Golden Star Merchant Line (MT-PMT|OPEN)

[Democratic Exodian Territories]

The Golden Star Merchant Line was founded in 2015 by William Shang, who saw the need for businesses and companies to deliver their goods at a faster rate to their mass of locations. Despite its youth, the company flourished with the help of a few investors, able to deliver a multitude of products with speed nearly unmatched by others while still keeping high quality. Shang’s image through the company helped propel him to the office of Governor of Exodia only 2 years later. While he has since relinquished control and ownership of the Merchant Line, we’re still climbing to our peak.

The Golden Star Merchant Line used to only serve close trade partners to Exodia- but very recently, we’re truly expanding onto the world scale by establishing an international storefront. Now, vying for a spot among many other shipping lines, we now have a place to demonstrate our skills.

Headquarters: 41 Asher Bay Street, New Collective City (Trade Sector), Drarta Island, Democratic Exodian Territories 27312

Main Port: Heldamav Harbor, New Collective City (Industrial Sector)
...

President and CEO: Isabella Fergueson

CFO: Brian Kylner

Secretary and CMO: Francis Pisces

COO: Eve Larso

CIO: Maximilian Hamilstein

Engineering Manager: Miles Cameron

Our main service is our seaborne shipping line, ranging from general cargo vessels to petroleum supertankers, but we have an air service as well- offering services with supersonic fast-delivery jets and high-capacity cargo carriers alike. Companies and governments who want an established, permanent location for us to make trips and deliver goods, feel free to apply!

MESSAGE FROM THE GOLDEN STAR MERCHANT LINE
Unfortunately, your request for a partnership have been DENIED.

While we do support Islamic tolerance, we do not support jihad.
We are also admittedly rather skeptical concerning the background of your company. Most particularly, we fear that this may be in fact a government-run storefront, concerning the seemingly-authoritarian nature of the politics in Al-Hind Indus.
If you may provide substantial proof against our concerns, we may reconsider your application.

While we currently are not in need of construction services (we operate our own drydock services in Exodia, and we have been on good partnership terms with Rising Sun Aircraft for quite some time), we will ACCEPT a partnership on terms of expanding trade routes for both of us. Should you ever require our shipping services, feel free to complete an application for services.
Otherwise, thank you for your proposal.

MESSAGE FROM THE GOLDEN STAR MERCHANT LINE
We are afraid we must refuse the offer on some terms.

While we will allow undercover troops or agents to be transported on Golden Star vessels, we cannot permit the transport of uniformed troops. We consider such to be a violation of sovereignty and our national allegiance; while we know relations are well between the Republic of Christiandom and the Democratic Exodian Territories, we cannot allow ourselves to be used by a foreign nation’s military, no matter the profit.
On another subject, we believe that we are well-protected enough against piracy; in fact, we have begun mandating that new light weapons systems be installed on our vessels.

Nonetheless, we refuse the terms with respect, and will still allow the carrying of undercover personnel.
