Hello Elias.

You are a very ambitious man, aren't you? I don't know anyone else who would spend a fortune buying a valueless planet. Not just any planet, a planet without any known resources, a planet so unstable that colonization is hopeless, a planet filled to the brim with hostile alien life.

Most people would realize their mistake and try to sell it to some other sucker. You're starting a hunting tour. That's why I like you.

Let's get to business. If you want hunters, they'll need weapons. This is the easy part, we can buy guns in bulk, real old stuff that's been in military reserves for centuries. They'll need gear too, maps, camouflage, cover scent; we'll have to get that custom made. These will be expensive clients, pamper them all you can.

Now you've got hunters, they'll need somewhere to hunt. This planet is almost untouched by human hands, the only challenge will be picking the right place. I suggest islands, self-contained controllable ecosystems, no surprises. Valleys work too. Your clients will be paying for adventure, not the unknown, the last thing you want is to send them unwittingly into the jaws of some unidentified alien.

Speaking of which, now your hunters need something to hunt. Again, there's no shortage of wildlife, you just need to pick the right targets. Too easy, and your clients will laugh; too hard, and they'll be eaten. Try to identify some aliens that are common and thrilling to hunt, they'll be your main roster. If there's anything else that almost fits that description, leave them as a bonus. When it's done, we'll buy a fleet of low-altitude ships to take home the kill.

This is a very expensive undertaking, as you know, and you'll need a lot more people to help you than just me. I suggest organizing a company, get some investors onboard. You're good at that.

Until next time, Serhiy Vereschagin.
