To whomever this may concern, I am Commander Katina Ioannidis, of the Colonial Zephyr-class carrier Antikythera. I have contacted you today for a very specific refit that my vessel needs to undergo.
While Sabah Shipyard in Coronado meets the base needs of the Colonial Republic, there are specialized concerns that the shipyard cannot address. I find myself with one of those today, as Antikythera's electronics systems are in need of patching on a physical level. Much of the wiring has corroded to dangerous levels and is in need of replacing.
Additionally, more pressingly, Antikythera has a specific component that is malfunctioning: her jump drive. She is an older vessel, and has sustained varying degrees of damage from many engagements. As such, it seems that cumulative deterioration of the delicate jump drive systems has finally caught up to it, and it no longer functions in a manner that we consider safe for use.
Given that Deep Space Engineering has unparalleled quality of manufacturing in Sirius, and pioneered much of the knowledge of portable jump systems that we possess today, I would like Antikythera to receive attention from your specialists.
I am aware that the laws of Liberty prohibit foreign capital ships within the Republic, but I am not sure how we may access the proper facilities otherwise. I trust that you have procedures for such occasions, and I will leave that aspect in your capable hands.
Commander Katina Ioannidis of the Teumessians, signing off.
