Subject: Requisition of RM-1
Commander Officer,
I am requesting permission to purchase a RM-1 currently at Malta ship port. This Destroyer will replace my previous command ship used to support smuggler activities and acquire corporate resources. My previous ship has been decommissioned due to un-repairable hull fatigue fractures accumulated during jumps and weapon scoring.
I have spent most of my life as a military man within the Outcast ranks and hold our nations interests in esteem. A major portion of my later career was Captain of a RM-1 and I guess you can say I miss the dull drum of the RMs engines. She always felt like home. I spent a good portion of my old days patrolling Eta for Corsairs and at times assisting Asgard Warriors. We had a friendly working relationship back then I hope they are still around? I havent scanned many in the last year. All and all, I have no regrets and even a few high points kicking Corsair thrusters. As you know all good things come to an end, so my military career ended in honor after 23 years. I guess I was stepping aside for the young bucks eager to rise to prestige.
After my retirement from the Outcast military I have acquired a taste for the trade business which offers quiet relaxation and time to pursue my personal interests. Currently I own two pirate trains and have two fairly savvy Captains at the helm of these transports. These trains bring approximately 40k tones/week of commodities into Malta. Outgoing they haul the prime Outcast export. We make top credits hauling OD into Liberty.
During these last years I have accumulated enough liquidated funds to offer the full price for the RM-1. I look forward to outfitting one of your cruisers to become my home and command center. The new Destroyer will carry the Outcast paperwork (ID) and I plan to name her Difensora.
Difensora will be my home and command center where I operate my trade business. Then on occasion offer protection to fellow Outcasts and friendlys when tempered appropriately. I tend to keep a low profile and always maintain distance when Liberty populous is concerned. In my business, keeping a low profile is mandatory.
Of course if a national emergency were to arise you have my personal comm number. I still remember how to vaporize hulls and I keep a disciplined crew at hand.
Bottomline, my charter assists the Outcast nation by maintaining the Cardamine trade routes between Alpha and those wealthy / fat systems.
