I am Paul du Champ of the legion, speaking on behalf of Lord Felanis.
In the past few months, The Legion has endured a well enjoyed comfort within the bounds of our business partners Deep Space Engineering, enjoying the comforts and qualities of Planet Pittsburgh.
We are hearby requesting continued co-operation between the Legion and Les Liberty for our trade vessels in the form of access to the trade facilities of Planet Manhattan, Planet Colorado and Planet Los Angeles.
In return, the Legion is able to move gallic materials not permitted by the Royalist Government to be shipped to facilities of the Les Libertonian Government's choosing.
Currently available goods to be shipped are as follows:
Your business dealings with Deep Space Engineering are unfortunately of little consequence to your political dealings with the Republic of Liberty. The expansion of your relationship with the Republic from the casual friendship with one firm to a formal friendship with the entire house is both a step too far and a step too fast.
The Republic of Liberty does not want to be associated with, or seen to be condoning the acts of the Gallic Brigands within or outside of our house. By all means, continue and expand your business relationship with Deep Space Engineering. But, to my mind, this is just business.
Therefore, we will have to deny your request for docking rights on three of our major planets.
- William Hawthorne, Secretary of State for Trade and Economics.
