Konnichiwa,

Dears commanders, due to increased number of attacks from some various criminal groups, in special from a faction known as Artisan Farmers Alliance wich it seems that has as aim destruction of all vessels from our Transportation Division, Liberty Trade Shipping corporation has decided to increase security measures, in order to protect the lives of its employees. One of these measures is the acquisition of a new type of ships for our Security Division:

T-833-GB "Ahoudori" Kusari Explorer

As you know, in our try to improve security of our vessels, we had a similar initiative with a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, Hijikata-San, as Kaisho-ho of KNF, has denied then our request, under the pretext that Kusari Naval Forces do not tolerate groups wich may act as local police. We know very well what is stipulated in Kusari Legal Codex:

5-4 "Private police forces" are not recognized, condoned, nor desired.

And we are entirely agree with this point! But... Kusari Naval Forces must to understand that Kusari is constantly threatened by all kinds of terrorist groups. When our shipments are intercepted by them, in most cases, our vessels are badly damaged. It seems that these criminals use warships superior to those owned by our Security Dvision, and sometimes our pilots can not handle with this kind of situations. We have great respect for Kusari Naval Forces but often, it happens as your pilots to not be present in areas where these incidents occur. So... we need stronger ships for own protection!

We are traders... and we do not have intention to act as a local police! But we can not accept to see how our shipments are regularly intercepted by these criminals! We need your permission to can use T-833-GB "Ahoudori" Kusari Explorer, because we want to be able to defend the crews of our vessels, in their travels through Kusari space.

Arigato.

Best regards,
David Leroy
Liberty Trade Shipping

David Leroy of libetry trade and shipping – we have no issue with your group purchasing one or more Ahoudori.

Our objections are private police and security forces who are attempting to enforce our codex, or the laws of another house. This includes convoys comprised of mainly combatants or hunting parties.

What you are asking here is not the same as last time – Haven Security firm are not the same as a reasonable corporate escort. Please make sure that these Ahoudori are not fitted with cloaking technology. Arigatou.
May you find glory,
Kaishō-ho Mochizuki,
Kusari Naval Forces.

Greetings. My name is Francois DeVersailles. I am Liberty Trade Shipping's Chief Security Officer.
I sincerely thank you for authorizing us to use T-833-GB Adhouhori Gunboats. We are in great need of them to escort our convoys. We agree not to fit them with cloaking devices; we do not have any use for such devices. However, we will need to use equipment which may not be manufactured in Kusari; I hope that this is not a problem (the equipment in question is, or rather, are, Cerberus Gunboat turrets made in Rheinland and Battle Razors, manufactured at... wherever we are allowed to purchase them. Apart from criminal factions, of course.).
Merci Beaucoup.
Francois DeVersailles
Chief Security Officer of Liberty Trade Shipping.
