Honorable Bakuryō-chō taru Kaishō Nagata,
I thank you for your prompt reply. It is heartening to see that both of us can appreciate the opportunity for greater cooperation and friendship been our respective houses.

Trust is as valuable a commodity in the Rhein as it is in Kusari - and it is very reassuring to find that you value and guard yours as preciously and as jealously as we do.

As such, allow me to initiate the beginnings of our path to friendship by entrusting you with the means of acquiring the information that you wish of us. This channel may serve as a direct line from your office to mine, from which information can be shared, joint operations can be planned, and cooperation can be forged into something stronger.

We are also prepared to accept liaison officers to accompany BDM sorties into Liberty if you so wish. Having such officers on board BDM craft may serve as a very valuable means of attaining intimate knowledge of the Libertonians and our operations in Liberty first hand, while maintaining a case for plausible deniability which would be impossible to obtain while fielding Kusari ships directly.

On the topic of the requested arms, the ship in question is a 19-ARKM-N82 Mjolnir Super Heavy Fighter, flying under the call sign of BDM|U-101. The ship primarily serves as an advance scout and heavy escort for various assignments throughout Liberty, Rheinland, and the Omicrons. Naturally, due to the nature of our work in Liberty, enemy detection and scans are unavoidable - leading to the possibility of diplomatic inconveniences for Kusari. As such, use of Kusari based equipment on missions in Liberty would be limited only to those with explicit consent from your office. For the Rheinland and Omicron fronts, diplomatic fallout among the predominantly unlawful elements has been assessed to be unlikely, and therefore, a potentially acceptable region for deployment of Kusari based equipment.

Due to the highly modular nature of the Mjolnir, there are many standardized and custom loadouts available - a trait which we exploit to a great extent in the field to suit the variety of requirements stemming from the myriad of mission types we encounter. We hope to add the requested weapons to the options available to us - as projected figures from simulations would suggest them to be a highly effective set for point defense against intermediate to large craft.

Hardware compatibility tests have not yet been conducted on any level except conceptually, but can proceed if the necessary permissions are granted. Maintenance and replacement parts can be arranged for in a variety of ways that we may discuss in the future, however, it has been determined that an operational efficiency of approximately 91.4% with a 1.4% margin of error can be achieved.

With regards to the subject of Nomads, I'm sure that we can arrange for a transfer of advisers to share our respective progress in research.
