Munitorum Manual / Sector 3 / Aquisition of Supplies
1 - On Worlds where an Imperial presence is less than complete, supplies may be requisitioned by the Regiment by the transfer of Imperial Credit Units to the planet's Imperial Commander. Such transfers will allow the passage of goods and services to the regiment lest the Commander be found wanting in his duty to the Emperor. For a previously decided amount, the Governor must authorise the shipment of arms and ordnance, food and water to the regiments supply base. In theory, these things should be supplied as a matter of course, but the passing of Imperial Credit Units often helps to faciliate such transactions and negates any possible delay in resupply. When dealing with sucgh planets, it is often best to obtain some local currency to pay local 'go-betweens' who can help smooth the resupply process. Tough this is a distasteful practice, such things must sometimes be endured for the greater glory of the Imperium. Once supplies have been obtained in this way, any Imperial Credit Unit spent should be recorded for addition to the planets next tithe and will be claimed back by the Imperial Office of Outlays.
