Hail:
I haven't had the need to reach out to your lot ever, really. We've both had middlemen fixating commerce between Liberty and Rheinland - whoever they might be.
Now I see reason for that to change. Omega-55 (once a system deep within the Omega territories) has had its old links severed and new ones established. As it stands, Omega-55 serves as a direct link from the Omegas to Liberty. The only known links are: Omega-3/7 & Vespucci.
Our scouts have the links charted, and are willing to hand them over if we can come to terms on say - arms deals?
"Quite a surprise, to say the least. Given your history."
"I am Hemlocke, Hellhound of the Liberty Rogues, and current pack leader."
"My people were aware of the passage, though we did until this convenient moment had yet attempted mapping the passage. Our business in Rheinland has fallen relatively quiet the last few years. It seems you've come to correct that."
"You mentioned an arms deal, and I believe I know what you're going to say, though assumptions don't build strong foundations."

Hail:
If you know my history, you know I'm probably worth humoring at the least, it's not often I speak before I shoot.
It looks like anything larger than a Freighter won't survive the transit through Omega-55. I can start with ships, fighter weapons, bombers, & bomber weapons to be sold either at the Junker base in Omega-55 or wherever else you think it convenient. You could also make the effort to travel vice versa, but the Omegas are much more dangerous than empty independent systems.
Be weary as well, Omega-55 houses infested pilots. The hornets nest that was once in the system seems to have vanished for now, but there's no telling if they have another base lurking over there somewhere. If you start seeing drones, that likely means you're getting close to the hornets nest.
"I'm not an astronomer, but that sounds impossible. Yet you say that's what it is, and mentioned infested as well. So I suppose I must believe you. I never saw much of the system myself during my stay in the Hessians, I was stuck in the Hammen Hole. That's how I know your name."
"Forgive me, back to business."
"I will need a bit of clarification however in the realm of your request. Just to make sure there are no misunderstandings."
"What /exactly/ do you want from us in terms of weaponry and vessels."
"And of course, what are willing to give in return."

Hail:
If you were a Hessian I suppose that makes interpretation a bit more simple. It also means you know that the majority of the Omegas are no place to conduct trade.
Omega-55 is no exception, and given you don't have knowledge of it already - I think trading on your turf would be the better option.
The MK1 line has been put on the black market, or most of it. This consists of the Odin, Loki, & Thor models. What most on the black market don't have are Hessian weapons. Natterturms, Roter Blitzes are still goto weapons. Down the road, we can discuss shipping gunships and heavier weapons for them - respectively.
"It's no secret that Rogue engineering is eccentric, and confusing at the best of times. However most also realize that even though our.. "tech" is unorthodox, it still has quite a bite to it. The challenge that plagues us most often is finding a way to stop these items from overloading, melting down, or simply blowing up from the moment they're turned on or fired."
"Though the lattermost mention isn't as common as I made it sound."
"Shipping guns specifically through the corridor is a relatively simple task, it will require but a singular Mule that's decently guarded, assuming we can find our way. Though working with junkers has fallen out of style in my pack. I'll send some scouts to mark the way, I'll simply need your preferred location of delivery."
"However if you're more confident in navigating the corridor, then I see no reason why you couldn't simply take them directly to my abode, Alcatraz Depot."
"Either way matters little to me, onto the details."
"If you find yourself interested in our weapons, I'm sure you're aware that the Mollys of Dublin already enjoy our designs on occasion."
"The Tartarus Pulse Cannon, is a personal favorite of mine. The Sammael is of well deserved legendary status in the underworld, though some prefer its lesser known brother Belial, a slower cannon with a heftier punch, though it is quite.. "playful" with a powercore."
"A recent creation of my people is the "Abaddon", it's not seen tremendous use as of yet, though I have tested it myself and found that what it lacks in accuracy, it makes up for in disturbing deadliness. I suppose the easiest comparison to make is.. a giant Roter Blitz, mounted on a bomber. I'm fairly certain it's a particle cannon.. though don't quote me on that."
"I'm willing to trade these with you, for access to your laser and neutron cannons. The Tartarus and Abaddon are worth their weight in gold, and I expect you'll find them to your liking. I know the Corsairs certainly won't like them."
"I'll attach the specs below, so that you can make the decision yourself."
"Now to your brief mention of larger vessels."
"I do not find myself interested in Hessian gunships, nor your capital assets, such a thing is, well. Not economically viable so to say."
"However, I am certainly interested in acquiring the main line mark II variant of the Odin, in particular, over everything else, and find myself wondering what it would take to convince you to make that happen."
