My name is Icarus Augustopolos and I am the General of a Corsair nation known as Custodi. We've had previous contact with Gallic corporations on several occasions, and the cooperation we enjoyed with the IDF previously[1][2] proved to be very successful for the small scale that it was.
A while ago we were in contact with the MRG[3] regarding the distribution of Cretan Artifacts and Xeno Relics to Gallia. We can offer you a profitable trading contract for these should you be interested, and Cretan traders offer good prices for imported food products and certain raw materials from Gallia.
I strongly hope for a fruitful relationship and await your response.
Yours faithfully,

Allow me to introduce myself as well. My name is Fleur du Soleil, and i am the representative of Ille-de-France shipping assigned to deal with the case. Excuse me for the late response.
However, let us get straight to business. While The Crown, in general, does not prohibit the distribution of Cretan Artifacts and Xeno Relics in it's sovereign space - the transite route will, most likely, go through Kusari. And, as you surely know, those goods here are illegal,
and that fact alone may threaten our collaboration at the very basic level - would be a shame if the shipments of your goods would never reach it's customers.
Power solution of the said problem we do not see as sufficient as well - needless sacrifices on both sides is not what we would like to achieve in case we reach the agreement that will fit both me - and you.
To put it blunt: we are open for cooperation regarding this deal, however, until the said issue is not covered up - there can be no positive answer. Come to think if you might have some connections inside Kusari that might allow you traverse your transport loaded with Artifacts and Xeno Relics safely through their territory without cargo loss.
I will be looking forward to your response.
As far as the Artifact transport route is concerned, we can provide you with starmaps of the relevant Omega systems connecting Omicron Gamma to the Dublin system in Bretonia. While the route may prove to be slightly longer, it entirely bypasses Kusari and leads straight through the Gallic-occupied Leeds and Taus to your core systems.
If that is your only concern about this contract, I hope it has been resolved and we can await IDF transports at Crete soon.
Yours sincerely,

If the opportunity of of slightly longer but safer route is present - i see no actual reason for us to just put it aside and try to constantly knock on one door without even a slight hope for the success. I believe, however, that we should review the route and make a 'test' convoy to pass through to see how much time it will take and if it will encounter any trouble during the traverse through Omega systems.
I will be looking forward to recieve more concrete data on the alternative route from you, then i will personally attend a review of this route to pave the way for our convoys and know about all the complications that might await us on our way.
I think the best course of action would be our ships escorting you from Leeds through to Omicron Gamma and back. We can arrange a meeting near the planet whenever it fits you.
Yours sincerely,

Such meeting can be arranged. I have recently arrived to planet Leeds and ready to meet you somewhere on neutral territory. State the time, date and location - and i will be there on time to clarify everything what haven't been discussed so far.
