Admiral Shepard,

Firstly, let me apologize for the lack of a response to your previous attempt at contact. Tensions surrounding the recent actions of Bretonia as well as the recent political landscape of the Republic have occupied much of my time. I am pleased, however, to hear of your safe arrival.

Regarding Sabah, many of the ships you may have seen moored with the station are supply hulks, to be utilized for spare parts, emergency reactivation, and even training new crews for newer models. Most of the ships moored with Sabah are actually combat capable, though are heavily outdated compared to modern Crayterian warships, and likely wouldn't stand up in battle against contemporary designs by even civilian contractors. Regardless, they are still of use, either through previously mentioned scrapping or tedious modernization.

Still, I'm interested in hearing exactly what you have in mind.

For those we left behind.
