The Gas Miners Guild intends to commission a Kusari Gunboat under the command of former Guild Master Marieka Kyieto. Due to its formidable reputation on the battlefield, the gunboat will be named after the Karura (迦楼羅), an enormous fire-breathing humanoid creature with the head of an eagle. The Karura Maru will protect GMG and Kishiro operations in the Sigmas and Okinawa. As you know, the blueprints are owned by Kusari Naval Forces and in order for Kishiro to begin construction, they require clearance from High Command.
The GMG will pay a premium of 25 000 000 credits to Kishiro Technologies for construction of the Karura Maru, and any necessary licensing fees imposed by High Command.
Konnichiwa honorable Guild Master, we would hope you will not be offended by our intrusion on this channel, but The Shogun has put your proposal in front of us, and asked for our consultation on the matter, and while we have no problem with the Guild acquiring a Kusari Naval Gunboat, we have noticed that there is currently no formal document recognizing the relations between the Guild and Kusari. We wish to remedy this situation. So, we would like to see the resumption of discussions between the GMG and the Kusari Government on the permanent legal status of the GMG in Kusari and the Sigmas.
We offer the Gunboat in hopes that it will be seen as a good will gesture on behalf of the Kusari government, in hopes that the GMG will resume final status negotiations.
The treaty has been a major topic of deliberation in the GMG Executive Board for months now. We will accept the gunboat in good spirits. Hopefully an agreement can be reached in the near future.
The premium has been payed to Kishiro Technologies.
