We are most impressed with your designs ! Your ships are works of art. You always have a place to dock, so long as we control our two stations.

We thank you Celeborne for your offer, which we will definitely take up. When you have a chance please send us more info on them.

Space Weapon Systems on future space fighters will be fitted with A-class Tungsten Torpedoes (class: kinetic energy weapon). An extremely dense material capable of causing considerable damage to enemy craft. Or for attack of planet based enemy targets, although this requires further work (and no rush as we have no known enemies).

We have two, one in earth orbit that is set up as a resort. We would be more than happy to host your troops for R&R there. The other is Freeport II a staion in orbit of mars that was originally built to be a trade station for the Imperial Alliance, it was then converted over to a ship yard, and in its latest incarnation is a our space base for our refugee program. Your ships are welcome to stop for repairs or refueling at either base, or if your pilots just need a rest.

OOC: I will post links to the threads when I have a chance to find them.

Thank you. We will dock the transporter at Freeport II, we would like to arrange a send-off party for the crew and passengers of the whole group, if that's ok with you. Tgrams will fill you in more.
