Hello,
My name is Dan Johnson I am a trade captain for Deep Space Engineering. I currently own a EL-HiL27 "Rhino" Liberty Freighter. It has served me well but it was an aging model when I got it and while I could simply buy one of the newest models of the ship I believe it is time I jump into the big leagues of cargo movement. After some research I found the best ship for my needs in the EL-HiL51 "Mammoth" Liberty Transport that brings me to why I am contacting you today, I am looking to finance the ship. I can offer up my current Rhino as well as 3 Million credits and some change which means I would need a loan of 5 Million credits. My best estimates puts paying you back the difference 2 weeks time unless some unknown burst in profits comes up.

Ms.Adams,
I'll tell you what, this was one of the busiest contracts I have ever fulfilled! never did I expect I'd ever set foot in Gallia, at least free that is we've all seen the Neural Net casters that scream conspiracy theories like "Gallia's Gonna enslave everyone!" and "The Radiation produced from Trade Lanes is part of a plan to sterilize humanity" all nonsense am I right?
I am getting off topic though so let me begin as this is quite a long story.
After receiving your message I left Newark Station and made my way towards Rheinland to get the Cigars, I elected to take the Manhattan to West Point Military Academy trade-lane because everyone knows the Fort Bush lane is very dangerous and prone to pirate attacks. Upon arrival at Westpoint, I checked in and relayed my destination they gave me the go ahead to continue on towards the Battleship Missouri advising me to touch base with them before moving to the Texas system. Upon arrival at the Battleship Missouri I explained the situation Missouri told me to travel safe and proceed to the Texas System, they also advised me to contact the Battleship Arkansas as there was a special travel advisor in effect for traders entering Rheinland. With an uneventful passage from Liberty to Texas I arrived at Battleship Arkansas in Planet Houston's orbit. The Arkansas advised me that there appeared to be some level of political instability and all travelers where advised to stay vigilant. With this warning taken into consideration I proceeded towards the Hudson. Hudson, as always, was quiet. After passing by the Terraforming operations I continued on towards Rheinland. Upon entering Rheinland I was greeted by the the Carrier Soltau. While I wasn't about to ask questions about any political mumbo jumbo so after checking in and stating my destination was Planet Holstein I was given the go ahead and continued on. Arriving at Alton Station I I was once again greeted by the lovely Rheinlandic hospitality before proceeding down the lane to Alster Shipyard. After dodging a stray cargo pod that broke loose from a transport docked at Alster I continued to New Berlin. upon arrival in New Berlin I passed Dortmund Station which despite my best efforts refused to accept my hail, Essen on the other hand was much more welcoming. Upon arrival at New Berlin orbit I had to stop for a moment, I had never been here and I was mesmerized by the sheer size of The Ring, it truly is a wonder of Rheinlandic Engineering surely no stations anywhere could rival it's size. Finally arriving in Frankfurt I made a quick pittstop on Mannheim to refuel. After leaving Mannheim I continued on to Planet Holstein. After picking up the shipment of Cigars I made my way back to Liberty.
Thankfully all expenses for this trip were covered by DSE because I delivered a load of Agiera White Boxes to Holstein.
The return trip was also quite simply nothing to write home about. The most interesting part of the trip came in my travels to Gallia.
I made it back to Newark Station and decided to take a rest before I headed off for Gallia.
Me and my crew rose early, I wanted to get as much distance in as I could before I'd have to rest again. I launched from Newark and proceeded down the lane to West Point. After checking in with West Point I headed into California. I arrived at Riverside Station and decided it best to stock up on some food for the road afterward I proceeded down the trade lane to Planet Los Angeles. I notified Battleship Alma of where I was heading, Planet Metz in Lorraine Gallia, They advised me to keep alert as anti-Libertonian sentiments may still be high in the area. Taking heed of their advisory I continued out of California into Cortez. I passed through Cortez and into Bretonia, always a pleasurable trip. Upon entering Manchester I checked in with Kingston Border Station, after informing them of my end destination they cleared me to proceed. I made it to the newly rebuilt Birmingham Station which was as busy as ever. I passed by and proceeded through to New London. Upon arriving at Kensinton I was given an alert that Enclave and Gaian forces have been rather active in Leeds as of late, I have a job to do however so, I continued my travel. While passing Belvedere Refinery I was entirely ignored by all my hails despite them continuing to contact and service other ships in the area, horribly rude. I however didn't have time to wonder about their lack of manners and I proceeded to Leeds. Upon entering orbit of Leeds me and my crew stopped to pay our respects. I still cannot believe what happened here. Once we were finished, I checked in with the Battleship Norfolk they advised us to take care and that until we reached Holman we would mostly be on our own. Upon arriving at Holman, and not knowing just how much further we had we decided to get a room for the night. Once we woke ate and topped off the fuel in the ship we got ourselves in order were advised to follow the Trade Lane to Tau-23 and further on into Gallia. We departed Holman and entered Tau-23, following the Trade Lanes passing by Charonsee Depot. Upon entering Languedoc I noticed a distinct lack of border station, I decided to take the trade lane ahead of me which led to Nimes Station. Upon arrival there was some initial shock at a freighter making such a travel however after explaining this was a very special delivery they permitted me to continue on into Gallia. They uploaded a map of how to get to Metz from. After thanking them very much for the assistance I proceeded down the trade lane towards the Dauphine system. Being in Gallia was one of the coolest thing ever, their stations look familiar enough but they are certainly different from say Liberty or even Kusari who are know for some of their flashy stations but these stations were simply....awe inspiring. I am getting distracted where was I? Right! We arrived at Gap station and they greeted us and welcomed us, while also apologizing for the mess of a scrap field in the area. (Perhaps DSE could get a contract to help clean up here?) I continued on to the shockingly large Fourchambault Shipyard before moving on into Ile-de-France. I'll tell you what, I have seen some shockingly beautiful things....but Ile-de-France is something else. I thought The Ring was a big station, some of these stations in Ile-de-France are as big as Maine! After me and my crew sitting there for a few minute awestruck by the beauty of the system we proceeded down the Trade Lane to New Paris, did you know that planet as Three Docking Rings?! My mind was more then frazzled seeing traffic zipping all over the place so I pulled up the NaviData that we were given back at Nimes and proceeded towards the trade lane to Sarcelles Shipping Facility. Upon arrival we saw one of the old Gallic Royal Navy Valors "Battleship Montreuil" which has apparently been repurposed into a museum. From here we hopped into the trade lane to the Burgundy System. You know I have see Planet Fuji, it's one of the most massive planets I have ever seen. Then, then I entered Burgundy...Planet Tonerre is for sure the largest planet I have ever seen....its magnificent and also a bit intimidating. We continued on down the lanes to Bourg-en-Bresse Space Port which had yet another scrap field, still quite surprised that despite all the scrap fields I haven't seen any Junkers...very strange. I continued along the lanes to Planet Nevers which, from orbit at least, looks visually similar to Planet Curcao. I was quite relieved to see that we were finally approaching Lorraine as it was becoming quite obvious that we were going to be cutting it close on fuel supplies. We entered Lorraine and made our way to Roanne Production Facility. From there we finally arrived at Planet Metz where we picked up the contracted Blue Diamonds. Me and my crew being exhausted chose to rent a room at the local hotel new the space port, big mistake those prices were outrageous Never Again. Ian felt like be adventurous and tried some of the local cuisine, something called Foie gras poor fool spend the rest of the night in the hospital apparently his body wasn't fond of whatever that stuff was. We got up in the morning, Ian was feeling better now mostly and went to the space port to begin launch preparations. Now, local police claim nothing happened, CCTV footage says the same, but I know there was a 1/4 tank left in that ship enough to get us to Misaki to refuel. After managing to find a technician willing to work on Sirian tech we had no choice but to replace the engine as getting an emergency shipment of H-Fuel here for just this ship would have costed way more credits then I am financially fond of spending. We purchased a discontinued model, apparently it was a staple engine of the Royal Navy forces. After a hefty bill and a lot of headaches we finally left Metz. After launch I proceeded to Tau-53, making into Kusari Space felt like a breath of fresh air, while not entirely familiar with this branch of Kusari Space it was still more familiar than Gallic Space. We hailed Misaki station and then proceeded to Hokkaido. Upon entering Hokkaido we were greeted by the usual courteousness that Kusari has to offer, that being cold straightforward commands and a constant feeling of being looked down upon. We explained to the traffic controller at Otaru Border Station that we were on a return trip to Liberty, they gave us the all clear and warned us that the Kyofu seemed to be particularly nasty in the last few hours. With this genuine fear of radiation poisoning in our minds we proceeded down the lanes and to the Kyofu Gap making a quick connection down to Sapporo Station. We quickly landed on Sapporo and had the damage done to our ship repaired from the intense heat and radiation emitted by the Hokkaido star and then proceeded on to New Tokyo. Seeing Planet Fuji used to bring me wonder and amazement, I remember watching the documentaries as a kid about it now it seems minuscule in the shadow of Planet Tonerre. We made our way quickly through New Tokyo, passing by Yokohama Shipyard, Shinjuku Station, and Planet New Tokyo before heading into Shikoku. When we arrived in Shikoku I was feeling a bit tired so I called on Ian to take over piloting while I took a rest in the back. Shortly there after I awoke to the sounds of Radiation alarms going off, seems wasn't at 100% and was getting tired and nodded off shortly after entering Kepler and we began drifting dangerously near one of the dark matter clouds in the system. I told Ian to get back to his bunk and sleep. I called up Kevin and asked him how he was feeling, he said fine and awake and I told him to take us as far as Manhattan orbit or until he got tired. I woke up again when we finally reached Manhattan I took control of the ship and brought us into dock here at Newark station. We offloaded the cargo and headed to the Accommodations Wing to find a room for the three of us to crash for the night.
