Dear Señor Venk,
Thank you for your quick reply.
We understand your situation with the Enclave. However, even if there are numerous vessels belonging to them flying through the system, Tau-23 doesn't belong to the Gallics, but to the Maltese Coalición.
We don't mind you building your station here, or more like developping it. However, as it is the case with every group that doesn't belong to the Maltese families, a monthly payment of 50 million S.C. will be asked from you.
As you said, your station will have as primary purpose to store Niobium Ore, so we believe that this small tax will not have a significant impact on your activity. We expect the payment for tomorrow, to be precise before 21:00 on the 21st of August, 827 A.S., payable to the following account: -|-Treasury.
We also would like to ask you to forget about assembling and installing weapon platforms around Ikarus Storage Facility, if this idea crossed your mind.
The Maltese Coalición aknowledges the dangers you and your crew are facing, and we are incline to assist you to the defense of your base. However, we refuse to see such infrastructure being deployed within our space. To ensure your protection though, we will require a full access and docking rights to your station.
I sincerely hope you understand that this contract is non-negociable, and our stance on the matter. I really expect this to be the first stone setting a profitable relationship between the Junkers and us in the Taus, as it has always been the case with your friends in Liberty.
Atentamente,
Julio Sibila.
