I must object most strongly to the implication that as a Hutt I am involved with any such nefarious trade in slaves. I am a simple trader in fine liquors and resent the implication that you would ever find me in anything but this trade.

But, as you mention it I would be able to lay my hands on a few workers for y'all, with paperwork naturally.

Regardin' payment.. We ain't got much use for no "freshly smelted ore ingots directly from the molten rivers of Eos itself", we be preferin' an.. alternative source 'o' payment. When I spent some time on Imperial Center, back in the day, I found an animal crawled into my mouth while I was resting in their aviary and of no fault of my own ingested the rare bird. While I hasten to add this accident was tragic, it did result in myself having a most delicious experience. I would be willing to source you a hundred slaves per score of Shreebirds you can source for me so I might cultivate them and keep them somewhere... warm and safe. Hooo hoooo hooo.

I am sure as a Sector Moff you will have little trouble in sourcing such a rare bird with such a delicate and yet gamey flavor.

This offer would be conditional on yourself being able to also secure me a wavier of Imperial Endangered Animals protection from either the Senate or Imperial Government to allow myself to kill these animals for research purposes.. and dispose with the flesh in a manner of my own choosing.

Yours Sincerely

Jamulon Tiure

I meant no insult, nor did I imply that because you were a Hutt that you had your hand in such dealings. I was merely inquiring if you knew of any residents on Dantooine that were looking for work. While Eos might not be the natural farming field that the people of Dantooine are used to, it would still be a very well paying job. As for your request of payment, it would be difficult to acquire such a wavier for you to raise these birds. I can however place the paper work into proper order, while giving my personal word that you would be keeping these birds to breed, raise and bring back their numbers, while also studying them to properly breed them to thrive in the changing environment of their homeworld. Your proper application for such a wavier combined with my backing should be more than substantial in acquiring such a wavier.

Sincerely, Moff Verilia
