Guten Tag, Herr Alestone. My name is Christiane Laurich and I´m kommissar from administrative department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei which handle this registry. To process your request, we need some more information.
First, we would like to know more about you and your company. For example your origin and previous ocupations, and what business is Alestone Enterprises doing. Are you selling hyperjump coordinates comercially or is it about science? Or something else?
Second, we need to clarify what are you asking for. Are you looking for permission to just travel through Rheinland space with the device onboard, or do you plan to use it in Rheinland space actually for obtaining hyperjump coordinates?

Kommissar,
Thank you for your reply.
As to my history, I am a Naval Architect and Energy Researcher. In the past, I have worked at the Singapore Shipyard in Tau-44 as part of their Blue Printing team, did a stint as an independent researcher in the Kansas system until my station was destroyed by Nomads, and, most likely to be in Rheinland's records, was the Chief Research Officer and Naval Architect for (the now defunct) Star Enterprises in Omega-9 commanding [Star]-Sleipnir, a Zoner Destroyer configured as a research ship. I am no longer an adherent of the Zoner philosophy.
Alestone Enterprises is my research firm. I am working on methods of energy development and production. Specifically, I am developing improvements in fusion technology. If this request is approved, it is my intention to base at Heisenberg Research Station in Koeln.
While it is not my intention to sell jump coordinates, I had intended not to rule it out. My offer to the Republic was made with the intention of keeping you informed should someone contract us to perform a survey. I can easily do without that if the Republic would prefer. With the limitations inherent in a Corvo's haulage, Ganesha would not be able to run the active phase to generate coordinates without a third party vessel to provide fuel.
As my original request mentions, the Scanner is part of the sensor array aboard a research ship. I will primarily be using it as a data gathering device when scanning stellar phenomena such a unusual stars, Baxter Anomalies, jump holes, etc.
I hope that I have answered all of your concerns, Kommissar. If not, please let me know, and I will do my best to address any further questions you might have.

Guten Tag, Herr Alestone.
Danke for the information you provided. Your request was reviewed and approved under following conditions:
Your ship -=AE=-|Ganesha is allowed to travel in the public Rheinland space with the Hyperspace Survey Module Mk II onboard and to conduct stellar research. You are not allowed to generate or gather any hyperjump coordinates in Rheinland space as well as carry any fuel for the device.
§1.1. Callsign of the ship: Kruger|Rhens §1.2. Type of the ship: Bustard Civilian Carrier §1.3. Name of the Captain: Ivan Grahovac §1.4. Ship papers (ID) and affiliation (IFF): Kruger id and IFF §1.5. Type(s) of the installed extraordinary equipment: Jump Drive Mk4 §1.6. Purpose: rapid response to refuel and repair ships stranded in deep space. §1.7. Notes: Ship is aquired and equiped with jump drive to ease of recovery and repairs of ships stranded without fuel in deep space. Jump drive mk 4 is aquired so it can have armed escorts with it as jumping in deep space is rather dangerous.

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter representative of the Kruger Mineralien. My name is Christiane Laurich and I´m kommissar of administrative department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei.
First, let me deeply apologize for the huge delay. Unfortunately, due to computer error, your message ended in the message box of officer which was ill and thus stayed overlooked until he returned to work.
Now to your application. To process it, we need to know what jump entry and exit points you plan to use, because it may be important for safety of space traffic.

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter Herr Wlliams. My name is Christiane Laurich and I am kommissar of administrative department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei.
Let me start with a note that I hope that when you wrote "defense of pirates" as a purpose for use of your cloaking device, it was just a grammar mistake and you actually meant -against- pirates. Defense of pirates is a criminal act obviously.
Anyway, the Oberkommando of the federal polizei reviewed your request and denied it. Only known and trustworthy individuals or organizations are given permission to use them and you are completely unknown person to us, thus you can not be considered as trustworthy enough to be allowed to use cloaking device in Rheinland space.
Name: John Erikson. Ship Name: "The_Axiom". Ship Type: L-584 "Enterprise" Luxury Liner. ID: Orbital Spa and Cruise. IFF: Orbital Spa and Cruise. List of Equipments: Cloaking Device Mk3 and Heavy Cloak Batteries. Purpose: "The_Axiom" is a high-security luxury liner. She is tasked with transporting diplomats to Omicrons and conducting risky "Grand Sirius Tour" which includes the most dangerous systems in our sector. On our voyage we usually encounter a lot of hostiles (pirates, strange alliens calling themselves "Nomads" etc) and since our ship is slow and is not well armed we are unable to fight them nor avoid them.
We need to pass through Rheinland space with Cloaking Device and batteries in order to safely travel to Omicrons and within them, to make our routes shorter and safer and to transport passengers to and from Rheinland legally. Notes: Cloaking device will be used ONLY in case of emergency.

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter Herr Erikson. My name is Christiane Laurich and I am kommissar of administrative department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei.
The Oberkommando of the federal polizei reviewed your request and denied it. Ships with cloaking device onboard out of hands of law enforcement authorities are delicate matter due to possible security risk, thus only known and trustworthy individuals or organizations are given permission to use them in Rheinland space. You are completely unknown person to us, thus you are not considered as trustworthy enough.
