Subject: Hogosha Association Greetings
Konnichiwa, noble warriors and proud members of the Corsair Empire. My name is Tokiomi Katagawa, and I'm a representative of the Hogosha Association, currently the largest one working for the interests of the Hogosha.
It seems there has been some fault by part of our Association of not extending constant contacts with the ruling powers on the Corsair space. There have been some encounters on a smaller scale, but these have not endured further than some weeks.
So, once again I extend our greetings to the Corsair empire, and hope that our pilots meet your representatives in Planet Crete in the coming weeks.
---------------
With that said, I have a small request from one of our Associates.
It has come to my knowledge that one of our own is in possession of an Imperator class Gunboat, one that has been recently involved in a skirmish alongside the Corsair forces against our opposition in the Sigmas.
Now before I get to the point that our associate requested, it became evident to me that the Hogosha Association, or any of it's member syndicates, does not enjoy any sort of agreement in handling Corsair assets and tech.
For this purpose, the Hogosha Association would like to request a grant from the Corsair entities of 2 (two) Imperator class gunboats, including the one previously mentioned.
We are willing to deal with any procurement needs of materials for the second one, or any counter-terms required by you for the grant.
The second topic is concerning the Namazu, the gunboat we have currently. As your man can attest, the Hogosha were not successful in their role of defending his Farmer Alliance partner in the skirmish, nor your own transport that was forcefully neutralized by those Kusarian girls, and their Rheinlander collaborators.
Not only that, but the Namazu failed to return to Kusari unharmed, and we found its weapon systems severely crippled, and the frontal section of the shield emitters completely burned out by a torpedo hit.
We would like to get this repaired and operational again, but we both lack the native parts of the ship to replace, as well as there is still that question that may we keep operating the ship or not, according to your wishes.
Should it be repairable and usable, please inform us of how to proceed. If instead you wish to recover the vessel to the Corsair fleet, we can arrange for it's transfer to Omicron Gamma space.
Without further matters to discuss, I bid you farewell.
With fortitude and virtuous unity
Tokiomi Katagawa, The Hogosha Association.
