Esteemed leaders of The Deterrence,

Greetings from the Space Port Federation [PMF], a pioneering entity dedicated to facilitating interstellar commerce and fostering peaceful cooperation across the galaxy. Our network of spaceports and trade routes serves as a beacon for traders, explorers, smugglers and innovators alike, ensuring the seamless exchange of goods, knowledge, and opportunity.

We take pride in our guiding principles:

• A commitment to neutrality, ensuring that trade is conducted free of conflict and prejudice.
  
• Advanced logistical systems, enabling the safe and efficient movement of goods across diverse territories.
  
• An unwavering respect for the sovereignty and customs of all civilizations with whom we engage.
  

As part of our mission to expand profitable and harmonious trade, we humbly request your permission to trade the unique artifacts from your planet. These treasures, imbued with astounding value, would not only enrich the galaxy but also provide significant economic benefits to both our peoples.

Our proposal includes:

• Establishing a transparent and secure trade system to ensure proper handling and distribution of artifacts.
  
• Strict compliance with Deterrence regulations to uphold the integrity of these assets.
  
• A fair distribution of trade profits to support local economic growth within your territory.
  

In return, the Space Port Federation [PMF] assures:

• Our vessels will strictly adhere to designated travel routes through Corsair Territory, avoiding engagement or disruption of your operations.
  
• Full respect for Deterrence’s sovereignty and customs during all interactions.
  
• Commitment to fostering a mutually beneficial relationship that strengthens economic and diplomatic ties.
  

We believe that peaceful collaboration is the cornerstone of prosperity. By granting this request, we can establish a partnership that promotes growth, cultural appreciation, and a shared vision of progress.

We look forward to your response and remain open to discussions to address any concerns or refinements needed for this agreement.

With respect and anticipation,
Alex King
Executive Director

Saludos Senor King,

Muchas gracias for reaching out to us, it is always a pleasure to meet traders that are interested in spreading our precious artifacts across the Sirius sector. Based on your message I assume your organization consists of independent freelancers, is this correct? It seems that you are big in making promises and having high principles. I hope you will actually uphold those values when it counts.

As this is our first interaction, I will be very careful to make any promises regarding protection from our side at this point. However, you have nothing to fear as long as you do not cross Corsair territory with foreign goods procured from our enemies, attack Corsair ships or fail to reply to incoming transmissions of Corsair pilots when approaching the Omegas and Omicrons. All Deterrents will be advised to treat you as a neutral trader, should you follow those rules. As you may understand I cannot guarentee your safety from other Corsair groups that do not report to me or for any of your operations outside of the Imperio.

Should you indeed only be interested in artifacts, I am sure that no Corsair will harm you unless you give them a good reason. If you follow our rules, I am certain you will become a rich man and we can establish a long and flourishing cooperation.

For the Glory of the Imperio!
Admiral Ruben Diaz
