Dear Sir or Madam,

The Guild agrees that Auxesia forces and Guild members have been working together very well since first contacts was established. The Guild appreciates the assistance we have been given by your forces.

Consequently there is nothing that speaks against an even closer cooperation, with a possibility of an alliance in the future. The Guild is willing to negotiate into that direction and I have the Guildmasters' backing to do exactly this.

- Auxesia will station a wing of Saracen BDR-804 Fighter craft, as well as several other personal fighter/bomber craft, within the Taus region for added security within Guild controlled space, and for direct strikes against the Maltese Nacion in cooperation with the Crayterian Republic and Independent Miners Guild Security teams.

Assistance is very welcome in the Taus. Depending on your stance with Gallia, this cooperation needs to be more or less covert. If Gallia is at least neutral, you can use Java in Tau 23, however when not, Java has to be strictly off limits. In that case, Falkland in Tau 37 is the best base of operation. It is also a good position to stage raids against Outcast space as well as intercept missions against slave and cardamine trade.

- Auxesia will provide direct aid in the interdiction of the Cardamine trade, and the disruption of the slave industry and the rescue of those who fell into its grasp.

Help is gladly accepted. If there have to be any changes in Bounty Board contracts, let me know, in order to facilitate this.

- Auxesia's Logistics division under Venator Alan E. Stacker will provide support for any existing Independent Miners Guild projects that are outstanding delivery service assistance, within reason and coherence of the Battlegroup's standing towards other nations/organizations within Sirius.

Depending on stance and diplomatic relations, the Guild will assess which projects can be opened to Auxesia participation. The Guild can offer the same in return.

- Auxesia will negotiate supply & resource acquisition agreements from the Independent Miners Guild in coherence of supply requirements and availability as our first choice when seeking external aid to maintain stock of needed resources.

The Guild can offer its allies and close business partners prices that no other supplier can offer. I'll do some calculations and will come up with a few suggestions for numbers. Depending on the development of our cooperation, these can be adapted to mirror our progress.

- Auxesia offers the use of the City Ship Sovereign as a refueling point for local security patrols within the Taus and Independent worlds, and as a point of rest for any Guild members who seek such.

The Guild has no knowledge about this vessel, therefore we would request some more intel on it, so we can judge for which operations this offer of support makes sense.

---

I do not think that there are any fundamental issues that are brought up in your terms. I am positive that we can find good solutions that work for mutual benefit.

What the Guild needs is a quick summary of how Auxesia's relations with other organisations is. The Guild's political stances are not always easy and working with allies can become unexpectedly tricky fast when it's not clear where the different sides stand. Can you provide me with an overview of whom Auxesia regards as unfriendly/hostile?

Thank you in advance and the Guild is looking forward to the cooperation!
