| Lord Stark,
The Ruling Houses have met earlier in the day to discuss the matters at hand. The issue that exists here is one that places Lorrd in great peril. I suspect we have no reason to trust the Auril Sector folk; they are out for blood and despite their 'kind words' within the Senate stating they are willing to declare a cease-fire, the entirety of the Ruling Houses have agreed, perhaps in a rare occurrence, that we cannot be caught within our present state.
We recognize that you hold great sway and influence with the boards of directors within your respective companies. We also recognize that, as an arms dealer, you would be best equipped to assist us in a temporary defense of Lorrd, albeit at some cost to yourself, though a cost that would be offset by the combined Houses of Lorrd in the immediate future.
What I am asking of you Stark, is to lend to us your converted drones, any ships you have off the production line and any forces that can be deputized as Lorrdian Defense Force reserves. It is a massive mobilization but surely all can see that it is in the continued best interests of Lorrd to remain a free, autonomous world that contributes to the Galactic Empire rather than a war-torn world over some foolish quest for blood.
Regards,
Roman Lekpin

| Representative Lekpin,
My patriotism to Lorrd aside, you realize you are asking me to undertake a very risky venture to my own companies and suffer a possible drastic hit to my profits for some time to come. Nonetheless, you are correct that all boards of directors agree that by virtue of my placement on Lorrd, the world itself has great importance. It does help as well that the boards are largely composed of Lorrdian citizenry that have a vested interest in seeing the planet kept safe, likely for their own selfish reasons.
At this, time, ten of the Breaker-class modular cruisers exist as part of GalacticAid's existing aid forces. I can have them all refit within a matter of a day or two to have pacification modules for allowance of heavier combat capacity. Know, though, that these are not warships designed for heavy combat. Fortunately, there were a pair of Avarice-class frigates completed for further design testing and for possible upgrades. I can see these converted for Lorrdian use as well. If we have the time, I may well be able to muster up another two frigates as well.
I will tap into my other companies as well. Suits of armor and weapons will be easy enough to provide, and I will if I can utilize my pull at Wandrau Arms to purchase eight each of Large Gun/Warhead Emplacements and Large Gun Emplacements as static defenses for Lorrd. When it comes to the drones... I am wary of turning over the drone stockpiles for a war, Representative. Granted, we have several hundred KSRR-001 drones ready for use, as well as perhaps twice as many AS-003 series drones, but that isn't what you're after, I can assume. There are three squadrons of I-002 series drones we converted to UCSV's, but the real surprise will lie in the four squadrons of T-009 series drones and two squadrons of S-005 series drones.
As I said, Lorrd Engineering has not produced any super-heavy vessels at present, but I will do the best I can.
Regards,
Alyn Stark
