Bonjour mes amis.

Since the beginning of our resistance against the Gallic Crown, we have always had different technologies, which consisted of our own, Maquis, Brigand and all associated groups that fought for our cause, against the Gallic war machinery. Having different technologies gives you an tactical advantage on the field and in the war in general. Pilots have their own likes and dislikes in matters of technologies, so it would only be the best if we were able to offer them a wide variety of technologies to give them the best suited one.

So in short, we have a few pilots, two to be precise, that have a certain... amour for your ships. Therefore we would like to request two of your B-1290 "Templar" Bretonia Very Heavy Fighters. You would not only make these pilots happy, you would also help the war efforts, as they will be able to be more efficient in a ship they prefer more.

We of course would offer you our own technology as exchange. Let me know what exactly you wish, so we can come to an agreement.

That should be all.

Marcoux out.

Good day Colonel Marcoux

I'm sending you this message on behalf of the Admirality board. I'm not a diplomat, so I'll just jump to the point. *opens Piett's memo*
The Admirality board agrees to hand you two B-1290 fighters. We trust you know how to handle them, it'd be a shame to see them going to waste. They are tagged Very Heavy for a reason.
The Admirality is greatful to see our relations getting better and appreciates your desire to share technology, however we don't need any tech from at the moment. Just rip the frogs' butt!

I think that was all. *closes the memo*. Don't die out there.
Yours,
Comodore Jonathan Sinclair
