To: Bristol Construction and Manufacturing Subject: Ship Inquiry
Good day.
My name is Inaba Koshi and I serve as a transport pilot within The Omicron Supply Industries.
As you may know, OSI specializes in the transportation of high‑value cargo across the farthest and most dangerous regions of the Sirius sector. Lately, some of our pilots, myself included, have recognized the need for a more defensively capable transport vessel. Through our contacts and associates we have heard considerable praise regarding the Bulwark Heavy Explorer.
After consulting with our CEO, Bartholomew Kelsomagus, I have been granted approval to begin inquiries into the possibility of acquiring several of these ships.
Therefore, I kindly request that you provide documentation containing pricing and detailed specifications of the vessel, including offensive and defensive systems, propulsion units, and any other relevant technical information.
Sayonara.

Transport Pilot – Omicron Supply Industries
My name is Esme Blake, Chief of Operations for Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing.
It has come to my attention, through the operations of both our own vessels and Bristol partners in the Omicrons, that OSI is a supplier for Freeport 9. It has also come to my attention that this installation, despite being called a ‘Freeport’, is operating under Corsair IFF. While I do understand that the proximity to Omicron Gamma forces a degree of cooperation between yourself and the Corsairs, especially in light of the damage to that installation incurred by the Corsair boarding action against Freeport 9 and the Maltese attacks in the system, the fact that this Freeport is categorically not open to all vessels is worrisome to say the least.
Bristol rejects the providing of a base to their military operations, especially so close to Planet Pygar and Corfu Base. OSI’s enablement of this arrangement, through supply to Freeport 9 and the Corsairs as a whole, is in our opinion unacceptable. Joint administration of the installation, as is the current status, stands in direct contradiction to the Zoner method, but if it is the desire of the inhabitants, then I can give no judgement. Corsair IFF of the installation, on the other hand, is unacceptable.
Correction of this failing would be necessary for any future dealings. I understand that you are merely a transport pilot for this corporation, unable to alter the current direction of your company. Yet, as a Zoner I think it is within the capability for you to choose your fate and, in aligning with such a company as OSI who cooperation so closely and so willingly with the Corsairs, I think you bear some weight of the issue. This is Bristol C&M’s stance.
