The Common Republic has no claim to this system, and welcomes trade.

Pivot has no agricultural capacity (as it was initially set to be an 
uninhabitiable system, but a central one. It's dissapearance from the 
current map is all the more fitting thusly) and has no planets capable 
of said without much terraforming.

In so far as the Patrimonium Petrl can draw resources from predominatly Catholic nations like the LLAR, Confederation of Celtic States, & New Irish Republic, the Papal High Guard boasts of a fleet nearly as large as the FSE, and this would go a considerable way in discouraging the FSE from engaging in incursions that are counter to the interests of the Common Republic & the Petrl as well.

The Common Republic politely refuses such patrol issues, as we are a 
client state of the FSE, and have some considerable yard capacity. Our 
own forces, while not comparable to yours or the FSE's, is more than 
capable of maintaning order in our systems. We provide second and third 
line designs for the FSE navy, and they assisted us when we were in 
conflict with the nascent New Detroit Republic (backstory coming one 
day). We thusly have no need for anti-piracy patrol. We also have used 
the BD+11.383 system as a trans-shipment point for our completed 
products to the FSE. However, we may consider concluding an agreement 
with the separatists to use the Delta Triangulai system. Our actual 
relationship is somewhat strained, as we are the end result of a colony 
mission of nonconformists from the FSE. Still loyal, but loyal in 
opposition. It is... complicated. This being said, we have our own 
political alignment, and we also do not condone FSE adventurism in our 
backyard, much less at potential trading partners.

We are willling to have concurrent naval visits, perhaps of a squadron 
of our ships visiting your ports, and a squadron of yours visiting ours.

See http://members.shaw.ca/victor-daivon/CRfleet.html for fleet 
specifications. At present the Shark and Volcano are in prototype 
stages, but are expected to be in service eventually.

We await your reply...
