Dear Esteemed Leaders Of the Rhineland Military High Command,
I do not know how to put this bluntly, but i will try anyways.
I Require Access to The jumpgates Leading to Rhineland Space.
The Reason I do not have the Required clearances is because i was shut out by your Office once they Found out the ship that i would be piloting Thru said jumpgates. Its a Corvo Class Zoner Deep Space Explorer. As it is Classified as a Capital Ship, i was Recommended by a Peer to Contact you about this matter. So before you Delete this message, please Hear me thru.
I am Andrew Shepard, Captain of the Research Ship Apollo. This Ship is a Newly Constructed Corvo Class Zoner Cruiser, built At Corfu Station. I Have yet to determine How many Crew will be on my Ship, but it will be Estimated around 70 to 150 People, Ranging from Ex-Military Security Forces to Science Teams and Support Personnel. We will Carry Limited Ship armaments( 6 Basic Cruiser Turrets, 2 basic Cruiser Missile Turrets), 3 Military Grade Exploration Vehicles, with most of their Armaments Removed, and some Hand Weapons Ranging from Hand Pistols to P90's and G36E's. Our Goal is to document the Sirius Sector To the Fullest, And Weed out some of the most Confusing Concepts, Such As the Legend of the Daam K'Vosh.
Now that you know some things about my crew, Here is my proposal:
1. Will Not Dock With Any Planet or Station In Rhineland without Approval from a Rhineland Military Operative, or in a Real Emergency
2. Will Be Cooperative to Rhineland Laws And Regulations
3. Will be willing to be escorted through Rhineland if need be.
4. Will Be Willing to pay 10.000.000 Sirius Credits for all Licensing Fees
In Exchange for:
1. Flight Thru Rhineland
2. Information on Points of Interest for Researchers in Rhineland and Surrounding Systems (If applicable)
Well, that's all Ive got to say.
Shepard Out

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

SUBJECT:RE: Jumpgate access codes and roaming clearance for Rheinland sovereign territory
Sehr geehrter Herr Shepard,
The Rheinland Military High Command has recieved and processed your request.
RMHC is in harmony with your proposed terms with an addition to the list:
According to the Rheinland Military Field Manual, the Research vessel Apollo is to keep a 10 k distance to any inhabited planet within Rheinland sovereign territory, unless given clearance to enter a lower orbit.
Rheinland Military Field Handbook V2402817 Wrote:........
Ships larger than gunboat class are to keep a 10k distance from
every planet inside Rheinland territory.
........
The attatched codes and clearance documents are only valid with the ship ID codes of the research vessel Apollo.
Any duplication, reproduction or alteration of the given codes are being taken as hostile acts against the sovereignity of Rheinland itself.
The punishments range from fines, incarceration and up to execution for high treason towards the Rheinland Vaterland.
Hochachtungsvoll,
[font=Lucida Console] Oberfeldwebel Hans Meyer
