For your information:

1. IDF-IMG Contract

IMG has made a successful contract with Il de France shipping, a Gallic trade organisation. They buy ore from the IMG and we offer at fixed prices. We also try to provide security along the way, especially Orkney is a dangerous territory.

Ore pricing:

1. Niobium (if sold in T23): 3300 Credits per ton
   
2. Beryllium (if sold in T23): 4000 Credits per ton
   
3. Gold (if sold in Dublin): 4500 Credits per ton
   

2. Confidentiality and IDF Contract

As we all know, Gallian companies are not really warmly welcomed in Sirius. Especially the Tau-side IMG holdings know that if the invasion rumors spread by the Council are true, we need to make sure that Gallia does not wipe us out. Cooperating with them can only improve our situation in case an invasion takes place. It is as simple as that: you do not destroy a useful tool. I'd rather be the useful tool than the broken and discarded one.

Now, many others will not like us dealing with Gallia in a friendly way.

Consequence: Keep the involvement with the IDF confidential. This is extremely important in our holdings outside of the Taus. The less people know about our connections, the less problems we will have.


3. Hightened security in Orkney necessary

IMG wants to protect civilian transports, especially if they transport the ore we sold them. Orkney is a hot spot for Brigand piracy. According to our sources, they fly Gunboats often, but also field small craft.

I request the placement of Defensive Forces at Dounby. Bombers with some Fighters may be the best choice, perhaps assisted by a Capital vessel that can take down gunboats.

Until now we do not engage the Brigands that show on our screens as +LE+ but when there is IDF traffic, it's our task to defend them. Our deal can only come true if we overcome obstacles. Brigands are such an obstacle.

IDF will do their part to improve security. Work with their pilots to ensure the safety of these shipments.



4. Warning to our newer members: Mandalorian Mercs are hostile

The Board of Directors received news of an attack by Mandalorian Mercs against IMG miners in Omega 7.

Mandalorians hunt IMG vessels. You are worth 2 million credits to them. Sometimes they take 2,5 or 3 million and walk away. Consider that your best option to save your cargo, ship and health or even life.

They do not attack normally in Bretonian house space.

I wonder whether we can do something about that. Brets would not be happy to employ people who kill us everywhere except in Bretonia, while they have to do police work in Bretonia... hmmm... but that's another topic. If anybody feels like giving it a shot, contact me.



That's all the Trade Department has to say at the moment.
If you see some opportunities, call my office.


This is Samuel Degenhardt, out.
