<li> | <li>I always feel uncomfortable here -- this is Bowex territory. You can almost feel the stuffy arrogance of this place. It reeks of the Bretonian aristocrats that won't let go of our country. BMM and Bowex -- what a pair.<p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Gateway actually has very limited business on New London. We ship in Silver from our main base at Kensington by the planet Dover. We buy some basic commodities such as Food, Water, Oxygen and Basic Alloys. We also ship Mining Machinery to the IMG in Dublin and Cambridge. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||

<tr> | <tr> | ||
<td style="padding-bottom: 7px;"> | <td style="padding-bottom: 7px;"> | ||
<ul><li> | <ul><li>Bowex is far too reliant on their government contracts. They have forgotten how to be efficient, and that will be their downfall. Gateway doesn't rely on bribes and other dirty tricks. We simply outperform those fossils. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Silver is brought in from the IMG base in Omega-7, Freistadt. Then we ship it out to New London and the terraforming folks. Silver is used in cloudseeding, electronics and jewelry making, so there are a lot of places with a demand for it. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>I used to haul H-fuel from the Hokkaido system, but now that Leeds is blockaded, I'm trying to find decent routes into Rheinland and Liberty. Although our corporation can go into Kusari again, it's a long haul to go around the Taus to get there. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Kensington distributes Consumer Goods throughout Bretonia. Planets, space stations, depots, wherever there is a Bretonian, you'll find us supplying him or her with the finest little necessities of life. It isn't as lucrative as Luxuary Goods, but you're not as attractive a target for pirates either. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>This is Gateway's home base and hub for our shipping operations throughout the Sirius Sector. Bowex made sure that we couldn't use London itself as our base. We've adapted okay. It's actually a little more centrally located - transports coming from Liberty always pass by Kensington if they do business in New London or Cambridge. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
Line 611: | Line 626: | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li>We | <li>Gateway and the IMG are partners. We haul their minerals and supplies to distant markets. ALG has recently joined our partnership, enabling us to expand into Rheinland and take on the Daumann-Republican monopoly, which is eerily similar to our own BMM-Bowex road block. None of them are too happy with our competition. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>One of the key aims of our partnership with IMG is to get along with as many of the criminal factions as we can, thereby lowering our operating costs in the Border Worlds, which will comprise the bulk of future mineral discoveries in the sector. BMM and Bowex take a much harder line, which hurts them with factions like the Mollys and Red Hessians. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>We'd like to get more involved in the Luxury Goods and Food trade, but Bowex has a lock on that. Its exclusive military and police supply contracts are the worst because they make the Bretonian government pay through the nose. That's what you get with centuries of no competition. The Police Authority wizened up and has started to use us for their operations in Poole. Once we show the government how efficient we are, I reckon not even those Bowex lobbyists will be able to hold us at bay. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>I tried my hand at smuggling recently, heading up through Newcastle to try and sneak through to Tau-31. My little freighter was spotted instantly, and I had to make a run for it back through the Newcastle jump hole. Those Gallic pilots have got far more agile ships then the Mollys and Outcasts ever did. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Gateway delivers goods throughout Sirius. It is ironic that we're most restricted in our own home, Bretonia. BMM prefers to deal with Bowex, as do most of the government organisation. The Police Authority is more pragmatic however, and have begun a trial with us to see how we work. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Our two big cargos for long-range runs to Liberty are Beryllium and Gold. That Gold attracts a lot of attention, especially in the Independent Worlds, although the Corsairs have begun to hit us just outside the base here. Luckily the Police Authority always has a few patrols close by. <p> | ||

<ul><li> | <ul><li>Hauling Pharmaceuticals to Sheffield might be the easiest run that Gateway does. Sure, the pay isn't great, but I don't care as long as I have a better chance of making it home. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li>I | <li>I hate crossing the Independent Worlds. When I signed up for the H-Fuel run from Los Angeles to here I thought it would be an adventure. I'd say it's closer to a nightmare. Gateway doesn't pay me enough to get killed. Gateway's route goes by Sheffield and over Manchester. Our IMG partners often help us out near Freeport 4, but travelling through the Barrier ice fields is quite dangerous. Lane Hackers, Outcasts and Liberty Rogues are on the prowl there. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>I ship Food and Consumer Goods to this base from Kensington. It's a living, and you only have to jump from one system away. Mollys can be quite a problem on occasion, so be careful if you try it. But it is a hell of a lot safer than crossing the Independent Worlds. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
Line 663: | Line 678: | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>I'm on the Kensington circuit. We usually import H-Fuel or Gold. On the outbound trip it could be Luxury Food or Pharmaceuticals. We don't make a lot of profit, but it's a fairly safe trip, since you don't need to cross a Borderworld to get where you need to be. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li>I'm | <li>From Cambridge the Trade Lanes get much more difficult. I'm heading out to the IMG's Freistadt Station in Omega 7. We ship Pharmaceuticals and Basic Alloys there. That's if the Hessians or Corsairs don't intercept me first. <p> | ||

<li>Gateway | <li>Gateway hasn't gotten any serious contracts with the military. That is fine with me, I didn't sign up for combat duty, I'm a merchant. Hauling soldiers and weapons around just paints a big bullseye on your hull. Every Gallic, Outcast, Corsair and Molly raider will be on your tail. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li>Gateway | <li>Gateway delivers several basic commodities to this ship and other bases in the region. Water and Oxygen come in from the South Shields refinery, since we can't use anything from Carlisle for some reason. Biohazard, the grapevine says. Food has to be shipped in from Cambridge for the same reason. <p> | ||

<ul><li> | <ul><li>With all the Armed Forces now in this system, the lanes have become a lot safer. Well, except the ones south of Scarborough of course, but even the Mollys seem to keep quiet in Newcastle. They're probably wondering if they'll need to defend Belfast again before soon. It's small comfort though, considering the threat of invasion looms over this system like a shadow. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>"End of the line", that's what most of the Armed Forces call this station. It is fitting, that the northernmost outpost in Bretonian space is now an IMG station. Still, the chaps here do good work by producing a little H-fuel, some Hydrocarbons, and enough Water and Oxygen to sate the needs of everyone in the system. It saves the Armed Forces from having to have that hauled from New London. <p> | ||

<ul><li> | <ul><li>Bretonia keeps this base rather well equipped with basic supplies and Mining Machinery. Quite a shame, it was this shipping run that got destroyed just a while back. All hands lost, including my brother's wife, she was a good pilot too. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>The Bowex crews in the area are frothing at the bit about Gateway purchasing joint rights to the Bretonian transport franchise. The mighty Bretonian giant is having to sell contracts and rights to bail out debts, I've heard. Serves them right for war profiteering and biting off more than they could chew, if you ask me. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>I make the shipping run to this base from Cambridge. When I come here, I bring Consumer Goods and H-Fuel. When I leave, I transport work Crews who were on leave here back to Cardiff or Planet Cambridge. You'd be surprised how often I get jumped by Corsairs. Aye, they're mean ones.
