Good day, Grand Admiral Golanski and Overwatch members.
We are lately interested in reverse engineering several...items. Mainly weapons and we integrate them into our Flagship. We are interested also mixing allied weaponary. As such, we would like to obtain Order's Battleship grade turrets and make them compatible with our tech.
As of this moment we need four Primary turrets and ten secondary turrets. We can either purchase with credits or offer Crayter weaponary for Fedaayen or an Osiris class.

Weaponry
The Order does not mind selling its armanents to equip on allied warships. It can be arranged... What you are precisely requesting are the following pieces of equipment...
⧫ 4 "Avatar" class primary battleship gun batteries
⧫ 10 "Herald" class secondary battleship gun batteries
The most important matter to discuss is the payment...
The O.C.V. Fedayeen unfortunatelly requires no foreign technology aboard, I am afraid. We have developed and continue to research vast array of energy emmiters, each and everyone at very least considered "military grade". Some of which you want to purchase from us, rather than the other way around. Every piece of The Order hardware was carefully designed to fulfil specific tasks at maximum efficiency. However while our weapons are unending in variety and quality, designing ships to match every encounter is tiresome and costly affair not even The Order can afford. The Crayterian Republic's latest examples of their own homeschool engineering show some interesting trends that we lack in our most immediate arsenal to bear. The Republic has turned away from doctrine of comparatively light Zephyr class carriers and nimble strike craft to develop heavy Thanatos and nowadays, also the monstrous... Deimos dreadnought.
You prove that sometimes simpler, more brute solutions are required. Then again, sale of meticulously crafted battleship arrays even as finest as The Order's own is not sufficient to part a hull to the service within the Black Fleet. Yet we are willing to negotiate to find common ground as we are not aware of monetary and material cost of producing such ships over at Sabah.

I am happy to hear that the weaponary can be arranged with no hassle. My only concern is, will it be compatible with the Olympia.
It is... interesting that you Show interest in our Deimos-Class Dreadnoughts. While they are indeed quite...monstrousity and are very expensive to produce, to the point we had to sacrifice the Ganymede, the last Kronos Battleship, the Artemis, a legendary Zephyr Carrier famed by its accomplisments and heavy help from allies to construct the first two prototypes, later we constructed another two as we managed to streamline the production procedures. Constructing one for you is possible in theory, given our past and the trust we put in you. However, a deal must have two sides.
Therefore, we would like to acquire two to four Hathor-Class Heavy Escort Gunship on top of battleship class weaponary we wanted.
As for the construction of Deimos, i will have to find the data regarding construction requirements. You can either source the materials or pay the equalivent amount of credits for us to source the materials.
I will await your response regarding the Resheph.
Richard, out.

Weaponry
The arrangments have been made, Admiral Richard
Requested assets (weaponry) will be transfered securely to Sabah shipyard by one of the Order battleship via the use of a jumpdrive. If Crayterian Government is in posession of any recent co-ordinates, transfer those via encoded transmission. In other circumstances, we will resort to less accurate past readings to deliver the equipment. Either way, it shall be done.
Hathor class gunboats may be transfered using simmilar method as our venerable O.C.V. Inquisitor has sufficient FTL drive to encompass additional vessels in a bubble. The 'Deimos' class dreadnought of your make has been part of evaluation project that could see replacement of the dated Juggernaught in our service. In an event that you complete the hull, I propose a deal that we part 'Inquisitor' to Crayterian fleet for study and decommision in secret to the Zoner authorities. Its vast hull should prove sufficient to cover the material costs of a Deimos and any classified technology would be transfered to the new dreadnought. I assure you that political implications are minimal: Inquisitor was a shell of more ancient colony ship design discontinued by the Zoners. The very group that handed us this magnificent dreadnought is defunct and all proper records had been expunged. Zoners are aware of this ship still existing but in most likelyhood will welcome the news that it is gone.

I see. Your offer of handing us the Inquisitor raised some interests among us to make Generation 3.5 Dreadnoughts even more long lasting than current Gen-3 counterparts. As a Colony Ship in its roots, that ship can help us study the almost "sacred" Zoner shipbuilding techniques and adapt some into our own ships. I, personally have Jump Coordinates near Sabah Shipyard and will upload them encrypted. You will have the means to decrypt as i am sending it compatibly.
While discussing the situation with Crayter Defense Industries, it came to our minds that we could hand our unfinished very first prototype Deimos hull, codenamed DRD-00 "GANYMEDE" . However there is a small catch with that hull.
It lacks several sections, runs on older Xiphos Mark I core which we used on Generation 1 "Kronos" -Class. Does not contain engines at all and doesnt even have most computer systems as we stripped those later. It is currently used as a training target for snubcraft but if you can handle some refitting and installing parts, it is suitable to be transferred with Olympia's Jump Drive as it contains the "bubble".
Therefore, we no longer need the Inquisitor to scrap
However we lack Battlecruisers in our lineup. If it is deemed acceptable, we would like to obtain a "Geb" -Class Assault Battlecruiser.
Please send us Jump Coordinates to where you want the Ganymede
