As planned, this convoy was bigger and it has developed the channel for small routine trades between Kamakura and the Deterrence, vendors selling the body augments on Kamakura are enjoying their new found clients. Other than that, the same route was used as the first convoy, through the Sigmas and into the Satsunan Cloud. This convoy managed to deliver around 42 thousand units of cargo to the stations warehousing units and brought back about as much body mods into Creta. No problems were reported with the whole process.
Now onto other matters, the Raba frigates. I respect your guts to keep extending our deal, maximizing its value. It is right for both sides to seek fair value.It is in your culture to be business-oriented, and the families of the Alliance know better than most how to draw strength from such dealings. But remember this, more Rabas in Deterrence hands means more cargo moved through your channels, more security for your vendors, and more profit for the Sumiyoshi Alliance. Our strength becomes your strength.
We are sending proof of some 40 captured GMG members, dead men walking. They are put on ice and will be transferred to you in our next convoy, a way to show your families the Corsarios deliver when you ask them.
The final trade fleet will be assembled soon this week. It will have to be approved by the Conclave. When the convoy is complete, we will deepen our operations. To do that we will require the Raba engine module.
The Conclave expects initial confirmation of this deepening of our operations in the next 10 days. This will keep progress moving without needless delays. I've placed my trust that the Sumiyoshi Alliance is as commited as we are to keep this project moving along.
I will also leave this recording of the transport leader during the convoy:
Greetings Representatives of the Sumiyoshi Alliance
I bring both welcome and troubling news.
On the positive side: my crew and several allied trade pilots successfully delivered some 15,000 units of High-Quality Artifacts to Kamakura without incident. The goods are secure and the channels remain profitable — for now.
The worrying part: while transiting the Ionia→Sigma-19 corridor we detected an active construction site in Sigma-17, directly on our trade lane. As we approached, we were engaged by a Fiji Liner in orbit above the site. The area is also populated by multiple Core and GMG vessels — a concentration that cannot be dismissed as routine.
If this facility completes, it will threaten our direct trade routes to your clans.
Recommendation: we should immediately task recon assets to gather hard intel on the site. If reconnaissance confirms a newly established Core base, I propose we mount a coordinated strike to deny its completion — swift and decisive, executed as a single, coherent campaign to protect our lines and reinforce our alliances.
Let us show these bambinos the price of threatening the Imperio’s commerce.
For the Imperio. For the Clans.
PS: i had a little chat about this construction Site with a Fellow Hogosha Pilot, I hope he can confirm our Sightings
