Gems, Supplies, Allies and Shady Deals

[Pavel]

- One year, assuming that our Corsair operation will remain small support wing and maximally few dozens of industrial specialists, military advisors and such on Crete planetside. Those were the requirements sent to my desk, to try out cooperation first, at all. If it proves succesful, we can always expand our activities down there, but naturally this would require bigger investment.

Answering the clue of your question here, Corsair Elders will order their clans and raiders not to target us, or at least treat with great dose of leniency. I can assume that same could be applied to more of Rheinland groups, given we lobby for that among the Elders, and provide something in return.


With twinkle in his only eye he continued:

- Whenever independent miners are caught more or less closely working with Red Hessians, they always use neutrality card - "we aren't side in that conflict". If leniency in piracy treatment towards our vessels ever comes to light, we will use their own tactics - we don't fight Corsairs per se, although as honest journalists see, also are pirated by them. From Cretan side explanation will be similar - Rheinlanders are evil and should be pirated, but not all of them with average harshness, as they happen to shoot our enemies.
