I must admit, i am gravely concerned. This action will severly disrupt Gateway Interstellar trade and cause shortages in Bretonia proper.
I humbly ask that all Gateway) tagged vessels be allowed to pass unharmed through Omega 7 and to carry on normal trade.
At no time can we carry war materials out of Rheinland as these are already disallowed by the Rheinwer and goods that we carry to Rheinland are bound for our friends in the ALG or other non threating items.
As you know we are one of IMG's primary shippers and as their goods and ore are not allowed into Rheinland we cannot carry these also.
Gateway Interstellar will take full responsability for its own vessels passing through this zone, all we ask is not to be harmed by any Colonial forces while doing so.
Trusting that you will find in our favour,
Yours aye
I am deeply sorry for the late reply, but things are a bit difficult here.
I am tempted to allow your men the trade with Rheinland under the following restrictions:
1. You will not carry any materials that could be used against us and our allies in this area.*
2. You will not supply any other, then the IMG base in the Omega 7 system.
3. You will fill at least 25% (or 500 units if the vessel in question has a smaller cargo hold) of the vessels cargo hold with Food rations, Water or Consumer goods, which have to be delivered to Freistadt.
*The following are deemed to be war materials:
-Military Vehicles
-Light Arms
-Engine Components
-H-Fuel
-Deuterium
-Plutonium
-Nuclear Devices
-Niobium and Niobium ore
We will in exchange allow you to move towards Rheinland if you meet the above mentioned requirements. You are also welcome to move refugees out of the war zone. We will treat your vessels like every other if you fail to comply with one or all of the points.
Bear in mind that the Colonial Republic will not damage your property or harm your men, as long as they deal according to the above mentioned, but we are also not responsible for their safety in any way.
I am sorry that we are forced to use such drastic measures, but at this moment we can not allow to loose any ground.

Thankyou for the reply,
But i still need some clarification on this. Gateway Interstellar already supply IMG bases such as Aland shipyard and Freistadt with basic commoditities for day to day running and to put a further burden on us is a bit extreme.
The list of war materials you have supplied is already open to restrictions,
Military vehicals are already embargoed by Rheinland and therefore we cannot ship these anyway.
Same with smallght arms
Engine components, H-fuel and nuclear devices are vital to Bretonia and are, so far, not under restriction if you have the right permits to carry them. I emplore you to reconsider these items for Gateway) tagged ships to ship these into Bretonia.
Plutonium, alas, needs someone of, shall we say, a shady nature to carry as the supplier is in Kusari and we all know Gateway) cannot ship from there
Deuterium is a commodity that we do not useually carry.
Gateway)Carpethia, a Royal Liner specialy fitted out to move refugees, is always available to assist in the movement of any personel that request transport out of the conlfict zone.
Bretonia needs to trade to be able to continue to be a stable house so i, again, emplore you to allow Gateway) tagged ships freedom to do what we do best. Trade.
We understand the problem which you and Bretonia are facing, but at the current time we are not able to do much. I can however offer you that the Colonial Integral Systems Engineering supplies you with the necessary goods.
As I understand it, most of the problems do not only concern your corporation directly, they have a huge impact on Bretonia as a whole. I could imagine that you have certain ties in the Bretonian government, so you should encourage them to open diplomatic talks with with our Republic.
I can not do much more for you, without overstepping my bounds.

I appreciate the reply Lt. Commander, and i can sympathise with the situation that you and the rest of the Colonial Forces are under at the moment with the situation in Omega 7.
However,
I must get safe passage for Gateway Interstellar ships. Without wanting to go over your head i must, therefore, contact the Colonial Government and the IMG Guildmasters to try and secure passage for Gateway Interstellar.
I, and Gateway Interstellar, thankyou for taking the time to reply to this comm

I have moved down from Java Station (T23) to Friedstadt (O7) to assist with the relief effort and to provide assistance as a Attack/Defence Carrier Platform for =CR= IMG and Allies alike. I have good relations with many of the BAF/HMS (I know it surprising to hear this from an IMG officer but I am an independant still) so I can move reasonably freely (with permission of course).
I have seen increased activity in this area and loads of Heavy RM Dreadnaughts in the mining area....Please be aware many are seen docking at Elbich and Briezan Mining Facilities and will be causing a hazard to Traders...
I will assist all in need however my prime concern at the moment is the Stolen Zephers from our base under the banner of Hessians as we want them recovered as soon as possible.... It is embarissing for us..
If I can assist in any way then please let me know...
