We, the Stuttgart Landsknechte are contacting you to with a request as well as a business proposal.
At first, I'd like to poit you to our information brochure, where you find all relevant information regarding our organisation.
As you can see, the Stuttgart Landsknechte have quiet some tradition, however we're spaceborne for a short amount of time. We also have scored quiet some sucesses in a short period of time and have aquired two large costumers already, namely Synth Foods and the Junker Congress.
However our home and primary area of operations is Rheinland, we strife to widen our zone of operations and reach out to Rheinlands adjoining Systems and Kusari. Since our primary targets in Kusari are those who are a spike in the GMGs back for a long time, the Hogosha and Farmers Alliance and we have common relations to Synth Food, the thought of opening a dialogue regarding possible business between our groups doesn't seem too far fetched.
Our first draft of some kind of contract would be the following:
Quote:- The Stuttgart Landsknechte will seek and destroy the GMGs adversaries
- The Stuttgart Landsknechte will will aid any GMG ship per request in any given situation free of charge (as long as no laws of Rheinland are violated, in Rheinland sovereign territory)
- The Stuttgart Landsknechte will be granted docking rights on GMG bases in Sigma 13, Sigma 19 and Honshu
- We also humbly ask permission to buy some of your extraordinary fighter and bomber craft, namely the Kaichou and Karasou, as well as the Skyplast B Photon Blasters. Additional payments for any inconveniences can be arranged, of course.
- The payment to the Stuttgart Landsknechte can eiher be made over a certain period of time (a 'kill flatrate' if you want) or on a 'pay per kill' basis
We are looking forward to further talks with you and hope that our coorperation will be long and prosper

Konnichiwa Thomas-san,
Oh you came to the right place, Thomas-san, we do like mercenaries. Just recently we further improved our business with Synth Foods and they'll be having new operation on our PLanet Miura now. This may be fotuitous for all. You may find some familiar faces on the surface as their domes get constructed.
I see you also mentioned the Junker Congress. We are fully aware of Yanagi and it's location. When we pulled in ALG to clean up the Yanagi Debris Field the Junkers also tagged along to do the work as well. On the surface this wasn't a concern. However, due to their "associations" it was only a couple years ago that piracy in Sigma-13 was getting uncontrollable. This was made possible through the use of Yanagi Depot as a base of operations by unsrupulous pilots from every corner of the Sirius Sector. It was reaching the point where GMG was ready to remove the depot from our space alltogether. This is when we met the Junker Congress. They've shown more honour then we would have previously expected from a Junker. Working together, Yanagi Depot ceased to exist as a major pirate haven. Sure there are some questionable people passing through from time to time but now the tides of unlawful activity have receded to more controllable levels. So now we are content to allow the Junker Congress oversee Yanagi Depot and we leave them to do their thing.
Now I've been able to have some inquiries made about your group and it does check out. Your reputation as a lawful group of mercenaries does match and you are said to be effective at your work. This is good for you and is good for us. We will employ your group and start you on a trial period. For now you may land on our bases without harassment and work alongside our paramilitary based on hte pay structure of oiur bounty board. Prove yourselves as needed additions to our space and you'll be elevated to a trusted level and thus gain higher pay and we will talk about providing ships and weaponry.
This time, we are approaching you with a humble request. We have done some patrol flights in Sigma 13 and its nebula clouds lately, but we had severe problems navigating the dense clouds and through the highly explosives gas pockets with our rugged, but rather bulky civilian craft. Furthermore, the civilian grade sensor packages we have on board these ships can barely penetrate the interferences there, causing us to loose our targets rather quick if they choose to retreat.
Similar conditions are met in the Omega 7 Sytem, where we operate for the Rheinland Military and cooperations.
For this reasons, we are asking you if you allow us to purchase your fine T-493-HF "Karasu" Heavy Fighter and the T-493-B "Kaichou" Bomber and some "Skyblast B/A" Photon Blasters and turrets to arm them properly.
Of course, we are willing to compensate for any further complications this may cause, as well as assist GMG forces whenever and wherever we can.

Konnichiwa Thomas-san,
Good to hear from you again. I've also had the chance to hear of you too. Seems that you partook in our operation within Beta alongside our paramilitary forces. Arigato for being there to help see our pilots through. This is no small matter in the eyes of GMG, to be there when we need you the most, and you will be rewarded for such.
I agree the ships you are using are ungainly for the operations we have and will ask you to partake on. Now that we know you can be trusted we will approve your group the use of our Karasu and Kaichous as well as our photons weaponry. These tools will make it easier for you to navigate in our clouds and meet our enemies with an advantage in our home space. As for our bounty board, we are currently doing a complete overhaul of our board and it will be released shortly, arigato for your patience.
