My name is Lord Ashdown, and I am the CEO of Sirius Interstellar Banking, an emerging company taking a prominent position in the financing of much of Sirius. The board of directors and I have discussed at length the possibility of opening a Liberty branch of SIB through the construction of our own establishment in your fine space, and your recent legislature regarding such construction has swayed the vote positively. Your monthly rates for the lease of space are more than reasonable, and we at SIB would like to pursue this project as quickly as possible.

This base will primarily act as a location from which we can offer our loaning and other financial services to the fine, lawful citizens of the Republic of Liberty. Here they may be able to meet some of our representatives in space to supplement any communications made between parties over neural networks. We are also considering having it serve as a trading hub of sorts, if only to bring in extra credits for SIB and for Liberty. Defenses are expected to be minimum, likely only a shield generator for the protection of our assets.

As a token of gratitude for considering the construction of our facility in your space, I would like to present you with a set of choices for where the SIB base may be constructed. They are listed in order from most to least desirable for us, but should the Government find any of the more desirable locations we present to be problematic, we urge you to choose the most favorable location for yourselves from among those we present.

Note: For all the listed locations, the base would be constructed at an approximately ~2-3K radius orbit, so that it does not interrupt trade lane traffic

1. In orbit of Planet Denver, Colorado
   
2. In orbit of Planet Gunnison, Colorado
   
3. In orbit of Planet Mojave, California
   
4. In orbit of Planet Los Angeles, California
   
5. In orbit of California Minor, California
   

Should none of these locations prove acceptable, we could also work with a base in orbit of Planet Curacao, Cortez.

While the base is under initial construction, we will likely provide docking permissions only to SIB proprietary supply vessels and, of course, primary fleet members of the Liberty Police, Navy, and Security Force. Once a reasonable amount of construction is complete, the base may be opened up to receive all sorts of lawful traffic.

If there are any problems with our proposal or if you need additional details regarding the location, purpose, or any other aspect of our base, SIB and myself will cooperate with you to the best of our abilities. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

This is indeed satisfactory. We shall begin construction in orbit of Planet Denver shortly, at which time we shall provide you with its name in full.

Expect the first payment on July 1st, to wherever you designate the credits should be sent.

Thank you for making this a quite simple process. I do not doubt that we made a good decision in choosing Liberty as the location for our inaugural branch.
