We remain indebted to you.


Your agenda of spacefaring individualist autonomy is comparable to the Unioner spirit of pragmatic individualism intermeshed with social responsibility through planetary non-occupation that drives us to be the best spacefaring engineers that we could possibly seek to be.

Which brings us to a rather colossal question;

Your mobile shipyard project has caught the attention of the Direktorate. The fact remains that Pacifica is becoming somewhat overstretched and is in the process of servicing vessels from the Omegas, to the Sigmas - a somewhat limiting occasion as Pacifica cannot physically relocate itself throughout the depths of the Rhein, independent systems, Omegas, and Omicrons, without jarring itself apart. We suffer from demand that we cannot cater to.


Obviously the blueprints of your shipyard are your own. We seek not to invade or ameliorate the sanctity of your program. However, we would dare make the following request:


We request the option of storing a backup of the mobile shipyard blueprints once Vulkan has finished his consultation with your agency regarding the project, rather than simply deleting the vessel's project files from the Pacifica intranet as is customary. The obvious end intention would be to manufacture a more limited version of the ship for the Union's own employment, preserving only the wet-dock facilities and the vessel's propulsion frame (which we would, in turn, replace with an MOX-based reaction pile). The vessel would then be adorned in our own colours, plate-patterns and flags to prevent backregistration to your own hull.


In return, we offer to extend the League's use of Pacifica's dockland facilities... infinitely. You would perennially have a location to perform service, maintenance and component fabrication for any of the Hyperspace People's latent projects. In addition, you would benefit from undivided Unioner expertise towards the project's finalisation. The Unioners will provide material and academic expertise to the League, along with permitting the League undivided use of Bering's ample salvage fields for the procurement of components pertinent to the program.

We accept this is an enormous ask fielded in great faith. As such, there will be no negative consequences if you turn us down out of hand.

Regards,
Armin Jansen.
First contact representative and Diplomat-in-Chief of der Alster Union, Pacifica Base, Bering.
