Guten tag honourable Hogoshas,
You may wonder why are the Unioners contacting you. We didn't contact each others since back when we were allies of the Corsairs, and even then, we didn't have much to say to each others. I might have an offer that interests you.
This station is Leipheim, our old meeting point when it came to artifact smuggling. The base today virtually is inactive, except for a small group of people who actively fight the Republican convoys of the sector. It's remote position makes it one of our most well-hidden base, and I can confirm that practically no member of the RRA is aware of it's existence for one major reason:
This is also where we are stocking our old artifacts surplus from our old alliance. The memories of the First Nomad War are very present in our society, and it is an abomination that should never be repeated again. It is one of our main reasons of our dissociation with the Corsairs, as you may be aware. But I believe that, as you daily handle artifacts, you can make out which one can be classed as dangerous and which are just shiny trinklets.
I also know that many, many people are ready to pay a lot of credits to get their hands on these shiny trinklets. Through the years, Artifacts smuggling represented maybe a small profit for us, but any ways to fund ourselves cannot be disregarded these days. Sadly, we are actually running low on our reserves, and this is why I am contacting you today, Hogoshans. We would appreciate if you would come to Munich and buy our artifacts to resell them in Kusari. As you may notice, this is a win/win situation, as you buy our shiny trinklets for an extremely low price and resell them to your house. It is also less dangerous than travelling through Sigma-19 to the Hawaii, since the GMG are probably aware of your commercing with the Corsairs there. Also, if you bring us enough supplies so we may take care of ourselves, we would also be less dependent on the Junkers, if you know what I mean.
