Good day sirs and madams of the EDGE battlegroup.
I'm talking to you as the currently designated Zoner representative of Freeport 10. You see, we've been receiving conflicting reports about your activities in the Taus, or more specifically, regarding your use of the Freeport here. Far be it our job to pry into your private activities, but when the safety and reputation of me and my fellow residents' home is called into question, I'm afraid questions have to be asked.
Of course, the most important question is, how does our Freeport play into your activities, and what do you plan on using it for? Anything besides that is mere trivialities in comparison. If you wish to open further dialogue, it can of course be done via this channel. I've already briefly talked with the EDGE|Perun; this is more a continuation of those talks. We hold good relations with our neighbours as one of our highest priorities on Freeport 10, and as our neighbours, that includes you. I hope we can conclude this business quickly and on good terms.
We at the EDG Enterprise feel very strongly, that the reports to which you refer are a bunch of lies and blackmail fed to you by the wicked Outcast nation. We are not now, and haven't ever used the Freeport 10 as a staging ground for our operations, nor have we ever violated the NFZ of the Freeport (which can't be said about our adversaries). At this moment, we have two Manta fighters docked on the Freeport, which were damaged in a skirmish, and are currently in cue for repairs and service by the Freeport's technicians.
As for our activities in the Taus, the Enterprise is currently performing a recon mission of the Alpha-Tau passage, in order to gather information on the Outcast-IMG conflict. We have no plans on using the Freeport 10 in the future in any different manner than occasional repair and resupply of our ships. However, should the Enterprise come to an agreement with IMG and deploy an EDG (Emergency Defense Group) in the Taus, we will then address the Freeport authorities with a request to discuss Freeport docking rights of certain individuals.
Should you have any further queries please don't hesitate to ask, we will monitor this channel.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
All I can say is I am sincerely grateful for the tact and consideration your company has exhibited in the choice of its docking points. I do wish to note that so long as your purposes are not military, your captains, crews and pilots are more than welcome aboard to buy provisions, visit the bars or seek entertainment. You have the same rights and privileges as any other visitor.
I must remind you however, that doing the above then unmooring and moving on to Alpha would be constituted as 'staging', even if you had not refuelled or rearmed here. Also, after you have concluded your military activities, it would not be permitted to immediately dock on the Freeport for repairs or flee there to escape hostiles. I know you have reaffirmed that you do not do this, but these are merely the rules that all our guests must abide by. Oh, and it would be easiest if visitors came across in shuttles or fighters - recently we've been having increasing trouble mooring larger ships.
