To the License Directory Office,

We're most appreciative of the forthcoming support we have received from the Empire so far, and preliminary construction on the annex is now underway.
Even more so, we are grateful for the offer of investment - while there is no current liquidity problem, our creditors are understandably a little wary of such an involved and expensive restructuring plan.
Rather than a direct credit subsidy, we would be interested in the possibility of assisted scholarship programs. Our company itself does not have the outreach to proactively locate potential students, and our programs are admittedly out of financial reach for many of them. I'm sure there are many brilliant minds in small-town technical schools with the skills we seek but no way to even find, much less afford a course at our institution.
A program from the Ministry of Education to locate some of those minds and give them the opportunity for a term at our laboratories would be difficult to arrange for us, but a relatively minor effort for a governmental network, and would be a great boon not only to Ionic, but the future of Kusari academia, as well as giving reassurance to our credits in regards to the solidity and backing of the institution.

Thank you for your time.

Emily Furukawa
Chief Executive Officer
Ionic Incorporated

Esteemed representatives,

On behalf of The Core, I am requesting that our ships be allowed to enter the territory of the Empire of Kusari, or traverse it, with Azurite Gas obtained from Omicron Minor and with Xeno Relics excavated from the ruins on Planet Knossos, Omicron Pi. The Core has overtaken major steps in recent times to realign itself with the policies of The Great Houses and we hope that we will be able to fulfill any requests for rare resources that House Kusari may have in the future.

License Request

Applicant Identification: Luminary William Alexander, requesting on behalf of The Core
Applicant Affiliation: The Core
Ship Identification: The Core
Ship Class code: Freighter-class vessels; Transport-class vessels
Reason behind the license request: Azurite Gas will be hauled through Kusari to our customers or directly to Kusari installations as deemed necessary; Xeno Relics will be hauled through Kusari to our customers or directly to Kusari installations as deemed necessary.

In service of the Core.

-William Alexander
Luminary, The Core

Konnichiwa.

To the most honourable and illustrious Emperor and the Kusari Government:

On behalf of Samura Heavy Industries Resource Acquisition division, I petition for your consideration a request for a new facility located in Kyushu, in quadrant C3.

The purpose of this station, which we propose to name Miyazaki Refinery, will be for Niobium smelting and processing for eventual transportation and sale at Xuanming Trade Centre.

It is our sincere belief that this new venture will not only strengthen and grow Samura Heavy Industries itself, but that it will also serve to boost the materials and ore sector in our beloved Kusari.

As with our existing station in Shikoku, this newly proposed station will abide to the strictest health and safety standards.

As this commercial endeavour will provide employment for several hundred Kusarians in the immediate Kyushu locale we would kindly request a fee waiver as this project aligns with the Kusari state rebuilding efforts.

We humbly submit this request for your review.

Good Day Esteemed Officials of the License Directory Office

My name is Caitlyn Cross, I am the Chairwoman of Orbital Spa and Cruise. I hope you Might Remember me as we have Recently Acquired an Amaterasu Class Liner from our Friends at Samura. Today I am contacting you because we have noticed that even when we have already Acquired the vessel with the Blessing of the Economy, Industry & Finance Minister Ryuu Majima, we have Never Received the Apropriate License for the Registry. To Prevent Tragic Misunderstandings with the Members of the Kuari Law Enforcement and Navy we would like to Correct this Mistake. Therefore we would Like to Apply for Registry Today.

Furthermore, we would Like to also Apply for a General License to Use the C5a "Longhorn" Heavy Frigatte. We have decided to Retire several of our Old Bustard Liners that we have used over the Years for VIP and Valuble Goods Transport. These Specialized Longhorns were Carefully Modified by our Friends at Deep Space Engineering and offer all the luxury that the Old Bustard Liners had but in a More Compact Frame with an Improved Cargo Capacity. We see this ship as a good option for those who have Greater Security Needs than our Regular Customers. For this, We would Like to use the Longhorn. And while we dont Manufacture these Ships we have Plans to acquire more of these vessels. Therefore we would Like to ask for a General License for the Longhorn. We also opened our Recently Established License Registry So you always have an insight into all the Licenses that Orbital currently holds for our ships in the Houses of Sirius.

-- BROADCASTING MESSAGE -- To the licensing authorities of the Empire of Kusari, hello! I'm Elize Terblanche representing Caledonia Distributions, Limited, a subsidiary of Gateway Shipping. I'm here to submit two separate licensing requests, which I suppose will speak for themselves. Jump Drive Licensing Request Applicant Identification: Caledonia Distributions Ltd Applicant Affiliation: Gateway Shipping Ship Identification: CDL\\GSV-Drakensberg (serial number IND-BRI00028-K834) Ship Class code: "Bulwark" Bristol-Kress Heavy Explorer Jump Drive equipment used: Kishiro Technologies Jump Drive Series II Reason behind the license request: We have a business partnership with Ionic Inc in Shikoku. As a shipping corporation focused almost exclusively on providing premium services, especially including "just-in-time" deliveries such as those frequently required by Ionic Industries, a jump drive allows the Drakensberg to vastly cut down on transit times to maximize flexibility in delivery schedules according to the needs of our partners' businesses. Our current business activities wouldn't actually see the drive activated within Kusari's sovereign space except in case of mortal danger to our employees or their associates (such as that presented by terrorist threats). If our operations change such that there is a compelling business need to regularly use the drive within your sovereign space, we would of course inform you and request an extended permission for this use case. The jump drive in question is manufactured by Ionic Inc and receives regular maintenance checkups at Ionic Laboratories. We also have a contract with the Ionic University of Shikoku allowing graduate students, undergraduate students, and prospective majors in the hyperspatial sciences who are deliberating whether or not to enroll at IU Shikoku to observe the jump drive's function firsthand, and even take readings for their own studies, thus ensuring that our operation of the device continually helps further scientific advancement within Kusari. Base Licensing Request Applicant Identification: Caledonia Distributions Ltd Applicant Affiliation: Gateway Shipping Base Identification: Kanagawa Shipping Platform Base Affiliation: Gateway Shipping Base Location: Honshu — Sector E4, between Planet Honshu and the star. Additional Information: This undertaking represents a partnership with Kusari between us and Ionic Incorporated, as they are intended as the platform's main customers. We also intend to provide resale and local courier services for the entirety of Honshu with this installation, and have already made efforts to fulfill social responsibility obligations toward Kusari's people by proactively seeking to employ farmers and artisan craftspeople displaced by the terrible monsoons on Planet Kyushu as agricultural specialists aboard Kanagawa. It is Caledonia's sincere hope that our earnest dedication to ensuring all our activities within Kusari are to the mutual benefit of all its people, our employees, and our foreign customers and business partners is made apparent by these efforts. We look forward to a productive and friendly relationship with both the Imperial government and the local authorities of the Honshu System. Thank you for your time, and have an excellent day!

Miss Terblanche of Caledonia Distributions Ltd.

The Empire is pleased to see such delightful interest in cooperating with Kishiro Technologies, reaching as far as planning to set up an installation in a joint venture. However, due to recently resurfaced concerns regarding installations not operated directly by the Keiretsu - including a case requiring the attention of Criminal Affairs - this matter is outside of the License Directory Office's hands and needs to be addressed with the Ministry of Economy directly. We apologize for the additional paperwork and hope for your understanding. Please forward a direct request towards the Ministry in a separate communication channel.

On a less troubling note, everything appears to be in order regarding the license for the "CDL\\GSV-Drakensberg". The vessel will be included in the databank within the next business day.

Sincerely,
Ministry of Economy & Industry,
License Directory Office

Subject: License Request


To the License Directory Office,

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Arlo Wren, and I represent Wren Aerospace Technologies, a proud subsidiary of Samura Industries. We are writing to formally request the necessary license for the construction of a new space station in proximity to Planet Kyushu.

The proposed facility will consist of three key components: an advanced hydroponics facility, an advanced niobium refining unit, and a specialized division focused on the construction of avionics and propulsion systems. This advanced infrastructure will significantly enhance Kusari's capacity to produce vital resources, particularly those that are essential for both civilian and military operations.

In addition to supporting the Kusari economy by bolstering the supply of high-quality materials, the facility will also provide direct benefits to the Kusari Navy. The development of avionics and propulsion systems, along with the refining of niobium, will ensure a steady supply of cutting-edge components for military and defense applications, strengthening Kusari's technological edge.

We trust that this project will be viewed favorably, considering its long-term benefits to the Kusari people and their military forces. We look forward to your approval and are happy to provide any additional information or documentation required.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

With respect,
Arlo Wren

Wren Aerospace Technologies.

Your request has caught us amidst formulating an announcement regarding the temporary closure of the License Directory. Pending amendments to the Imperial Stellar Codex will affect our database, among these changes are drastic revisions to the formal fees tied to modular installations.

However, the Ministry is convinced that such bureaucratic processes should not have negative affects on Keiretsu subsidiaries and a few calls resulted in an immediate greenlighting of your project with a disregard to any monetary fees. Upon direct request of the Ministry of Agriculture, we forward merely two conditions to Wren Aerospace Technologies:

• All workers for the Hydroponics Facility are to be drafted from areas on Planet Kyushu hit the hardest during the flooding a few years ago.
  
• Wren Aerospace Technologies, as Samura subsidiary, will evaluate potential business avenues planetside aimed at assisting the struggling regions and their farmer population. There is no need to draft and present us with plans immediately.
  

We're certain these points are little but a minor hurdle for you and we're certain the Naval Forces will be pleased about your business endeavors too.

With utmost respect,
Chief Secretary Takaki

Dear Chief Secretary Takaki,

Thank you for your prompt and thoughtful response.

We are incredibly grateful for the Ministry's support in moving forward with our project despite the current changes. The conditions outlined are understood and will be fully embraced by our team as we continue to develop this important initiative. We also appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the recovery efforts on Planet Kyushu and look forward to exploring ways we can assist the local communities.

We are excited about the future possibilities and will ensure that we work in alignment with the Ministry’s vision.

With respect,
Arlo Wren
