I am Festus McBoyle, a merchant, and I deal in scrap and recyclable materials.
Would it be alright with you if I set up a small dismantling base in Leeds? It is for the scrapping and removal of that eyesore called Stokes Smelter. The Bretonians want to repair it so I am told, and I thought I'd get in first to purloin and loot it. A bit of payback for me too against the BAF as they stole our base! Vilains animaux diaboliques!!! I curse them!
I am not sure what rental and fees La Maréchausée de Gaule charge and so I await your response. Also, as there is a massive amount of salvageable material would you be interested in buying? Top grade hull panels, electrical conduit, robotic hardware, and much more.
It would be called Festus McBoyles Scrapyard. Just a wee operation. It could be put on a... période d'essai?

Festus McBoyle,
Comm officer Shikizumi here. The command has reviewed your request. There's one critical condition for it to exist, which is the full allowance for all Enclave ships to dock at your installation. Should you agree, we can proceed with negotiations.

Festus McBoyle,
Splendid. Now we can proceed as per the formal procedure. You are to apply for the base construction permit.
1. Please fill the following form:
Code:
Name:
Affiliation:
Planned Location:
Extensive motivation and reason for construction:
Planned modules:
2. Normally the fine for base construction is 200.000.000 Gallic Francs, but considering the situation in Leeds there would be a discount down to 100.000.000. Which you are to send to MdG/-Minori.Shikizumi
After the form is submitted and verified, and the sum of Francs arrives is at the designated account, your base will be allowed to operate.

Name: Festus McBoyles Scrapyard Affiliation: Junker Planned Location: Leeds system, close to Stokes wreck and slightly below the plane to avoid traffic congestion. Extensive motivation and reason for construction: It's a scrapyard. Stokes is a good central place to scuttle and scrap not only Stokes wreck, but also the wreck of LT 14 and potentially Glasgow station too! And there is all the flotsam and jetsam just floating around! Planned modules: 1x shield generator, 2x storage, or if i need to enlarge to a base core upgrade a total of 5x storage. Although I would like the discretion to install a few defence platforms should it be required, but only if there is a real and viable threat to my business.
It has been some time since me scrapyard started operating, and I am now in a positions to proposition you... no wait... that did not come out right. To offer a proposition to enhance our mutual wealth.
I have come in to a large quantity of Uranium ore and Aluminium ore... we won't say how shall we?
It seems to me that La Maréchausée de Gaule is in need of both for its... business needs and as a fine upstanding responsible individual I thought to let my benefactors in on the opportunity. I can have it delivered to your refining processors at Issoudun Shipyard direct. At the best price to you of course!
Would you be interested at all? We can deliver it credits on delivery, or for a lesser price/unit we could arrange for the ore to transported by one of your finest by pay and pick-up here at me scrapyard.
I would be happy to service you, err... be of service to you, Brigadier Shikizumi.
