Greetings, arbiters.

As you're probably aware, the Natio has a number of interests in the Tau-44 system. One such interest is the reconstruction of a long-forgotten installation as a civilian colony. We are in the early stages of refitting it, and while the interior of the station is fully constructed, we will need some refined materials for turning some warehouses into civilian factories and hydroponics bays to make the station self-sufficient. We figure your organization has had experience with such rebuilds, and so we have a contract proposal for you.

We'd have you deliver directly to the station we're refitting, but, well, it has a few distinct problems that we're working on. But to make things easier and speedier for you, we have a storage bay rented on Freeport 10 that you can use to unload materials. We would like the following parts delivered to as soon as possible:

Goods: Basic Alloy Count: 10,000 Bonus: 2,000 credits/unit

Goods: High Temperature Alloy Count: 2,000 Bonus: 3,000 credits/unit

Goods: Manifolds Count: 5,000 Bonus: 4,000 credits/unit

Assuming you're interested in the contract, this is a total of 17,000 units of cargo delivered with a total bonus payout of 46 million credits.

Let us know.

Regards,
Harold Kane
Minister of Relations, Natio Octavarium
