Negotiations with the Hellfire Legion are underway. I have taken the Red Serpent into Bretonia to test my theory on using its Interhouse license to aquire repair goods in order to restore it to a servicable condition. The gamble has paid off, and we are now awaiting reprogramming of the friend/foe transponder by our technicians in order to safely transport the ship to the Vespucci system.
The negotiations have paved the way for a black market H-fuel economy as well. We are able to seize regular shipments of fuel, and now have a place to funnel excess amounts in exchange for credits and use of larger facilities, relieving cargo capacity on several of our smaller stations at once.
I should also mention that our facility has recently been extended, including attaching a service and docking arm and expanding our living space and production facilities significantly. The station's reactor is now equivilent to a class 3 generator.
