"You may or may not know of us, but we have heard whispers of an organization of scientists who look beyond borders and have been claimed to be some of the brightest minds in the Sirius Sector. The Sirius Coalition has a problem that the Ingenuus Research Group may be interested in.
Planet JiangXi, Omega-52
The world of JiangXi, a world that had been attacked ruthlessly with thousands left dead, a world damaged and in the slow process of recovery. The Sirius Coalition at present travels to and from the planet via the use of specialized atmospheric shuttles that carry both cargo and passengers. However this is not economically viable in the long run according to our economists within the Ministry of Plenty, this is an undesirable thought to many within the Coalition and as such are looking into solutions for this problem.
One obvious solution is either Gallic or Ageira-made Docking Rings which is unfortunately not an option at this time, however the technology behind them isn't entirely unknown as the theories upon Space Elevators has been around since before Humanity left Sol. The Field of Gravitational and Magnetic Research has the possibility of the creation of a Docking Ring analogue, however the Coalition feels it may be of use to hire outside experts on this matter which has led us to you.
The Coalition is willing to fund research into this field for the purpose of the creation of a prototype Docking Ring, however the Ministry of Plenty requires the Coalition ask of the Ingenuus Research Group if they are willing to take up this challenge and to formulate a suitable budget for both the time of the Researchers on the project, supplies in addition to other expenses that may occur."
