Diamonds (Bautzen Station) --> Planet Leeds/Planet New London ($945/unit or 726/unit)
Beryllium (Cardiff Mining Facility) --> Dortmund Station ($1344/unit) People whom we do not ship with, and why: Daumann: They have a steady relationship with Republicanand have no interest in trade relations with us. Their loss. Republican: Our stiff competition, holds other half of Rheinland's market. Synth Foods: After taking the Consumer Goods/Food deal from BowEx, we are their main competition in this field. Unlike the other houses, though, we seem to realize what kind of a threat to the environment they are, so we shouldn't expect them to set foot on Cambridge anytime soon. Kusari: We are at war, making any exports from Kusari to be refused by us in order to keep good relations with Bretonia. BowEx: Our competition in Bretonia. I am confident we will push them out of business, as shown by our takeover of the Food/Goods trade in Liberty. Toxic Waste, MOX, and Plutonium: Due to their dangerous nature, for the safety of our pilots, we refuse to ship these items. Prisoners/Slaves: We do not ship people against their will, be them prisoners or slaves or otherwise. The only exception to this is pirates who attack us, which we may carry to the nearest police base. Base List: Liberty:
New York:
Trenton Outpost
Planet Manhatan
Baltimore Shipyard

Freeport 2 Notes: Border Worlds: For all trading purposes, Bases in the Border Worlds are considered territory of whatever sovereign house governs its parent company when in context of this list. Neutral Bases: All independent bases (Freeports, IMG, etc.) are considered bases inside whatever sovereign house controls the largest area in a given system when in the context of this list. Kusari: At the moment, the Bretonian Nation is at war with the Kusari Nation. Due to these circumstances, we are not to enter Kusari, until tensions between our nation and Kusari die down. Trains: As of late, bases which are shaped like Freistadt Base in Omega 7 do not have proper mooring fixtures to accommodate the Large Train . It is highly advised to refrain from docking with these bases until they receive proper docking apparatus. Liberty Exports: At this time, Liberty has placed an embargo on all nonhuman exports to Rheinland. We will comply to this, even though it seems to be nothing but a ploy to promote more aggressive actions from Rheinland. If this is how the Libertonians are going to be, this is how we will have to be until further notice.
If you would, please give a round of applause for Herr Idaho, who contributed the greater part of Liberties' Shipping interests to us. Any mix or match within these is acceptable. If you feel we have missed something, please, feel free to contact me personally, and we will review it with the utmost speed possible. I will also be adding the profit/unit to all of the runs, for clarification as to what is most profitable.
Thank you all for your patience in this matter,
~Gunther Koch, DTO

Good day lads,
Today I have to report that I am fully outfitted and prepared to escort our traders throughout Sirius. My current weapons loadout is:
2x Vengeance Mk V
2x Magma Hammer Mk IV
2x Imp. Debilitator
Cutter Mines
(Need Mini Razor)
Yesterday I had gone out to introduce myself to the lads at Kensington (//Get an ID), when I heard of the hostage situation at New London. I introduced myself to the lads, and quickly headed over to New London where I met both the BPA and captain Constantine. I arrived just as the captain of the hijacked ship took control of the bridge and launched all hostages. Subsequently, the terrorist launched from the bay of the train just as it was forced into the Planet's Defense Shields by the terrorist. I engaged Brady O' Sullivan with the BPA, and we successfully eliminated him.
Today, I headed over to Leeds to attain better shield busters for my Eagle. There I was confronted by a Kusari who worked for the Farmer's Alliance! He accosted me, and later asked to drop the Gaians I held in my cargo hold. I dropped them for him, just as the infamous Clover Tate appeared on sensors! I retreated to the New London Jump Gate, and was contacted by a Bounty Hunter who worked for the Bertonian Armed Forces, Gonta, and we returned with a BPA constable to force the criminals out of Leeds! I was, however, taken down by a torpedo launched by the Farmer, and hopefully rescued by the Constable or Bounty Hunter. This is exactly why I didn't join the BPA, I never wanted to act like a police constable....
Quite an eventful day,
~Douglas Fremont

Greetings,
As explained by Herr Koch, I just came back from a long business trip in Liberty. Trust me, I really missed good old Bretonia there. These Libertonians are just... so strange and always eating their fat paste rings they call donuts. Baaah. I therefore advise you to always keep a decent amount of tea and cookies on board, so that if your trip should take longer than expected, you will never have to cope with this kind of... food?
On my way back to Bretonia, I met our new recruit, the trader Gateway)Gibraltar. I helped him obtaining the proper ship and getting through the administrative hassle for a correct ID. He should now be ready for action. And, hum, Sir Buchanan, you owe 20 millions, so that next time I will meet a new recruit, I can still afford setting him up.
I intend to stay in Bretonia over the next few days, to discuss more exactly the terms of the business contracts we will set up with our different local partners. I hope I will see you soon there,

Mr. Fremont,
Welcome to HGL, though I hope your tenure here will be somewhat less hazardous than your first couple of days. I am glad you are set up; make sure that loadout is in keeping with Mr. Granger's expectations. We will hopefully be standardizing loadouts soon. If you require reimbursement, please notify Mr. Granger or myself.
Also, while you are expected to assist civilians who ask for help, or whom you encounter in the midst of being attacked, and while you may certainly assist lawful authorities upon request, please make sure that you do not unnecessarily place yourself at risk. You are, as you indicated, neither BPA nor BAF.
Nonetheless, well done. I understand from Dr. Worthington at Leeds Medical that you were released soon after entering their ER. Rest well; I have had tea and scones sent to your residence.
Mr. Idaho,
Thank you again for your exemplary work in researching Liberty trade routes. Please see either myself or Mr. Koch in space for reimbursement. Otherwise, we will schedule something to that end.

Content of message:
Ships Exeter, Coventry, and Mr. Fremont as escort, delivered a load of silver from Kensington Station to Planet Los Angeles. We then loaded up on superconductors at Los Angeles and returned to Southampton Shipyard.
It was a safe and pleasurable voyage out and back. Mr. Fremont provided excellent security coverage and thus, we encountered no pirates. After a slight absence, it was good to see Mr. Montgomery again. May we sail again in the near future.

Subject: Possible business proposition
Due to personel shortage in my own company I've been asked tentatively to propose a business deal of some sizable proportion to you on the behalf of my client. I'm not at liberty to reveal the client's name at this point but the preliminary discussions are taking place. See the comm http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...=14743&st=0
But before we can go on with this I'm asked to find out your delivery capabilities. How much personel you can possibly put to this venture? And what is your reasonable cargo delivery capability in a day?

Guten Tag Mr. Moore,
In regards to this opportunity I have been asked to respond to your concerns regarding our trader capacity and availability to these items.
I have reported in your discussion what we can ship from where. If there is anything else you need to know if we can ship, please check our large compilation of our trade routes. I am also adding more by the day, and editing our current ones, so there are plenty of things we can ship.
On terms of trader capacity, I believe that all six pilots in our trade wing are currently flying a Percheron with the exception of me, as I fly a Large Train. We are seen quite often, and I have received several requests on joining in the past few days. I am fully confident we can ship these items.
Hope that answers a few questions, if you have anymore please contact us again,

'Ello chaps!
Today went quite well. After responding to a call of a Lane Hacker threat from Mr. Koch and Mr. Idaho at Kensington, which ended before I arrived, I escorted our new recruit, a Mr. Jonas June, to get his shiny new Percheron back home at Planet Leeds. Mr. Idaho and I chatted for quite a bit, and then split ways for him to continue his research. Jonas and I then made a run with Beryllium to Pueblo, and brought Boron from Pittsburgh on the way back. No pirates, no arguments, no nothing, a bit disappointing. Upon arrival to LD-14 he payed me a good 600k.
A good day's events, even if boring

My Percheron, my faithful crew and I recently completed some lucrative trade deals. I first brought Diamonds from Planet New Berlin's dealers to Planet Leeds. It was a long but fruitful trip. Thankfully I encountered no pirates along the way, as I had no escort to protect my ship. Anyway, the dealers on Planet Leeds offered a total of 2,454,165 credits for the diamonds. A healthy price, I might say.
From Leeds, I headed back to HQ: Kensington Station. From there, I picked up a large shipment of Beryllium destined for Pueblo Station in Colorado. This run netted me 2,877,476 credits.
After heading to Planet Pittsburgh to pick up Boron from their miners, my navigator set a course to LD-14 in Leeds. Again, it was a fruitful and safe journey. The staff on the LD-14 station bought the Boron for 3,225,474 credits.
Today was a great day for the company, as my proud Percheron "Gibraltar" showed off in Bretonnia, Liberty and Rheinland. I'm sure some other traders were thinking about joining us here at HGL.
