Esteemed partners of the Crown,

I bid you a good day. We are reaching out on this day with a historical request, one that we hope will bring about a new era of cooperation between our three nations at a level unprecedented before.

The Trade and Industry Department has put the most serious considerations for the construction of a munitions factory, that will produce military-grade armament both for export and internal use, on Planet Sprague in the Nottingham (Omega-3) system. This also comes at a time where the threat of raiders is ever-looming, therefore adequate security will be needed in place to prevent any large-scale attacks. For this, we shall call upon the professional and reliable Armed Forces, but also on the highly competent Kaiserliche Rheinwehr for assistance.

Nevertheless, before any concrete plans can be drawn about, we wish to first inquire if Daumann Heavy Constructions, respectively Samura Industries, stand ready to embark on such an endeavour.

With utmost considerations,

Yasmin Kaur
Secretary of State for Trade and Industry
Department for Trade and Industry
Kingdom of Bretonia

Secretary Kaur,

My name is Nobuyuki Hano, I represent AgInfusion, a Samura Industries subsidiary responsible mostly for research and development of agricultural technology within Kusari. Nevertheless, our logistics and escort fleets have available capacity to look for additional endeavours.

However, before we can make definite plans or promsies, I would like to clarify exactly what it is that we can help with. Is it a matter of supplying construction materials, personnel and expertise regarding construction or perhaps are you gauging interest regarding the export of the products manufactured by the factory?

Kind regards,
Nobuyuki Hano
COO, AgInfusion

Mr. Hano,

The Trade and Industry department would be most thankful if Samura, and its subsidiaries respectively, would be able to redirect a fleet of transport ships for this project, whilst we ask that Daumann Heavy Constructions plans and draws up a list of required materials for this planet-side work. Furthermore, while not relevant to the matter at hand, we eagerly welcome any additional information about the production output of such an industrial construction, its ability to operate and produce foreign-designed weaponry, as well as any possible research outlooks for the factory for future expansions.

We also state that the planned recompensation will be much more in-depth than on-the-spot payments, akin to the Lewes Treaty that accords a specific % of production quota towards our partners. We wish to follow this model in this instance as well, however we will leave such talks to be done at the end of the planning phase. We understand that the provided information thus far may be little, so we ask that any concerns be addressed over this channel at earliest so that we may respond to them.

With utmost considerations,

Yasmin Kaur

Secretary Kaur,

We will keep your proposal in mind, however at such an early stage we cannot commit to anything. Setting aside a transport fleet before the estimated quantities of supplies are decided, for such a small operation as ours, is not going to be possible.

Please kindly share more information as soon as more detailed plans are drawn up.

Kind regards,
Nobuyuki Hano

Guten tag frau Kaur

It is with utmost intrigue i receive this message from the esteemed Bretonian authorities. Daumann is always interested in new business ventures, especially profitable ones *he grins*.
As you know, through our work at Portsmouth Shipyard, our previous business ventures has been a major boon to your house, it would be my pleasure to see another venture take flight, so to speak.

I do however need to inquire further on what exactly you require. Are you looking for small arms? Planetside weaponry? Or perhaps Space weaponry?

It is quite difficult to produce a manufacturing plant, there is a lot of details, this is however our speciality and as long as we are given general instructions on what is desired, we can surely come up with a plan that is within the desired budgets.

There's also a question of scale. How many do you see employed at this site? are we talking 3-5,000 or 25,000?

Now let us talk budgets, as i am sure you have one, however generous it might be. So we should be clear where the lines are drawn and where the generosity ends. Depending on the size and scale of the desired operation, this may cost billions of credits and take years to build. Are there sufficient political stability to ensure funding? Are there any loud voices objecting to these plans that we should be wary of?

It is also of importance to clarify chain of custody and security clearance for employees of said plant. Both during and after construction. Due to corporate interests, any such endeavour from Daumanns side will require Daumann workers planetside. We insist that our own employees will do the general machine production, building, installation, intergration and calibration. Machines specifically made for Bretonian designs should be calibrated and co-designed by your preferred Bretonian manufacturer. We will however deal with the integration of said systems. The native population can largely assist in general construction. You mentioned foreign designs, and as such, Daumann will insist on using Daumann employees for any Rheinland based designs. Since we are a major manufacturing company in Rheinland, we would like to ascertain that our corporate and design secrets are taken care of by our own people planetside for the duration of operation of the production plant. For non-Rheinland foreign designs, we ask the government to provide liason between the existing manufacturer and us, so we can adapt the production line(s).

I am sure that you are interested in native employment, on Planet Sprague. i have some suggestions for this, but we can come back to that at a later date, if you don't mind.

I think this would benefit us both, as it would maintain Daumanns interests, whilst providing a trained staff to rapidly deploy the plant. It would also lower costs, as staff training would be reduced and time of delivery shorter, as experienced staff would already be in place. Reducing the time of deployment.

Naturally, any and all Rheinland military designs that Daumann may or may not be able to manufacture will require a special permit from the Rheinland Authorities and Rheinland Military to produce, as such we will not be manufacturing said designs on this proposed plant, nor make the tools or accommodations for it.

With utmost respect,

Kurt Reber
CEO of Daumann Heavy Constructions

After going through the proposed treaty, along with our legal department, we have come with the following alterations and or additions. Our proposal will ensure a strong basis for support and productivity in the years ahead. It will also reduce downtime. Our employees are ready to be shuttled over to Planet Sprague to begin production as soon as the red tape has been dealt with.

There is of course a need for us to have our own facilities on the planet to provide the best possible service as, as we suggest in the treaty. We expect our humble demand to be met.

[Samura Heavy Industries]

To: Yasmin Kaur and Kurt Reber, Generaldirector of DHC
From: Shinjuku Station - New Tokyo
Subject: Construction of a munitions factory
Date: 24/05/830 A.S.[/align]


Konnichiwa Yasmin Kaur and Kurt Reber, Generaldirector of DHC,

Samura is active, and our communication departments have been aware of this promising project, in which we are interested in participating.

However, what we really need is to establish a fairer percentage in the final participation between Damann and Samura, because we have understood that 10% fell well short of what our estimate suggests.

So, this is our only claim, that is, if this participation is adjusted to a more accurate level for the Samura, we will be ready to start the activities by sending the required amount of ships to provide the material that is requested of us.

Therefore, we are attentive to perceive a new proposal regarding what we have mentioned, so that we can formalize the final contract.

No more...

Sayōnara,

Karl Kamimura

Esteemed representatives,

Following many weeks of talks, the Trade and Industry Department will offer an increase to 20% on Samura's receival of armaments and weaponry for export. In addition, the percentages for Daumann and the Kingdom of Bretonia will be reduced by 5% respectively to accommodate this shift.

We eagerly anticipate your reply on the matter.
