I must extend an apology to you Herr Klugmann. After our meeting in Frankfurt several months ago which was cut short by the Rheinwehr I had meant to contact you sooner. The situation back home deteriorated greatly however and my eyes and ears were required there. While I still believe a lasting and fruitful partnership can be nurtured between our two peoples however, this is not why I'm contacting you.
We've received some disturbing reports of the situation in Omicron Delta from a trusted source, with one of our warships hiding in the dark matter clouds of Kepler to listen in on their talks between none other than the Republic, who may or may not be getting involved. We've been informed that Core assets have fired on Libertonian civilians supplying the station, and that Rheinland has thrown in with the Core. While this may not sound like our business with the Commonwealth being largely non-interventionalist, there's a catch; wherever there are Libertonians, there is Liberty. This brings me to my proposal.
If I had it my way I'd cease traffic of all Libertonian vessels to the outer rim in a heartbeat, but that's not my call. If Detroit Munitions, DSE, and USI vessels really are under fire out there, at the very least we need to investigate. That is why I am asking permission to base a fast response reconnaissance & space superiority wing out of Sigma 15. I'm unaware of exactly what assets you may have in the system, but it's more than clear from the density of your patrols and your defensive nature of that particular place upon my inquiry that you have some measure of facilities there. It was also made clear to me by our source that this system is host to a subspace link to Omicron Rho, which I can't imagine is doing you any favors either.
This wing would consist of four Prosecutor class fighters, piloted by members of our SAD division - Legion spec ops. I can assure you that we would not interfere with any party operations in the system, nor be detected launching from or docking with your bases in the system.
There's quite a bit I could offer in return, but truthfully I'm not sure what it is your movement needs. I am aware of the fact that you seem to be reliant upon others for ship production. If this is a technological hurdle rather than a matter of resources and manpower, I'd be glad to leave behind one of our fighters for you to pick over when we head home, or even send some of our men from R&D over to help you out.
I'd like to tell you to take your time, but that is the one thing neither of us have. I hope to hear from you as soon as possible. I hope we can come to an agreement sometime within the next 48 hours. As long as Libertonian men and women are dying, the Legion is failing at its purpose.
Lord Commander Samuel Locklear, Hellfire Legion.
