I believe I can address your concerns about cooperation with the Xenos with a straightforward rhetorical question.
If the Xeno Alliance, despite years of deep-seated hostility, has refrained from assaulting our ships traversing their territory, even when those ships were laden with cargo for their adversaries, why, after numerous decades of fruitful collaboration, cannot the Liberty Rogues do the same in the times when the Xenos were our enemies?
Regarding my own vessel and your concerns about it being duplicated, I have seen Xeno ships, and I am not at all apprehensive that they could replicate something as sleek and magnificent as our Stortas. They would struggle to recreate our smaller ships - In terms of ship engineering, our sole competitors are the Corsairs, not sirians.
Concerning Robocultivars and new robotic workforce in general - I am currently collaborating with independent transport captains to secure commodities otherwise unavailable to us in near-industrial quantities. The reliability of these captains and their ability to fulfill their commitments remains to be seen, Don Chenzo. Presently, their task is to acquire Xenobiotic filters for my plantation's needs. We shall soon determine how it unfolds.
