## Rumors

* ALG does a good business in Frankfurt. Terraforming Gases arrive at this base from Dortmund. They expect to receive supplies of Boron from here in return.
* Though it requires the danger of flying into the Border Worlds, ALG ships Food to the Helgoland, beyond Rheinland space.

* You see the Samura and Kishiro men on this base? They always have a very smug look on their faces, it makes me livid. I would enjoy killing them both. You know that Kusari and her keiretsu backed the GMG throughout the entire war, don't you?
* This is the station where the Kusari shippers must offload their products and receive ours. I don't think many Rheinlanders care to see H-Fuel brought into the heart of our Republic aboard their ships, the insult would be unbearable.

* Basic supplies are brought here from throughout the republic. This station is a supply hub for all of Frankfurt. We also do a fair bit of business in the Border Worlds and Kusari.
* All H-Fuel that comes into this system is immediately loaded off the Kusari ships and onto Republican vessels. From here, most of the H-Fuel will be sent to the capitol, where it will be redistributed throughout all of Rheinland.
* Fertilizers are brought here from Hamburg. They will make their way into the Border Worlds eventually. Zoners need the Fertilizers for their bio-domes.
* Boron and High-Temperature Alloys will be taken all the way to Narita in the heart of Kusari from this base. It will be Republican shippers that brave the Border Worlds to keep trade running smoothly.
* Republican will ship Optronics and Optical Chips to the Ring in New Berlin. On the way back, our convoys carry High-Temperature Alloys and Cobalt.
* Even in Frankfurt -- the derelict child of Rheinland -- the Unioners come to harass our shipping concerns. There is truly no rest for the weary. We must hire Bounty Hunters and freelancers to protect our convoys out here, as the police presence is minimal.
* This base is necessary; business must go on in Frankfurt even after the devastation it suffered in the Eighty-Years War. We are still the gateway to the Border Worlds and Kusari out here, even if no one wishes to remember that.
* There isn't much left here in Frankfurt. Most of the population in this system left for better mining grounds or were killed in "the Eighty." After several decisive losses to the GMG, the Imperial Navy began conscripting soldiers from the mining operations. The rate of attrition was horrible; you were a miner one week, a soldier the next, and dead by month’s end.

* It is always better to purchase supplies from desperate people. The people of Rheinland have lost almost everything. We purchase Fertilizers and Terraforming Gases for a good price from this base.
* Optronics, Consumer Goods, and Basic Alloys are part of the trade we do with this base and the Yanagi. We get excellent prices from these Rheinland boys, poor bastards.

* If you have ever wished to see the wonders of the New Tokyo system, then you could ship Diamonds to the capitol planet and return with Optical Chips from Shinagawa.
* Yukawa is in need of the Boron that the Rheinland people mine in this system. If you are willing, you could provide them with this Commodity.
* Go to Ogashawa. There is the main source of Kishiro H-Fuel. You will find the best prices at the source. Every station needs H-Fuel, including this one.

* The Silver we purchase in this dying system will be shipped aboard our convoys to New Tokyo. If you wish to see a vibrant, living system, go there. But bathe first.
* Yokohama is in need of High-Temperature Alloys. This Commodity is necessary for the construction of ships, and Kusari ships are amongst the finest in Sirius.
