Shikoku, F 6/7, by the lanes from Deshima to Galileo jumpgate.
Hello and welcome to the Impala station.
This station is the joint effort of several hundreds of workers, leaded by Loto and Kitsu.
Blue Mackerel Industries is the materialized dream of two brothers, running from the aggressive corporatism of some. After obtaining a licence to operate in Shikoku from Samura,
BMI starts his dream project of an own station, with equal salaries, rights, vacations, and comfort.
Here we treat all workers with love and care, Impala stands against the synth paste market who damaged the real food, and instead grows they'r own crops, and we manufacture our own fuel. In Impala, we have several facilities like a full gym, a Olympic pool, and healthcare facilities for all the workers. We have a small hangar to repair our own vessels with some tools and parts.
We state as a business dedicated to the trade of commodities, and the mining, transport, and refining of platinum. Come and visit, we will be in love to accommodate you and make business or simply, take a cup of tea and talk, we can take contracts from diverse factions, send communications to miss Loto.
After some work on the Kamamone, we finally made it fly, the mining array works well, but needs some adjustements. I fried some ore with it sadly, but managed to bring several tonnes to the station. The team will have to unload it soon and refinery team can start the smelting process. I will have to fly with it to get a new powerplant also for the vessel, it needs some thuster power, and a new automatic mining scanner.
I had some troubles, you do remember that important cargo you sent me to pick up at Crete from a supplier? well, I will have a long delay.
Looks like this floating scrap we call transport, yes, the old Stork we bought "so cheap, it would be dumb to not buy it" had a faulty engine and we had to manually float outside the ship and disconnect the pipes before it could explode. Engine malfunction started after crossing the Malvada cloud, luckily we had time to stop and float nearby planet Dor and Ravenna Invicta station.
We sent a system broadcast mayday signal, and luckily a good soul came for us, you know how scared we were? we are mere civilians in gods knows where, and we feared for our lives. A ship from the corsairs, came for us, IFF reads where "Deterrence". We managed to bring him a towing connection and luckily we managed to get into Tripoli Shipyard thanks to him, he told us to taste "the good Rum in Crete" and to send a communication to a so call station "Ravenna Invicta" when all is done for possible business opportunities.
You will have to wire me 150.000 credits, thats the repair cost this guys want. They are not really happy with it, and they say "we are idiots for bringing this scrap here". But they will repair it anyway, regardless, all here is expensive, good food, but so expensive.
As soon as the ship is operative, I will pick up the cargo and return home, tell my brother I love him.
As you may know, in the past two weeks we had some stand-by work in the ore processing units A to D. This was done to increase its production after a market bust.
Right now our house, our Impala is producing Platinum again with a 99.5% of purity. Numbers are on test phase, so we are expecting any irregularity.
That does mean we can produce more with a little less ore, so we can afford to buy All platinum ore for 50 credits the unit. I am sure, our affiliates and you, my beautyfull workers will love that news, more credits to share between us all.
I want to announce, proudly, that after months of hard work and enjoying a rise on our productivity, we have a steady and better influx of Platinum.
We started the build of a shipyard fabrication node, we will mainly focus on the high end parts like avionics, and small parts. It is expected from us to start the manufacturing in the following days.
I am proudly announcing that our new shipyard is working non stop and we are maintaining a constant flow of commodities to serve Kusari, and they'r benefactors.
Our workers managed to make that shipyard one of the most efficient in the area, and so, we are now having better prices and faster manufacturing. Albeit, we are still working on that shiny platinum Kusari needs.
List of prices
Propulsion systems = sell at 9500 credits the unit. Avionics systems = sell at 8500 credits the unit. Platinum = sell at 90 credits the unit.
Quantum multiplexors = buy at 38 credits the unit. Optronics = buy at 75 credits the unit. Superconductors = buy at 32 credits the unit. High temperature alloy = buy at 70 credits the unit. Ship hull panels = buy at 25 credits the unit. Engine components = buy at 40 credits the unit. Niobium = buy at 142 credits the unit.
