (to my greatest disappointment)... slaves into Outcast territories. Thank to my beloved son Lt. John D. (former member of the LSF), these bad... habits now belong to the past.

Thanks to numerous years of business in Sirius black market, GST pilots however developped high skills in the domain of 'blockade running', as some of Bretonian pilots know from their own experience.

The invasion of Leeds by Gallic Royal forces is not only the occasion for the Galactic Secure Trade to show its 'blockade running' expertise, but a maner to take some part in the Resistance to the Gallic Royal Navy.

We are ready to drop Marines on planet Leeds anytime.
We are ready to provide the Resistance on planet Leeds with Black Market Munitions, Elixirs, Energy Field Equipment, Pharmaceuticals, Military Vehicles and so on anytime.
We are ready to escort other freighters and unload transports under ennemy fire.
We are ready to scout and destroy GRN ships in Leeds and all other parts of Bretonia.
But we are not ready to pay the Bretonian Police Authority for this.

I'm pretty sure the BPA counts enough patriots in its ranks to acknowledge the fact that GST's not here for the profit, but for the glory and the success of Resistance forces.

Very friendly yours,

GST CEO and former member of the LSF John "Jack" Burton.

GST CEO John Burton (3076-...) is a retired Liberty high rank politician and business man.
His functions in Liberty administration are still not clear today.
He left Liberty administration some years ago and founded the well known Galactic Secure Trade Company in Kusari space with WDR funds.
The GST Company was based in Zoner systems for the following years, until tensions with Liberty authorities because of GST breaking the Texas blockade became to dangerous for Zoners.
Then the GST Security Council decided the Company should switch to Smuggler ID and cut all official contacts with former Zoner Allies.
