[Archived] The Liberty Surplus Requisitioning Center

MESSAGE TO: Liberty Navy Requisitioning Center
COMM ID: Cryer Pharmaceuticals and Medical Technologies
SENDER: Director Michael Vallon
SUBJECT: Defiant-class Gunboat









To whom it may concern,

I had previously sent a message to the Liberty Navy command, and was made aware of this channel for which to request assets. I am forwarding the message delivered previously to this channel.

On behalf of Cryer Pharmaceuticals and Medical Technologies, it is a pleasure to address the command branch of the Liberty Navy once again. I unfortunately have not had the pleasure of addressing you directly over secured lines, despite my occasional encounters with your pilots and captains in Liberty space and their visits to our headquarters on Denver.

Allow me to introduce myself before I continue though. Michael Vallon, Product Development Director - Biochemistry. Normally I would have sent a comm via our research labs at Atka, but this week we have our quarterly business meetings with senior staff and directors within our division on Denver. Which is part of the reason I am contacting you today.

As you know, our products are in quite the demand nowadays, what with the war with Rheinland at its end, and the advancement of Gallic forces into Magellan. Military and civilian alike use our products daily, and as such we are soon to be increasing our fleets, as well as our traffic within and outside of Liberty. With an increase of production and shipping, also comes certain dangers. Pirates who plague the routes our pilots take, a corrupt police officer looking to enhance his personal wares, you name it. The risk to our cargo, and thusly your product, is something we wish to contain as much as possible.

With that said, the senior staff and I have would like to extend a request for the use of Defiant-class Gunboats, for use as escort ships when our shipping fleet moves through and beyond Liberty space. As such, our division would specifically like to request the use of upwards of three Defiants, should the need arise. In the future, this amount may increase, but we will contact you further should that be the case.

Think of it as an investment sir or ma'am. With added security for our fleet, you can be that much more confident of your deliveries to safely arrive at their destinations, to your families, your soldiers, and to you. We do of course understand that during these times, resources are not always allocated for non-navy use. As such, one Gunboat would suffice, though not ideal. We only hope that our next shipment arrives safely should we not have the adequate protection.

I do thank you for receiving this message, and god speed to the brave men and women in the Liberty Navy.

-Vallon.
