Buen día,

Lord Stratarch, it is a pleasure. I cannot say we've had any formal encounter with yourselves before, spare for Director Cole's operative sent to Inverness and Dublin before then, so do forgive any potential inconsiderations.

In the time since this channel's initial contact, I've had the opportunity to look over the Ven'Gyr, and I'm of a mind to agree with you. While I am by no means qualified to assess the ship's state from an engineering standpoint, it is clear the vessel is damaged nearly beyond repair, with whole sections of the hull missing, entire decks exposed to the void of space, and who knows how many other copious amounts of issues plaguing her. Nevertheless, she is spaceworthy enough that we are confident she can be moved to Eolie without too much issue.

Your offer is quite intriguing, to say the least. Ravager was to be the flagship of the Armed Forces at one point, and a symbol many of our people, both within the Armed Forces and among the citizenry, rallied to. When this could no longer be, we were to be provided a new vessel fitting her classification, which once again united our people in the hopes of keeping the Outcasts' tide at bay, until the Commonwealth ceased to be and our hopes were dashed once more.
Our people are adamant, Lord Stratarch, but are also optimistic and driven. I've seen us at our worst, and it gave me hope yet. Fox Technologies, one of Lipari's domestic corporations, was to be assigned to study the frame of the Ven'Gyr. Having access to her sister ship would no doubt prove to be a boon beyond our original estimates. Just let us know where their survey vessel should rendezvous with your people in Vespucci, and I can have FoxTech on their way within the day. I'll be sure to send a cadre of Armed Forces personnel to ensure they observe the proper respects for those whose spirits call Ravager home.

On a final note, I do still wish to offer to Prometheus a place within the Republic's support crew when the Ven'Gyr is moved to Eolie. We have begun the last stage of readying, and those we have assigned to the operation are confident that Crayter's people will not be an issue, and I'm certain would welcome the expertise. It is, of course, a Legion vessel at the end of the day.

For the Republic.
