High Command,
As your intelligence officers no doubt informed you, Rostock Base in Omega-15 exports diamonds. As I am aware that a full-scale embargo between Rheinland and Bretonia is in effect, I want to apply for an exception to this law.
The TriStar is currently funding several Bounty Hunter operations in the omicrons as well as within house space and in Omega-41, Omega-11, Omega-7, Omega-5 and the surrounding systems. These operations are costly, and seeing that diamonds is the only real exporting commodity of our bases, I deeply encourage you to allow the TriStar to haul diamonds through Rheinland space and through the embargo to Liberty. It is in our shared interest to keep the Hessians, LWB and the odd corsair at bay. Not to mention the hordes of those ghastly creatures in the Omicrons - vile beings I do believe Rheinland Government knows all too well...
Furthermore, I do understand that Rheinland and Liberty are at war and thus an embargo is a necessity, I still would like to point out that diamonds is a luxury consumer commodity which in no way improve Liberty's ability to wage war. In other words, a Bounty Hunter transport hauling Diamonds from Rostock to Liberty will have no influence on the ongoing conflict.
Thank you for the request to export goods from the House of Rheinland into Libertonian territory. We dont get many of these. The usual riffraff seem to enjoy trying to ship goods into liberty without asking and then complain after we vent their ships.
While it is indeed polite of you to ask before taking matters into your own hands, I am afraid we are going to have to deny your request. The Export of any goods other them human cargo into Liberty is strictly forbidden for a reason. Indeed, while you might think that shipping diamonds would have no impact upon the war, it is actually more important to the war effort then you would ever know.
I am sorry that you had to revive this answer so abruptly and I do thank you for taking the time to ask us about this matter. I would like to point out that Kusari also has a large demand for diamonds and we have no quarrel with you trading with them.
Rheinland Military High Command Officer, Vizeadmiral Hans Putzkammer

Thank you for your swift reply. I accept your refusal, and as you say, I have no insights into the strategic importance of diamond trade in your war efforts. I will make sure not to violate your commands.
