I Notice no traffic in this system

Palomedes sighed there was no movement from what he could see on the planet.
He sat back on the bridge of his Iron Republic Mothership on his way to the match with Unity Prime.
"Hello People of Haephastom, the Iron Republic wishes to set up trade hubs to provide you gear at low low prices.
If no one replies we will assume all people have fled the planet. All you need do is reply and we can work out the specifics of a trade deal"

President Ragman was sitting on the bridge of the Saragosa Bombardier on his way to meet with the Eta Herculis Station, when he recieved the message forwarded from Palomedes. He quickly jotted down a reply.

"Sorry, we were a bit busy removing some IEDs left had been left in some of the machinery and looking to see what needed to be retooled. currently, all of the machines are set to produce IR equipment and ships. and while i do love a good proven design, i don't feel like dealing with the problems of copyright infringement.

Now, I see no problem with setting up a trade hub. The problem would be with what is being traded. Right now, we are set up to produce fine quality Iron Republic ships and weapons, being as all the machinery was left preprogrammed for that. But as i said, we are not authorized dealers for the affore mentioned products. If you have a suggestion on how we can solve these problems swiftly and without too much hassle, i am willing to listening as soon as i get back from a quick business trip. I am more thean willing to look into acquiring the rights to produce a version of the fine IR products that the machines are programmed for.

Have nice day and good luck with your duel.
signed President Ragman.

P.S. careful of Prime, he likes to use the Rathbone."

Looking to the Comms officer, Ragman says "Please send this off as soon as possible. i can't wait to hear his reply."

Sector General Palomedes preferred to heal the old fashion way, and was limited to limping around on a cane as his ankle healed.
He read the communication. He jotted down a reply.
"I can lease you the rights to produce civilian models of I.R. Craft. Given that you only sell it to nations within the Treaty of 2218. This includes. The Iron Republic, the Quall N'drone, the EEF of Refuge and the Draco Constellation and fort lendill. You can also sell it to Independent corporations for example IRLCs which can then move the vehicles and other gear to whomever they do business with.
The proper downloads and files are included with this letter to reconfigure the factory computers.
I will purchase your first shipment of 10 Cynos Frigates at Market value."

Data Disk Unlocks Schematics for Gunship Ultralight Frigate, Cynos Frigate, Standard Issue Railguns, Standard Issue Magna Rail and Civilian Spacesuits. All Starship's machcannons or advanced rail technology is replaced by standard issue magna rails, purposely design to be too light to take out other heavy frigates, but cut into the armor of pirate fleets. Of course end users could modify their vessels as they see fit. Palomedes knew his ten would immediately have the Magna rails replaced with Mach Cannons and maybe a Helios Cannon or two.

"Well, Sector General, I think that we can have that shipment ready for you by week's end so long as we run into no more IEDs. We hope to have several facilaties retooled to produce several items of fort lendill design as soon as my business partner gets back from business trip concerning an experiment he is working on.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

President Ragman"

"Mr. President,

We would be very interested in purchasing some of these Fort Lendill products.
What sorts of Fort Lendill products will you be producing?

Of course I cannot bulk purchase any products that are powered by illegal radiation like the Leyas.
That said old chap i may still purchase a few items for my personal use.

In that case I will pay a premium for discretion."

"Are Fort Lendill products for sale yet?"

"SectorGeneral,

Not yet. i apologize that this is a result of my business partner being bullied by the Trilat. I am currently trying to find a realatively peaceful solution to the arguement but the party involved are not communicating.

My current plan is to have them settle thier differences with a war game. I was actually thinking about contacting you to see if you would act as a impartial judge. i trust your honor and feel that you would be excellent in the role.

As soon as i get any response back from the involved parties, i will let you know.

apologies,
Ragman

It would be an honor to be a judge for such a tourney.

Now that the blockade is done. When will production begin?

Sir,

due to the recent disruptions, we have only been able to produce one finished ship to this time. I have recently upscaled the work force on the planet, so we hope to be up to speed on the production soon. I would have sent you the first ship already but we were under blockade. please feel free to stop by and pick up the first ship.

Ragman.

PS. it seem that at this time we will not be able to produce Fort Lendill tech at this time or in the near future.

Sorry to interrupt Mr. Doe,

At this speed we will barely be able to send a single Rugrat to school with our scholarship.
I will deploy 2 IR Production Centers for your use (ooc Admin pls set Industry boost)
These are to be used for sales items only please (not to enhance your own fleet)

With the blockade over and the new production equipment Hephaestom will be making loot.

Sector General Deer

The first Cynos is a loverly gal. I finished inspecting it moments ago and I am very pleased with your work.

There is another reason I am stopping by. I have a few mutual friends and enemies who have a lot of animosity over some recent disputes.

Not to name names quite yet, I desire to set up a combat as you have at the Battle City.

What are costs for such an endeavour?

Palomedes,

The current base fees are 1000 Gahz, That is to cover the pay for the technitians that run the broadcasting systems and remote cameras, and for the repair crews to do maintaince after each fight.

Additional fees can be added if people would like to choose some of our options. Our current list is:

1. Planting of IEDs and other EXplosives - 100 gahz

2. activation of Statonary Defenses- 100 gahz


We are looking to add more options in the future if you had any ideas we would gladly listen to them.

President,

I will pay you in full. Please also include both IEDs and Stationary towers.

I need this prepared immediately.

The two contestants will be Sector General Deer and Ar'yay HiveQueen.
The Prize will be the Pride of an Honorable Victory.

Sector General Palomedes

SectorGeneral,

We can have that ready for you in two days. The delay is to allow for the turrets to be tested and for the mitilia trainees to set the IEDs. Until they are done, there is a No Overflight Restriction on BattleCity. This is to make sure niether side has prior knowledge as to the location of the IEDs and some of the pop up turrets. Just to let you know after the last fight, several sections of the city are still radioactive. If this is going to be a problem, i can have teh sections marked off. This is up to you as without the markings it adds to the danger level.

We await your response as to when the combatants will be arriving. As before, we welcome your fleets during the event and have no problem with you provide space overwatch as it is members of your faction participating.

If you have any further questions or comments, feel free to contact me.

President Ragman
