Logistics

Ensign Gobineau. Your Commandant and intelligence detachment travelling with you had mentioned the topic of logistics. We both think alike: any operation requires line of supply, or risk running out of steam. I am Admiral Golanski, C.O. of combined Order forces in Sirius. Due to relatively sensitive and diplomatic nature of Order-Gallic relations, I have taken it upon myself to address those issues. Planning ahead to maintain a network of agents and ships across the entirety of known space should speak enough of my competence in the matter.

L’ane? I saw a couple of those back in Gallia. Beautiful Corse design and handcraft. Maintenance and repair can be done on most Order installations. As we speak, we are working out our IFF systems to accommodate your entire battlegroup. We do not want to take any chances with minefields, autonomous weapon platforms or worse. In the meantime we can send some of our engineers alongside a linguistic expert to bypass shipboard VI until a more permanent solution can be implemented. We have personal experience with rogue Gammuian AI or ‘toasters’ as we call them, necessitating development and introduction of more sophisticated ‘dumber’ but e-war proof electronic systems. VI are merely well camouflaged mockery of true intelligence.

Fuel is unavoidably required to be imported from your homeland. Nobody in Sirius is using fossil fuels nowadays with the exception of some ground vehicles. While I understand that your reactors function on the same fusion principles, obtaining high quality compatible oil on-site is impossible at this moment of time. All we can do is store surplus amounts planet-side for later use.

The Daumann. Contractor of the Core. It's teeming with foreign intelligence agents and spies that I doubt would take kindly to competition. Most direct route out of Omicron Delta leads straight to hotly contested Sigmas.Core controls one node, while The Order controls another. I am going to offer any and all transports under your command unrestricted access though ‘Eridani Abyss’ which will land you in GMG space that had been spared horrors of the latest war. From that point onwards, Kusari and Rheinland are easily accessible and pirate activity is at an all time low if you move fast. Generally only madmen and Nomad-aligned forces attack heavily armored Order convoys.

I do have something to offer you. Once the hurdles of docking rights will be sorted, The Order does sit on a world full of rare metals. The most valuable of that is Palladium: a useful catalyst of many industrial processes and high value component of energy and electronic systems. Due to scarcity of this material in Sirius, we can exploit this niche as one can carry aforementioned cargo without any legal issues. Specifics can be discussed in the near-future on Akabat itself.
