Dear Gallic Brigands,

my name is Mr. Tarkin, Agent of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service.
I send this communique to make a first contact with you and your organization.

I will introduce our organization shortly:
We are fighting against all enemies of Bretonia as a part of the BAF, but with the permission to enter foreign space without the need of permission from the BAF Admirality.
As you can imagine, we are also fighting Gallia.
For the effectiveness of our operations we need your help, one simple thing: access to your outposts.

I know that this won't be for free, so don't be afraid to contact us to discuss it.

Yours sincerly,

Tarkin
Agent Tarkin

'Mr. Takin.'

Before I discuss anything with you, I should make sure we're both on the same page. You do realise that we are pirates and that within this group there are people unlike myself, who would rather shoot first than have a cordial discussion?

While I have no inherent disdain for the people of Bretonia, I know there are some Brigands that do, and I know that not all Bretonians look upon the Gallic people with kind thoughts in mind. While I'm sure that we can work something out for you to dock safely inside the Champagne system, I'm afraid I cannot speak for the rest of the Brigands as they are not under my control. You might be able to work something out with the Brigands of Province as well for what its worth, and I should add that outsiders are always welcome at Montbard base in Burgundy - provided you bring credits or cargo to sell, and you're unarmed while roaming the station

At best, assuming we come to some form of agreement, I might be able to pull some strings to reduce the amount of harassment from Brigands you might get when using the stations which would allow for some quick repairs. Given my position, it's the best I can really offer.

Signed,

Mathieu Rousseau

Dear Mr. Rousseau,

I'm glad to hear from you and thank you for that advice. You should know that we are nothing more than pirates aswell, well, I suggest that we are for your king.

I will provide the given information to the rest of the SIS.

Contact us if you need something from us. I'm pretty sure that we can help. That's the least we can do to compensate your services.

Yours sincerly,

Tarkin
Agent Tarkin
