Guten Tag, Frau Fitzgerald. My name is Christiane Laurich and I´m kommissar from administrative department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei.
First I want to apologize for delay, there have been several issues lately which needed to be handled.
Now to your application. I´m afraid we can´t approve the intended location. First reason is that vicinity of planet Stuttgart is already area with high density of space traffic and we don´t wish to make situation even more complicated by adding another base to the crossroad, increasing risk of accident which would block this vital intersection.
Second reason is your plan to construct weapon platform or platforms. Our experience from past is that if any hostile will be moving in the area, the automatic defense system will start to fire all around and this can cause damage on nearby objects or passing ships, creating dangerous situations.
Understand, bitte, that we are talking about area which is vital for Rheinland economy as all trading and mining ships flying from direction of Omegas and Bretonia are passing it. For this reason, mentioned area is treated in special regime and only very trusted parties are allowed to put such powerful thing with considerable destruction potential and ability to create area supremacy - like weapon platform - in it. Rheinland can´t afford the risk of being cut off from resources from Omega-7 mining fields as well as all the goods from Bretonia if, for example, your base would be infiltrated by some criminals or terrorists and they would gain access to control of it´s weapons platforms.
I will finish my message with information that current standardized distant requirement for modular bases is at least ten kilometers from any nearest space traffic objects, with some small deviations allowed which are considered on case-by-case basis. You will have to review your plans with taking this condition into account.
I will await from you proposal of new location for your base.
