Greetings noble officers,
I come before you with a humble request, for moral's sake, not monetary.

Too long has the secret slave trade been kept quiet and ignored. I know much of it, I was involved in it. However, after meeting hundreds of slaves during that time, I regret doing so and want to somewhat attone for my ways. I want to help as many of those being exploited as possible.

Now I have contacts within that industry, I can puchase the slave's lives and set them free. As you should be aware there is a minor facility in Omega 49 which rehabilitates slaves on a minor scale. With the Council of Zoner's approval I intend to build a Rehabilitation centre with potential to make a big affect on this evil trade.

Many Slaves have been institutionalised, they should be gradually helped back to a normally functioning life. Turning them over to the police in my opinion is unhealthy for their wellbeing.


The issue I have is with getting these slaves to the Rehabilitation Facility, as they are declared contraband.
The laws are in place to uphold morals and maintain order, our intentions are truly moral, and by removing slaves from this trade we are surely increasing the order in your prosperous nation.

I therefore request our ships be licensed to transport slaves, the journey is long and difficult as it is, with little monetary gain, without the law threatening us.
Our ships will have this callsign registered: ZAS (Zoners Abolishing Slavery)
This is how they shall be setup:
The pilots would purchase the slaves in Texas, they would then be loaded into cells on prison liners with few luxuries, they need to be deinstitutionalised gradually, so as not to shock or scare them with the unknown. They would then fly through New York, cruising by Planet Manhatten, so they can see the centre of Sirius before continuing.
The ships themselves would be equipped with cap ship armour, as one can never know when there might be a misunderstanding with the lawfuls. Also they would carry a maximum of 2500 slaves. The rest of the cargo space is occupied by oxygen, food, water, medicines, and fuel. Each ship would also require 200 staff, including guards, navigators, doctors, gunners, counsellors and carers.
These wages would need to be provided by the Zoners tax system, as would the items. The pilot's wages will be paid by the centre, 900 credits per slave, although, in turn that is funded by the Government.

I know that certain vessels have been licensed to carry artifacts in the past, exceptions to the law are available. I modestly request an exception, to free the exploited and abused. I ask for a license to transport slaves. If you would like any amendments or changes to the above please state them, I am willing to make any alterations, as long as they are for the benefit of our passengers.

Coriko out.
