Its been awhile since any kind of formal contact between our groups has taken place and I thought it was time for that to change a bit.
Since the designs for the Z-line of transports hit the market our group has profited fairly well from them in two aspects, both their sale and also their usage.
With this in mind we would like to know what it would take for the Rogues to be willing to part with the rest of their ship designs, save their cruiser. While its design is as rugged and sturdy as the rest of the line, its size causes difficulties in its construction and in discretion.
If arrangements can be made we would like to start trial construction of certain ships of the Z-line, both to finetune our process of construction and to ensure there are no unforeseen issues that may arise. These ships would serve our own needs solely, unless the Rogues had need of them.

Well now. This is the first time I am approached by the Marauders, and I must say I like your name, Mr. Ivankov. Really I do. With that in mind, I would like for it to remain that way, where I get a message with the name Cash in my inbox and aren't forced to roll my eyes.
Now let us cut to the good bits. Since you are currently approaching me, I assume that the discarded Z-series ships that your group have no doubt salvaged are not that easy to copy, hmm? I mean, otherwise you wouldn't be sending me this message. To answer the most obvious question, yes- those crude and brute ships are still made by people of extreme experience, so we have made sure that they do not remain intact, even if abandoned. It would be wise to ask for those blueprints..., no, rather it would be more or less required if you want to produce them.
The Z-line transports were a success, because of their simplified nature. Not because you were given their blueprints. The rest of our ships are a tad more interesting on the inside, even if the outer shell says otherwise. What I am trying to say, by the way, is that just by giving you some data on inner workings of these scrap-boats will not magically allow you to construct them.
You will need a shipyard. A Rogue shipyard, that is. And, perhaps due to magic of karma or whatever you want to call it, I might have one being built. And I will then build ships on it. Many of them. See, there is a bit of a idea here, but for that, I would rather meet you in space to discuss things. So if you are indeed interested in watching your own mechanics try and fly our ships that you have built, book a ticket to Coronado next week. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
