Good afternoon all corporate and state representatives!
Earlier this week a high ranking officer was reported to have initiated a coup of a neighbouring state without approval from our Lord. In response to this a reactionary force was assembled and mobilized to our North-eastern border to face what we perceived as a threat.
As of approximately 22:30 hours last night it became clear that our armies offensive capabilities were severely lacking and unable to undertake conventional warfare against an enemy, and although the operation was a success with three border settlements and the outer edge of the enemy states capital being claimed, seventeen (17) improvised assault vehicles and over a hundred combined injuries and deaths were sustained due to squad support weapons and man-portable anti-armour weapons.
This has led us to an embarrassing, if eye-opening stalemate that has brought us to this meeting today. We are auctioning the contract for a series of armoured vehicles and anti-armour systems to replace our aging fleet of jury-rigged ones.
Once the auction has ended price ranges of domestic property rights, parts & training as well as future upgrades will be negotiated. Production will be done locally under Legion supervision, and trade mark and intellectual property rights to the designs may be purchased at later dates and will belong to the Legions of W.P.Q.R. by the authority of our Lord Parseos of Two-Sons.
