<ul><li> | <ul><li>The Engine Components business has become very difficult. We used to be the exclusive supplier to Bretonia. Kishiro has become a strong adversary since the 80-Years War. I guess we'll have to cut our costs to remain competitive. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>It's a very difficult journey between here and Rheinland, especially when you are transporting something as alluring as Bretonian Gold. The Red Hessians and Corsairs will be waiting for us in Omega-3 and Omega-7 - you can be sure of that. And before that, you'll have the Mollys to deal with. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Most of our business in Bretonia is with Southampton and Scarborough. We bring various raw materials mined in Rheinland to those stations, such as Cobalt and Copper. At least New London is a more civilized stop than those grossly polluted sites. Bretonia should learn from Rheinland and clean up its industrial waste. <p> | ||

<ul><li> | <ul><li>We only do business with established, reliable shippers like Bowex. Gateway is a brash upstart company that has unwisely chosen to partner with the renegade IMG. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>The highest value cargoes shipped between Rheinland and Bretonia are Diamonds, Super Alloy and Gold. Corsairs and Red Hessians plague us the entire way. House space isn't so bad, but for the leg through the Omegas, you'd better hire security. Lots of it. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>This is Republican's main terminating point in Bretonia. We deliver Engine Components and High-Temperature Alloys from Berlin and Dresden. The rise of the Corsairs in Bretonia has persuaded us to let the locals handle the cargo for the last leg to New London and Newcastle. We get enough of those Hispanic pirates in the Omegas. <p> | ||

<ul><li>Republican | <ul><li>Sigma-13 is more dangerous now than at any time since it was reopened after the 80-Years War. The Outcasts and Corsairs grow stronger everyday. They cannot be bribed or negotiated with like most criminal organizations. Republican ships that make the short hop from Mainz to Naha still have to run with a heavy escort as a result. The nebula blinds sensors, which makes an ambush hard to spot. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Republican runs many goods to and past this station. Naha sits on one of the busiest trade routes in all of Sirius, between Rheinland and Kusari. Kusari has a lot of high quality, high-tech goods. Rheinland has a lot of raw minerals which Kusari is severely lacking in. The potential for trade isn't lost on a shipping company like ours. <p> | ||

<ul><li> | <ul><li>I'm here to pick up a shipment of salvage bound for the Oder Shipyards. It may seem odd to reuse over two centuries old ship parts, but keep in mind that in space virtually nothing decays. Anything the GMG haven't shot up back then is potentially refurbishable, and many parts are still compatible. The Junkers have made off with many small parts, but the market for Rheinland capital ship components isn't that big. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>If the GMG do turn this base into a small shipyard, that will be good for us. Rheinland is the logical choice to supply them with most of the goods such a yard needs in volume, such as Basic Alloys and Engine Components. <p> | ||

<ul><li> | <ul><li>The only reason Samura doesn't buy all of their Industrial Materials from Mainz is to save more of their ships from being lost. The Corsairs and Outcasts have become quite troublesome in that system, and the GMG could not care less about the fate of Samura transports.<p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>I'm headed to Roppongi after this. If I'm lucky, maybe some Golden Chrysanthemums will show up at the bar. They've always got extra Cardamine to share.<p> | ||

<li> | <li>Berlin is the Diamond-trading center of Sirius. They're mined-out in Dresden and Omega-11. Daumann and Kruger ship them in here, where the initial sorting and cutting takes place. Then we ship them to the far corners of the universe for use in Luxury Goods or Mining Machinery. <p><p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li>Berlin | <li>New Berlin produces most of Rheinland's Consumer Goods. My ship makes the runs to the other home planets on a regular basis. Unioners are always waiting for us in Hamburg. In Stuttgart it depends on the Red Hessian activity level. <p> | ||

<ul><li>Republican | <ul><li>This yard consumes many materials from distant places. Republican transports Superconductors and Super Alloys from Liberty, and Optical Chips from Kusari. Gold is shipped in from Bretonia. The rest of the materials are locally procured. <p><p> | ||

<li> | <li>Republican supplies Oder with its basic needs. Berlin is the cheapest place to buy most of those items in the immediate area. You have to be careful of Unioners and the like, even in the shadow of Berlin. They will attack any Republican ship within range. <p><p> | ||

</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>From this base, we supply the Alster Shipyard with some of its key raw materials -- Engine Components and Polymers, to be precise. It is not a hugely profitable run, and the Unioners make it difficult for Republican ships. <p><p> | ||

<li> | <li>My ship specializes in Side Arms shipments to the various Federal Police locations within Rheinland space. Republican is the exclusive supplier of Arms to government bases within Rheinland. Daumann Side Arms are unfortunately not used in other areas of Sirius in great numbers; Detroit dominates the export market. <p><p> | ||

Line 735: | Line 753: | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Republican has enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with Daumann. We view the ALG/Gateway/IMG partnership as a serious challenge to the proper way of doing business in Rheinland. After all, two of these companies are of Bretonian origin. It would be a grave mistake for Kruger to join forces with those foreigners.<p><p> | ||

<ul><li>We | <ul><li>We must contend with many pirates on our journey to Liberty. The Unioners await our ships in Hamburg and Bering. If we take the alternative route through Hudson, we often encounter Xenos. I'm not sure which are worse. Both groups represent the dregs of humanity. <p> | ||

<ul><li> | <ul><li>This is as far as Republican goes. The Trade Lane south of here and the Dresden system are off limits to our ships. Too dangerous out there. Daumann hauls its minerals and alloys to the Ring. We pick up the cargo there for the remainder of the journey to Liberty or the other houses. <p><p> | ||

<li>We don't | <li>Just dropping off some supplies and Side Arms from Berlin. We don't deliver them as often as we used to, since the government can't afford to pay us. But we can't let the police run out of Water and air now, can we? <p><p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>We don't get the Unioners so bad in this part of the system. They prefer to operate out of the Ruhrfeld. Guess that's where their Jump Hole to Hamburg must be. <p> | ||

<li> | <li>Hamburg is practically a company town of Republican's. We created this city, and have employed many of its workers over the years. Now they resent us, and blame Republican for all of their problems. We cannot pay workers so much money and give them long vacations yet also remain competitive with Kusari and Liberty. <p><p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li>Hamburg | <li>The most lucrative Commodities in Hamburg are Diamonds and Silver. Inbound cargos come in from New Berlin. We often switch to better-armored ships with escorts for the run across the Independent Worlds to Houston. <p><p> | ||

<ul><li> | <ul><li>Although it's not far to Hamburg from here, the Unioners will attack us if given the opportunity. Their preferred method is to disable a Trade Lane ring near the center of the stretch, then flee back into the Nordheide at the first sign of a military patrol. <p><p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Republican is competing with ALG to win the contract for constructing the next generation of Rheinland battleships. We have a clear advantage in ship design and practical construction experience. But they have a definite strength in alloys and specialized Hull Panel fabrication. <p><p> | ||

Imperial Shipping is the premier shipping corporation in Rheinland, responsible for the vast majority of all domestic cargo transport within the Empire's borders. While also historically involved in many shipbuilding enterprises both civilian and military, in recent years Imperial's shipbuilding section has struggled to compete with foreign firms offering lower prices and larger volumes of product.
