To the Government of Crete:
Greetings,
I am writing to enquire for permission to conduct a research operation in the Omega 41 system. My ship, the -=AE=-|Ganesha, would be operating from Freeport 5 and would be conducting research on the system's Neutron Star primary.
I am aware of the... delicacy of the political equation in the system, and wish to assure you that I am only interested in scanning the primary to gather gravitational data.
My ship is outfitted as follows:
Weapons:
Solaris Gunboat Turret *5
Fortress Countermeasure Dropper
Equipage:
Battleship Scanner
Capital Ship Thruster
Graviton Cruiser Shield
Heavy Armor MK IV
Hyperspace Survey Module Mk II
Research Corps *5
Survey Team *5
As you can see, she is not outfitted for combat, but, rather as a science ship. It is not my intention to conduct coordinate scans, and the ship is incapable of doing so without a tanker in support. I will not be bringing one with me as it is not required for my activities.
I look forward to your response.
With Regard, Charles Alestone
