Getting in before expiry, very prudent of you. Of course, a better option than letting it run out and possibly incurring unnecessary fines. Everything is in order, and I've extended your licence by six months.

This is Hans Wesritter chief of the Kruger Minerals negotiating department.
We are adressing you with a small request for obtaining Tau trading licence for our company.
As you may know we are one of the leading Rheinland corporations with a curent atention on exporting goods thrue Bretonian space.
We hope our export activities will bring benefit both to the Rheinland and bretonia.
We are awaiting for your response...
I was surprised to only see this now, as I do remember being assured by two of your pilots that their travels to the Taus would be much smoother if their employers were to purchase such a permit. However, everything now appears to be in order and you have been granted a Tau Trading Licence.
We will of course be able to escort you to Harris and back, since most of your raw materials appear to be Silver headed that way. If you are headed for Kusari (if you were to choose not to take the route through the Sigmas), the route there is unfortunately rather Gallic and hostile for us to assist you.
In other news:
The Independent Miners Guild's Tau Trading Licence expired on May 12th.
Tereyo and Supernyl's Military Materials Licences expired on May 11th and 12th respectively.
My name is Robert d'Autoine, Head Councilor of the Commonwealth.
As suggested, I have approached this frequency with the desire of requesting a Tau Trading License for the Commonwealth, also owning the Identification of "CW|" on its ships.
I came forward to request this because of the fact that our pursuit of prosperity and our interests would sometimes encourage us to trade or bring commodities through Bretonia, and since we live in the upper Taus, we think it would be more convenient to avoid a regular tax or further complications.
As you may have guessed, we are a Zoner association. We formed shortly after the arrival in the Taus of some of our more... senior members which, alongside I, were originally Gaul Business men. We then embraced the Zoner culture and way of life as we grew fond of their ideology of freedom. Their traditions mixed with ours and thus, the Commonwealth was born.
I have taken the liberty of providing you data about our law status within Bretonia and our Reputation with Gallia in order to erase any possible doubts about our legitimacy. I do ask you to keep these information classified, s'il vous plait, as we don't want any third parties to obtain such information. Merci.
From: David Leroy To:Magnus Page Subject:Tau Trading License for Liberty Trade Shipping Encrypted:Low Priority:Medium
Good day sir,
First, allow me to present myself. My name is David Leroy and I'm the president of a small corporation, known as Liberty Trade Shipping. I will try to be very concise...
Liberty Trade Shipping corporation has origins in Liberty space, but our headquarter is located in Kusari. We know very well the relations between Bretonia and Kusari! To be very honest, we are not entirely agree with the restrictions imposed by authorities from Bretonia related to the freedom of trade with Kusari Empire, because we think that all these restrictions, affect the living standards of civilians from the both houses. But... we are only traders and of course, is not our competence to decide what is good for your peoples. One of our goals is to not be involved in the divergences between local authorities from Bretonia and Kusari Empire. It was just a personal opinion and should be treated as such is. Maybe in the future some of these things will be changed... or maybe not.
As we did previously in Kusari Empire, we will do it also in Bretonia: we will always try to respect local laws. Because we don't want as our vessels to be considered a kind of smugglers in your house, we will comply with decree of Home Secretary Sebastian Clarke and we decided to purchase a trading license for Liberty Trade Shipping, valid for Tau system. Not so long ago, some of our vessels were stopped by one officer of the Bretonian authorities, BPA)C.Ins|C.Renei[SRD], which informed my employees about the need to purchase such a license, of course after he asked first to be paid the Tau Tax, in accordance with "Bretonian Interstellar Law; 2.1 - Prohibition of Cargo Transported to the Tau Sytems". Was for the first time when my pilots heard about this tax and it is possible that their reaction to have been a little inappropriate. Please to accept our apologies if it was so...
Anyway, as I saw, is necessary also to inform you about our reputation with BAF and BPA, right ? I attached to this message all documents required, including the payment papers. I know... perhaps you'll be a little disappointed because we are only neutrals with BPA and BAF, but... this is our general position towards armed forces from the most houses, with exception of those from Rheinland. About our relations with Gallic Royal Navy, what can I say ? I already said that Liberty Trade Shipping prefer to remain neutral with the military authorities and this is valid including for Gallic Royal Navy, although, unfortunately, they do not treat us in the same way, as long they having a generally hostile attitude towards any libertonian, even if is a simple trader. It's good to know that we have no intention to cooperate with any faction or group from Gallia. But... on the other hand, Liberty Trade Shipping is trying to establish friendly relations with some corporations from Bretonia. Maybe this will count for you, when the decision about license will be taken and we hope to have fruitful collaborations in the future for the peoples from Bretonia and Liberty.
Oh... and one more small remark: as you can see, we have Interspace affiliation but we are not the same with the more well known corporation, called Interspace Commerce. I specified this because we want to be avoided any confusion.
We are at your disposal for any further details. Thank you!
As we discussed previously, the Commonwealth is perfectly eligible for a Tau Trading Licence and has thus been approved. Your transports will now be exempt from the Tau Tax for six months.
Mr. Leroy,
Being a subsidiary of Interspace and the images was all that we really needed to process this, but thank you for giving such a detailed description of your company. As someone who respects the laws, you'd be fine to pay the Tau Tax (which is not a punishment, to be clear) but your ships are covered for the next half-year. If you need escorting to Harris or anywhere else in Bretonia, our officers 'in the field' should be available from time to time.
As for the state of things with Kusari, perhaps things will change.

Greetings. This is an inquiry in regarding the status of my Military Material Licensing permit. Earlier today, I was stopped by a very helpful and friendly BPA representative who informed me that I needed to obtained a license to lawfully transport cargo that falls under MML. I thanked him and immediately paid 10 Million credits for a 6 month license. He informed me that I should check into your offices to verify my receipt of transaction. From what I have seen, I am still missing from the list if authorized independent MML haulers. I don't see my name. Is there another Bretonian agency I should be making inquiries to?
Cheers,
Nyressa
P.S. Oh yes, I forgot the gentleman's name but I'll contact you again when I get the chance to go back through my communication logs.
Your dedication to becoming fully licensed is admirable. I had just received the report from Chief Inspector Page and his copilots aboard the Buachaille, you will find yourself added to the correct lists now. If you require anything else from the Authority, do please let us know.
Have a pleasant evening.
I picked up a Junker named Ramble.On Id met in New Berlin on the way back from escorting the convoy with Marijuana, but since he only had small quantities, I told him that as long as it was for personal use it should be alright. Then I sold him a Tau Trade License for his Silver Ore Business.
I'll check tomorrow morning for IMG| TTL to be updated... not there yet.
Encrypted commlog for BPA verification is now available on request, but for privacy's sake of individual civillian parties also on other commlines please make a direct request for it if needed. Paid to BPA)Sndt|H.Nathan[SRD]
