Incoming Transmission from Andover Station, Cambridge
To: Orbital Spa and Cruise Priority: High Topic: Sponsorship
Message Contents:
I was recently browsing through the neural net when I came across an article online. "First Annual Rally Championship" it said. I decided to give it a good read and it really peaked my interest so I showed it to my team. Forgive me. I should introduce myself first. My name is Peter Hudson and I am a Trade Supervisor for Borderworld Exports and the current Administrator of Andover Station in the Cambridge system. I, and many others at Borderworld Exports, have had very pleasant encounters with your company be it through local ship to ship communications or employees taking a vacation aboard your vessels. In fact one of your employees recently saved me and my crew from a terrifying encounter with a Corsair. I sent him a thank you message not so long ago and I am forever grateful about what he did.
Anyway, Andover Station has done quite well recently and thus me and my senior team at Andover would like to sponsor two of the legs, specifically the two Bretonia stages.Stage two and stage seven. What do you say? If this peaks your interest let me know and we can arrange something.
I look forward to hearing your response.

Mr. Hudson,
We are pleased at your inquiry regarding Sponsorship of the rally stages. Currently Orbital offers the following Rally Sponsorship Levels.
"Stage Title Sponsor" - 200 million credits per stage
As the stage entitlement sponsor, you'll benefit from having your name directly attached to the most popular form of racing in Sirius. As the title sponsor of the top series in Orbital, you'll gain tremendous brand exposure and loyalty from the sport’s fan base.
"Team Sponsor" - 100 million credits for all 8 stages or 14 million per stage
Sponsoring an Orbital race team is very similar to the same sponsorship in more traditional “stick and ball” sports, where you have rights to use the logos of the team and are an “Official Partner” of the team.
Race team sponsors are the companies and the brands that you see on the racers at every race. No other point of entry in Orbital sponsorship allows access to the fighter branding. With a race team sponsorship, you are forward-facing to the race fans and gain visibility like no other opportunity in team sports. All team assets, including the fighter, are branded. This list includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the driver, driver/crew fire suits, freighter hauler, race equipment, social media/PR support and content production.
"League Sponsor" - 50 million credits
Sponsorship at the league level does not provide direct access to teams or drivers. Instead, it allows companies the opportunity to associate their brand with the Orbital Racing logo and use “Official Partner of Orbital Racing” in their branding/messaging. This level of sponsorship usually includes items such as "The Official Drink of Orbital Racing, Cherry Liberty Ale" and so on.
Please let me know if there are any questions. Also be aware currently we are only able to offer sponsorship levels for Stage 2 as we are still in the provisional planning of Stage 7. Once Sponsorship opens up for Stage 7 Orbital will happily reach out to Borderworld Exports for further Sponsorship of our Rally Series.
Regards,
James Blackwood

Mr Blackwood,
Thank you for your response. I can completely understand your reasoning for stage 7. I can imagine that a lot of time and effort has to go into planning an event like this, especially with such magnitude. However I can't imagine dealing with the local authorities would be any fun. Stage 2 is fine. After some deliberation us at Andover Station would like to choose the "Stage Title Sponsor" package as we feel this would best represent Borderworld Exports and Andover Station.
That being said we feel like we could offer more to help Orbital Spa and Cruise out. As I mentioned earlier we look upon your company with high regards so we'd like to offer a slight change to the "Stage Title Sponsor" package that will hopefully interest you. We would like to offer the following terms:
What we offer:
__
•__200,000,000 SC, paid by Andover Station, paid directly into the Orbital Spa and Cruise bank account •__100,000,000 SC, paid by Andover Station, to be added to the Grand Prize fund •__25,000,000 SC, paid by Andover Station, to be added to each and all other prize funds •__Accommodation for all law-abiding race participants on Andover Station - Includes free meals, drinks and quality rooms •__Two large rooms for Orbital Spa and Cruise personnel to conduct their co-ordination of the event
__
In Return we'd like:
__
•__Borderworld Exports Advertisement throughout Stage 2 of the race •__25% exclusive discount for all Borderworld Exports employees that book a vacation with your company
__
So what do you say?

Mr. Hudson,
After further review of your proposal Orbital is prepared to confirm the following,
__
•__200,000,000 SC, paid by Andover Station, paid directly into the Orbital Spar and Cruise bank account •__100,000,000 SC, paid by Andover Station, to be added to the Grand Prize fund •__25,000,000 SC, paid by Andover Station, to be added to each and all other prize funds •__Accommodation for all law-abiding race participants on Andover Station - Includes free meals, drinks and quality rooms •__Two large rooms for Orbital Spar and Cruise personnel to conduct their co-ordination of the event •__Borderworld Exports Advertisement throughout Stage 2 of the race
__
We wish to amend the following,
• 25% exclusive discount for all Borderworld Exports employees that book a vacation with your company
To,
• 30% exclusive discount for all Borderworld Exports employees on our Bretiona and Liberty Routes, 10% for our other Routes.
Given the developing situation with the Rhineland Civil war and Kusari's offensive into Gallia. OS&C is unable to offer such a steep discount to these sectors in light of these security issues. However trade, and more importantly to Orbital, passenger traffic between Bretiona and Liberty remain at an all time high and we would be happy to provide a steeper discount on these routes.
Regards,
James Blackwood
