War reparations

"Governor Mu Sen, we would like to change the conditions. The Sirius Star is willing to help the Tita Star rebuild, alongside twenty years of unlimited support with resources and technology!" Lancer had the proposal prepared beforehand, and thoroughly explained everything in terms of funding and the transfer of technology, which was the Tita Star's greatest temptation, and was much better than keeping a bunch of battleships.

Mu Sen patiently listened to Lancer's explanation. "We only have one condition: battleships. The people of Tita are not interested in anything else. Of course, if Lieutenant General Lancer is unable to make the decision, you can report it to your higher ups."

Money? The people of Tita do not lack that, and large amounts of monetary compensation was something the Sirius Star was not able to provide. As for paying in installments, it would be useless, as who knew if the people of Sirius would survive this crisis.
