Je suis Frank Zacharie, Colonel of Societe Militaire Privee. The SMP is a group of fighters that participated in the Gallic Civil War and now we decided to expand on the other side of the mine field.
We observed the current situation in the Taus sector and we also know about your strained relations with your former allies, the Kusarians. We know that your ISE units can't move to Kusari anymore and that's why we think that you might need our help. You see, your allies, the IMG| are also attacked by the Outcasts and the economy of your nation is in danger. Our allies, Le Conseil is fighting in Gallia and we know that they helped you a bit here in the Taus. We are here to help but of course, we also have to eat something.
Without making this a huge story, here's what I have to offer:
We will act like a police force in following systems: Taus (23, 29, 31, 37), Orkney, Kyushu
We need a list with the banned commodities.
We will help your forces when you are attacked or when you attack hostile targets.
We need a list with your known enemies.
Our Trade & Exploration Wing can undertake the duties of your ISE units.
I will let you set the prices for these services and we can negotiate.

Every help is welcome as long as it doesn't go help the other side at some point... You can consider it a done deal. As we agreed earlier, your job will be to move around the Taus and Orkney (without Kyushu). The prohibited commodities... If they can be called that... Are Cardamine and Slaves. Any and all craft carrying those are to be halted and shot if they refuse to cooperate. As per... reward... You can stay in Tau 44 and benefit from the amenities on the same rights as fleet personnel. You will also be receiving monetary bonuses on-the-spot during or after combat.
