Hello to Hessian movement. As i believe you noticed freeport 101 instalation in omega 15 sector, we think it is time that we establish some more direct relations.
We have been recently approached by ALG/Kruger coorporation officals with some bussines offers. there is one issue among other which we find important to consult with your movement.
ALG with Kruger subcontractors want to mine diamonds in mining field in sector c7c8.
After carefull discussion we concluded :
1. Omega 15 is independent system where Rheinland has no authority (except small portion near dresden jh) nor it have protectorial claims, so natural conclusion is that this offer is not obligatory for us to accept.
2. We are new faction in omega 15 so we cant act that those fields belongs to us and thus give authorisation to third parties. We recognize Hessians as those who have foremost right to be consulted with this issue, as you are miners, Rheinland faction , and mining field is in walker nebula which is naturall boundary of Rheinland factions zone of interests.
3, We dont take responsibility on ourselves of any unathorised mining of diamonds, nor will protect rheinland coorporations if they try to do so. We have directed them to use junker depot for ressuply if they wanna bring miners.
4. We are interested to work with hessian miners if they are willing to provide us with diamonds. If some situation occur that both rhainland companies and hessians come to mine diamonds , we will ask Kruger/Daumann to leave. However if you dont have interests in mining we will not stop them from doing so.
5. We offer you docking licences and some advantage over Kruger if you choose to work for us. Opportunity awaits for those who wanna use them.
6. We heard you have some redish diamonds. IF needed we can promote those in other Hauses to encourage people to buy them, but in some small promo quantities. We will not conduct commerciall hauling, but can promote it as some alternative commodity for collectors.
We hope that we have measured and correctly judged our position in omega 15 and awaiting your response. Keep in mind that we are freeport. We cant take sides , but can make relations with mutual benefit.
Awaiting your answers and ideas... ***message ends***
Red Hessian Army Oberkommando has no interest in considering an offer made by an
unknown third-party organization with no documented prior affiliation or ties to the
Volksrevolution, and furthermore, our mining division is operating at full capacity
on the Diamond fields located within Omega-11 system.
Instead, we have forwarded your transmission to an interested party.
However, we will still be monitoring this channel, so you'd better be thoughtful
of any offers and proposals you may decide to make anytime in future.
Thank you for your swift official response. We will keep in touch on this channel for some future issues. If we find in our system hessian pilots in open space in distress we will tractor pods and send you back when they recover. Consider this nothing related to Volksrevolution but as some good neibghour respect.

Thank you for sharing this channel with us, Major. Guten Abend, Herr Prescott.
So, Omega-15. The place where bloody hunters maintain their base and meet our patrols in bloody fights. The place where Rheinswehr loses their positions. The place where corsairs can be met more often than traders... There you have built your base. Good for you, it's right after our home, Dresden system. And you try to make a deal, so let's look what can you offer. Hmmm. I see. Uncut diamonds, blood diamonds... You may be a good exporter, but! We have enough of them. You'd better make a very good offer, if you understand what I mean. But don't think we're like some capitalist bastards, I'm just seeking ways to get more resources for Volksrevolution. Second. Omega-15 is some sort of battlefield, so any cooperation with corsairs, bounty hunters, Rheinland military and police forces and corporations is completely inacceptable and consequences won't make to wait them. If you can accept second, then tell us what are you ready to give for uncut diamonds, tons of them.
For now, farewell.

We met your "party" recently. We urge you to use neural net and not guns. Hessian untagged BS Fafnir and one more BS came along port and start shooting. They were not part of primary fleet and acting on their own threatening to blast base and firing upon it. They left after negotiations.
We will close eyes for this disrespect of Commanding staff among Hessians, regrading using guns instead of civilized correspondence probably without enve your knowledge MR Stanley.
Dispute is about docking rights to Daumann. We will temporary suspense their docking rights, but you have to have in mind that this is zoner instalation same as those in omicron theta and omega 41 which you use to run and hide after raids on corsairs home system.
You can prevent mining if it hurts you so much , but judging who can dock on our base can lead to reciprocity acts in our bases around. We will temporary comply with request of your unofficial bullie ragtag if i may be so bold.
Will redirect all docked dauman vessles to nearby junker depot. However we dont take responsibility for mining in system as no one would ever could. We will forbid miner ships to dock on our base. We will redirect them to junker base, if they dont like junkers , well not our problem.
Keep in mind that Red Hessians are first faction which we contacted, so we will hold Hessian word for most credible in this part of omegas. No need to send gunmans,

Fafnir, you say... More likely those forces were patrolling frontlines. I told you, Omega-15 is the battlefield. And no, there's the difference between your base and, say, in Omicron Theta. The less convenient place for your base could be only Omicron Gamma. That's why we do not want to see another base with opened bays for our enemies in the system where we have interest and where our comrades fight for the brighter future. Oh, and I never knew you want to provide DHC with docking rights... That sounds disappointing. You have to understand the simple thing: nobody can be neutral in such place as Omega-15. You can not and will not work with several sides there, so it seems you have to choose. Make it wisely and let us meet on this channel again with some deal already.
Have a nice day, Herr Prescott.
Good enough for us. Well this is better way of judging positions Mr. Tweedle, than Major Karl Leitner stated in first contact. But i suppose important issues are not to be expected to be run by military man. We will contact you directly in space when we see your ships . Then we can go to some quiet place too see what can be done.
This incident... not so important , as you say , war is up there , we taken that risk by our free will, such situations will be minimized if carefull and thoughtfull policies are conducted in future.
We consider outgoing of this talks who are rather i have to admit heavy and complicated still a succes. We known nothing about agenda of each others, now we are aware. For us that give us prospective to analyze situation from your point of angle. Some things maybe we approve some others maybe not, but awarness and knowledge will lead us forward.
Transmission established.
