Ship restoration
Good morning, honorable engineers and constructors, my name is Ensign Léo Serre, a newcomer in the Order Black Fleet and I contact you to discuss an important question about fighter's restoration. Before you ask me, why I can't just use standard Order technology, I say, this ship will be more useful to achieve certain goals.
LV Adom recently delivered "Lynx" class fighter remains. This ship was belonging to regular Gallic Royal Naval forces and still have proper logos, technical documentation, maintenance and repair manuals, and serial number. With your help, I want to restore this fighter, equip it with advanced equipment, adapt the powercore for appropriate technology, and revise fusion drive.
All gallic ships were adapted for using CNOS/U/Rx types engines, which consume oil or Promethene and I am not sure about right fuel capability in the Order fuel storages, so it would be more useful to rework current drive into something different, based on Deuterium for reaching max efficiency.
A fighter docked on repair platform 17-B on the Akabat and wait for your skillful hands. All necessary resources may be supplied if you need them
With regards,
Ensign Léo Serre

As far The Order is concerned you are permitted to operate any equipment that you yourself can maintain to quality standards expected of The Order. You keep what you get, and can get away with it. That saying I do enjoy looking over custom projects such as these. The biggest efford is going to be converting the engines. As it stands, I believe you will have to replace the entire powercore and propulsion from scratch. We do have standard issue H-Fuel engines to help out with this effort however. I will ensure necessary documentation is attached to any part you request.

I am really glad to hear you accepted working under such an unusual project. Most of all I will be interested in engines and its complete characteristics including exact fuel consumption to calculate how long a ship can fly without refueling,
I will wait for further updates and signal for test drive, Colonel.

It highly depends on the intended weight of your vessel, as well as how much of that is dedicated to the fuel capacity. As I understand Gallic tanks are rated for liquid fuel rather than compressed gas such as H-Fuel. The Order ships on average have additional storage fitted for extended operations, mounted in wings in addition to the main chassis. The manuals I am going to send over the neural net cover specs and fuel consumption of unmodified engine units found in use by forces of The Order. Refitting Gallic ships to Sirian standards is considered an exhaustive overhaul.

Ship restoration and manuals request
Colonel Blair,
I understand your concerns about potential fuel capacity and the difference between Sirian and Gallic tech. If it's important, you can consume a part of the cargo bay as a compressed gas tank extension. Do everything possible to make vessel suitable and usable in constantly changing conditions.
Besides, I would like to ask to get the next service manuals:
H-Fuel engines
Energy power core
Main software
Please, leave a notification all important work is complete.
With regards,

I have authorized user manuals to be available in digital form accessible from your PDA. Do not hesitate to consult with other operatives. There are plenty of enthusiasts maintaining customized gear in their spare time and to be honest: if that makes them fight better, all the power to them and you may learn a thing or two about Sirian engineering. I had spoken to the Quartermaster of the Akhetaten - that’s our primary settlement in our world. Any auxiliary, non-restricted Order-tech and minor parts to all widespread used craft in Omicrons can be sourced through him without too much of a paperwork. Akhetaten equipment dealers tend to have the best stock available in central Omicrons and are not so restricted on spare space as Freeports tend to be. Consider that a bonus if you require further customization or repairs in the future.
