Greetings Guild Master,
It has been a while since we have last had contact with the guild, and we hope everything is going well. I’ve come today to contact you about a few things concerning Singapore shipyard. As we both know, the raid on Tau-44 over a year ago with the so called “Orange Hammer” devastated all sides involved. We’ve been working on removing much of the wreckage left by the Outcasts. We are looking to ramp up the process and are looking to move on to the larger wrecks in the field. Unfortunately we lack the facilities needed in the system to process them. This is why we turn to you.
Though there is already a drydock under the republic's use in Singapore. We would like to lease 3 additional drydocks in Singapore for salvaging/scraping operations for the duration of the clean up process. Of course said drydocks will return to guild possession after the operation is done or renewal of the lease in pursuit of new projects.
This is also a great opportunity to reclaim the guild’s own assets as we bring in material. For a reduction we will salvage and return guild materials.
The Crayter Republic’s and Independent Miners Guilds cooperation is essential to the recovery and future prosperity of both groups. I look forward to your response, Guild Master.
In service to the Republic.

I am Bjorn Alexander and have the distinct honor of leading the Guild these days. I will tell you Minister firstly, talking to Crayterians about shipyards is not something I wanted to partake in whatsoever. The treachery of your Republic in favour of your Bretonian overlords in regards to the Aland incident is not something that has been forgotten among our personnel, and thus any deal towards reconciliation and on the road towards trust will come with a steep price tag.
I will not rehash the wound you laid on us, however, but instead acknowledge the fact that Tau 44, of which our factions share combined heritage therein, is secure now due to the payment in Crayterian blood, spilt in defense against the mutant ravagers of Hispania during Operation Orange Hammer, and out of which, I am obliged to thank your service men and women. Though the Guild stood with you in those dark days against that existential threat, the lions share of inflicted pain was borne by the Crayter Republic.
In light of that sacrifice, we will be open to discussing a deal. The Republic still retains historic right-of-use to one drydock aboard Singapore, the addition of 3 more is a massive request. The Guild is willing to allow the leasing of 2 additional drydocks for processing of the in system wreckage, but under the following conditions:
The Crayter Republic will station a fighter and/or bomber squadron in Tau 37 to aid Guild forces in holding the frontier from the Maltese to prevent further incursions. You will be granted access to hangars aboard Falkland Base to maintain this group
The Crayter Republic will relinquish any Guild vessel wreck salvaged in Tau 44 back into our posession free of charge.
The Crayter Republic will transfer ownership of one of its mothballed Zephyr-class Carriers into the posession of the Independent Miners Guild for the defense of the Tau's and train our paramilitary forces in its operation and usage.
The Crayter Republic will continue to prioritize the safety and welfare of the people of the Tau's over the opinions and agenda's of the Houses that surround them.
If those conditions can be met, we will allow the use of two additional drydocks at Singapore beyond the one you currently have right-of-use over.
Bjorn Alexander,
I can understand your frustration with us in a situation that all of us lost something in. With us having to be on the sideline. With other parties acting bloodthirsty and only seemed to seek destruction.
No one is our master, concerning Aland, peace was attempted and failed out of our control. It was known the guild had been working with Gallic Royal Navy as well so I don’t really know who you are calling treacherous here Bjorn. Which we have not forgotten either. Even reaching out to both the Enclave and Kusari, as well as Crayter, in the same communication channel.
We are here to make a deal, and it is agreed 3 may be a large demand. It is open for discussion for 2 drydocks.
The Crayter Republic will station a fighter and bomber wing in Tau 37 to aid Guild forces in holding back Maltese, and will be stationed on Falkland Base.
The Crayter Republic will sell any Guild wreckage back the Guild possession(as to cover towing costs)
The Crayter Republic will NOT transfer any capital vessels for use at this time, but in the future can be discussed as relations improve.
The Crayter Republic will continue to prioritize the safety and welfare of the people of the Tau's over the opinions and agenda's of the Houses that surround them.
The ministry believes these terms are acceptable. We understand our relations with the Guild are shaky at best at the moment, the reason why we will simply not hand over such a large asset such as a warship. In the future the Republic may be open to an agreement of such scale.
In service to the Republic.

Given how you haven't responded, our offer was not received well. The Crayter Republic was already ready but did not put into the original offer that we are ready to provide 100,000,000 credits to the Independent Miners Guild for the lease of the two(2) additional drydocks on top of the already stated offer prior to this transmission. My apologies is missing out on this critical detail earlier, and I hope this is more appealing to the guild.
In service to the Republic.
