Dear Mr Valmir

Passenger transports and pleasure cruises have been an on/off thing for quite some time at Omicron Supply Industries, yet have always failed to be a consistent part of our services. It appears as if there is very little demand in terms of pleasure cruises in the edge worlds and the most profitable routes and destinations are held and bitterly defended by OS&C and other corporations.

Secondly, safety is a very big issue, which we have, so far, never been able to guarantee at competitive prices. While the standard ejection mechanism works very well for smaller crafts, they have proven to be somewhat inept even for highly disciplined work spaces such as battleships. Consequently, having to abandon a Liner of whatever size, will most likely lead to massive loss of life, leading to the need of ensuring the liners safety way beyond the usual procedures.

Lower estimates for a security contingency for a Liner consist of 2 Fighters and 2 Bombers, as well as a scout-shop for forward reconnaissance. I'll have my secretary put together a dossier for you containing the difficulties previous entrepreneurs have faced in this particular market.

That aside, as long as you are operating within the policy and politics of Omicron Supply Industries, you should be free to operate a liner, under your own risk. However, increased foothold in such a market carries substantial risks, mainly in the public relation sector, as houses and their lobby-organizations tend to subsidize luxury tourism by gifting such rides to politicians (de facto bribes) and might not look to kindly towards new competitors on a saturated and quite solidified market.

I'll discuss this with Director Doria, while you write your proposal to the Board of Directors.

Best regards
Jason Kelly
CEO of Omicron Supply Industries
