Department of Trade and Economics

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Dean from Interspace Commerce;

Thank you for your application and for re-registering your base in the new system. Unfortunately, your base does not qualify for the exemption that you listed, as it only applies to bases owned by DSE), Ageira~, and [*USI*] along with those owned by the Forces of Liberty itself.

Spoiler

Further conditions:

This applies to everybody except the Forces of Liberty, DSE), Ageira~ and [*USI*]. That means that independent ventures of, for example, Deep Space Engineering or Kishiro Technologies, must be costed according to the values above. However, the presence of each base is still subject to approval by the government of the Republic of Liberty, and will be removed if necessary.

Therefore, your monthly cost comes to 63 million credits each month.

Your application form is pending and will be marked as completed when the credits are received.

- William Hawthorne, Secretary of State for Trade and Economics
