Good day,
We couldn't help but notice that the all-important Supremacy project has stalled right before the finish line. The initiator of the project - James Horatio Creed has sadly. deceased. As his second-hand man and secondary brain behind the project, I am now offering the Crayter Republic and the 46th Fleet to take over the finishing stage.
I have intimate knowledge of the project, and the First Armada has now more than distinguished itself and proven its worth in wielding the vessel.
This is the right time for technological advancement as the Insurgency campaign draws to a close. The trade highway between Liberty and Crayter is nearing its completion, Supremacy will be a symbol of cooperation between our Republics, and we are the ones who want to lead it's completion. All we need is your confirmation and we will get it to the finish line.

Admiral Van Leer,
I must say, I wasn't expecting to receive a communication from you. Though, I'm glad you have done so.
In light of the request, as laid you in your communique; not to mention our of respect to the former Fleet Admiral, I think it best that the Project continues under the purview of the Forty Sixth. I think we both know that is ultimately what James would have wanted.
I'm sure this will likely come as disappointing to you, Admiral, but I would be open to collaborating in the near future, should such an opportunity arise.
In service to the Republic,
-

I fully respect your decision, in the end, it doesn't matter what personnel will operate the vessel as long as it stays within the Liberty Navy. When I came up with the idea of joining the technology of our Republics I always knew the symbolism of it would be more significant than one admiral or fleet. I will be happy that the idea and efforts of James Horatio Creed, my own, Liberty's engineers, the haulers we have commissioned and the Crayter engineering teams will see the light of day after all this time. It will symbolize the cooperation of the Republics of Crayter and Liberty. If you excuse my vanity, it will also help immortalize the legacy of myself and Creed as my personal silver lining.
And, let's face it - it will be much safer in your more conservative hands. I would probably order this majestic symbol of peaceful cooperation to the vanguard of the Omicron Nu campaign on its maiden voyage after all.
I think the perfect timing for the unveiling would be the planned Cortez => Coronado jump gate christening ceremony, the First Armada is ready to provide the increased capacity of our PEGASUS Division if it would help push the timelines towards that (as of yet unconfirmed) date to the 46th or Crayter should it be requested.
Good luck, I can't wait to finally see it leave the drydock after all this time!

FADM,
The situation has changed - the engineers I originally commissioned to design the vessel alongside Creed have been in touch with me personally and are ready to work with the First Armada to complete the vessel. Much like me, they want to have the project completed to showcase the legacy of me, Creed and Crayter as soon as possible. As you probably know, the First Armada now leads Liberty in the cooperative effort with the Crayter Republic, where our vessels were the only representatives in the recent military exercises. Our PEGASUS division has also completed the Willard restoration and has spare capacity.
On top of that, you probably know Creed's daughter - Libby Harrison - has achieved the Captain rank within the First Armada, it would be more than fitting that the Armada she serves in would commandeer the vessel. You probably know James Horatio Creed has been my closest friend and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that this is in fact what he would have wanted.
In short, we are locked and loaded to have mine, Creed's and Crayter's project completed within days to weeks upon the authorisation - I believe more staff that has worked on the Supremacy project is now part of the First Armada than 46th Fleet itself, we are working closely with Crayter and the ship's original engineers. All you have to do is give to go-ahead and we will make sure our Republics have the symbol of mutual cooperation up and running before you can blink.

Greetings - we have a little update - after a conversation with the engineers we have come to the conclusion that the Supremacy designs are already outdated - the process did take multiple years.
We have decided to go a different route - a brand new vessel on the same concept - Synergy of Crayter and Liberty Technology will be designed and constructed. We are hereby officially retracting the request for the Supremacy Project - our new project will start soon, in cooperation with Crayter, and the Original Engineers and Designers of the Supremacy. I am sure you have no objections to this and to making Liberty and our bond with Crayter even stronger.
