Greetings my name is Thomas Wolsey, I am a loyal citizen of Bretonia and today I come to you with a proposal but first a few words from myself.
In this time of war I believe that for Bretonia to triumph we must all play our part in the war effort, some men and women bravely head to the front lines to help fight the enemy at our doorstep. They are our first and last line of defence against the Gallic menace and I believe it is the duty of every citizen to help them however we can, which is why I am contacting the Bretonian Police Authority on this channel.
I have a proposal; I wish to create a new modular space centre within the New London system, its name ‘The Shard’.
The Shard’s function would be two-fold. Firstly it would act a centre of commerce allowing people with a good standing towards the BPA to dock with it and trade goods – this would bring greater commerce to Bretonia thus Improving the local economy. The second function would help our people at the front in a more direct manor; The Shard’s secondary function would be to create special equipment such as: docking modules, cloaking devices, jump drives and hyperspace scanners. All special equipment created would be sold at discount price to all members of the BPA, BAF and BIS.
For The Shard to be able to achieve its primary function it would be required that it be placed within close proximity to a trade lane, preferably next to existing bases to maximise the efficiency at which trade would be possible. As such we have two possible locations locations for the station.
i) Next to Planet Dover – this would be the primary choice.
ii) Next to Planet New London – this would be the secondary choice.
Due to the fact that both of these locations are next to existing structures I understand that we may pose a security threat which is why I am prepared to pass along administrator codes for the station to the Bretonian government (This can be discussed over more secure communications though).
It should also be noted that due to the fact that this station will not be aligned to any particular Bretonian corporation I believe it is best that it fly Police colours to show that any loyal citizen of Bretonia is welcome to do business at The Shard
I would also like to state that twenty five percent of all profits made by The Shard will go directly to the Bretonian Government to help support the war effort against Gallia.
Lastly I have forwarded the processing cost of fifty million credits to the requested bank account as shown below:
I hope that by working with the BPA we can come to an agreement to facilitate the construction of this new and exciting project.
-With kind regards Thomas Wolsey.
