Greetings. The name is Fro. I'm an independent mercenary working out of Liberty, though most of my time is spent in deep space. As of recent I am carrying out an anonymous contract against a certain group of Outcasts. I fly a Raven's Talon, but the thing has taken quite a beating over the years. I wish to exchange my ship for a Nyx, in my opinion it would be more applicable for my field of work, and for further exploration of Sirius. Not to mention the handling is superb.
I thank you for your time and your consideration, please reply at your earliest convenience.
This is James Moore, the officer in charge of Ministry of Armaments' outer equipment distribution agency.
We are sorry to inform you that new government policy dictates harsher terms in regards to distribution of Colonial ships and technology which are not to be distributed as a rule, but as exceptions.
Since you are operating in the Taus merely temporarily and not permanently, we find it neither useful to the Republic nor prudent in general to issue you our military surplus equipment.
Good luck with your pursuits. We appreciate anyone who aids us against the Outcast threat for free or under contract. You will have a home in the Taus if you one day wish it.
Moore out.
