You reds have decided to infest marked Core territory with your twisted ideology; in a shocking turn of events the laziness of Communism has managed to spur some creativity and construction of a modular installation under our noses. I could simply blast it out of orbit immediately, I'd like to, but I can think of an alternative proposal...
Forward a payment of 100 million credits to Core|Imperium each month, and refrain from operations against Core in the Omicrons, and we will let your installation live as long as this agreement is kept to.

Greetings, I am Gregor Tykovkin, the appointed commandant of the Rostok station.
Before I agree to this option, I want to clarify one moment with you.
The Rostok, a formerly scientific station, was devastated for a long time after the evacuation of scientific personnel, equipment and was abandoned with a minimal crew, gradually collapsing.
I was appointed here without any specific purpose, part of the staff after the events that happened here long before me also did not have the opportunity to get a new task or to be evacuated.
I'm not trying to make you feel sad, I just want you to understand this because of their views and even just because of the existence of some of them, they were forgotten and left to their fate.
Even this attempt to find a solution to this problem with you not by military means will not please the Coalition government.
I try to make a place for people regardless of their views, and I definitely do not want to turn everything here into another military base or graveyard.
Only a few small ships for the defense are currently located on our base, and if you want to know about cruisers or bigger ships I can say that they cannot receive full support from us and therefore we cannot be the starting point for the shock fleets.
All cruisers that sometimes visited the Rostok enter the omicrons for their goals which I could not prevent.
My authority allows me to command only ships assigned to Rostok.
I can promise and do everything so that Rostock will remain a neutral civilian object and avoid participation in military operations.
However, if the leadership of the Coalition decides to make operations against Core in the Omicrons for some reason, I will not be able to stop them.
But if I receive information about such operations, I can notify you so that you can avoid losses from a sudden blow.
I understand that I am not in the position to set the conditions, but I hope that this option suits you, of course, I am ready to make payments to you to ensure our neutrality.
I and the station population will be waiting for your decision.
If you keep your own people out of our way - that means being transparent about what you're doing in Chi in the first place - and keep the payments coming, we'll let the station live. It's as easy as that. I couldn't care less about the semantics, backstory or your indifferences with the greater Coalition. I'm giving you an opportunity here. Take the deal.
There are some difficulties with your bank account.
SCEC, although pulled back from the management of the station, however, they monitor some things, one of which is an identification system to protect the station.
I’m sure that the risk when you need to fight near the Rostock station is minimal, since from a military point of view it would be much more efficient to intercept Coalition’s ships before Chi when they in Kappa system, because the Chi system is full of radiation, interference to the scanners and rocks who greatly reduces the efficiency of even small ships.
