I hope you are satisfied by the payments of Crayter Republic for your services, and you are wiling to work more with us in... deeper...coordination. What i require is a rather old but still functional "relic". A discarded prototype that is seen rarely among the armada of Corsairs and some enterprising "scavengers. I require a cannon that codenamed "Gale". Thats where you come in of course. Sending a Crayter Military or Intelligence officer would raise eyebrows. Therefore i require a more discreet option, such as you and your crew. You are not affiliated with anyone yet you are resourceful from what i know. As for compensation, i assure you that you will be rewarded well.
Richard, out.

ID:Ezrael Vertiga Location: Subject: GALE ENCRYPTION:
Esteemed Admiral Richard,
I take it we drew some attention during the defense of Curacao a one and a half week ago with our presence, otherwise I can't explain how you heard about our set of skills. Matter of factly, we not only know about the Gale Cannon but also have blueprints for it. For a sum of 100.000.000 Credits you will receive a complete manual on the construction of those cannons as well as a full analysis of their functions in combat. We however don't have finished products available, you will need to construct them yourself using the blueprints. Does that sound good enough for you?
If you agree, I would send Commander Sherry Aguilar to deliver a PDA to you containing all data and a presentation. I myself am sadly not available for this right now.
What you ask is fair and it is accepted. You shall receive your payment shortly. In addition, we will grant you and your affiliates temporary low-level clearance aboard Sabah Shipyard just in case.
Richard, out.

my name is Sherry Aguilar. I am the second-in-command of Battleship Apahanta. We just jumped to Coronado and are approaching Sabah Shipyard now, ETA is fifteen minutes.
RA-20 GALE Battleship Cannon Heavy Hellbore Cannons.
The GALE is an ancient Corsair design, an ambitious project to create a weapon that is fast, powerful and has extensive range. The design succeeded in meeting these goals, but politics prevented it from entering production, as the family supporting the development of the now-universal RA-72 used their greater influence and wealth to suppress the GALE's adoption. The prototypes, dusty but functional, were recently rediscovered in a centuries-old abandoned warehouse on Crete.

52.500 Shield Damage

The file contains detailed construction plans, user manual and installation instructions. These blueprints have been modified to work with modern warships of battleship-type size.
I downloaded the data to a PDA at a secure location and i must say i am fascinated by the analysis of the weapon. It will be a perfect addition. Feel free to stay and have a tour of Yuma with your crew as a thank you from me.

I require your services again, this time i am in need of those gallic-origin "Volee" Dispersion Cannons. I am certain you can fulfill the task in the form of Blueprints again. Same price as last one i assume. Will be sent to your account shortly.

This is acceptable, Admiral Richard. The Apahanta will jump to Coronado later today and I will deliver you the PDA with the data. Commander Aguilar was certainly impressed by what she saw at Sabah, and I myself would really like to take a closer look at one of your new dreadnoughts, if you don't mind. They seem to be a very effective addition to the Crayterian fleet.
We should arrive at 16.00 UTC in Coronado. If there are any changes in the schedule, you will receive a notification.
The Volée is a multi-shot, shotgun-type battleship defense weapon, designed to keep smaller ships away from the mighty Valor class. The Gallic capital ship doctrine focuses heavily on grand battleship warfleets, but the heavy, slow weaponry on these ships leaves them somewhat vulnerable to smaller, very close ships. The Volée was intended to alleviate this problem, but the doctrines have since changed to focus more on light support. Although a number of these weapons were produced, their fate is unknown.
Until the Cultists showed up with those. Unlike the similarly working PPAC Battlecruiser turret, the Volley Cannon is not ion-based, meaning the damage to shields is normal.

I and rest of the Admirality are very satisfied with your services to the Republic. However i am in need of even more weapons from you. To increase Olympia's fighting capabilities against snubcraft i require the weapons known as "Dual Gatling Laser". I will pay the usual blueprint price. I hope they will be as devastating as the Liberty Dreadnought i saw over neuralnet.
Also, allow me to permanently grant you green-level access to Sabah Shipyard. A Green-level access gives you the ability of mooring with notice and visit non military areas of the Shipyard. As well as repairing services.
