Greetings,
I don't think we've had the pleasure yet. My name is Jacob Taylor, I'm the founder and current director of the Omicron Research Group. As I do not wish to waste your time, I'll give you a brief explanation as to what we are, if you already know about us, please skip the remainder of this paragraph. We're an independent acting, Order affiliated group of scientists, soldiers and diplomats. As the name, Omicron Research Group already suggests, our main interest lays in the Omicrons, it's natural and artificial phenomenons as well as it's inhabitants. We've been trying to keep ourselves away from local politics and keep a neutral status, though with our affiliation and the sheer nature of being an armed group, conflict was unavoidable. But this is nothing you will have to be concerned about, our warships and weapons are mean solely for the purpose of protecting our scientists and allies. If you have any questions, please feel free to direct them towards me.
Leaving the introduction behind us, I'll get straight to why I've contacted you. As you're probably aware due to the ongoing mining operations, Planet Knossos the current residence to a long destroyed nomad city showing only signs of activity outside of the planets atmosphere in it's few remaining active weapon platforms. Recently our organization has discovered this relic for themselves and has taken a huge interest in it. This started an operation with the internal code name "Shattered Horizon", with it's goal being to get a manned exploration team inside the structure. This however is an undertaking which not only required the use of heavy machinery, but also the presence of several warships as an escort for such an extremely dangerous undertaking. This is why we approach you, asking for permission to operate our vessels within your space. We understand the importance of this request and offer something in return. If you wish to do so, you may participate in this operation and add people of your own to the exploration team. You will also get access to all of the discoveries made to within the structure.
I will also add that I've already tried to contact another faction: The Brotherhood. Our communication attempts prompted one response, after which we haven't relieved another. With all this being said, I will await your response on this matter. If you have any terms of your own, please let me know and I'll do everything I can to make the best out of it for the both of our organizations.
Director Taylor, as I understand it, your request is for us to allow warships into Knossos, in the nature of having "escorts." Please allow me to politely remind you that the Order is not on good terms with the Corsairs, and this would be a clear breach of our own security. As such, that request is denied.
However, seeing as you rather requested access and waited for a reply rather than trying to force the matter, we would be willing to give your group a chance to prove themselves. You will be allowed to carry out your external surveys of the region under Custodi escort. The ruins hold great significance for our people, and as such, will not be made available to you at current time.
This is merely temporary however, if the ORG can prove that they are trustworthy, we would be open to further negotiations around the topic. Until then, you'll have to settle with long ranged scans under Custodi escort.
I trust that you will understand our reasons for this decision.
