'Ola dear amigos,

*Cough*

First and foremost, i would like, to apologize for my absence of late. As many of you Gaians have known, I have flown with you on several occasions in support of your operations against Gallia, but as of late I have been absence from the area. My actions angered some and irritated others and I was recalled back to Crete for discipline. Luckily, I only received a relatively light discipline.

For my troubles I've been charged by the elders to assist in expanding smuggling shipments into Kusari to counter the decrease in Hogosha and Farmer activity in the region. This is basically a way to keep me far away from the war and out of trouble, but there are those who share my distrust and concern about the Gallics and I have been given a potential golden opportunity in the form of Tau 31 and 29 and also problems.

To the point: I've heard rumors of a Gaian base in Tau 31. I am asking what supplies if any would that base require? Several of my routes take me though the area cutting back into Bretonia making a stop in Tau 31 entirely doable and potentially beneficial to all involved. Also, I humbly request docking privileges and permission for small combat craft to be staged at the base. I am willing to compensate the Gaian Gaurd for my combat crafts quarters, fuel, and etc.

Also, myself and my escort security forces are bared from engaging in the war, but no Corsair, not even the most skittish of the Elders would ever have a word to say against piracy... Especially in the Taus. Even if I land myself in hot water again, I still would be able to target all the Kusari and Rhienlander ships that pass though the area.

At this stage its just an idea. The logistics and certain politics need to be sussed out, navigated, and dealt with. That being said: with your help I just maybe be able to turn my idea into a full blown operation. I hope that we can come to an arrangement and look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Delfina "The Black Sails" Flores
