I had a call from Aoba, one of our workers who had a... "problem" nearby your station. Sometimes, small business like us need to buy old "barely capable to fly" junk, one of your mariners managed to tow him to a nearby dock and he's now in good hands, ship repaired, and services paid.
Aoba meet some guys in Tripoli shipyard that told him to talk directly to you, regarding a possible business chance. I am curious about it, we are a newly formed business who operates in Kusari mainly, with platinum, MOX, and we despise corporatism, we even farm our own crops in our own high-tech hydroponics.
I am all ears to earn some "creditos" like you call them. But remember, at the first glance of danger, I am taking my workers home.
You should leave your workers at home if DANGER is a problemo; this is a commodity with which the Corsair Emperio is mucho blessed. It has been considered suispicious that you would send such an underequipped vessel on a voyage into Omicrons. LUCKY are you to have encountered us first! Imagine if an Outcast patrol had happened upon el pobre Aoba?
Yes, our engineers and mechanics did not cease complaining about the sub-standard maintenance record on your ship. It was recommended that it be completely overhauled, with special attention focused on the power generator linkage and supports. The misculator valves were completely worn; the lower piculation transistors were burnt to a crispy. How the ship even made it to Gamma is a miracle.
As for your business proposition: We had a frigate in Shikoku which reconned your station, Imapala was it? If your ships are in better condition than Vulpes Logopus was, load them up with Platinum. You will find the prices at Planet Crete to be the most agreeable. Blue Fish crews will face no threat from Corsairs.
During my stay at Reincarnation Outpost in Omicron Delta, it came to my attention that our base Ravenna Invicta is in need of additional supplies to maintain the Hydroponics Bay and MOX Breeder Plant operative. Without hesitation, I headed towards Omicron Gamma and delivered successfully 4,900 units of water from Planet Crete, 4,450 units of toxic waste from Rhodes Shipyard and 4,000 units of industrial materials from the Zoner base on Planet Gran Canaria.
Please find below the documentation of my deliveries.
The dawn of a new era in naval supremacy is upon us as we proudly announce the commencement of the construction for a shipyard on Ravenna Invicta, a monumental initiative set to bolster the might of the Imperio. Strategically positioned to harness the powers of our domain, this shipyard will serve as a cornerstone for the continuous replenishment and expansion of our flotillas.
The facility will encompass state-of-the-art dry docks capable of accommodating vessels of varying sizes, specialized outfitting bays for advanced weaponry integration, and expansive assembly halls designed to streamlining the production, ensuring that our forces remain at the forefront of technological advancement. Moreover, the shipyard will be the construction site for the first ‘Consul’ ship, may many more follow in the future.
With this new hub of industrial power, we will not only enhance the speed and efficiency of our attacking fleets, but also create vital support for our growing operations across Sirius. The shipyards infrastructure will facilitate rapid maintenance and upgrades of existing fleets, ensuring they remain formidable against any foe. In addition, the deployment of sophisticated automation technologies within the construction process will maximize productivity, thereby reducing lead times and allowing for a quicker response to the Imperio’s strategic directives. With the establishment of the Ravenna Invicta shipyard, we stand ready to project our power with renewed vigor, solidifying our dominance and achieving the Imperio’s vision of an unassailable force.
To put these plans into action our most skilled ingenieros have come up with the following materials we will require for the construction:
50,000 units of hull panels
30,000 units of robotics
30,000 units of basic alloy
20,000 units of industrial materials
10,000 units of optronics
10,000 units of bio-neural processors
5,000 units of nanocapacitators
5,000 units of nanotubes
In addition, we will need to bring in 500 additional crew members and 500 scientists dedicated to work on the project.
Some materials can be brought directly from our own or allied bases, but for others we might need to be more creative…However, I have no doubt that the Imperio will find a way to get a hand on those materials. The materials shall be delivered to Planet Crete, where the initial assembly processes will start before redistributing materials and already processed drydock parts to the nearby Ravenna Invicta.
All available Deterrence Logistics Officers and brave pilots are encouraged to assist in the delivery of the following materials to Planet Crete and report it here directly to me:
Hull panels will be purchased for 95 credits/unit
Robotics will be purchased for 45 credits/unit
Basic alloy will be purchased for 40 credits/unit
Industrial materials will be purchased for 50 credits/unit
Optronics will be purchased for 100 credits/unit
The necessary crew and scientists will be brought in by a specialized Liner from the nearby systems directly to Ravenna Invicta. The provision of the remaining materials and parts of the required basic alloy are planned to be done by external partners that will be contacted very soon.
I have delivered 11,250 units of hull panels to Planet Crete and informed the crew at the dockst hat they are destined to be used for the shipyard construction project for Ravenna Invicta. Please find attached to this report the delivery notes for the hull panels. I will surely help out more with other deliveries in the upcoming days.
Journey to Tripoli Shipyard and back to Planet Crete

The culmination of many weeks searching for the ideal technicians has proved fruitful. Many skilled engineers and project leaders have been trained domestically, and our agents abroad have located key personel, securing their employment contracts.
After a 2-week organizational session, all team members have arrived to Operations Area Iota on Planet Crete.
I have delivered the needed 10,000 units of Optronics from Newport Station in Sigma-13 to help with the construction of the shipyard on Ravenna Invicta.

The Imperio thanks you for your service in bringing 11,250 units of hull panels, 10,000 units of optronics as well as the needed crew members and scientists to Crete.
Senor Espinoza, your payment is composed of 11,250 units x 32 credits/unit = 360,000 credits for the hull panels (63 credits/unit already have been received) and 10,000 units x 12 credits/unit = 120,000 credits for the optronics (88 credits/unit already have been received).
The total of 480,000 credits has been wired to your account.
The convoy to Gallia was not uneventful. Several Outcasts lied in wait for the troop as they returned to Crete, pouncing upon them outside of Luxury Liner Hawaii. Corsair escorts DTR-Ala.Roja and DTR-ApollosHand performed their task admirably, allowing much of the cargo to be delivered without delay.
