Subject: The Shipment of H-Fuel

Allow me to introduce myself; I am Daisa Hajime Kitao, one of the more junior members of the Council of the Rising Suns as far as seniority is concerned.

Regarding your further enquiry about H-Fuel, if you have shipping permission from the GMG, that clears you for shipping through their space as well as the purchase of their product. However, currently Kishiro Technologies holds the sole right to ferry this fuel source through the Empire of Kusari. This means that no other shipper, not even Samura, is by the current corporate law allowed to move it through Kusari.

Thus it was the decision of the Council to direct you to Kishiro Technologies. Any decision they come to on matters concerning the movement of commercial quantities of H-Fuel through Kusari will be backed in full by the Kusari Naval Forces and the Council of the Rising Suns.

If you wish to cut down your journey times by travelling through Kusari space with H-Fuel, you will have to negotiate with a Kishiro Technologies representative on the matter.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Subject: H-Fuel Shipping Rights


Daisa Hajime Kitao e,

I deliver the following message in the most respectful way possible. As a GMG Guild Master and dual citizen of the GMG and Planet Honshu, I have studied the Kusari Legal Codex in great detail.

The response that you submitted to Duke-sama states that Kishiro holds exclusive shipping rights of HFuel through Kusari territory. According to this verdict Samura as well as currently approved corporations, and presumably the Gas Miners Guild, are prohibited to ship HFuel through Kusari.

With the new GMG Distribution Agreement, Kishiro Technologies holds exclusive distribution rights of GMG HFuel and Plutonium to planets and stations within Kusari and Liberty territory. Yet there is a small market for independent corporate entities such as Omicron Supply Industries (OSI) to distribute to Zoner Freeports and other unaligned stations outside of house borders. Multi-licensed shippers must retain their rights to distribute HFuel and Plutonium to unaligned star systems, regardless of the new GMG-Kishiro distribution agreement.

The current version of the Kusari Legal Codex allows corporations to apply for a multi-license to ship HFuel and Plutonium in addition to the other restricted goods. If the council intends on excluding HFuel and Plutonium from the "restricted goods" category on the Codex, the GMG requests that a license be made available on the Codex to protect GMG's "secondary" distributors' shipping rights of the aforementioned cargo.

Keigu,

Ichimoto Nozaki
Guild Master
