Subject: Bonuses for cargo delivery


Good day, transport captains.

The Board has decided to offer bonuses for transports carrying particular materials to specific bases/planets/outposts. Note that these bonuses are for those captains who have taken ownership of their transport from Planetform. If you are flying a transport on lease from Planetform, these bonuses are not applicable to you.

Bonuses:

PLANET HARRIS:
Planet Harris is located in the Tau 31 system, which is currently controlled by Gallic Royal Navy. While the GRN is expressly hostile to us, they have chosen to bypass conquering Harris. Supplies for the Planetform employees, as well as a small resident BAF contingent, will be rewarded. Terraforming supplies are welcome too. Captains may export Gaian Wildlife for research purposes. Tungsten is another quality export from here.

Commodities: Food Rations, H-Fuel, Light Arms, Mining Machinery, Alien Organisms, FloraGro, Fertilizers, Fluorine, Terraforming gases
Bonus: 1000 Credits per unit of cargo

PLANET CALIFORNIA MINOR:

Planet California Minor is one of our greatest priority projects. It is present in the California Star system in Liberty. Supplies that aid the terraforming efforts will be rewarded, and captains can obtain FloraGro for export here.
Commodities: Alien Organisms, Fluorine, Silver, Terraforming gases, Fertilizers
Bonus: 1000 credits per unit of Cargo

COLD BAY DEPOT:
This base is in the orbit of Planet Atka, in the Hudson star system. It is a high priority terraforming porject, with the Peace treaty ending hostilities between Liberty and Rheinland. Xenobiotic Filters are the primary export.

Commodities: Fluorine, Terraforming Gases, Silver, Fertilizers.
Bonus: 1000 credits per unit


I wish all captains best of luck and safe skies.

Subject: Cryo Organisms

Recently I was delivering our Nanomembrane Filters to Catania Station, an installation in Maltese Nation space. One thing caught my eye in a catalog of the station's cargo. I made an inquiry to administration and they offered me samples of the commodity.

The commodity in question is called 'Cryo Organisms', and information about it is very scarce. The Outcasts seem to find a source of those somewhere in Omicrons just recently, as I never saw them at the open market before. I wonder if we could utilize those organisms in our terraforming technology, but there's no way to tell until our scientists have chance to test the samples.

I prepared an expedition to Omicron Beta system to bring back some Cryo Organisms. Due to sensitivity of the mission, I assigned a gunship to the duty. I routed it so as to avoid entering GMG space, as there are tensions between gas miners and Outcasts. I went through Rheinland, from Munich system jumped to Omicron Xi, avoided Corsair patrols and reached Outcasts space.

Here is the manifest for delivery of 250 Cryo Organisms from Catania Station to Cold Bay Depot. This orbital facility seems to be the most secure and well equipped for examination of the samples. Planetform scientific teams already started first tests. I will report their results in this channel.

Yours sincerely

Subject: Yearly report 823

Dear members of Planetform family! This was a difficult year for all of us, a year of huge losses, but also a year of hopes. In absence of our chief management, I will give a small update on our main projects.

Planet Harris
The most painful loss we suffered this year, the loss of the Planet Harris and all personnel and ships stationed at the planet. We also lost Tungsten mines that served as one of main sources of income. Bitter defeat for all Bretonia, for us it is even more personal. I heard that Gallic corporations are feasting on the fruits of our efforts now. Soon we will have a plan and will have our revenge.

Planet California Minor
The project on Planet California Minor are on track. According to our schedule, this year should be the last year of our project. We will evaluate if parameters of the planet's climate are meeting projected values. Based on the results, we might announce completion of the project.

The bad news is that Gallic forces continued their advance into California system this year. Major assault launched from Magellan almost breached Liberty defense towards Planet Los Angeles. Planet California Minor was left aside the main battle, but overall the project seems to be in danger, just as Planet Harris a few years ago.

Planet Atka
With the end of the hostilities between Liberty and Rheinland this fall, the Cold Bay project is back on track. Alien Organisms are being injected into the atmosphere at projected rate. Our main goal is to ensure sustainable shipping of the organisms to Cold Bay Depot. I'm taking some steps to make it happen, given that our fleet is not in the best shape at the moment.

Good news is that Xenobiotic Filters factory is working at full capacity as the demand is growing due to increasing numbers of stations and installations across the sector.

Planet Edmonton
This is the biggest win for us in 823. Universal Shipping Inc. contacted us with proposal to conduct a survey of Planet Edmonton in Alberta system. Planetform sent research vessel to Alberta and our teams spent weeks on the surface. As a result, USI asked us to build permanent settlement on Edmonton. This is going to be our main project in 824. There is a prospect of terraforming contract with USI or wider consortium of Liberty corporations that we must not miss.

Project Artemis
This project was on hold for the whole year. Scientific teams are still working on theoretical foundations for the project. If Edmonton contract works out, we will need to push Artemis to completion with USI financing.

I'm looking forward to work as part of Planetform family in the new year. This is going to be a rough journey for all of us, but united we will stand and prevail.

Yours sincerely

Subject: Project Artemis

Being acting director of Planetform in absense of Mr Fletchey, I decided to start investing into Project Artemis. It was first introduced about 4 years ago and was not developed much since then. Now we have good reasons to start more active development of it, and also great opportunity to raise new financing for the project from USI. If proven successful, Artemis could be used for joint project on Planet Edmonton.

One huge obstacle that the prototype has is its power consumption. While using resonance effect to leverage gargantuan amounts of energy of planetary core by operating with energies lesser by many orders of magnitude, it still requires extremely strong source of power. We will have to find an appropriate source, a nuclear device, antimatter reactor or something else.

Below I briefly describe phases of the project as they are suggested by our engineering department. Kick off of each phase will be communicated by separate message. All Planetform Incorporated employees and contractors are encouraged to take part in this project, as it will allow us to create the Next Big Thing for our corporation and all of Bretonia.

Project Artemis roadmap

Phase 1

Prototype construction

In this phase, the prototype of the device will be finished and tested. This will be done on Canterbury Station. The following materials must be delivered to Canterbury Station to complete the prototype and prepare it for tests:

25,000 Industrial Materials
20,000 High-temperature Alloy
20,000 Superconductors
10,000 Gravity Field Stabilizers
10,000 Bio-neural Processors
5,000 Plutonium

Phase 2

Artemis-1 construction

The first terraforming platform will be built at the low orbit of Planet California Minor. The prototype will be transported to the planet's orbit and a platform with appropriate power grid will be built around it. The following materials must be delivered to Planet California Minor to complete the construction:

50,000 Industrial Materials
40,000 Shape-memory Alloy
10,000 Gravity Field Stabilizers
10,000 Energy Field Equipment
10,000 Plutonium
20,000 Iridium
30,000 Silver

NOTE: By this time the problem of power source has to be solved. Additional materials required for the power source installation will be defined and displayed once defined.

Phase 3

Artemis Platform for Planet Edmonton

With successful proof of concept of the prototype on Planet Cali Minor, we will proceed to one our major project, Planet Atka or Planet Edmonton. A full capability of the project will be implemented in the Artemis platform that we will attach to a station already orbiting either of the planets. This will also require upgrade of the station's power source.

40,000 Hull Segments
100,000 Industrial Hardware
40,000 Robotic Hardware
40,000 Reinforced Alloy
40,000 High Performance Alloy
40,000 Optronic Arrays
40,000 Heat Sinks
20,000 Plasfoam Conduits
20,000 Nanomembrane Filters

NOTE: Additional materials for power source upgrade will be listed separately once defined.

Please, keep in mind that all these numbers are, of course, preliminary and are subject to change in the course of the project.

Yours sincerely

Subject: Current projects update

I would love to bring better news, but due to recent developments in relationships with Universal Shipping around Edmonton project and overall situation with Planetform's debt, it seems that we will have to shrink the amount of investments in new projects. Project Artemis is therefore put on hold indefinitely. Terraforming of California Minor will be finished by conventional methods in the projected time frame.

To cover the cash deficiency, I decided to seek investments from Daumann Heavy Construction in exchange to part of Planetform's shares in the Saarbrucken project. I plan to expedite moving our heavy equipment from Sprague to Saarbrucken. Once completed, this shift would strengthen our positions and make the project more appealing to other investors like ALG, Kruger and Synth Foods.

Construction of mining camp and settlement on Planet Edmonton is on track. While Universal is hesitant to continue investing in that project, it is unclear what will happen to it after the construction is finished. It will function on life support until the decision is made.

Yours sincerely
