Good day. Recently the Marauders have found themselves more and more traveling outside of the more frequented parts of Sirius and these ventures have repeatedly born fruit. The vast emptiness of the outer regions are laden with long forgotten wrecks and lost battlefields. Among the debris we frequently come into contact with ships manufactured by an organization you are quite familiar with. While these salvage operations do tend to net a rather decent sum in credits, lately we have grown more and more interested in returning these ships to working order.
Given Ravens past history with the Core I was hoping someone on your side might be able to help with this. If you feel this is doable the craft would be hauled to Invergordon to facilitate either repairs or disassembly if proven too damaged to be worth the effort. The secluded area as well as the presence of some of our best shipwrights make this an ideal location, though if you feel this location unsuitable I believe Thunder Bay Depot to be a reasonable second choice.
I am Venator Stacker, head of logistics for the Covenant. I've been tasked with ascertaining more details about the vessel or vessels you may be looking to salvage. It's important that the necessary resources are allocated for this kind of undertaking. To clarify further, we're more than happy to assist, but coordinating such things with little detail can be rather tedious for me.
The Inner Phalanx has a request in return. We are in the market for new assets quite often, and an idea had come to mind to source some new craft from the underground markets. One design that came to mind that was often readily available to the common scum and villainy of Rheinland is the RH-GM461 "Hel". The Inner Phalanx would like to request that the Marauders facilitate the purchase of one such craft on our behalf through any contacts that might be readily available to your organization in Rheinland.
I apologize for taking so long to get back to you, but I have not been idle. Unfortunately despite my efforts I am currently unable to find an organization simply willing to hand over such a vessel for credits. If you should still wish for us to help you obtain this craft I believe repairing a disabled ship to be a more fruitful endeavor. Assuming one can be found in relatively good condition it should be little effort to restore it to the state needed to reach Vieques or Invergordon for final repair.
On our side of things the vessels we are looking to salvage are primarily the smaller Core fighter craft along with the maintenance of three Core designed gunboats. The gunboat classed vessels are dated but currently still functioning and I would like to keep them that way. The smaller craft are likely to be just as dated and in not as good condition. I'm admittedly not an expert in the Omicron regions but I believe they'll likely have severe damage from Corsair, Order and Nomad weaponry as well as whatever the environment has done to them.
I have managed to make quite a bit of headway with this project recently, to the point where I currently have one of these vessels under my control. Assuming you were still interested in this exchange, I would however like to briefly renegotiate the terms. Once again however The Core of the deal remains the same, I wish to trade in exchange for Auxesian logistical support. On top of assistance in salvage operations I would also like to commission the construction of a number of vessels as well, of the same type. All materials will of course be provided, I only ask for the time and effort to put them to use.
Given the rather lengthy nature of this endeavor I will not take it personally should you have rethought your position, Sirius is after all a rapidly changing place. That is even more than usual lately. Should you still wish to go through with this the vessel will be turned over to you with no other strings attached.

We believe it is within our interest that we aim for something more... bold. The wars have opened up new avenues for 'treasure hunting' and analysing technology, coming to understand their composition. We're wondering the possibility of retrieving a larger husk present in graveyard, namely specimens like this:
There is another freshly spawned specimen in Tau 29 that we're interested in analysing and possibly taking back home, even if it is in pieces. We're only interested in the cruiser remaining mostly intact. I would like to offer you the opportunity of receiving any interesting data that we may come across when looking into these derelict vessels, I cannot guarantee what bounty we could find in these husks, but it could be from 80-400 volumes worth of scientific data. Useful for upgrading your vessels or simply selling off into the market for a big payday.
When considering the possibility of extracting these resources, we believe it may be possible to employ jump technology in this to reduce travel time significantly by setting up energy field stabilisers around the hull to hold the goods in place while it is ferried off into hyperspatial travel. Though there is risk of the goods getting damaged or some parts simply not within the containment field, and to ensure maximum success of making the jump, we will have to utilise two large ships. Traditional methods of ferrying parts is also an option.
However, concerning the Core vessels, I believe we can get some vessels up and running for you. Gunboats and fighter craft shouldn't be that difficult. What kind of logistical support are you interested in and how many vessels do you desire?

Basic patch-work is mostly finished, with only a few segments needing to be sealed in place. With that, the ship should be jump-capable, but not on its own. The quirk here is that the ship is dead in the water and will need another ship to pull it into a jump field, seeing as it suffered critical damage during the assault which has rendered its field generation abilities all but inert.
Additionally, and for safety reasons, we're working on a series of supports made out of iridium struts on the inside. These will act as a protective cage of sorts so that the battered hull does not cave in. I personally think it's possible to get the engines working again, but the location's a bit too hot and we've spent enough time working on this floating mass of attention.
Once the internal framework is done, you should be good to go. We'll be on stand-by to provide assistance on the other end of the jump, provided you need it of course.

Good to hear. It might be good to have a prepared group on the other side just in case. We'll have a ship in Inverness acting as a beacon.
A heads up, Ingenuus Research Group will assist with the whole hyperspace calcuation, optimisation and installation of jump technology onto the husk to ensure the field wraps around the vessel. A jump vessel will be there to initiate the jumping sequence to drag it along, as planned.
