Rising from the Ashes ((Open, Purchasing Military Equipment(modern), ATTN: Aralonia))
A year and a half since the bloody revolution...
A year and a half of obscurity and unimportance for the Anikian Empire.
A year and a half of rebuilding...
But now it was finally over. Like the mythical Pheonix rising from its ashes, the Anikian Empire was again becoming a player on an international sphere. Despite the assassination of the Emperor and the brutal civil war started by the rebellion of several generals within the military, the former Archon of War had finally brought the nation back to its feet.
But the Emperor was dead, and the man who had traded his name for the title of Wraith long ago was the only living member of the High Council of Archons. He had taken the title of High Archon - not Emperor, because there had been and would only be one Emperor of the Anikian Empire - and had set about bringing the nation to prosperity once again.
And now, after his army had been torn in two, High Archon Wraith was rebuilding the military forces under his command. CIOP, the intelligence and special forces branch of the Anikian military, had remained completely loyal; the lack of infighting meant its resources were not too heavily sapped, though improved equipment for them was always welcome. The Sea and Air Force had been struck hard by the rebellion, and he needed to obtain warships faster than the Empire could afford to produce them and completely upgrade the fighters and bombers. The Army had been struck less than the Sea and Air Force, but still was in need of better weaponry and equipment.
With local contractors hard at work within the nation to improve conditions, the High Archon nevertheless decided that if there was to be any rapid progress, he would have to turn to foreign markets to resupply his armed forces. And so he sent out an open invitation to contractors and ambassadors of military nations in the hopes of striking a deal.

“...and we have reports that a nation known as The Anikian Empire have risen again. Something about a civil war.”
“Oh, really now?” Fleckner flicked a piece of dirt off his impeccably clean table. “Hmm. They require ships, apparently. It's time we operated a bit independently from the government, don't you think? Time to ruffle some feathers. Cutting off our business by having to say that they -absolutely must- have the most battleships of our type. Well then.”

We have recently heard from our analyst that you wish to buy military equipment. It is in our best interest to show our catalogue of military products that may interest you. SUDI mainly works in the aerospace industry, though, it does have some naval products. Our partners in EAIS sell aerospace, naval, and land equipment for armies. Our catalogue is wide and can be daunting so if you wish to buy specific things we will be more than happy to help you out.
We hope to do business with you in the near future.

To whomever it may concern,
The Anikian Empire thanks you for your offer, and while at this time we feel that we do not urgently need increased land-based forces, we shall keep your storefront in mind for possible future needs. However, our current focus precludes purchase of your goods at this time.

RE: F14F Maahes
Mr. Richardson,
The Anikian Empire thanks you for your offer of the F14F Maahes, which does appear to be a formidible fighter; however, at this time we are looking at alternate sources for our aerial needs. The Maahes is still under consideration, and should we decided to place an order, you will certainly be contacted.
Thank you,

RE: Hillian War Suit
Admiral Crowley,
The Anikian Empire thanks you for your offer of domestic production of the Hillian War Suit; however, the Anikian Empire already produces it's own personal infantry armor, which it currently favors. Still, your offer is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

RE: SUDI Catalog
Mr. Nam,
The Anikian Empire thanks you for your offer, and we are currently looking into your catalog as a source for improving our aerial capabilities. Currently we are looking into the SUF-7 Nightmare and the SUFB-8 Strike Pheonix; also, we would like to know the additional cost for implementing the FOLED system used in the SUF/A-6 Wraith in the Strike Pheonix.
Thank you,
