I am pleased to hear that even the Hispania Imperial is interested in this venture as Signora Amelia was not very inclined for it at the time when I published my report.

Nevertheless, Signor Piacentini, there is an issue with logistics while keeping this fledging trade route secret from the other parties in Liberty, at least for now.

In order to flesh out all the potential issues we might face, I would need the best freighter pilots you can spare as they will have to improvise a lot in these very beginnings. That should help us to streamline the new route faster and shake off potential pursuers.

Freighters will be our only options for a quite some time, given the fact how crowded and awfully busy Taus can be these days - we need to evade Bretonian, Kusarian, Gallic and even Crayterian patrols while running our secondary highway, the larger transports would only be a liability.

Also, Signor Piacentini, our new intermediaries were rather poor during all those years and their general lack of proper infrastructure would render any heavier transports unsuitable for the task.
Freighters will have an added benefit of more flexible and adaptable cargo operations as they can be dispatched from and serviced at almost any base available to us.

Two freighters with proper escorts would do nicely, Signor Piacentini. While I have already procured and prepared three similar convoys already, the fourth one would be welcome for additional cargo volume and redundancy. The scouts are already mapping up the new corridors as we speak.

The planned final destination for our shipments is the Xeno base in Colorado, although I doubt that it will be ready in sufficient capacity by Friday, Signor Piacentini. Fontana Freeport in California, loosely affiliated with the Xenos, will do sufficiently for these few first deliveries as a 'buffer' storage depot.

I will be knowing for certain by Thursday.
