"Truly, what is regarded as impossible in the navy is a daily event for a Rogue Trader."  Commodore Aquairre said, between large bites of her steak.  "I sometimes regret not accepting the warrant, of course, but my path drew me to the navy, and not the life of an independent trader.  I get to command the big ships, but I don't have the operational and economic freedom I need to accomplish my goals."  The Commodore said, gesturing to open up the Imperial Navy balance sheets on the holoprojector.  "That's where you come in, Governor Cortez.  With the money aboard Attica Station, I could have my entire fleet back to operational status with two months, save for the Everest, which will take much longer to refit.  In exchange for transferring the funds to me, I'll grant you salvage rights to the three iconoclast frigates in the system, and two of my sword class frigates."  She offered, already presenting a contract to transfer ownership of the hulls and all equipment aboard to the Cortez Dynasty.<br/><br/>An actuary chimed on on Cortez' micro bead, offering him an analysis of the transaction.  "Our estimates indicate approximately 500,000 thrones in gold bars aboard the station.  Her offer leaves two sword class frigates, a cobra class destroyer, and a lunar class cruiser for her to salvage, as well as rights to any unexploded torpedoes in the system, not counting those aboard the orbital defense platforms.  The estimated value of the offered salvage far exceeds that of the tax arrears, of course, especially because you will retain the legal right to request repayment from the Navy later.  I recommend you take the offer."  One of the lesser factorums reported, accomplishing the needed calculations in record time.<br/><br/>(If the group chooses to simply take custody of the gold bars, they will gain a +10 bonus on their next three acquisition checks per PC.)
