//In the pursuit of perfect RP, the TG has found this route which will become one of our main trading runs..
I am proud to announce the commencing of our newest trade run, it involves the shipment of high purity Detrium from Omega-49, to the Zoner controlled Freeport Six in Tau-31. The return route will include the movement of much needed Hfuel from Freeport Six to Planet Canaria (Omega-49)
We at TG respect the reality of the current "diplomatic status" of Bretonia and Kusari, and due to the delicate nature of trading through any of these systems we would like to officially bring-to-attention this route. We assure both parties that NO trading of goods from anywhere but Zoner bases is being done on this route, no detrium will ever be brought to Honshu, and engine components will never be seen "coming back down the Tau's" and into Omega-49. Please respect the fact that we need to supply our bases, and that we can assure you no trading between Kusari -> Bretonia or Bretonia -> Kusari trading is being done.
This is a Zoner->Zoner route, and therefore meets all regulations and rules of war, neither side being aided. So please, pilots of house militaries and police groups of Bretonia/Kusari, please do not fire upon our ships as we can prove we are not supplying either side.
Thank you-
Ace
//by the way, KNF obviously this route concerns you little, we simply included you in this relay as Tau-31 falls under your current jurisdiction...
...to the BPA (and allies)-I know that you actively prevent the movement of Detrium to Planet Honshu. If you ever doubt our intentions, please scan our ships on our return runs. You will see that we never have engine components (FP6 does not sell them)... If a [tg] member is spotted making Detrium runs to Honshu or bringing engines through Bretonia from Kusari please alert us to it immediately and rest assured it will be handled.
All [tg] members have been told that this is the route and no deviations are allowed, so it shouldn't ever be a problem.

Sir,
as you did not give away your true name, I will continue with calling you by your nickname, 'Ace'.
Let me begin with the fact that I've never heard of a 'Traders Guild' as of yet, not to mention that I never heard of their headquarters or a guild master either.
As well, let me correct you. Freeport 6, to my knowledge, does not float in Tau 31, but in Tau 29, within a stone's throw from Samura's stations out there. In order to reach it, you need not only to cross Tau 31, but to venture into - currently - Kusari controlled space.
You seem to be Zoner affiliated, but the name of your organization certainly does not give that away.
Anyways, the Bretonia Police Authority will not tolerate any trade through Tau 31. As well, you are saying it is pure 'Zoner to Zoner'-trade. Well, let me ask you, who is buying that Deuterium in Tau 29? The Zoners don't need it out there, I hope, and the only other customer would be Kusarian. This won't fly, trust me.
Any vessel trying to break through the Tau 31-blockade will be treated the same way; you will drop your cargo or sell it within Bretonia, period. Any violators of these rules will be treated as supporters of the enemy of Bretonia. And, trust me, you don't want Bretonia against your 'Guild'.

Re: Kusari Embargo.
Message Begins:
Gentlemen, Ladies, as I believe you are aware, the House of Bretonia is engaged in a war with the Kusari Empire. As freeport six is very much within the borders of the Kusari Empire, our projections suggest that nintey percent of the Deuterium shipped there will in turn be sold to the Kusari. It will find its way into the hands of our enemies. It will be used to kill Bretonian men and women, and subjugate Bretonian children. We understand that the Empire of Kusari has made such prospects economicly attractive. In our own turn, we will make it dangerous. Shipments of Deuterium, as well as any other war materials, through tau 31, will be destroyed. We will not negotiate, and we will not tolerate supporters of the Kusari.

The Guild Council wold like to formally put an end to this discussion and in no way seeks to have it's traders follow this route. Please note that this was merely brought up for discussion and that none of our people have run the trade route in question. No offense or hostility was intended.

I'm not a member of KNF high command, but i may answer you, to get a response from KNF at least. I can say to you, your current planned route does not effect the Kusari Legal Codex. So you may commit the support of Zoner stations as you want. Since Kusari does benefit from, an escort through Tau29 and 31 could be established as protection against pirates sold by Bretonia.
Due to the circumstances, bretonian tawakemonos always make, you may choose another route via Rheinland and Corsair territory, implying engine components and plutonium. Therefore you will have to pay a trade license. For closer information about and to get a possible corporation discount, contact the KNF high command directly. Zoners are always friends of Kusari.
