Recently, we at the Surplus Requisitioning Centre received a request for a Liberty Gunboat on behalf of one Billy Xae, claiming to be a Junker. His request form was suitably vague as I'm already leaning on denial, but if you have a good reference to give, then I'd reconsider that position.

So, I was flying around in my now sold Junker Bulldog, and I saw a very Very damaged gunboat bearing the
colors of the Liberty Navy, And I thought of something grand. Salvaging it. Scans indicate the gunboat was
abandoned, and that all the Escape pods have been jettisoned, so i would assume the crew is alive and well. After some searching, I found out the ships name, TF7|LNS-Potomac. As a salvage operation would be no doubt expensive, It would be more Profitable for the Republic Of Liberty to sell the wreck of the Potomac...
Quote:The exact name(s) of the ship(s) requested.
TF7|LNS-Potomac (Whats left of it anyways) The ship will be renamed once it has been restored to
Operational order, at which time I will contact this channel with the new Callsign of the Ship. What exactly is being requested?
The ship itself (1x Liberty gunboat) How many are being requested?
0.5, or however much is Left in the wreck Why it is being requested?
This gunboat would provide a interesting salvaging project Why do you refuse to use other weapons or ships to fulfill that same task?
The gunboat would be for personal use and Defense, first I would have to get
it working.... Why should you be trusted and what are you willing to contribute to earn that trust?
Credits. And the fact I usually don't go around shooting people unless they shoot me
first...that or them being a Xeno.
If you have any questions or requests, feel free to contact me.

Essentially, I'm asking whether you would like to see him wielding a Liberty Gunboat or not. Additionally, if you would not, we could cooperate to get "what's left of that gunboat" back to safe port for either reconstruction or scrapping.

Greetings, once again, Liberty Navy
I would like to reopen my earlier request to purchase one used Liberty Gunboat with forward gun. The reasons remain much the same as before. I am willing to negotiate suitable terms. I would also like to inform you that I have no criminal record, take my job of clearing your space of debris very seriously and under no circumstances do I pirate. I hope this helps with respect to the fears of misuse of your equipment.
Here are my reputations with the necessary factions.
If there are any questions, feel free to ask. I am also applying to the Junkers Congress so I hope you understand that my reputation between Liberty forces and myself are of the utmost importance.
Regards Tycus Dekker

Let me tell you about Billy Xae. He's been seduced by that little tart McDowell who ever so recently placed bounties on all you good naval folk. He also recently attacked several of his fellow Junkers. He is no longer welcome among Junkers and is not to be trusted.
The other fellow I don't know. I'll look into this and get back to you as soon as I can.
Tycus has withdrawn his application for a Liberty Gunboat, but I'm curious as to why he's felt the need to do so. He alluded to the reason there, but there was no explanation beyond that.

Greetings
I have spoken with Junker Congress members and I have been informed that they don't accept Liberty Gunboats as official ships. Therefore I am withdrawing this request.
Thank you Mr Andrew Brown for your time, it has been a pleasure and I hope I haven't been too much of a bother.

But of course, that's your business. If it is confidential, then I will not pry, and this matter is closed.
Should any other applicants claim to be affiliated with the Junkers, I will pass on their correspondance to you. This is quite a low-priority matter, and should you have more pressing concerns, a response is not neccessary, only appreciated.
Thankyou for your time, Arbiter.
