Respected administrator(s),
The Bretonian Armed Forces have discovered your station in the Magellan System, which is a protectorate of the Kingdom of Bretonia and the Republic of Liberty. This means that space stations in the Magellan System are supposed to be registered with both the Republic and the Kingdom prior to construction. The only reasons you would avoid registration for are tax avoidance, which hurts our economy, and hiding of illegal activities. Furthermore, your station does not allow Armed Forces ships to dock and it is already protected by three lethally armed, also illegal, weapon platforms. To me, this means that you are preparing to defend from an enemy. Do you consider the Kingdom of Bretonia and our allies, the Republic of Liberty, your enemy?
I hope that this is no more than a misunderstanding. Please register your station at the earliest convenience. Otherwise it will be unavoidable to deconstruct it. You have forty-eight (48) hours to apply, counting from the time of this message.

Good day leaders of Bretonia and Liberty. This is Assistant Director Bales of The Galactic Spanning Corporation. We at GalSpan respect your concerns and would like to provide you with details of Lagos Depot.
Lagos Depot was formerly home to a criminal organization which has long since disbanded. The remaining member (singular) has sold the base’s rights to us. GalSpan has now taken administration of the base, and its primary function is to house our Research and Development Division, as well as moor GalSpan registered vessels. We are now in the process of filing all the needed paper work and I will inform our docking manager to allow rights for the BAF and LN to land and inspect the facility if needed. Please allow us some time to file the needed documents. We hope to work with both the House of Liberty and the House of Bretonia and build a mutual relationship. Please contact us for any further questions.
Sincerely,
Assistant Director Bales
The Galactic Spanning Corporation

Assistant director,
Your swift reaction assures me that your company is in capable hands. Thank you for applying to register. However, I warn you about possible competition. We have been informed of your station by a third party which I will not name, suspiciously right after being transferred from unlawful to (hopefully) lawful hands. I will notify the BPA investigation department and remind them again to hurry up with their response to your registration.
Its a bit concerning you say competition...though with GalSpan going through all the correct legalities I am sure things will be cleared up soon. I will have all government parties involved in this process to have docking rights as soon as possible. Again we thank you for working with us in such a drastic change.
Sincerely,
Assistant Director Bales
