Desjardins Shipyards has sufficient slips across the Commonwealth to produce vessels for sale outside the Commonwealth.

Should you be interested in purchasing quality Commonwealth-built Frigates, Corvettes, Patrol Craft, and Destroyers, you need look no furthur than the Desjardins Shipyards corporation.

Of course, if you are interested in fighter craft, a number of our subsidiaries produce suitable vessels.

"Very well. The cost will be SKcr 2'500'000 for the ship itself. Shipping & Handling via superfreighter will be up to your perogative; should you wish, we can also make delivery for a nominal fee of SKcr 75'000 (3%). Of course, you can always send representatives to take delivery from our yards.

"As this appears to be a military order, the Tranquility Yards will be able to make upgrades to the ship. Many of the Corporate Sector's major industries have retail channels here at the Yards: should you wish to procure any extra weapons or upgrades we would be more than willing to do so for an installation fee, plus that of the actual hardware."

Yes... but on the oher hand, our economy has suffered, and we need the exports. All our defensive systems are up and running at full speed once more... save our fleet, but that will be fixed within the next three weeks... Our new ships are in their final tests...

We an do just about anything with all three of those worlds.

We need two defensive stations around each planet to shore up the ones we're building and planetary defenses on each planet that are capable of repelling a major assault without the assistance of the battle stations.

Type, should be "Engima." Sorry about the wrong acronym. I was tempted to write PLA(N), though

Oh that will be a Kelp walk... A bit pricey, but this will provide so many needed jobs...

Alright, so that is 6 battlestations... we can have those to you within the next 8 months.

Bi-layerd planetary shields... we have those in stock, and will be on a heavily armed and armored superfriegher that will be traveling via Jumpgate to your system... expect them within the next 3 days

On a second supertransport, will be the compliment of 18 planetary turbo-laser batteries. Each carries the firepower of a full sized battlecruiser... more than enough to defend your worlds.. expect them within the next 2 weeks

The Baron walked aboard the docked shuttle with two lightly armed guards and signaled the pilot to take off.

The shuttle accelerated away from the ship to make the mildly short FTL trip to Passchendale space. It arrived in close orbit, before plummeting through a gap in the shield. The baron had an excellent view of the city center, spanning a continent and the Great Palace of The Great Leader. But it kept going over the high mountains to the east, which had as yet stemmed total development. Beyond was the ocean; they flew over it, then to an island fortress, a huge planetary shield generator protected by massive ground to surface turbolasers and other defense, though they had already passed many such installations.

But here there was a tunnel leading inside one of the cliffs, the shuttle entered and the Baron was escorted off to be led to a high-speed train. An hours trip at 7000 kph followed. At that point the Barons escort was left in a lounge and a single servant of the Great Leader, lead the Baron through what was in fact a maze, filled with security screening equipment as well, in case anything could get past the initial checks on the shuttle and at the landing pad.

Finally after another half hour of walking they arrived at a mammoth blast door. "We now enter the chambers of The Great Leader Baron." The two stepped through the opening door, apparently but not in fact operated by the pair of guards. Inside where chambers and rooms that could only be described as extravagant. Another walk, by this point greatly annoying the baron lead to a small room marked "Parlor". They entered and inside stood The Great Leader, sipping a drink.

"Welcome Baron de Alps Pini to my chambers. Now please help yourself to a drink, and explain why you have dared to see me."

Why thank you. I have been sent after my government has seen the enemy coalition that struck down the Azegart. I had no love for them, but the Azegart payed very well. We are worried that these fools in the coalition will attack us or one of our more vocal vassals. You are a powerful nation and we like to enter into an alliance of whatever degree you see fit. But we have also learned your nation does not like to be tied down, and we understand that. Lord Edward was thinking more of an offensive attack alliance. Regardless, we would value both of our nations having combat advisers sent to the opposite nation and possibly trading some minor and industrial technologies. Thank you for hearing my plee.

"The simple solution to this quandary is to ignore the conditions. The HAB with entered into a military alliance with The Royal House of Dunlap. Communications standards will be established along with an officer exchange program to facilitate this alliance and perhaps future exercises. Technological trade and weapons sales will go ahead on favorable terms. But we will not state what the conditions of one side military aiding the other is, both to keep our enemies in the dark and because it is unnecessary. We will both know when we must fight together."
