EOTED Offers 'Improved Trade Relations' To Tahar Joblis
{ITC Open Communique to Tahar Joblis}
The Empire is interested in improving trade relations with Tahar Joblis, but is unwilling to close off any possible avenues of progress. Therefore, we merely state our interest to your noble selves, and await the response.
In the future we trust,

We are quite willing to improve trade relations with the EOTED, particularly in this, such time as certain other nations have begun to engage in economic warfare against our longstanding ally.
OOC: :shock: Umm Ma-Tek, has any oine ever told you that you are eratic at times?

[OOC: Yes. But this isn't one of these times. EOTED and Tahar Joblis have been on relatively good terms (considering the mostly-silent nature of the friendship, going much further than 'relatively good' would probably be stretching things a little) ever since EOTED paid Tahar Joblis reparitions for the assualt on a Tahar Joblissian warship during the Amerigon Slave War...
...I fail to see how this is 'erratic', therefore.]

Excellent. The Board of Control has unanimously voted to assign MFN status (previous status having been 'Regulated') to Tahar Joblis.
The Empire would be willing to sell Thunder class strike aircraft to Tahar Joblis, if they are wanted. They are, of course, conventional fighter jets, but we feel that they're quite possibly the very best available. We were contracted to build them some time ago - or, rather, Rivette MI Corporation was - but Rivette sold them onto us when they failed to find a buyer.
Rivette has also made it clear that they require a buyer for their new MBmk2s - microwave-blasters - as the product has failed to find buyers. Now, usually we wouldn't advertise for an external corporation, but as Rivette are a key asset of the EOTED economy...
I'm sure you get the picture, friends. At any rate: both products are now available for consumption by the Tahar Joblissian military.

OOC: Tahar Joblissan-EOTED relations have maintained a fairly even keel, if frought with political misunderstandings. The political systems of the two nations are, after all, both rather difficult for outsiders to fully understand.
Tahar Joblissan military analysts find these offers intriguing; we will be wishing to first acquire small samples of such products for testing, analysis, and careful consideration on integration with our existing systems.
Tahar Joblissan trade officials have reciprocated by lowering trade barriers on Tahar Joblissan technology exports to EOTED, although the paranoid military science community has been reluctant to allow systems details and operational tests out of the country.
Confidentially, Tahar Joblissan military physicists have asked for quiet EOTED aid in testing and refinement for the warhead of the Snake G missile; Tahar Joblissan intelligence has not been able to acquire the full target range of drive designs, limiting actual tests somewhat.
