Subject: Commissioning of a Bulwark-Class Vessel

---

To the Esteemed Leadership of Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing,

I write to you today to formally request the construction of a Bulwark-class vessel under my command. Recent developments along key trade routes have made it clear that standard freighters and lightly armed transports are no longer sufficient to ensure safe passage. Pirate activity has grown more organized and aggressive, targeting valuable shipments with increasing frequency. The risks are no longer a mere inconvenience but a direct threat to both personnel and operations. Given these circumstances, the enhanced protection and firepower that the Bulwark-class provides have become a necessity rather than a luxury.

As an independent Bristol Constructions contractor, my livelihood depends on the ability to move goods safely and efficiently. The Bulwark’s reinforced hull and advanced defensive capabilities will serve as a crucial deterrent, allowing my crew to continue operations without the constant threat of being overwhelmed by raiders. A well-armed presence will not only discourage potential attacks but also grant us the ability to push through hostile encounters should the situation demand it.

Beyond security, I intend to expand my trade routes into deeper space, where more valuable cargo opportunities await. However, venturing beyond the well-patrolled lanes presents a new set of challenges. The risks of long-range operations require a vessel that can endure extended journeys, navigate unpredictable conditions, and protect its payload against unforeseen threats. The Bulwark-class is uniquely suited for such endeavors, providing the resilience and combat capability necessary to secure these ventures.

I am prepared to discuss the necessary payment terms, and construction timelines at your earliest convenience. I trust that Bristol Constructions, with its reputation for excellence, can deliver a vessel suited to these operational needs.

Looking forward to your response.

Good afternoon Mr Voss,

Thank you for reaching out to us here at Akutan. We’re always eager to help and support our independent contractors in furthering Bristol’s interests across Sirius, especially if they would further it in a Bristol ship.

We currently have a Bulwark class Heavy Explorer in stock at Akutan Production Facility, the hull price being 15.000.000 cr. Please bear in mind that this price does not include specific equipment such as weapons systems, shields, or secondary propulsion systems. I would recommend Alster Shipyard in Hamburg for final outfitting.

Should this be acceptable, please forward the amount to account Akutan. Once we’ve confirmed payment, preparations will be made for hull transfer codes to be sent by secure transmission.

I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Good afternoon,

I appreciate your swift response and the opportunity to acquire a Bulwark-class Heavy Explorer from your facility. Bristol’s commitment to supporting independent contractors does not go unnoticed, and I am glad to be working with a company that understands the challenges we face.

The hull price of 15,000,000 credits is noted, as is the requirement for additional outfitting at Alster Shipyard. I will make the necessary arrangements to secure the remaining systems once the transfer is complete.

I have made the full payment to the account Akutan.

I look forward to finalizing this acquisition and bringing a Bristol ship into service. Thank you again for your time and assistance.
