Polaris Military Logistics Corporation [OPEN]

by **The Nation of Ceneria** » Wed Dec 30, 2015 12:58 pm

Welcome to Polaris!

Logistics is one of the most important aspects of a military's ability to function effectively. Whether you are carrying main battle tanks and artillery rounds to the front lines or bringing humanitarian supplies to those in dire need, any military is helpless without a fleet of trucks, cars, transport aircraft, and even ocean-going ships in order to keep troops alive, well-supplied, and happy.

Polaris Military Logistics designs, builds, and sells units made to meet the harshest demands of your military. Our trucks have hauled tanks in some of the harshest conditions imaginable, ranging from the biting cold of the arctic to the tropical heat of the jungles. While the majority of the units we sell are not armed, they have built-in mountings for a huge range of defensive weapons systems, and we are more than happy to help you modify them if required.

In addition to simply selling our units, we also rent and loan units to those nations who do not have the funds readily available to purchase them. And, if you are pressed for time and resources and need rapid logistical assistance, we can also dispatch assets complete with drivers and maintenance crews in order to help you as soon as possible.

So, without any further ado, I would like to welcome you to Polaris Military Logistics. Happy shopping!

Polaris Military Logistics can trace its roots back to 1910, when Spurr Shipping Products Inc. was founded in Spurr, Ceneria. It was formally incorporated on March 23rd, 1910, by Frank R. Watson in Vilonnon, Ceneria

[Work in Progress]

One of the aspects of Polaris that we are most proud of is our international reach. While Polaris is headquartered in Ceneria, where most of the designs are made and prototypes are fabricated and tested, we do have several factories worldwide. These factories serve to no only reduce costs incurred by Cenerian taxes, but also help employ lower class citizens of other nations and promote the global economy. At present, Polaris operates only one factory outside of Ceneria, in Ferrum, Tekeristan, although this is set to change in the very near future.

As the products that Polaris Military Logistics sells are not armed military units, Polaris is legally allowed to sell to most, if not all, potential customers. There are certain restrictions that apply to this, however. Governments who flagrantly violate World Assembly resolutions guaranteeing the rights of their citizens and the rules of warfare or who limit the universal civil rights of their citizens (including but not limited to freedoms to assembly, press, association, speech, religion, and the right to bear arms) may have their applications denied. In addition to this, Polaris Military Logistics Corporation reserves the right to unconditionally deny any applications received, without being required to state a reason.

For logistics contracting and the leasing of Polaris Military Logistics units and personnel, Cenerian law requires that we perform a thorough background check on all potential customers. The restrictions outlined above also apply for the temporary use of Polaris Military Logistics assets.

We do not have any set restriction levels, but please do be aware that all applications are subject to full or partial denial at any time.

The M467 Logistics Vehicle is Polaris' oldest and most widely-used logistics support system. First introduced to the public market in 1991, the M467 has revolutionized the military logistics field by being one of the most adaptable multi-role vehicles on the market, with an amazing capacity for modularity and a wide range of different variants available for sale. The M467 has been used effectively in a humbling range of environments, serving with distinction in such varied environments as high deserts, tropical rainforests, and cold mountains. The M467 is recognized as the primary medium logistical vehicle for a large number of militaries from around the world, and for good reason.
Prices range from $325,000 NSD and $331,000 NSD between variants. Please see catalog page for more detailed information.

The M488 Medium Equipment Transporter is Polaris' oldest trailer-hauling vehicle, based off of the chassey and cab design of the M467 Logistics Vehicle. In many respects the M488 is identical to the M467, but some notable differences include an increased hauling power, shortened overall length and wheel base, and the addition of a fifth-wheel coupling to the rear bed of the vehicle. The M488 has the ability to haul equipment ranging from ambush-protected vehicles to light tanks, as well as an assortment of configurable trailers. The M488 is a solid go-to for your medium logistics needs, without the expense, maintenance costs, and size restrictions of heavy equipment transporters.
Prices range between $288,000 NSD (A-variant) and $308,000 (standard). Please see catalog page for more detailed information.

In addition to simply selling it's logistics systems, Polaris also offers a variety of services in connection to these systems. Special financing is available for militaries with small budgets, in order to equip even small nations with the best possible logistics systems, and, for nations short on both money and skilled operators and drivers, Polaris offers deployment contracts that include vehicles, highly trained private military personnel, and exceptionally skilled equipment operators for both combat and peacetime situations. (Restrictions apply. See below for details.).
To get the job done without destroying your budget, take advantage of Polaris' unique logistics services.

PURCHASE FINANCING

Logistics are an extremely important aspect of military preparedness, regardless of the size of the military in question. Unfortunately, logistics systems that are reliable and situation-suitable are sometimes prohibitively expensive, keeping those nations with small military budgets from being able to procure them. Polaris' solution to this problem is an ambitious financing program, targeted at nations with small military procurement budgets and a reputation for trust and honor.
If you are interested in Polaris' special financing options, we ask that you refer to the below table to determine your suitability. Polaris maintains rigorous standards for admission into the financing program, so be aware that denial is not unlikely. Also note that nations with populations larger than ten million are not included in these financing options.

LOGISTICS DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM

Polaris' Logistics Deployment Program is a program created to help nations, large and small, fulfill their immediate logistics needs without straining their resources or budgets. The program allows governments, humanitarian aid groups, and similar actors to contract the services of Polaris Military Logistics vehicles, operators, and professional military personnel. While the prices for this program are quite expensive, they are considerably less that the amount of money required to procure, maintain, and deploy logistics systems, and are especially suitable for situations in which the logistics requirement is temporary and not a long-term problem.
In the past, the Logistics Deployment Program has been used for several purposes, but it is by no means limited to these. Past deployments have included responses to refugee crises, transportation of disaster relief supplies, and relocation of combat vehicles and personnel from a port facility to a landing beach over a thousand miles away.
In dangerous environments, Polaris operators ride along with each deployed vehicle, ensuring the safety of the vehicle, its crew, and any cargo it happens to be carrying at the time. While these operators are not sufficient to protect the vehicle in a front-line situation, they are sufficient to deter attacks by lightly-armed threats. In heavy combat situations, Polaris does require escort by armored combat vehicles.
If you believe that the Logistics Deployment Program is the right option for you, we suggest that you look over the contract form, pricing, and regulations outlined below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us in order to ask.
In order to be eligible for service under the Logistics Deployment Program, Polaris requires that both a Deployment Application Form and a Deployment Contract Agreement be on file. When applying for a deployment, please supply both in your communication. When completing the Contract Agreement, please use appropriate legal language and replace all [ x ] marks with the applicable
Due to the fact that the LDP involves the active deployment of Polaris-owned logistics units, operators, and private military personnel, we do require that a contract be signed, as well as certain minimum specifications be met. In order to be applicable for this program, you must have favorable relations with both our host nation, Ceneria, and her allies. If you actively at war with any of the aforementioned nations, any application received will be denied. If your government has been accused of supporting terrorism, conducting genocide, or impeding the civil rights of its citizens, you need not apply to this program. Rest assured, that any nation that applies while in knowing violation of the above restrictions will be placed on Polaris Military Logistics' permanent blacklist, and not be eligible for further service by Polaris.

Vehicles deemed 'destroyed' in this manner may be purchased for the same amount as the initial deployment fee after the destruction fee has been paid in full.

OPERATOR PRICING
Polaris requires that all vehicles being used under the Logistics Deployment Program be operated by qualified Polaris Military Logistics Corporation employees. In dangerous situations, Polaris may also require that armed riders be added to ensure the safety of the vehicle. Military personnel may be substituted in this role, so long as one or more rider remains in each vehicle. Please note that double the number of riders is required to ensure the presence of sufficient off-duty personnel.

Operator	Salary (per day)	Injury/Death Compensation	Situational Requirement
Driver/operator	$1,100 NSD	$36,000 NSD / $50,000 NSD	All
Security Rider	$1,200 NSD	$41,000 NSD / $50,000 NSD	Level One and higher

NON-NEGOTIABLE PRICING
While many parts of a prospective deployment can be determined by the client some factors are set. These are totally non-negotiable, and cannot be changed by client request.

HEADQUARTERS COMPANY
In order to ensure that Polaris' vehicle remain in good working order, each deployment exceeding thirty vehicles must include a headquarters and maintenance outfit. This Headquarters Company consists of two hundred operators, as well as four M467C Recovery Vehicles. The salaries for all two hundred men in this company is set at $1,100 NSD per day, with the entire company requiring an initial fee of $750,000 NSD at the beginning of the deployment.

DEPLOYMENT DURATION FEE
If a Logistics Deployment Program's duration lasts more than thirty days from the first asset's arrival in-theatre, then an additional fee is incurred. This fee is a flat $600,000 NSD, and payment must be repeated after each ensuing thirty-day period.

SITUATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Depending on the tactical environment in which Polaris vehicles will operate, armed Polaris operators may be required to ride along with drivers in order to ensure the security of Polaris' assets and cargo. Polaris maintains a strict set of standards governing the protection levels required in certain situations, and these guidelines are not subject to negotiation. Armed military or PMC personnel may be substituted for Polaris Military Logistics contractors in level one circumstances. Requirements are compounding.

Situational Requirement Level	Description	Requirements
Level 0	Relative Safety - little to no danger is expected against Polaris assets. This usually applies to humanitarian deployments or logistics work well behind the lines.	No requirements.
Level 1	Frontline Logistics - danger is likely to be present in some form. This usually applies to supplying frontline units or operating in areas prone to insurgency.	Security riders are required in all vehicles.
Level 2+	Combat Support - danger is expected for any Polaris units. This usually applies to actively supplying advancing combat units in the field.	All Polaris assets are required to be escorted by a comparable number of armored units (either IFVs or tanks) from the client organization.

REPUBLIC OF TEKERISTAN

Official Statement of the Republic of Tekeristan

To: Polaris Military Logistics
From: Republic of Tekeristan, Ministry of Defense
Subject: Contracting Service
Encryption: High

To whom it may concern,

The Republic of Tekeristan and its national sovereignty is under increasingly dangerous foreign threat by the nations of Cardulan and Balagan. This is a war that threatens to overthrow the Republic and all of which it stands for.

In order to increase the effectiveness of our military forces in the trials ahead - we seek to contract a large service from your organization in order to further supplement our logistical supply chain in order to ensure our military can fight effectively against these dangerous enemies that threaten to overthrow our nation.

Name of Purchasing Entity (country, company, etc.): Republic of Tekeristan, Ministry of Defense
Name of Representative: Victor Dinescu
Country of Origin (if applicable): Tekeristan
Requested Products:
VEHICULAR
x60 M467 Logistics Vehicle(s) - 1,200,000
x30 M488 Standard Variant - 870,000
PERSONNEL
x800 Operators - 880,000
Sub-total: 5,800,000
Discounts Applicable: Realism and RP (7.5%)
Grand Total:5,365,000

Transport
We urge that your organization makes its entrance through northern Europe by ship or plane before descending to Tekeristan by railway - preferably through the nation of Elektrograd. The Black and Mediterranean Sea are hostile places and we fully suggest against a naval approach from those areas.

Situational Analysis:
The nation of Tekeristan is under threat of invasion from foreign hostile powers, namely the nations of Cardulan & Balagan. These 2 nations will be making their approach through the black sea - likely assaulting the coast of Tekeristan.

Polaris is expected to work behind combat lines in cooperation with the Tekeristan Armed Forces to assist in logistical operations, which includes the transportation of materials (such as pre-fabricated pieces), munitions, vehicles, personnel, artillery, and other various materials, for a full 24 hours a day. Polaris will receive active protection from the Tekeristan Armed Forces during their operations, as well as various supplies such as nutrition, fuel, and parts.

We are confident in the ability of your organization to assist in the defense of our Republic against the tyrannical nations that threaten our borders.

Regards,
Tekeristan, Ministry of Defense

Official Correspondence - Polaris Military Logistics Corporation
TO: Tekeristan Ministry of Defense
FROM: Polaris Military Logistics Corp., Logistics Deployment Program
SUBJECT: Re: Contracting Service
ENCRYPTION: Level 4

Mr. Dinescu--

Firstly, allow me to reassure you as to your choice of logistics contractors. Of the few companies around the world with services such as the Logistics Deployment Program, none have as unblemished a record as Polaris Military Logistics. None are as thorough and careful as our operators. When you purchase a deployment contract, you are not just renting vehicles to help you in a pinch; you are purchasing over one hundred years worth of care and quality.

Regarding your application for a deployment, we are thrilled to inform you that your request has been [APPROVED]. As per your application, the requested units will be routed to the port facilities of Whytecliff, from which they will be shipped to Tekeristan via rail through Elektrograd. We will contact you as soon as possible regarding the estimated deployment timetable.

As per the contract agreement, we expect the payment of the initial deposit of $4,962,625 NSD [ Four Million Nine Hundred and Sixty-Two Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Five Nation-States Dollars ] in full no later than 12:00 AM GMT, November 13th. Also in accordance with the contract agreement, you will be billed on a monthly basis for the duration of the deployment to cover operator salaries, duration fees, and in the event of extraordinary circumstances.

As a result of the relatively danger-free nature of the mission, as it will be conducted almost entirely behind the lines, no additional security riders will be required at this time. If the situation merits the addition of riders for any reason, you will be consulted prior to deployment. Hazardous Service bonuses will similarly be afforded to only certain Polaris operators, and will be included in monthly billings.

Thank you for your application. We look forwards to working with the Tekeristan Armed Forces.
