Good day, chaps!
Today, the Sea of Dreams took a contract to carry Basic Alloy out to Freeport 8. Not the most profitable run, but it allowed me to scout out the Sigmas and the Omicron Rho jump hole. Sigma-21 is right on the front lines of the Kusari-Rheinland war, but neither side gave me any trouble passing through. I encountered a Corsair (//NPC) patrol in Sigma-15 that managed to take a bite out of my hull, but they weren't too much trouble. Overall, the run is shorter and less dangerous than, say, a trip to the Coalition for ordnance, but it isn't a day on the lanes, either. Something to keep in mind if any trade opportunities open up out that way.
On to the other matter at hand. I have requests out to the governments of Bretonia, Liberty, and Kusari concerning the use of Pitbull and Bullmastiff-class transports, as well as Gallic civilian ships, in their respective territories. So far, I've only heard back from Liberty, and the news wasn't good. For now, any guild members operating one of those ships should avoid travelling with them in Libertonian space. Anyone who chooses to do so, does it at their own risk, and forfeits any Guild legal representation should they get caught.
Also concerning Liberty, I was informed by one of their Admirals that the Treaty of Elysium Fields is no longer considered to be in force on the Libertonian end. Without even basic diplomatic issues settled, I was unable to negotiate ship licenses with the Libertonian government. Somebody at the Ministry of Relations might want to give them a call and see what's going on.
