Miss Santos.

Upon verification with the Commander's office, your story checks out. I will further state that there is no codex of laws upheld by the LFR beyond its territorial claims that are asserted through force of arms.

Your installation, though humble, still represents a risk of harbouring and supplying parties whose continued presence in Ontario is subject to the previously mentioned force of arms. Namely, the Junkers, Hackers, and Rogues.

Despite this, I'm under instructions to offer you an informal memorandum of understanding which may be subject to amendment and formalisation in the future. These terms are as follows:

1. All associates of the LFR and directly affiliated members of the various militias will be entitled to docking rights at your installation, where they will be further permitted to engage in trade as free individuals.

2. You will not allow your installation to be used as a safe harbor by the aforementioned parties, the Technocracy, or any "lawful" authority that seeks to police or reclaim the system for the Republic of Liberty. Safe harbor, for all intents and purposes of this agreement, will be defined as being the indefinite provision of docking rights to such parties or the provision of supplies to their forces.

3. Scavengers affiliated with your organisation will not intrude on salvage sites marked for recovery or scrapping by the LFR or its militias. You will be notified of such sites on a case by case basis and allowed the right to dispute salvage exclusivity if you can provide verifiable evidence of being a first finder.

4. You will not, under any circumstances, disclose the location of Ontario's jump holes to any of the previously mentioned parties in clause 2.

5. You will be entitled to petition the LFR Assembly or the Alliance regarding any material needs, concerns, or matters of discussion. Including but not limited to station defence, convoy escorts, salvage disputes, or supply arrangements.

These terms are open to some degree of negotiation and amendment. Consider your response and respond expediently.

"Fear the White Star."
