Greetings,

I am Bjorn Alexander and have the distinct honor of leading the Guild these days. I will tell you Minister firstly, talking to Crayterians about shipyards is not something I wanted to partake in whatsoever. The treachery of your Republic in favour of your Bretonian overlords in regards to the Aland incident is not something that has been forgotten among our personnel, and thus any deal towards reconciliation and on the road towards trust will come with a steep price tag.

I will not rehash the wound you laid on us, however, but instead acknowledge the fact that Tau 44, of which our factions share combined heritage therein, is secure now due to the payment in Crayterian blood, spilt in defense against the mutant ravagers of Hispania during Operation Orange Hammer, and out of which, I am obliged to thank your service men and women. Though the Guild stood with you in those dark days against that existential threat, the lions share of inflicted pain was borne by the Crayter Republic.

In light of that sacrifice, we will be open to discussing a deal. The Republic still retains historic right-of-use to one drydock aboard Singapore, the addition of 3 more is a massive request. The Guild is willing to allow the leasing of 2 additional drydocks for processing of the in system wreckage, but under the following conditions:

• The Crayter Republic will station a fighter and/or bomber squadron in Tau 37 to aid Guild forces in holding the frontier from the Maltese to prevent further incursions. You will be granted access to hangars aboard Falkland Base to maintain this group
  
• The Crayter Republic will relinquish any Guild vessel wreck salvaged in Tau 44 back into our posession free of charge.
  
• The Crayter Republic will transfer ownership of one of its mothballed Zephyr-class Carriers into the posession of the Independent Miners Guild for the defense of the Tau's and train our paramilitary forces in its operation and usage.
  
• The Crayter Republic will continue to prioritize the safety and welfare of the people of the Tau's over the opinions and agenda's of the Houses that surround them.

If those conditions can be met, we will allow the use of two additional drydocks at Singapore beyond the one you currently have right-of-use over.

Thank you for your time.



Bjorn Alexander
