| Mr Deschain,
Please could you explain the pressing need which requires you to seize items of Mandalorian Curios from a highly decorated servant of the Empire when he seized them in battle (without stated compensation)? I too have use for the items in question (the armour at least) and have placed a bid for them.
I would be happy to withdraw said bid if you are able to justify to me the reason for wanting these museum pieces? Had you considered simply purchasing them so as to save the disenfranchisement of a loyal, reliable and efficient servant who has recently proven himself in capturing the leader of a Mandalorian Clan.
With Warm Regards

| Adviser Gemmell,
May I first state that Baron Park will likely be compensated by the Empire in some other form. The man has enough awards to fill half the Imperial Palace and I doubt he is so lacking in wealth that his very living depends on the auction of these items. As it stands, Vil Haran and his accoutrements are part of an investigation and mission that I am undertaking with the express permission and knowledge of Grand Vizier Pestage. The items make Vil Haran the man he is; the Mandalore, if you will. I need that Mandalore, battered or fixed.
I have communicated with Baron Park nicely; my next step is to intervene with the backing of the law. There are larger fish to catch than a simple Mandalorian remnant. If you wish to heap honors on Park's head, do so. I, however, seek bigger targets. The day Park brings the head of Inquisitor Sturn, I will be appeased. I can understand your want of these items, but my need is for the peace of the Empire.
Regards,
Rath Deschain

| Mr Deschain,
I require the Armour for a serious project, which is also in the Emperor's interest, to help effectively bring to heel the Mandalorians and strengthen the Imperial Military as a whole. The loss to Baron Park is incidental inconvenient but I will instruct him to surrender the fake "Helmet of Mandalore" he has taken in battle to you as soon as is convenient. I should add though..
Vil Haran is no mandalore, I myself am familiar with the Mandalorian situation and I am aware that his claim is recognised by no more than a hundred "Mandalorians" and he has few warriors at his disposal (we estimate a few dozen).
My need is also for the peace and good conduct of the Empire, and you should be aware that there are wheels within wheels in motion here. It would be unfortunate if I were forced to mention in council (to his majesty) that you were hampering the wider movement to destroy the Mandalorian government with your stubborn nature on this matter.
The mask has been analysed by experts on the subject here on Imperial Center, it is the conclusion of my department that it is a replica and fake of the original. Having queried Mandalorians who have pledged their loyalty to the Empire instead of some obselete warrior credo have informed me that this would be clear to all Mandalorians familiar with the items in queston.
However, as the item in question (the Helmet) is what determines the "legitimacy" (where it real) of the "Mandalore" and not the armour itself (which is a relic of the Clan, not the Mandalore). It should be added that the recent Mandalores (Fett and Mereel) have not ever claimed to possess such a mask. I hardly see (even if it was genuine) the Mandalorians generally flocking behind a man in a mask, I think (unusually for them) they have set aside their traditions and now recognize a Mandalore on the basis of ability, not a piece of headgear. With this said, you do not (by your own logic) require more than the helmet.
I have had the armour itself moved to the Imperial Palace Treasury so that my research department may continue to research the older sets of armour to determine the method by which the suits are fashioned as our best scientists have so far been unable to work it successfully and usefully.
If you wish to contest this further, I would be happy to bring this issue before the Emperor himself to discuss the undermining of a serious research project which is one which has been given the highest priority by his majesty. Unlocking the secrets of working Mandalorian Iron have potentially vast long term benefits for the Empire, and would revolutionize every aspect of the Imperial Military.
It is for this reason, for the meantime, I must refuse to allow this early example of Mandalorian Iron working to be surrendered to your department.
Warmest Regards

| Adviser Gemmell,
A few hundred Mandalorians are no issue to the might and glory of the Empire. While you work your wheels within wheels on Imperial Center, there are others of us who work outside, risking life and limb. I do not recall the last time you personally captured a Jedi, I might point out. While many Mandalorians may not follow Vil Haran as the 'real' Mandalore or not is of little consequence to me. Your efforts to destroy the Mandalorian government are likewise a small fry in the larger picture.
If it is the secrets of Mandalorian iron you seek, then take a gauntlet for your research. I need Vil Haran to appear as realistic as he was before he was captured. By all means as well, please bring this to the attention of His Majesty. When you do so, inform him that your needs as a researcher may or may not pay off, whereas my work to centralize rebellious groups and bring them all to task before His Majesty, including this elusive 'Lightbringer' and 'Shadowlord,' alongside the former-Inquisitor Sturn, should take more precedence as they are very real and dangerous threats.
Regards,

| Mr Deschain.
We all play to our talents Mr Deschain.
Mr Haran with his helmet (and any other suit of Mandalorian Armour) will be just as "convincing". Your logic regarding the armour itself does not stand up to logical scrutiny.
As stated, the Armour is to be held by the Imperial Palace Research Department until further notice.
Your own projects, by your own admission are also far from certain in their success.
What would rebels matter if the stormtrooper corps was issued with armour which was proof from blasters? Mandalorian Ironmongery would make rebellion impossible.
I wish you the best of hunting your rebels and renegades. I will urge Baron Park to surrender the mask to you and oblige him to do so if necessary.
It is unfortunate that we have come to an impass, but to let such a key relic in the history of Mandalorian ironworking be risked in any way is to risk the potential future of the Empire's military, and this is a risk I am not willing to take. If you wish we could return to you an identical replica (identical in all respects, visual appearance/weight, but made from another metal).
If your projects can wait, I estimate all the useful research which can be done on the Armour should only take around a year.
Warmest Regards and Good Luck with bringing the enemies of the Empire to justice.

| Adviser Gemmell,
It seems I have no choice but to accept your generous offer. I have my doubts that Mandalorian Iron will prevent rebellion. Wherever that horrific spark lurks, there will always be people with means or ways. Good luck with your research, Mr. Gemmell.
