My interest lies in seeing the Inquisition's naval forces brought to a point of effectiveness. It has an assortment of boats and two trade vessels sitting useless, unmanned and rotting in the harbor. I'd like to acquire business interested in their use - not as a partner to buy share, but parties who would pay coin for the hold space and shipment guarantees. That revenue will be used to hire on hands and the runs to train them, so that when the time comes we can actually use those ships for something other than for blockading the harbor. Any additional revenue directly benefits the Inquisition's coffers.

I trust you can find a way to make a profit on the side of all that.
