To whom it may concern,
my Name is Garrus Hendrix, current leader of the military wing of the Forlorn Hope. I am contacting you because I have 'small' request. On several occasions during our Omicron trips, we were able to see the full potential of your vessels. I am speaking about the Marlin and Steelhead class vessels. We have seen the ships in combat against the most dangerous vessels out there, the Nomads. They tore through them like butter and were always one step further ahead. Those things didn't even had the opportunity to hit the ships.
Now, to my 'small' request, I talked with our accountants and we have found a nice pile of money that needs to be spent. Of course we don't want to send it to some random cutthroat and we still have a need for advanced technology. Therefor my request: I am considering buying a good amount of ships off your hands and I'm not talking about a small amount. I am looking to buy twenty (20) Marlins and ten (10) Steelheads. I also threw an eye on you weapons. I saw the efficiency first hand and I am heavily impressed. Therefor I'd like to get forty (40) of each gun you produce that is capable of being used by a very heavy fighter. I suppose I don't have to mention that I need five (5) of respective turrets as well.
Normally I'd request the 'goods' through your shop instead of sending you this communication. But there is another matter I wanted to ask. Our technicians are decent and can keep a ship flying, yet they only have knowledge about Civilian tech. This might put the ships at a risk to be 'single use', if you understand what I mean. Therefor I am asking if there could a small training or workshop for our technicians on how to properly keep the ships flying and not degrade them to 'single-use-ships'.
I do hope we both might profit from this deal. One way or another. Hendrix out.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Hendrix

Generally, each of our sales packages includes user manuals that explain how exactly to operate APX craft and weaponry.
You have to understand that a "Workshop" to induct you into how to properly use these items isn't something we can drop our other duties for and perform. We could perhaps look at arranging something, although we would have to see when we have a contingent of ships that aren't occupied with other duties.

Mister Archos,
I fully understand that it's hard for you to have your technicians drop the work and do a workshop for some mercenaries. But we can't afford to send our technicians away, without them tending to their duties, anyways. So perhaps there might be a different approach to share the knowledge, if you are willing that is. Maybe a small team of our technicians could be sent to work alongside your people. That way our people can support your men and get a hang of the APX ships and therefor maintain them at peak efficiency.
With this approach, our men won't be stalling your men, instead they would help them, if they are able to. Additionally to the 'free' part-time workers, I can send in additional credits to cover any expenses caused by our men. If that would be a possible approach, I would gather my most skilled technicians and inform them about their luck. Spreading the knowledge further in our ranks won't be a problem, once we have a team that is able to work effectively with the APX ships and weapons.
As for the ships and weapons, tell us how much credits we owe you and where to send them. We're not in a hurry to get the ships and weapons but we won't deny a smaller, partial package earlier. That is of course, if there isn't a big enough supply of weapons and ships ready for pickup.
Anyways, money calls. Hendrix out.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Hendrix
The Forlorn Hope
I like the sound of that idea. Very well then, we will temporarily contract your men to fly alongside us in the Edge Worlds. This will allow them to get an understanding of the ships, as well as help us out in our operations.

Mister Archos,
I'd just wanted to inform you, that after all the number juggling our accountants have successfully wired the funds of 112.400.000 Credits to Core|APM-Light.Blue. If there's anything that was missed or if some funds were not properly transfered, contact me and I will take care that you get your share of the deal. I have attached proof of the transaction.
Additionally, I have selected a hand of people, including me, who will pilot the ships alongside yours. I have already briefed the men who will be flying and they just need the call and will shoot your enemies alongside your men.

Mister Archos,
I told three of my pilots that they're coming with me to Delta. We're closing in on Delta as we speak and will arrive at Yaren soon. I'll introduce my fellow pilots upon arrival.
Keep a seat heated. Hendrix out.
Yours sincerely, Knight Captain Hendrix
