To: Velvet Administrators, Livadia Ship Yard

[puppytaste]

Greetings friends,

I am Dirk Danger of the Zoner group, Phoenix. I have a request to make unto the skilled shipwrights of Livadia.

As I am sure you are all to intimately aware, while the Omicron's continue to be a hostile and difficult place to survive even the usually stable house sectors have one again become rife with warfare. Our group has found ourselves often having to operate our usual trade routes on the ever changing front lines of various conflicts. The famed diplomacy that kept our ZBT 'Whale' transports safe in prior more peaceful times is not enough anymore it seems.

Therefore, movement towards better armed and armored vessels is necessary in these troubled times. And when it comes to moving large quantities of the most valuable of cargo's with not only security but with unparalleled style, there is no other ship more well suited for this mission profile in my opinion then the Renzu Shipyards 'Shukensha' Class Liner.



I am seeking Livadia's aid in completing the retrofit of this ship into a heavy, front line capable tanker capable of having its primary hull hold liquefied Helium-3 gas when required to. My technicians and engineers have completed most other retrofit work at our orbital facility in Omicron Sigma including the reinforcement of outer hull armor and thrusters to specifications closer resembling a light capital ship. Weapon suite is installed and geared towards anti-snub point defense. Most of the internal 'luxuries' have been removed and disposed of, including the removal of pools, spas and all facilities not pertinent to crew required for operation in its new role. My technicians tell me that we will now need the services of a full service shipyard for removal of internal secondary bulkheads and installation of new primary bulkheads capable of retaining liquefied gasses at enterprise amounts, along with related equipment for the on and off loading of said gas and of course conversion of the existing life support systems to keep the gas in its super cold liquefied state in transport.

The ship pictured above, (\^/)Ganymede, has been positioned in a holding pattern in close orbit of the shipyard and is standing by for your instructions as to its assessment and hopefully commencement of the final phase of its retrofit.

Please respond to this message with any requests for funds for costs related to this project or specialized materials needed in this construction and accept my gratitude in advance.
