Good day. My name is Graham I am the captain of Synth Foods Convoy 313. I have positive feedback to give you about one of your samurai - Niiro Chibi.
Today Convoy 313 has been grounded on New Tokyo after emergency docking procedures to avoid Farmers Alliance fighters. We waited a long time, but finally received the escort help.
Mr.Chibi escorted us to Honshu system, providing great help for Synth Foods, Inc.
Have this report in mind when you consider Mr.Chibi's capability and performance.

Konnichiwa, Gentlemen.
Today, your capital vessels were sighted in Honshu. This is a violation of the Kusari Legal Codex, which apparently you are completely ignorant of.
NO Bounty Hunter capital vessels are allowed in Kusari space. NO capital vessels are permitted in Kusari space without prior permission of a KNF or KSP officer on scene. IF there is no officer present to answer your request, then STAY OUT.
I strongly suggest you become familiar with the Kusari Legal Codex before attempting to bring your big pig iron to Kusari again. There will be no further warnings. If you are sighted in Kusari again with those specific vessels, you will be added to our "Criminals List". I hope this is crystal clear to you.
(Oh, and whatever in the Wide Wide World of Sirius prompted you to buy battlecruisers for your escort service? Any fool would know that anything larger than a gunship is a waste of resources, not to mention being totally inadequate for the purpose.)

To the office of the Kusari Naval Forces,
Pertaining to the license for hazardous materials, here mentioned with specific attention are MOX and Plutonium; for the transportation of such materials to and from Kusari territory.
We, the company ALG, seek to with great humility, request a reduction in the cost of said license. The exposure of our pilots and crews to the harmful effects of these materials that many corporations refuse to haul creates excessive cost in treatment and recovery times. The materials themselves are prone to degrading during transport, and in said degrading, to damage the hull of the ship and the modules of the ship. On consideration, is not the fact that the ALG are willing to transport such material for the Kusari people in a safe and clean manner to avoid any despoiling of the Kusari systems enough to warrant a discount of some degree? There have been reports of small Kusari corporations attempting the transport of such materials without the proper shielding and technical expertise, who are found regrettably deceased due to radiation exposure and their ships drift aimlessly in space, a radiation hazard prone to rupture via asteroid, meteorite or other stellar artefact. These hazards may even be drawn into the gravity well of a populated planet and cause untold damage to ecosystems and the humans thereon.
By contrast the reputation of the ALG is spotless in this regard, but only through great diligence and determination on the part of the corporation and its employees. While the ALG Corporation is registered in Rheinland, employment due to the proximity to Kusari space of our Helgoland station is abnormally skewed towards the recruitment of taxpaying Kusari citizens. These hard working members of our corporations family are a welcome asset, but they are now facing the prospect of a cut to wages brought on by the payment of this levy, as all levels of the ALG Corporation would have to accept.
With regard to the service of the ALG Corporation to the Kusari people and government in the transportation of the above mentioned materials, we request a discount appropriate to the duties we undertake.
Here signed,
Elias Grawitz.
Captain of the [ALG]-TGX-Muldenkipper

Dear Taishō Sulu,
the only reason for ALG to export various commodities into the Tau sector is the presence of our valued allies the IMG there. We supply them with essential goods, such as MOX, Plutonium and ship hull panels. Another reason to use the route through the Tau sector is the short way to Omega 49. The Zoners are also in need of various products.
I can't provide you with very detailed flight plans, because this falls under the corporate secret of ALG. I will talk to the industrial council on how far we can give you access to our shipping lists. But this will take some days.
Basically Herr Grawitz was speaking about a significant lowering of your license fee, due to the fact, that ALG is supplying the nation of Kusari with MOX and ship hull panels, the best of the whole Sirius sector. When talking about MOX I'm not overstating, when I say that ALG is the only source of MOX for the Kusari armed forces.
Regards
Ralf Schmied
