Subject: Acquisition of Permittance
Saludos Grandes Maestros of the Gallic Union,
I am Alfonso Sagarra, newly appointed Master of Coin for the Iberian Empire, a Corsair nation of Crete. It has been brought to the attention of our King, Enrique Herrera of Montañaria, that great trade potential exists between us and your great Empire, one that we are eager to take advantage of, for mutual benefit.
The other Houses were quick to scorn our exchange long ago, before the establishment of the Empire, because Corsairs are seen as outsiders, though we are from a sleeper ship of Old Earth, no different then they, and far removed from the mutants of Malta, whom all, including us, universally hate.
Though our nation does not have massive quantities of manufactured goods as your great House, we do have access to vast quantities of Relics of xeno origin and ancient Artifacts which we've come to understand are prized by elite echelons of House society as well as research institutions. We have no need of these, you can't trip on a rock on Crete without overturning some artifact of some sort it seems, and we have need of more practical commodities then these.
Además, to the point: One of our trade vessels attempting to bring some of these items was informed today that a law exists within your country requiring a licencia especial, a special permit, to be carried by any foreigner bringing in these, eh, restricted, items.
Major legal and political change in the Houses, unfortunately does not always find its way to the Black Court, deep in the Edge Worlds, I'm afraid and so this transport team was unaware. However, your agents can attest, the pilots thereof, proceeded respectfully, paid a fee, and peacefully exitted your borders upon being educated of this law. He was even transmitted a data file of your current laws, much to our fortune, going forward.
We request therefore, an application of this special license be entered on behalf of the Iberian Empire for our pilots to be allowed entry carrying these goods to aid both our economies and should you need some arrangement be met, we will entertain its details before El Rey.
