Greetings to the economic powerhouses and storefronts of the world. I represent a small Principality in the New Aranamor Alliance. Skeelzania posses a 12,000 man land army for peace-keeping and defense, but we lack any space-based weaponry or ships. Due to recent intergalactic incidents our Leader has deemed it imperative that the Principality aquire at least one cruiser to provide means of transportation of our armed forces and protection of our home worlds. Skeelzanian scientists have drafted plans based on the Zeonic Musai cruiser of lore, but at this time we lack the industrial base to undertake such construction. In response to this delimma, we have decided to offer a contract with the one of the storefront nations to build one cruiser for the Skeelzanian Principality.
Technical Specifications are as follows:

Ship Type: Cruiser
Overall length: 234 meters
Overall width: 162 meters
Overall height: 69 meters
Full weight: 26200 tons
Propulsion system: rocket engine x 2
Armament: 2-barrel main gun x 5, 2-barrel 120 mm machinegun x 10, missile launcher x 10
Troop Complement: The Principality requests that one infantry battalion or one tank company and their appropriate support units be able to load to and disembark from the cruiser from a planetary surface.

The Principality will take offers by telegram. We are hoping the ship can be built for under 15 billion USD. If modifications to the original design are needed to meet this price we are willing to compromise.

OOC: kinda small???

IC:
CorpSac has the means to do such a thing plus we will add ion Engines and a few plasma Weapons to top it off.

The Principality is not an aggressive nation. While in the long term we do plan to have a substantial space fleet to protect our interests, at the time we simply seek a cruiser for local defense.

We ask only that CorpSac name its price and form of payment, and estimated construction time.

mmm...would be built in our corvette shipyards depending on how many you want...i say for about 15 of them that will take me between 7months to 14months for about 14 Billion Cr

Skeelzanian Cruiser Contract:
The final details of the contract are this:
8 Musai cruisers will be contract-built in the CorpSac shipyards. As the Principality is unaware of the efficency of the shipyards, we will not give a definite delivery date but request the ships be ready for delivery within 1 NS year (OCC: which I assume is one day. If im wrong please correct me, ive been unable to get a satisfactory answer anywhere else :( ). If this date cannot be met CorpSac will notifiy the Principality and give an estimate of the new completion date.

The Principality is willing to pay 9B.cr. to the CorpSac for the construction of the 8 ships. The CorpSac Empire need not undertake the painting of the ships or any other cosmetic detail, this will be dealth with at the Skeelzanian shipyards.

If the Dark Empire of CorpSac agrees to these terms please notifiy the Principality promptly.

8 with in a year thats esay consider it done.

OOC:it depends people can have 1 NS year as 1 day or 2RL day to 1NS year.

(double post)

(OCC: I'll consider 1RL Day=1NS year. A million people bord in 6 months would bequite a feat if I do say so myself)

The Principality of Skeelzania is pleased with the agreement. One half of the 9B.cr.s have been wired into your nations coffers, the second half will be wired upon completion of the cruisers. We will expect word of their completion within 1 year, as agreed.
