Orbital.

It would appear Vice-Minister Yamakazi grossly misunderstood the memo he received. I have taken the freedom to release him from his obligations as Vice-Minister. One mistake too many.

Further below you will find the exact requirements we will impose upon your request. These are not tied to the Stellar Codex and non-negotiable.

• Director Kamimura is to present his approval of such a project and an estimated timeframe for a slot within Yokohama's drydocks in written form. The construction of an Amaterasu-class is a slow progress and Yamakazi-san was correct regarding current and upcoming bulk orders demanding significant amounts of Yokohama's capacities. National concerns have priority over export business.
  
  
• Interspace Commence terminated several key insurance plans with Samura Industries and the Hogosha following the destruction of Roppongi. The Empire is currently weighing a potential legal battle with Interspace due to the baseless accusations of malicious negligence and conspiracy of alleged Samura and Hogosha elements with the terrorists responsible for the Roppongi catastrophe. One of these cancelled insurance plans includes the Golden Dragon and all currently operated Amaterasu-class vessels. We must assume that Interspace Commence acts out of nonsensical spite and cannot guarantee any potential vessel to receive insurance over the mere fact of its origin.
  
  Should Orbital Spa & Cruise be able to provide us with a confirmation from Interspace Commence that they will re-assess their stance on the Golden Dragon Casino and offer a potential Orbital operated Amaterasu-class an insurance package, we would be glad to pull a few strings to possibly remedy the negative effects of the first bullet point on your request.
  
  
• A last matter, an unofficial one which we may negotiate over. As a private shareholder of the Golden Dragon Casino, it is within my capabilities to reach out to business contacts tied to the tourism and entertainment industries. Should you truly succeed in convincing Interspace Commence to the negotiation table regarding the Golden Dragon, I will see to myself that your vessels entertainment segment receives only the finest personnel you could find within the Empire.
  

With utmost respect,
Ryuu Majima
