We at Synth Foods, provider of the most wonderful food and pastey goodness, have run into some troubles recently. With the increase of violence among our traderoutes, the defense contractors we use have often time run into the situation of being outgunned. With that in mind, we would be greatly interested in purchasing some of your esteemed "Conference" class gunboats. We have long been business partners, with Synth Foods' Biodomes providing food for stations such as Freeport 2 and Freeport 9.
So would it be possible to purchase a few of these wonders of technology? I'm sure we'd be able to give you a better deal on some Biodome replacement parts.
Thank you for the prompt response. At present, we are only interested in a single vessel. If it proves to work out well, we may be interested in additional units. But only the one for the time being. It will use the standard Synth Foods IFF, of course, with registered Mercenary papers, as do all of our escort ships.
Usage wise, escorting our convoys through dangerous territory, such as the Sigmas and Omegas, will be the main concern. Secondly, defense of our corporate holdings, particularly the region around Planet Stuttgart, which sees a good deal of hostility, among others. This would also include any stations that are currently under construction, as well.
