Tho whom it may concern.
Someone has sent us intel about your installation in Omega-11. It was unwise to set up an outpost without letting us know, I don't like listening outpost's in my backyard. You will pay the price for it.
Remove your defensive platform
Grant the Red Hessian Army and our allies permanent docking access to your base
Pay a monthly tax of 70.000.000 S.C to [RHA]RHT-Weimar.
Failure to meet any of these requirements will lead to the destruction of your outpost. This is all for now, I expect your message.

Hello Mr. Stahlbrecher,
Let me dispel your worries. We are Zoners. We are not a threat for the Red Hessian Army and your allies.
We have been using this system for a long time for our merchant ships to fly through and have built this small outpost to repair of the sometimes very dangerous radiation in this systewm and to relax for our pilots.
And this basis is available to everyone who has good relationships with us, like the RHA for a long time. This means your ships can dock at any time and use all of the station's services, and this has been the case since the station was founded.
The fact that we didn't inform you about the construction in advance we have not met anyone from your group in the system in the last few months. The base has existed for several months and has been used regularly by our pilots since then, we have not yet registered a visit from your faction.
It was only with your current message that we noticed an attempt to contact. We are always open to good neighborly relations.
So let's find a solution to this problem, we're ready for it.
Now to your demands, a bit tart for our taste for a first contact, but well, that's the RHA.
As I wrote above, the RHA and its allies are allowed to dock and use the station's services since the station exists.
If I am not mistaken, the weapon platforms only serve to protect against our common enemies, the Aliens and the Wild. The latter in particular have often been seen here in the system and their bases are not far away either.
And in order to secure this small outpost at least a little, far from any support, these platforms were built.
Ultimately, these also serve for your protection in the event of a fight, this station also serves as a free and secure retreat point for you!
Now for the monthly fee or tax, whatever you like to call it.
70 million for a small outpost without any noteworthy function and income from trade, we find a little bit excessive, maybe we can still hope for an accommodation and reach an agreement that will do justice to both sides?
Best regards and to a hopefully friendly neighborhood.

The Red Hessians have been operating in Omega-11 for decades and we usually do not have any hostile intentions towards Zoners. By reading your words I pick up the phrase - "we did meet any of your group in this system" how do you actually think this works? Or how do you think the Oberkommando will react to this? That anyone but us or the SCRA is operating an outpost in Omega-11. The Omegas are Red Hessian territory don't forget that.
Now to your "small outpost without any noteworthy function" your outpost could be easily used by our enemies while you put on your smiley face and backstab us. I want proof that no Corsairs, Unioners, Rheinland Lawful, Daumanns, etc. ANY of our enemies can use your station at any time. The threats of the Nomads and their infested won't be a threat to the very well-trained and well-equipped SOA operatives that will be dispatched to deal with them at any given time. However, the Oberkommando insist on a monthly fee of 50.000.000 S.C to operate a base in Omega-11.
This is all for now.

Hello Direktor Stahlbrecher,
nice to hear from you again.
regarding your introductory text usually you meet those who control or dominate a system from time to time on their patrol flights or something like that. Nobody has seen you in the past few months or heard from you on the system you are like a rumor or a legend from ancient times. But that only by the way, I certainly acknowledge your claims to power. But please don't forget that the Zoners are also based in the Omegas and we have there our zone of interest. We are neighbors and we have to get along with each other whether we like it or not.
Now to your concern about the use of our station with regard to your enemies, we are not sure how to do this and, if necessary, will contact you again in a specially secured channel. The monthly fee of 50 million still seems a little too high for a base in our area of interest but in the sense of good neighborly relations and to close this discussion are we willing to pay them.
