Hello my good amigos of the great Empire, Jake Winslow here CEO of Star Enterprises. As you are aware I have returned from my deep space research mission and have recently occupied the Omegas. Our relationship goes back many years and we have always been supports of the Empire delivering food when times where rough, Bringing medical supplies, and aiding in intel. We wish to further or relationship even more now with my return. We are working to established a secret research colony behind one of the moons in an Omega system. This as you know requires funds and proper supplies. so until we establish an overhead we are residing at Corfu base. Now to the point of all this, We wish to have access to planet Crete and Tripoli once again.
I know the Corsairs and your not just gonna roll over and say yes, so we are willing to negotiate any deals to gain this request. One of our vessels was seen leaving Tripoli today and i assure you he was willing to obey any and all request without hostile intent.
We have always considered the Corsairs one of our closer allies tho keeping neutrality is key to our Zoner way of life. Please consider our request and look forward to hearing back from you.
*leans overs and whispers
On a side note: There are still those who want my head so lets not let anyone know about this little conversation, if you don't mind.

Buenos dias senor Winslow,
This is Legatus Hector Beltran, first of The Brotherhood. Star Enterprises, eh? I have red about you in the Brotherhood archives and it's true that we had some deals in the past. That's a good foundation for future agreements, although, before I authorise anything, you will have to answer a few questions.
1. For what reason do you need access to Tripoli?
2. Where is the base and what's the purpose of it?
After those are answered, your request shall be considered.

Hello Legatus Hector Beltran, I would like to first give you a thumbs up with regards to the quick response to our request, Thank you. Now lets get to business shall we? To answer your questions the reason we would like to dock on Crete, as you may know already, is the demand of silver ore. Now as a respectable business man this isn't the only commodity we can supply to Crete. With your request we can deliver anything you want, yes i mean anything, as long as our shipments of ore pass the Corsair boarders without incident. So in other means "safe passage".
As far as your second question goes and with much respect I must decline to answer. Due to the sensitive nature of Star Enterprises Inc. we are trying to avoid the situations as before. We understand if you decline us permission to dock on Tripoli due to lack of information. The reason we needed to dock there was to grab some Hull segments before we headed back out. If I'm gonna spend my credits buying commodities I would rather give them to a Empire where I know they will go to good use *winks*, Thus us using Tripoli.
Maybe you and I can grab a drink on Freeport 5 and I can fill you in but thru a transmission is too risky. I hope we can work something out that will benefit us both in the present and future. Look forward to hearing back from you.

Hello good sir, the first of the supplies have been delivered along with the 50mill we agreed on. Please stand by for more deliveries from my crew and in turn we will be expecting safe passage. If anything is to change with our agreement please notify me as soon as possible. Other than that we will keep the supplies pouring in.

Buenos dias senor Winslow and senorita Tornbald,
This started really well. I am pleased that food and medicine has been delivered to Crete.
Besides Hull segments that you are buying from Tripoli, are you interested in taking some artifacts aswell? That would bind is even more, it would increase our export balance and you could get a nice profit.
If Star Enterprise sees an opportunity in this to expand their market, we are willing to contact Gaians and Hogosha to support Star Enterprise while establishing trade routes.
Until we meet again,
