Konnichiwa, gentlemen. As you may be aware there have been some rather troubling political incidents in Kusari space over the past few months. Numerous riots and political shifts have left the region in chaos, with a new government coming to power. Unfortunately in the chaotic shift, several high ranking members of the AFA vanished, and as such our transport operations have been disrupted. With the recent re-organization of the AFA we are now prepared to continue the previous transportation of food and civilian equipment to Corsair installations. The Hogosha continuously speak highly of you, and are still very interested in receiving shipments of those trinkets your boys dig up. I believe we can form some kind of proper trade system with a little bit of effort, given our relations in the past I do not expect you to object to our transports arriving in your space, but please, contact me here so we can finalize an trade agreement with your people.
Buenos dias señor Fuyuzuki,
It is good to hear that your honorable group has resolidified its position, Kusari needs proud people with high ideals such as your group!
The Empire will of course graciously buy all of your fine rice and other shipments off your hands... you are as welcome as ever,si? Now then, contact us if you need any help setting up your transports once again, we can provide the most recent navigation data as well as security while passing from the Simas to our home.

Excellent. I have recently ordered our Rabas to begin regular shipments of food and other utilities to your stations and Crete as well. Our ships and their cargo have been warmly welcomed by your dock workers so far, and I am looking forward to flying down to your space personally in the coming days.
We have started a new engineering project though that we would welcome your assistance in. I have had some engineers going over the Raba SHI 1800's schematics recently, a design the Corsairs gave to us a while back. While it is true that the design would not properly work as a gunboat, the gentlemen working in the Hogosha, along with several Alliance engineers believe that we can completely rework the entire existing reactor assembly enough to install a far larger power core and move the cooling systems farther towards the dorsal bulkheads, effectively enlarging the cargo hold. The only real issue we are running into is that we are working with a stripped down prototype of the old gunboat, so a lot of the high capacity power regulation systems were not included in the schematics you gave to the Hogosha and our crews at Cape Soya. I would like to ask for permission for our engineers and technicians to be granted access to the original mothballed prototype in order to see how your men designed the power relay systems. We do not plan on making the Raba into a proper gunboat, but we should be able to create a far more formidable transport out of it in the coming months.
