While this may be your first time reaching out to us, it is not the first interaction between the Starfliers and the Guild—but that is beside the point. I am Albert Schulze, one of the Guildmasters of the Independent Miners Guild.

So, you are considering the Taus as a tertiary location to relocate your assets? To be honest, I can’t blame you, given how volatile Tau-23 has been since the Colony Wars. This system was the flashpoint for the war between Kusari and Bretonia, the starting ground of the Gallic invasion, and now remains a contested region bordering both Gallia and Kusari. With the Crown making another attempt to stake its claim—on top of the ever-present Outcasts and the locals from Orkney—instability is simply a fact of life here.

As you may know, the Guild has weathered these storms before and will continue to do so in the future. That said, I have a few questions for you, Mr. McKenzie. What exactly do you intend to study in Tau-23, and who stands to benefit from the Starfliers' research? Our competitors—GMS and BMM—have already encroached in the system, so I would like to understand where your interests align. If the Starfliers do decide to establish yourselves here, the Guild will expect that you will follow our guidelines.


You have mentioned some hoops in the Omegas, in my personal opinion they are a better location then the Taus but then I will need to know more to judge it properly.
