HGL Comm System: OPEN
From: Sir Alisdair Buchanan
To: All Personnel
Subject: New Hire/Promotion & Diplomatic Adjustment

Gentlemen (I look forward to the day when I can say "Ladies" as well!):

It is my pleasure to announce the hiring of Mr. Gunther Koch (BaconSoda) to the position of Director of Trade Operations (DTO). He comes to us from Kruger Minerals in Rheinland, and his experience and knowledge of interstellar geography, house markets, and corporate diplomatic relations make him an invaluable asset to our organization. Mr. Gunther will have direct authority over HGL trade operations, including trader pilots. His callsign is Gateway)Caernarvon, so please welcome him when you see him.

Helping Mr. Koch in this new endeavor is newly promoted Assistant Director of Trade Operations (ADTO), our own Mr. Duncan Idaho (gauliez), Gateway)Londonderry. He, too, will have authority over trader pilots, and will be assisting Mr. Koch in trade research as well as in new pilot setup and training.

If either of these gentlemen are part of an HGL convoy, they are considered to be in command of that convoy.

Congratulations to both of these fine gentlemen on their new appointments!

-----

Also, an important update to our diplomatic relations. The Mollies (Union of Gold - UoG) are now considered NEUTRAL to HGL. Political developments in Bretonia are leading in the direction of legal autonomy for the Mollies in Dublin, and various UoG pilots have recently assisted Bretonian forces in resisting the encroachment of pirates into Bretonian space. They are to be treated with respect and HGL hospitality. Rogue Mollies (//NPCs//) are to be ignored. If political developments warrant, it is hoped that UoG will be transferred to the "Friendly" category.

Buchanan out.


HGL Comm System: CLOSED
