(]c[) Zoner Trading Consortium is pleased to meet Samura Heavy Industries

[sadtranslation]

[font=Tahoma][color=#FFFFFF]Esteemed Jien Kogen, the Emperor of the Kusari Empire and distinguished Shogun Sulu, we present our apologies for distracting your mind from your cares about the straight and narrow way of the Kusari well-being and growth. The Zoners Trading Consortium, would like to make an important proposal to you, and the Kusari Empire.

The ongoing conflicts in Tau-31 made a lot of innocent civilians suffer a lot of hardship. The fighting for Tau and Leeds drives many people out of their homes and makes them seek shelter on the neutral outposts in the vicinity. Being an organisation maintaining a neutral position towards the sides involved in this conflict the Zoners are perhaps the only who are able to provide help to the suffering in this area.

Lending a helping hand for those who are longing for a serene sky above their heads, a peaceful coexistence with others, and the chance to develop their lives despite of the horrors of war is the way to follow our own basic principles, which have been the foundation of the Zoner Communities from beginning on. It'€™s a matter of honor and a principle of changing Sirius to be a better place for the powerless innocent. That is the reason why we are humbly asking for your help in this venture.

Increasing our aid programs we are planning to perform a full-scale humanitarian operation in Tau-31, in order to provide food, medicine and other essential goods to war-weary civilians. We are also intending to move refugees temporarily out of the critical zone by bringing them to our Freeports or even Gran Canaria where they should have a chance to survive the conflicts.

Thus we are asking the authorisation to transport humanitarian goods and refugees through Kusari space (including Leeds system) between Freeports and Holman Outpost, because we are not capable of defending our humanitarian transports except for minor threats on the way like pirates or occasional cutthroats. We feel that our motives are a matter of kindness and honor, which is why we honestly hope that Your Greatness might clear the way for us.

Yours sincerly,
Richard Maack;
Dankien Moebus,
Head of Trade & Supplies, Zoners Consortium.
