Good day Shipping and PR employees. As mentioned not some time ago by Mr Richter we are indeed moving into new and changing times at an alarming rate. The war with liberty seems to have jumped at us by surprise as well as the recent boom in ship manufacturing and commodity demand changes siriuswide. So let me take this moment to set things up to date with both the PR wing and a few other matters that need attending to.
With great thanks to the recently developed "Colossus" class transport our shipping fleet is stronger than ever before. And the relaxation of the restrictions on the tourist industry and scientific commodity trading allows us to profit all the more from markets we'd never thought open to us. But even though these times still seem high, pirates have also grown strong amongst us and are still capable of stealing a days pay from us with the leverage of a torpedo or gun. And so that brings me to the reason we are here ladies and gents of the PR, to protect those valuable lives, cargos and profits.
Recruitment for the PR wing has now been reopened. All potential applicants read here before posting in the recruitment thread.
To all current PR employees.
With thanks to the Rheinland Military, up until now we have been given the privelage of use of the Rheinland Military class bomber. But due to the recent ship manufacturing boom the Military has decided to revoke that right as to keep equality and non-favouratism amongst all Rheinland factions. This could not come at a better time as the variety of replacements is almost endless. However, this is no excuse to buy any ship as you please. I ask all current employees that fly a Rheinland Bomber to exchange it for any of the granted ships from the RepEx PR Employee Handbook that i hope you will all have read. If you need funding to purchase any new vessel or weaponry please contact me by the secure comms or as a reply to this message. For now we recommend the civilian bomber as the only bomber available to be bought at this time. Be sure to check for updates on any new vessels added to the granted list of ships for PR wingmen.
The deadline for all Rheinland Bombers to be decomissioned from RepEx is 15/03/09. That gives you til the end of the week.
This is a call to all RepEx join the PR today. Today I was escorting the Odyssey with a load of High Temp. Alloy on the regular route. When we cleared Sigma 13 I thaught we were home free. Was I ever wrong. It seems that with the KNF's attention focused on the BAF conflict the pirates have moved into New Tokyo proper. On the lane between the Honshu gate and Shinagawa Stn. we met up with some none too friendlies. 3 [Kiretsu], and a \CS\ have the lane dropped and demand the cargo. As I was vastly outnumbered and out lives were in jepordy I gave the order for Odyssey to drop in and lets move out. I let them know that I would be back
On a side note Kusari seems to have gotten very hostile indeed today. At the end of the lane after dropping cargo and moving out, we find another \CS\ coming to assist the first group. We continuied to Shinjuku and there were 2 Hacker Gunships battling the station turrets attempting to pirate another indy trader there. I say to all RepEx be carefull in Kusari, and join the PR to aid in warding off situations such as this in the future.
Just a quick reminder all, under no circumstances are you to go anywhere near Liberty. The last thing I want is a political and diplomatic situation on my hands. And for the lot of you regular Republican transports (I know you RepEx lot have a brain) let me put this into easy terms for you to understand.
You go there, you lose your job.
Capiche?
Excellent. RepEx, if I catch any of you lot in Liberty I'll beat you with a large stick and fine you 20 million credits. Gottit?

Guten Tag, over the last couple of days I have been flying in my new ship, the Collusus. I must say it is a fine ship, but abit tricky on the trade lanes. I have made a stockpile of 98 million credits, and spent the 160 million on the ship, a profitable couple of days I must say.
I shall keep you informed.

Count 3 Colossus Trains and one Heavy Tanker.
We made some good profit for RepEx. Ran some Import/Export runs up to Kusari and Bretonia.
And the Trade Lanes were safe. Not one pirate sighting.

Veterans *Optional*(Four Consecutive Months of Serivce with loan fully paid off): RepEx-Shipname
(Gods and Titans preferably and or anything appropriate for shipping vessals flying under Republican Express and Rheinalnd)
Examples: RepEx-Shipping|080 and RepEx-Republican.Star
Thank You For Listening

As this is my first message he I would like to take the time to introduce myself and my ship.
The name is Jan Knoll, I fly the RepEx-Shipping|358. I recently was piloting a Colossus, but I found it did not conform well with my demands of navigating asteroid fields of which I do tend to cross some every now and then. If there is ever an iteration of that model I of course will consider flying it, as to better represent RepEx.
Currently I am flying a Heavy Tanker model. It is a nice ship but I need to gather more experience with it to fully understand its potential and usefulness. I am of course aware that it features a slightly smaller cargohold than the Colossus, but this is (at least) in my oppinion outweighed by it superior maneuverability and thus better suited to my flying style.
Now apart from that boring dribble I would also like to announce that in the past week or so I have been very profitable. I managed to make a revenue of around $50 million of which I will soon send the monthly fee to our HQ.
To all shipping vessels, we still need invoices from Nyoko Kamisaka, Peter Strauss, Brain Barnaby, and Jeremy Isaacs. These are critical for the upkeep of Profit's Revenge, and for maintaining our shipping fleet.
Also, be aware that the vessel Razakel is trying to pass himself off as a Republican vessel. We have no records of him and think that he is a miscreant who is trying to make a quick credit off the war. Aleart the lawfuls if you see him.
Finally, we are implimenting a new naming structure. Captains will be classed as "Senior Shippers" after four months of invoice forwarding and complete loan repayment. At this point Captains will be allowed to change their ship's name in the Sirius registry following this format; RepE-Shipname. Junior shippers will continue using the RepEx-Shipping|### format. This policy goes into effect now, and all Senior Shipper statuses will be determined from this point on. Other benifits of Seniority will be announced later.
That is all for now, continue reporting profitable cargo via our internal comms (//skype, if you're not in our chat PM me)
Be Profitable.

Greetings, I had a good day of trading on my first day with the company. I Made about 50mil, with the help of 358 i learn't a few trading routes.
I ran into two vessels that taxed me, the 1st one was in the New London System and his ship goes by the name of Cossach. Then 2nd one was in the Omega 7 System and his ship goes by the name of Miguel.Horne. They got 1.5mil off me in total so it wasn't too bad.
