I'm Wreckter, you know me and I know you.
I wanted to resume the discussion that I began during the patrol of one my AC member, in Kansas system. Now you know what's my project; in few words, restore the "Mercenary Era".
It's a long story that I will tell you. So far I put here our essentials informations. You can go to all avaiable links of the database to show all our potential that will increase.

Greetings Wreckter,
I was already expecting you to give us a shout via the comm channels to deepen the talks we had a while back. Couldn't say I'm surprised.
Now, I had a look into the files you linked me in your message, and read closely what your organization is all about. Gotta admit I never heard of all those companies you are listing there, but the reason for that presumably is that I've been born after the so called Nomad War, so how should I?
Recreating a so called "Mercenary Era" sounds very promising, I actually see something along those lines already coming our way, keeping in mind how House Navies struggle against outlaws these days, not to mention the conflicts rising in the Edge Worlds. Well organized mercenaries will be needed soon again, I'm sure about that.
However, and please excuse me if I'm too direct, I'm assailed in doubts whether the Auxelia Coalition currently possesses the tools and means to unite a majority of freelancers and mercenaries under their banner. Judging from your linked resources, you only have a long-term contract with DSE and nothing more. Could you please, if available, give us more examples with whom you work, or rather which factions you've so far remitted to your sub-groups?
Because as far as I can judge, there are not many contracts you currently have. If this statement of mine is false, please correct me. Otherwise, we would prefer working as an independent organization further. However, this doesn't mean that the Auxelia Coalition and we, the Forlorn Hope, couldn't work together in the future, on different terms.
Yours sincerely, Elena Voigt,
Knight Captain
The Forlorn Hope
The "Auxilia Coalition" (Not Auxelia, please. They confused us many times with another faction called "Auxesia") is a project that must be still achieved. The sub-faction groups so far doesn't exist! But with the spreading of our voice on all Sirius to all mercenaries they will be re-created. As I told it's a project started from less time, so the only long-term contract we managed to make is that with the DSE. Before this we made other short-term contracts with them too and one for the BAF forces in a Bretonia/Corsairs skirmish fight in Omega-3. This would be enough for a project created from 1 year. If this is not enough for yours, I can promise you that our contracts will increase when possible. Our mercenaries, so far have the complete freedom to select and make their own short-term contracts within DSE and allies positive relations.

You got my attention, Wreckter.
Excuse that faux pas of mine. Actually I should have known how to spell it, given the fact I learnt Latin at school for several years. We are however in no way confusing or comparing you with Auxesia, as you two seem to be two completely different subjects.
I'm going to be honest with you, we would rather wish to stay independent for the time being. Your goal is an honorable one, uniting all mercenaries in a time when they are needed as much as never before, but we prefer having a certain kind of flexibility on how we manage things.
That being said though, we wonder if there's any other way how we could cooperate in the future, helping each other out. Mercenaries usually accept contracts rather than offering them, I know, but I guess there will be opportunities when one of us could use the other's help.
What do you say about this? If you got own ideas, feel free to forward them to me.
Yours sincerely, Elena Voigt,

What I ask you for is not an union to a single mercenary group but, indeed, a collaboration. A mercenary group under the Auxilia Coalition is not a submissed faction but indeed an independent faction with their rules that cooperate with the Auxilia Coalition and gains a place to our mercenary council. What we offer you is not a submission, but a cooperation.

Greetings again.
In a certain way, you are contradicting yourself in your statements. On one hand, you are offering us collaboration, not a submission, but in the same breath, you use the term "under the Auxilia Coalition".
Let's get things straight. We are always open for collaboration with other factions, but what we are not looking for in -any way- is losing our independence, as it is a commodity that is already limited enough when being in an coordinated group of mercenaries instead of working on one's own.
Of what sort of collaboration have you thought anyways?
Yours sincerely, Elena Voigt,

I knew that this thing would was difficult to explain it. In few words I wanted to just say that what the Auxilia Coalition will be is a Mercenary Council. All mercenary "under" (And here I set quotation marks because it's not a submission like I said before) the Auxilia Coalition have a single thing in common: A place to the Mercenary Council reunions. The Mercenary council, before the Nomad war was a place to talk about things that the Mercenary groups had in common: Money, progress and service. Every group had a spokeman with maxinum 100 members to seat in the reunions. For the rest, mercenary groups were free to make their own contracts, have their internal group policies and to make contract with factions against other mercenary group within the Auxilia Coalition too. According to me you shouldn't lose anything about the independence. In case it would happen, tell me immediately where should we resolve.

Greetings again.
Please excuse the slight delay, I was unfortunately busy attending various meetings that consumed my time.
This all sounds nice, however in the meantime I could also think a bit more about the details of what you told me about the Auxilia Coalition. The concept sounds interesting and all, but I'm actually questioning its long-term use. What would it help to a big mercenary council discussing matters? If all mercenaries were united, in fact the whole business market would collapse, as competition has always been one of the most important factors for growth.
These are my most basic thoughts on this.
Yours sincerely, Elena Voigt,

There's no need to worry about the business market because all what a single mercenary groups can earn from the contracts belongs to them, money included. The Auxilia Coalition, the Mercenary Council has a own treasury too. This, first of all can be filled by mercenary groups' donations and then can be used to finance the other ones or new mercenary groups founded within the Auxilia Coalition. Then we could discuss in the future about this thing when our name will be spread mostly in all Sirius.
