Good Afternoon,

My name is Kenji Ryuu, eldest son of the Ryuu Family and shipmaster of the Golden Phoenix Casino. As a loyal ally of the Hogosha, I come to you today with a proposition brimming with potential for mutual benefit and strategic advantage

As you know, the Golden Phoenix has long served as a beacon of Kusari hospitality and a major source of revenue for both Kusari and our allies. Recently, however, we've encountered a roadblock to our shared prosperity. Kusari and allied passenger traffic, once robust, has been diverted almost entirely to the Bretonian Luxury Liner Shetland in Newcastle.

Understandably, our presence remains unwelcome in Bretonia after the unfortunate incident...s.... This exclusion translates to lost bookings, dwindling revenue, and a tarnish on our collective prestige.

The Shetland stands as a symbol of their dominance, a constant reminder of our limitations. It must be dealt with.

However, attacking the Shetland directly under our banner would be a political blunder of substantial proportions. Liberty, a key destination for the Golden Phoenix, would recoil in dismay. We require a moreā€¦ nuanced approach.

This is where the Gaians step in. Their historical animosity towards Orbital, fueled by grievances aplenty, presents a perfect opportunity. With a strategic nudge and a small, but impactful, monetary incentive (namely, one million credits courtesy of the Ryuu family), we can steer the Gaians towards a "rectification" of Newcastle's orbital imbalance.

The benefits are mulifold:
  • The Shetland is eliminated as a competitor, diverting tourism from Bretonia and revitalizing our shared economic fortunes.
  • A clear message is sent to Bretonia: their space remains perilous, their dominance precarious.
  • The Hogosha Alliance remains clean in the eyes of Liberty and other crucial partners.

The question remains: is the Alliance ready to seize this opportunity?

We, the Ryuu family, are prepared to take the lead in negotiations with the Gaians. However, if the Alliance wishes to assume direct oversight, we stand ready to offer our full support and expertise.

This venture represents a chance to not only restore the Golden Phoenix's luster, but also to subtly reshape the power dynamics of the region. Let us move forward in concert, and watch our collective fortunes soar like a phoenix reborn.

With utmost respect and the promise of shared prosperity,

--Shipmaster Kenji Ryuu

Kon'nichiwa.

It is a pleasant sight to see other families set their sights on the Bretonian Kingdoms territory. It has been a few too many years since we extended our reach and put a stop to those trying to encroach onto our markets.

As we speak, I am sending a pack of my best men towards the Leeds system. They will undergo preparations to remind a group of Junkers that refusing the Hogosha is more than they handle. Our goal to create some chaos within Bretonia's backyard could be beneficial to your approach too, it would seem.

To be quite open with you, Ryuu-san - the Majima Family endorses your endeavor and we will wish you the best of luck, however we will not aid you in your negotiation efforts with the Gaians. Should you urgently require assistance, I suppose Nikkyo's Sera can free some time for you but I would not consider this granted if I were you.

R. Majima, Oyabun of the Majima Family.

Good Afternoon,

I wanted to provide a status update and bring to light a slightly troubling matter.

Firstly, negotiations have somewhat stalled due to the ongoing holidays, we remain optimistic that negotiations will resume in earnest upon the start of the new year. Secondly, while traveling through Shikoku, the Golden Phoenix Casino, a Kusari Corporate Vessel, was stopped by a Kusari Naval officer. Despite compliance with all legal regulations and cargo manifest transparency, the vessel was subjected to a 5,000 credit fine solely due to its affiliation with the Hogosha Corporation Entity.

We respectfully questioned the legality of this fine, citing the clear provisions of Section 5, which restricts Hogosha vessels only within Tohoku and Chugoku systems. The officer, however, acknowledged a lack of familiarity with the relevant laws before ultimately waiving the fine. While we appreciate the officer's eventual concession, this incident raises concerns about the potential for arbitrary and discriminatory practices against Kusari Corporate Vessels. Unimpeded trade and travel, particularly for vessels bearing the Hogosha mark, is essential for both our economic prosperity and the stability of the region.

We request that the Alliance reach out via unofficial channels to clarify the interpretation and application of the relevant laws regarding Hogosha vessels in the Shikoku system. Is there perhaps an outstanding investigation that warranted such open hostility?
