Distributors, aye? You have come to the right buyer, Montluc.

My men have spoken to yours. You were respectful. That goes far in securing a contract. Hard figures go further. We are especially impressed by Montluc's dedication to providing overtime pay for your employees. Many of our Rheinlandic industries could learn from you.

We are prepared to lobby on your behalf. Whilst some like to spread the belief that the Empire does not entertain foreign industry, the truth is that we do not tolerate industry that engages in tax evasion, manipulation of the political class, or extortion of their working class employees. Our preconditions for exporting any speculative expansion of MAE into Rheinland, is that you employ, and provide training to, Rheinlanders, whilst operating in Rheinland, within reason.

The ship in the right display pane is hull X-31 Caesar, known to your language as Project Midnight. It was the vessel of conveyance belonging to a former agent of the Gallic Royal Intelligence Services who conducted operations in Rheinland during the time of the Gallic Crown. The agent was embedded within the Unioner production yards on Pacifica Base, but was never able to report his experiments back. As you can see, the vessel has been re-skinned with Sirian materials, along with much of its avionics altered. As the Gallic Crown's loyalists are now cut off from the sources of production for the materiel of your vessels, you will, at some point, resort to using Sirian equipment to maintain your vessels. Our data will be able to cut several years off functionality experiments for the Royalists - at least as far as your fighter craft are concerned. Commit to a mutually useful relationship, aid the empire and the Unioners, and we will turn Project Midnight's analytics over to the Gallic Crown.

The Unioners hope to aid in the development of domestic infrastructure and humanitarian programs that will win the Emperor's favour for the trade unions - and, in turn, keep Imperial Shipping on our side, rather than against us. Assist us in this cause, and we will assist you in turn. As of right now, we have a procurement desire for Gallic medical equipment, avionics, and hypoentertainment systems. Devices that will measurably increase the wealthfare of the people. Help us in this endeavour and I will speak to the royal court over the possibility of granting Montluc offices in one of our outlying systems. We are steadily applying pressure on Libertonian corporations that happen to resist our reforms - there will be vacancies. Equally, the Empire will need an ally to push the Red Hessian threat out of Cologne, now that the Zurich gate has been established. The last problem Gallia needs is the red menace, who are so politically draconian they make Maquis look like creche inmates. I would wager that is a sentiment both you and your enemies in the more moderate parts of the Gallic Republic would agree on.

Contact me again once you have delivered ten thousand units of Gallic entertainment systems, Gallic medical goods, and Gallic plastics, to Planet Hamburg. The Harbourmaster is a friend of the Union - he will ensure that the supplies get to where they need to go.

For the common man.
