Ah, it's about time we got straight to the point and talked about us using our might to crush The Order. We can send some ships to Baffin, however we can only bring Capital ships to Baffin via a Jump from the Omicrons straight to Baffin. If you would like us to bring the heavy artillery, I suggest you arrange a Jumpship to come and take our Capitals into Baffin. We are unable to fly them there directly between systems because doing so may attract unwanted attention.

Here is the document that you must sign. This document is legal confirmation of our contract:

The Temporary Autonomous Zoners fully accept the details enclosed within this contract. The Temporary Autonomous Zoners fully agree to allow free movement of Core| tagged vessels within the Baffin System. The Temporary Autonomous Zoners fully agree to allow Core| tagged vessels the use of all stations within Baffin for trade, restock and repairs. The Temporary Autonomous Zoners agree to give The Core the right to destroy any vessel found with nomadic equipment within Baffin. The Temporary Autonomous Zoners allow The Core to make full use of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners bounty board.

The Core agrees to come to the aid of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners against The Order. The Core agrees to hunt down and eliminate any Order vessels found within Baffin. The Core agrees to eliminate any Order affiliated vessels within Baffin.

If other entities that are hostile to The Core are found within Baffin and they shoot The Core, The Core fully reserves the right to either:
A. Cancel the contract and leave Baffin
B. Add the hostiles to the list of targets that are eligible to be shot at within Baffin by The Core. The TAZ may or may not need to pay for the elimination of these vessels.

The Temporary Autonomous Zoners fully agree to pay The Core a sufficient amount of credits for their work as per defined by the TAZ bounty board.

The Core fully acknowledges and accepts this contract. The Temporary Autonomous Zoners also fully acknowledge and accept this contract.

Signed,

I cannot promise we'll be as effective if we're unable to Jump a small garrison of our fleet to Baffin, however we will try our hardest.

Guildmaster, The Core
