Due to the recent decisions made by the Professorship, i will take this discussion regarding the Salvage convoy from here - and onwards. Given the circunstances it appears that assigning one of the mining assets of The Alster Union would be the best option. Meanwhile, we have a more concerning matter at hand, which would be convoy's security.
I would strongly encourage assigning a snubcraft to serve as a forward scout and a ticket from any unwanted odds we might run into at some points of the route.
