His Glorious Divine Majesty's Lord Solar, the Saint Macharius calls out to the loyal humans of the galaxy to aid his crusade. He calls out not for lives, but for materials. His crusade seeks out these materials:

Starship fuel,
Raw materials (steel, iron, bauxite etc.),
Prometheum,
Radioactive elements,
Silver.

If you can provide any of these things, please contact his Glorious Crusade Munitorum Office, at the location of this broadcast with the price you will charge for these things.

To the Munitorum Office of Lord Solar Macharius,

Celesio Mining would be honored to provide steel for your war industry, at the reasonable price of $500 USD per ton. How much steel is required by your forces?

~Marcus Bayer
Director, Foreign Sales Division

A constant stream will be required for His Divine Majesty's Forge Worlds. We could perhaps arrange a system of payment on arrival per shipment?

-Officio Munitorum
Markus Semper

Such a business opportunity is most acceptable. Since Celesio Mining takes care of its clients, I am authorized to offer you a 25% discount on every ton of steel sold, in return for being an exclusive supplier of steel.

With your approval, we can ship half a million tons to your forge worlds every three weeks on average.

~Marcus Bayer
Director, Foreign Sales Division

Such an offer is most acceptable. Truly, the Divine Emperor will look after the souls of your people.

-Officio Munitorum
Markus Semper

It is a pleasure doing business with your government, and may the future continue to be prosperous and fruitful for both of our respective organizations.

~ Marcus Bayer
Director, Foreign Sales Division

The solar trawlers and forges of the Khurganate would be happy to supply you with all the plasma and raw materials you could ever need. All we ask in return is your friendship, along with some small compensation, preferably in the form of workers for our mines. Our mortal are fragile, after all.

Yours,
Helion

His Holiness, High Priest Mathias of the Holy Empire of Yttiria offers to supply Lord Macharius' Forge Worlds with Uraniun 238 from his vast rare-earth metal mining sector. He offers you these resources out of respect for Lord Macharius' blessed devotion to technological endeavors in the name of the great Machine God. High Priest Mathias requests a 1:1 trade ratio, by tonnage, of water and/or liquid oxygen for these radioactive metals.

+++Response from The Lord Commander Saint Macharius+++

I would be honoured to trade materials with the High Priest's Holy Empire, and will organise the movement of tankers containing the water and oxygen you request. Emperor bless you.

The Lord Solar Macharius

The Crusade battlefleet will provide healthy, strong workers for your mines in return for the offered materials.

His Holiness:

We at Gideon International Jewelers would love to aid your cause with its needed silver.

The current sale price are about $19.72 per ounce, but we are willing to drop the price to a flat $15.00 an ounce to support your cause under the agreement that we will remain your silver vendor exclusively for the remainder of this campaign.

Prices are guaranteed as stable, only subject to change in adjustment to inflation.

Our silver is tops! We specialise in large orders. Its the only silver used to plate the hulls of the Liberation's Silver Fleet.

-Harold Goldstein

(OOC: Liberation is famous in the Raumreich Oversector for its precious metals, as it was formerly a slave mining camp. They know the stuff front to back, top to bottom.)

+++ASTRA IMPERATOR GLORIAM+++

Your offer of silver at a stable price is accepted. We request that you send as much as you can in one shipment.

-Officio Munitorum
Markus Semper

His Holiness:

With our current stock and connections, we are able to ship around 5812 tons of silver. This would come to 2.79 billion dollars USD.

We can sell you the whole stock or any fraction of it, an installment plan can be negotiated.

Thank you
-Harold Goldstein

To the Munitorum Office of Lord Solar Macharius,

Honored Sir,

It was with some small degree of confusion that we received your missive. In a universe as vast and tumultuous as the one in which we all find ourselves, technological divergence between peoples is a fact of life. Specifically, what type of 'starship fuel' is it that your crusade requires? Simple hydrogen suffices for some, whereas others require somewhat more advanced technology to maintain a fighting navy.

It would be our pleasure to reach a profitable agreement with your offices on the subject, but we require both a specific fuel type and a desired quantity or order duration to engage in practical business.

It is with anticipation that we await your reply.

Thomas Chen,
Vice-President of Sales, TerraTech Industries.

His Divine Majesty's fleet requires compounds that other fleets would consider mere toxic by-products. Radioactive waste of most kinds will fuel His Divine Majesty's fleets. We at the Officio Munitorum do not have access to such waste, and will not until we attempt our next campaign of atomic purging. Any radioactive waste will do.

-Officio Munitorum
Markus Semper

To the Munitorum Office of Lord Solar Macharius,

Honored Sir,

It would appear, then, that we are in the best possible position to assist you in your endeavors! TerraTech operates as one of the principle subsidiaries of Conquest Incorporated, a hyper-conglomerate that encompasses several industries that produce by-products of varying radioactivity. It would be simple, then, for TerraTech to procure sufficient material for your needs - indeed, perhaps a good deal more.

There are many attendant costs with packaging and transporting radioactive waste - it is, by all accounts, unpleasant to work with, as I'm sure you could appreciate. We feel it would not be unreasonable to charge 25 USD per ounce, bearing in mind of course the prohibitive costs of working with the material.

With little information as to the size or composition of your fleet (and expecting none in the future, as that might conceivably be detrimental to your operational security), we advance the tentative offer of 25,000 tons per month.

We hope that this arrangement would be agreeable.

Thomas Chen,
Vice-President of Sales, TerraTech Industries.

we'll be glad to open up trade..
