My name is Kai Richter, director of security for ALG Waste Disposal.
In accordance with § 1 of Article 4 of the Rheinland Legal Codex, and by request of the Rheinland Federal Police, we are hereby sending the following request for the consideration of the Rheinland Bundestag, so the ship in question may be added to the Special Permission Ship Registry.
The specific request is for permission to operate the vessel described below within the Federal Republic of Rheinland, to fulfill the requirements of Rheinland Laws as described above.
To our knowledge their is no standardized form or registration procedure. We will be happy to provide any additional information if required.
Name of vessel: [ALG]-Erdbeben Ship type: IMGC-104D "Sagarmatha"-class Battlecruiser Builder: Singapore Shipyards Date laid down: none as of this time, vessel has not been launched Name of captain: none as of this time; nominally Kai Richter Owner: ALG Waste Disposal Affiliation: ALG Waste Disposal Reason for request: The vessel in question will be operated by ALG Waste Disposal's Security Division with the primary purpose of serving as a training facility for ALG Security. Its acquisition and operation are part of a recently initiated program by ALG Security to allow deployment of a select number of heavier vessels and the crews to operate them, to serve as a more enduring focal point and core of ALG Security operations.
The necessity of this was established by our security advisers due to the increasing number of hostile capital vessels. While previously the domain of outlaw powerhouses such as the Outcasts, Corsairs and of course the Red Hessians, such vessels are these days also fielded by lower-key unlawful organizations such as the Unioners and even the Landwirtrechtsbewegung.
As this trend shows no sign of reversing, we have concluded that a policy of expanding the capabilities of corporate security constitutes a worthwhile investment.
While our lack of crews familiar with the operation of larger combat vessels necessitates putting priority on training as the primary purpose of the vessel at this time, the eventual goal is for it to serve both as a mobile headquarters for ALG Security, as well as a strong deterrent against incursions of the aforementioned enemy capital vessels within the Federal Republic of Rheinland.
We also believe this program to be in the interests of the Rheinland Federal Police, reducing their workload within Rheinland, and the Rheinland Military, allowing them greater focus on fleet priorities such as the war in Dresden, as well as of course any corporate or independent civilian vessels active within our borders.
PRIORITY:High ENCRYPTION:High IDENTIFICATION:Laura Caspers, Staatssekretärin of the Bundeskabinett Sekretariat SOURCE:Bundeskanzleramt, Planet New Berlin SUBJECT:Re: Ship Permissions
Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter director Richter. My name is Laura Caspers and as staatssekretärin I was authorized by the government to reply to your message.
The Bundestag discussed your request and approved permission for use of one Sagarmatha class battlecruiser by the primary division of ALG Waste Disposal.
I don´t think it is necessary to remind you that government expects following the Rheinland laws by the crew of the cruiser at all times, so I will just remind you to not forget to register the ship in Special permission ships registry before first flight.
However there is one thing left. One of the members of security committee would like to know more about mentioned capital ships fielded by organizations like Unioners and LWB, because he was surprised that even these small groups are now equipped with ships of this class and huge firepower. It is really disturbing were his exact words.
Thus he would like to see what you have about it from encounters of ALG employees - reports, photos, scans and such. You can send it through this channel or separate one, I will forward it anyway.
Mit Freundlichen Grüßen,
Laura Caspers
