Executor, I am contacting you with a deal proposed by the Order,

Colonel Eddy Narson from Order Overwatch reopened a communication channel with us from about a year ago. He wants to move fleets of transport ships through Ionia and Athos to deliver industrial supplies to Order bases deep in the Omicrons. He asks for safe passage and is willing to negotiate 2 things to make this happen.

First, they are relaxing their stances on Azurite gas, making them easier to access for us. The other thing is some technology that the Order is developing. It is meant to be a countermeasure against the emergence of newer more sophisticated jump drives.

The transports that they want to move are a mix of different factions, namely enemies like the GMG and ALG. There will also be Zoners and Freelancers who are contracted alongside the companies to move these supplies.

Given what Colonel Narson has asked us, the things they offer do not seem very appealing. Relaxed stances on exotic gas doesn't satisfy our immediate needs. Omicron Delta stands between us and the Azurite gas and the parties there we're willing to spend all their energy just to drive us out. It will be too dangerous and not worth the effort to start collecting Azurite now until we reestablish our authority in Delta. The promise of the jump drive countermeasure technology is also questionable. We have enough promises and not enough results coming from Evia, so the same thing coming from outsiders needs to be considered very carefully. I see potential in the idea, but the technology is still missing. If we are seeing new jump drives being utilized by others, a countermeasure will be invaluable for the defense of our space. The drives can be used to hinder us if the enemy has them and we don't have something prepared for it.

I however see a third thing that we gain out of this. If we let the transports through, it will allow the Order to rebuild their strength and hold back the Nomad menace from reaching our space, and at the same time also pressure the Core to stay put. We will be essentially investing into a stronger buffer zone between us and our enemies in the Deep Omicrons. However this can set a precedent for our people and for outsiders. That can be managed but it is worth noting.

Executor, I am sharing you this, because I believe you will see value in this deal the Order is proposing us. What they want from us is alot, These are active enemies of the Corsairs that they want us to just let through our space, especially GMG which have recently attacked the Freeport. I recommend excluding them from the list of ships If the Deterrence goes through it. We can also perhaps push more for this technology that they promise and actually get something material out of them.

I leave you to have the final say in this and afterwards I will relay your decision to the Colonel.
