Mr. Goodman,
I thank you for the clarification on what you are looking for specifically.
Our internal tests have confirmed that the Bulwark, being built for deep space traversal, is capable of doing just that. The ship has been flown from the edges of Gallic space, through the Taus, through Liberty and finally into the depths of Rheinland. This voyage has not required the crew of the Bulwark to make a single stop. The ship requires a more infrequent scheduled maintenance of once every 3 years, however due to Bristol being the only supplier of this, the cost of maintenance can be high, depending on the damage sustained.
As a large portion of Bristol's operation is the transportation of goods within and without the Five Houses, the protection of our personnel is of paramount importance. However, we also do not neglect both personal and communal comfort. The ship, being officially registered as a Heavy Explorer, is capable of sustaining an operational crew of 50 souls for 90 days without running out of supplies (Please note that a crew of 50 is the minimum requirement for the optimal performance of the vessel). There are some variances in this as with some cargo sacrifices, the ship can host up to 150 souls, however that is generally not something we anticipate to be commonplace for such deep space exploration.
Additionally, we have had several expedition and transportation tests throughout the very same Omicrons as well, and the ship has preformed admirably on all counts, including standing its ground when needed.
Our official stance on increasing the Bulwark's power output has to remain a strong "no". However, after consulting with my colleagues, we would very much be interested in the possibilities this would open for both parties.
To address the final point, the lease we currently offer for the Bulwark is as follows.
Standard Rental Rate:
The standard rental fee is 500,000 credits per week.
Included in this fee, Bristol Constructions and Manufacturing commits to providing necessary technical assistance, including regular maintenance, refueling, and expertise for weapon and equipment exchanges.
Up to four weeks of rental fees will be deducted from the final contractual price if you decide to purchase these ships.
Ownership and Crew:
The leased ships will remain the property of Bristol Constructions and Manufacturing.
Our company will provide the crew for the vessel, who will be fully cooperative to meet the needs of your evaluations.
Purchase Option:
Bristol Constructions and Manufacturing commits that at any time during the trials, you may opt to purchase this ship. This will allow for full transfer of ownership and control over the leased vessel.
Data Security:
In the event that you decide not to proceed with the purchase, Bristol Constructions and Manufacturing commits to erasing any sensitive data from the ships computer systems in cooperation with your personnel should you deem it necessary.
Should you have any additional questions or concerns regarding any part of the Bulwark or the leasing of the vessel, please do let me know.
