My name is Henry Corvin and i admit... quite some time has passed since I took over the seat as president of the Colonial Republic, yet I did not manage to get in touch with our beloved neighbours and friends, the IMG. For that, I apologise.

Still, with hope in my heart, I turn to you today for wondrous reasons. After careful debates between our government officials, we finally have a plan in place for the settlement of Planet Yuma. Long have we fought to create a new home for ourselves, but i believe that this may, at last, be what we were searching for.

With that in mind, I extend towards you an invitation as well as a request, not only to help us in this endeavor, but benefit from it. If you aid us in colonising Yuma, any unsettled disputes with regard to Pecos will end. Moreover, the Planet may in time become a trade hub, useful to the Guild, if not for others as well.

Understandably, much more needs to be discussed before we begin any joint venture, so that is why i hope we can discuss more, both here and in private if necessarily, so that we can start as swift as possible.

It gives me an immense pleasure to see that your answer is affirmative.

True, the situation on Pecos has been almost intolerable and thus it can not continue for long. The Colonials have endured enough of a hard lives as it is with the Gauls nearing our door-step, so the concept of a possible, much more fitting, place to actually call "home" is a dream for them. I, however, plan to make that dream a reality - and with your help, i am certain that we can make it happen.

Yuma - as you know - has always been a jewel of Coronado, except for it's rather inhospitable mainlands. After coming up with a plan to finish the Docking Ring that the DSE expedition began, as well as provide appropriate housing for Colonial citizens, without bearing in mind the aggressive flora, we decided that we can proceed into colonizing it.
In view of our plants problem, however, we have come to the conclusion that simple solutions simply do not work. Cutting down the plants cannot be done fast enough to slow down their regrowth process, as for fire-based weapons... the flora seems to be quite resilient. That being said, our next, most viable, option is to resort to biological weaponry. Still, the use of chemical compounds can be dangerous, so we have decided to contact Cryer Pharmaceuticals in hopes that their R&D division can come up with a suitable toxin, which would allow us to control the flora's expansion, while not affecting any other life forms or the planet's atmosphere for that matter.

Regarding your idea about mixing our R&D teams, I completely agree. I'll have a group ready to meet with your men and start working. They should focus, in my opinion, on working on the settling plans. Although our researchers have already prepared a "battle-plan", some improvements can surely be made. On the other hand, once we've contacted Cryer, I hope a team from their side will join ours in order to finish our "gardening" issue once and for all.

Meanwhile, our specialists have already compiled a list of priority supplies that need to be brought to Sabah before taken planet-side for the construction of the settlements. The Colonial Movers are already on the stand-by to start bringing in the supplies, although I hope some members of your Logistics department would like to help as well. Proper remuneration will of course be provided.
As soon as a stable channel is established for this purpose, I'll have your men receive a connection to it.

I believe this is all for now, but we shall keep in touch, Guildmaster.
Let us hope for the best from now on. So say we all!
