Your order for:

15x C-10 Minotaur cargo aircraft

has been approved for the total cost of 4.5 billion standard dollars. At no cost, we are modifying these aircraft with receptacles for a flying boom type refueling system. If this does not fit your needs, please let us know. Lyran Arms thanks you for your valued custom.

[Ta ka au]

That will be fine

[Auremena]

Auremena Flight Dynamics would like to inquire how many kilograms (pounds is acceptable) of fuel the C-10 can carry.

[Lamoni]

From: Lyran Arms-Lamoni

Auremena

The C-10 Minotaur is generally not used as an aerial refueling aircraft. As such, we have felt no need to calculate the amount of fuel that the C-10 can transport, outside of it's own fuel tanks. Please advise if this is what your question meant, as it was not entirely clear.

[Auremena]

We were not going to use it for aerial refueling, we were wondering if our KC7 tankers carried enough fuel to refuel it.

[Lamoni]

From: Lyran Arms-Lamoni

Auremena

The total fuel capacity of the C-10 Minotaur is 300,000 kg. Note that you will not be able to lift a capacity load with a full fuel load, but 300,000 kg is the maximum total fuel capacity of this airframe. Lyran Arms thanks you for your understanding.

Official Communiqué from the Mimana Imperial Republic of Ancient Terra

Joint Communiqué
Ministry of Defense - Ministry of Foreign Affairs

From: The Desk of Lord Admiral Yamato Ishida, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - (Acting) Minister of Defense
Intended Recipient: Lyran Arms, designated distributor for the C-10 "Minotaur" - Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) or its Protectorate of Lyras equivalent

Subject: Intent to Place an Order

Body of Message Follows:

To Lyran Arms, acting as Lamoni's designated distributor,

On behalf of the Mimana Imperial Republic of Ancient Terra (henceforth referred to simply as Ancient Terra) I greet you and hope I find you in good health.

Following the tragic crash of a leased AN-225 during a recent disaster relief airlift, the Terran International Cooperation Agency (TICA) has won approval from the National Diet to purchase its own fleet of strategic transport aircraft. Under the negotiated agreement, these aircraft will be alternately maintained by the Terran Maritime Self-Defense Force and Terran Air Self-Defense Force, while costs will be borne by TICA's budget.

Although TICA is an independent government agency, it has asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to handle the acquisition process. Typical of government efficiency, the Ministry then turned to us for assistance. As a result, we would like to place an order for nine (9) C-10 "Minotaur" aircraft, to be delivered to Sakamoto Air Base, approximately 180 miles north of Asuka-to.

By our calculations, the price comes to NS$2,700,000,000, which is roughly K$1,372,650,000 Terran Kinsens at the current exchange rate of K$ 1 = NS$1.9670. Because the National Diet has approved this procurement and afforded it "expedited purchase" status, this payment will be transferred immediately upon confirmation of our order.

TICA looks forward to operating the C-10, and promises that its tremendous capabilities will be used to deliver goodwill and hope to the world.

Sincerely,

- Lord Admiral Yamato Ishida, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - (Acting) Minister of Defense - TMSDF -

Co-signed:
- Vice Admiral Miyako "Yolei" Inoue, Chief of Naval Operations - TMSDF -
- Rear Admiral Leinani "Lani" Kaimuola, Commander, Terran Military Sealift Command - TMSDF -
- General Masashi "Gon" Nakayama, Commander, Strategic Air Support Command - TASDF -
- Lt. Gen. Koji Yamase, Commander, Eleventh Air Force, SASC - TASDF -
- Fuku Mitsutarō, Ancient Terra's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs -
- Kaoru Sawada, President of the Terran International Cooperation Agency -

[Raludcia]

The Raludcian Federation , the successor state to the corrupt monarchy of Raludcia would like to increase the number of C-10 Minotaur aircraft in our possession to 150 aircraft, meaning we would like to purchase an additional 130. We also ask for limited Domestic Production Rights to allow us to replace any aircraft we may lose in future wars.

We also have a request to Lyran Arms. How many VHA-25 'Adder' MBTs, CA-2 IFVs and LY9/M22 'Direwolf' vehicles can be carried in a C-10?

Kindest Regards,

Chairman Albert Vedencio

[Lamoni]

Raludcia

Your order for:

130x C-10 Minotaur

has been approved for free, as the Free Republic of Lamoni is picking up the tab for this order. Your limited DPRs are approved.

According to our calculations, the C-10 can hold (by weight):

3.64x VHA-25
10.2x CA-2 IFV

However, we would recommend no more than three of each vehicle, per trip. We hope that this is acceptable. Lyran Arms thanks you for your valued custom.

[The Lendol Archipelago]

The Ministry of Defense of The Lendol Archipelago would be interested to know if an adapted version designed to carry supersoldiers would be available in the near future as the our proud military is almost entirely composed of genetically enhanced soldiers. To and also is there any chance of the aforementioned adapted version being less expensive, cutting unimportant functions would be satisfactory as long as the armour of the plane is unaffected.

To a long and prosperous association- The Protectorate of the Lendol Archipelago.
