As an independent freelancer, my primary goal is to establish a base to support my personal business ventures. This base will also serve as my residence in the sunlit region of Honshu, offering a favorable environment for addressing my Vitamin D deficiency.
Traders often arrive on Planet Honshu to sell their Gold Ore due to the competitive prices it offers. However, after completing their transactions, they typically travel through the Okinawa system to reach Iejima Station in Sigma-59, to buy Helium-3. My base aims to provide a more efficient solution for these traders. By purchasing Helium-3 directly from my facility on Honshu, they can bypass the need to visit both Okinawa and Sigma-59. This streamlined process allows them to save valuable time and resources while proceeding to their next destinations, such as Planet Pittsburgh in the New York system, to maximize their profits.
We thank you for your clarifying words. As you have surely noticed, individual business ventures conducted by small-scope unaffiliated entities such as yourself are not covered by the free development regulation.
Given the circumstances surrounding past projects striving for similar development and stimulus of trade flow near Planet Honshu and their untimely dismantling through geopolitical reasons, the standard fee for your installation sees a drastic discount as means by the Ministry to ensure this stimulus to flourish.
The estimated fee lies at 50.000.000 Sirius Credits to be wired to the neural-net account Anzen-1 .

Excuse me, but ‒ and please correct me if I'm wrong ‒ I thought that... according to the IMPERIAL STELLAR CODEX OF KUSARI , SECTION VI. Construction & Maintenance of Modular Installations, which states:
VI-5. The Following zones have been designated free development areas for bases owned and operated by foreign groups without ownership of any existing permanent base in their possession. Such groups are welcome to establish themselves in the following locations on the same plane as other bases free of charge:
In the vicinity of Deshima Station, Shikoku system.
Honshu system, in the area bounded by the following tradelanes: Planet Honshu <-> Akita Border Station; Akita Border Station <-> Aomori Station; Aomori Station <-> Planet Honshu.
So, because the location of my base falls within "the area bounded by the following tradelanes: Planet Honshu <-> Akita Border Station; Akita Border Station <-> Aomori Station; Aomori Station <-> Planet Honshu", I was under the impression that I would be exempt from any fees.

Ohayo gozaimasu,
I am contacting you on behalf of Med Force Enterprises, prompted by an in space meeting with one of your expertly captained vessels, [KNF]IKN-Niyodo. Where to submit this request has proved a little confusing as it does not meet your normal Special Licence categories.
Applicant Identification: Med Force Enterprises
Applicant Affiliation: Zoner
Ship Identification: [MFE] tagged vessels
Ship Class code: vessels designed to transport people
Projected main activities: As you are aware Zoners and affiliated organisations have fallen foul of the dominant forces within Liberty. As a consequence it is likely that ships of our organisation [MFE], Med Force Enterprises, will be mounting a humanitarian effort to supply help as needed. It is envisaged this will principally result in transferring citizens from the conflict out of Liberty territory and therefore through Kusari Space.
We would like to obtain your permission for this endeavour.
Ojama Shimashita, Jean Biche

You have described your business venture to be of an individual scale and nature. Therefore it would not fall under the term of a foreign group in this context.
It is your luck that the Minister caught up to this affair and provided the fee from his own pockets. We advice you to do your best to make this project flourish and should any supply-related needs arise, you might wish to choose contract Kishiro or Samura.
Sincerely, Ministry of Economy & Industry,

I trust this message finds you well. I am writing as a responsible operator of a registered modular installation within the sovereign space of the Empire of Kusari. As outlined in the Imperial Stellar Codex of Kusari, Section VI, it is a requirement that all bases incorporate the name tags of lawful Kusari Law Enforcement Agencies into their base administration computers.
I am committed to adhering to the established regulations and ensuring the safety and security of our base operations. In compliance with VI-3 of the Codex, I kindly request your assistance in providing me with the accurate and up-to-date name tags of the authorized Kusari Law Enforcement Agencies. This information will enable me to fulfill our obligations in accordance with the law.
As we prioritize cooperation and alignment with the Empire's laws, having access to the correct name tags will facilitate efficient communication and identification for any necessary enforcement activities.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Please provide the required name tags, and rest assured that we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of responsibility and compliance.
We're humbled by the great care and attention to regulations you bring forward. A quite rare and outstanding quality in recent times. Next to the general clearance for all State Police, Naval Forces and Office of Intelligence units, it is advisable to incorporate the [KNF] designation into your identification database to avoid any potential confusion or trouble.
Reflecting on the nature of your business venture, it might also be useful to ensure docking clearance for Keiretsu vessels with designations such as Kishiro|, Samura| or SRD], however this is not mandatory.

But we are a strong family, we regrouped our self and now we want to start again.
We want another permission to build a base here and we are looking forward to it.
From: MacRory's Irregulars To: Government of Kusari Point of origin: Freeport 6 Subject: Bustard and Jump Drive licence Encrpytion key: 8rv{ew
To whom it may concern,
MacRory's Irregulars would like to request a licence for a Bustard class ship, [>MRI<]Drake's Fortune, to traverse through Kusari's sovereign space. We do not plan to conduct any sort of operations with said ship in systems belonging to Kusari, the ship's area of operations will be in border words, but given the separated nature of these regions we might need to transit through Empire of Kusari when moving from one border word region to another. The ship will be eventualy equiped with Jump Drive device, which we would like to request a licence for too. This equipement wont be used inside Kusari's borders, except for extremely dire circumstances. The appropriate forms are attached to this message, the relevant fees will be promptly paid in case the requests will be granted.
Applicant Identification: MacRory's Irregulars
Applicant Affiliation: Freelancer
Ship Identification: [>MRI<]Drake's.Fortune
Ship Class code: Bustard Civillian Carrier
Reason behind the license request: The ships's purpose is to safeguard convoys of rare metals and other resources sourced from regions outside of house space. Given the nature of our contracts and the separated nature of border word regions, it might be necessary for said convoys to traverse systems belonging to Kusari Empire en route to their destination. The request was thus put in place to ensure the Carrier can stay with the convoys throughout their whole jurney.
Applicant Identification: MacRory's Irregulars
Applicant Affiliation: Freelancer
Ship Identification: [>MRI<]Drake's.Fortune
Ship Class code: Bustard Civillian Carrier
Jump Drive equipment used: Jump Drive Mk.IV
Reason behind the license request: The ships's purpose is to safeguard convoys of rare metals and other resources sourced from regions outside of house space. The Jump Drive's purpose is to provide a means of quick evacuation for the convoy in case of hostile encounters in independent or border systems. We do not expect the need to use the device inside Kusari space, the license was put in place to allow the ship to stay with the convoys when transfering through Kusari between two border word regions.
Your requests are deemed acceptable. The reasons provided are plenty to justify the need to traverse the Empire's space with such a vessel.
Please bear in mind that only acts of self-defense are permitted. Be informed that once you have obtained your Jump Drive, its usage in emergency situations falls under an act of self-defense too.
The Empire extends its gratitude for the interest shown in acquiring Kishiro licensed products by independent entrepreneurs such as yourselves and thank you for registering it prior to entering Kusari space for the Jump Drive's installment. This spares everyone involved some trouble.
Upon confirmation that the fee was paid, your vessel will be promptly added to the database.
Sincerely, Ministry of Economy & Industry,
