Liberty corporations, lawfuls, unlawfuls - The Yellow Brick Road | Jun 22, 7PM UTC

With refining ops underway in Cortez, Ontario ventures deemed "too risky", and Galileo still reeling from the recent Platinum rush, DSE investors and shareholders have spent countless days debating the company's next major vision. Any project chosen for this enduring honor should have major pay-offs associated with it, but also require substantial resources not available to just any small group with a large bank account.

The answer came out of a closer reading of recent casualty and refugee reports within Liberty. With Pennsylvania pacified and the Insurgency essentially eliminated, a new frontier ripe for exploitation is starting to form on the southern reaches of Liberty space. With only the odd junker and intrepid explorer being found on scene alongside with OS&C high-rollers, a concentrated effort to explore and secure Kansas and Vespucci should pay serious dividends.

As with any other venture, logistical support is critical to getting operations off to a good start. Partnering with the foremost leaders of heavy-duty hauling such as Universal Shipping and Interspace Commerce, DSE is ensuring that the first phase of the overall initiative will proceed as smoothly as possible. With a warehouse space in Erie orbit in the process of being secured, it's only a matter of moving the goods from point A to point B. Simple, assuming the total disinterest of criminals who thrive on hitting "soft" convoys, and there's a "fat chance' of that, as the security reps like to say. And a betting man would do well to listen to the grizzled old-timers.

Nope, just show up and cause havoc.

Little bit concerned that unlawfuls will massively outnumber lawfuls and/or divebomb transports, but regardless I'm sure it'll be fun.

I boosted the transportation profits by 10 SC. The first convoy will start at Planet Pittsburgh.

I will throw my BHG hammerhead in as an escort, Bessie-"Bison"-Bishop
Which will be somewhat amusing if the convoy is using bisons, go figure.

Just a reminder to people that the first convoy is still planned tomorrow for 9pm UTC. I'm hoping for an interesting passage through Liberty.
