L'Ordre,
Congratulations on your recent relations improvement with the House of Gallia, perhaps the first House to openly welcome you, if what I heard is correct. The Alien threat is one we believe are ill-prepared for in great part due to our isolation: you have had decades to prepare and build up an effective iron fist against the fleshwarpers and mindeaters, while our House currently is playing catch-up, yet I still believe our economy can be a great benefit to you.
That is to say, an army is nothing without its rations and logistics, and I firmly believe in open communications. As they say, 'it doesn't hurt to ask'.
We of the Zurich Accord are a Gallic interest group aligned with the Unione Corse, with a pletora of experience in discreet shipping. Our recent skirmishes with the Outcasts have also revealed to us the depth of the Omicrons, and the often dire living standards it involves. Not only that, but we have Sirius wide contracts and business partners that let us get what you need. From Chartres' Sirian famous Bio-Neural Processors, to munitions and firearms of the highest quality, as well as the simple foods and goods that are necessary to stay fully operational.
We are vaguely aware of a fortress system for the Order with very strict and controlled traffic. We very much understand that we are outsiders, but we have opened our doors to you. Perhaps the same could be done as a trial, to see if it would be beneficial in the long run? After all, it is doubtful that our corporations such as EFL Oil and Machinery and Ile-De-France Shipping will openly dare to traverse such remote regions.
What do you say, partenaires? If you have terms, we will gladly negotiate them with you. If you reject this outright, we shall also understand, though you may be left wondering what could have been.
Yours truly,
Camus

Greetings. To introduce myself: Grand Admiral Michal Golanski, Commanding Officer of the ‘Black Fleet’. Due to my years long experience with Gallic authorities and other factions amongst the High Command, I will be responding to all high profile communications. I believe I met some of your pilots in Languedoc. I was aboard the O.C.V. Spectre.
I am acutely aware of Unione Corse’s modus operandi and services it provides. I watched your rise from more of a… covert syndicate towards the Minarchist party within the Gallia and now sovereign rulers of Provence system. Impressive resume, to be sure. We will always welcome anyone willing to co-operate on the subject of Nomad menace and permit us unhindered into their space for this very purpose.
You are once again correct in assuming that we take great deal of concern towards who is permitted to fly and operate within our haven. We found that the only way we can maintain semblance of security and civilization in far reaches of Omicrons is to carefully screen each group prior to approving their operations. It has kept our space largely free of piracy, stupid thrill seeking tourists and formed a better framework to deter hostile infiltrators. However, we can always come to an agreement as you had said. Your offer is now being discussed by the rest of the High Command, but I expect a positive outcome shortly.

Grand Admiral,
Excellent news. When the word is given, Operation "Moo Expeditions" shall begin. Provide us with coordinates and a list of desired goods, and we shall assist in whichever way we can, discreetly and efficiently.
Yours truly,
Camus
