Mollies,
I am Colin Breen. You all know me, I'm sure... I'm a Councillor of the Molly Republic, and perhaps the most vocal one. For months, I have been advocating the cessation of hostilities between the Bretonian and Molly nations. The Kusarian menace, if it conquers Bretonia, would not hesitate to utterly destroy the Mollies and all that we stand for. The Corsairs seek to conquer us and replace our revolutionary presence in Bretonia with that of their evil, avaricious, empire. To this day, we have held fast, but barely. We have been fighting a war on these three fronts - the Corsair front, the Kusarian front, and the Bretonian front. Likewise, the Bretonians have been fighting the Kusarians, the Corsairs, and us Mollies.
I imagine we all know that if Bretonia were to fall to the Kusarians, Dublin would be the next system that the black, tentacled dragon of Kusari would reach for. With their fleet marshalled at New London, and fresh from victory, would they hesitate to grab the jewel of Sirius, the sole source of gold? Of course they would not! They would take Dublin completely, blasting the Essex, Graves, the Hood, and Arranmore into clouds of dust, and from their ashes they would forge a new Kusarian Empire, fueled by the monopoly of gold. The threat from the Corsairs is none less dangerous, though it would not involve the fall of Bretonia. They seek to destroy us and take our place in Bretonia, and solidify the control of the gold, forming a similar, but piratical, empire from which they would spread into the remaining regions of Sirius they have not yet infested with their grasping greed.
But today, our fears change. Today, our world changes.
Today, the Molly Republic signed the armistice with Bretonia, ending hostilities between our nations for the time being. As I have told us all, and as we all know, we have many more important things to worry about - Kusarians and Corsairs namely, and if either should triumph, our home will fall. We fight for freedom for us, our families, and workers that are like we all once were. There comes a time, though, when we must think logically - and that is this time. What is it to gain freedom, but to die without giving our children a chance to a free world? It is nothing.
If we do not collaborate with Bretonia to hold the vile Kusarian dragon at bay, or the tentacles of the Corsair's piratical empire from us, our children shall never see the sun of Dublin freed. If instead we fight with Bretonia - as many wrongs as they have dealt us - and repel the menace of the Kusarians and Corsairs, Dublin shall yet be freed!
Will freedom come from our brute strength and terror making Bretonia recoil?
It has not yet, to this date; despite our best efforts.
Freedom will instead come from initiating diplomatic ties with Bretonia, and collaborating with them to defend their house from its impending doom - and ours by extension. By fighting by their side, we shall gain their respect, and we shall give them their freedom. We may hope that they will give us ours in return, for the lives we lay down, and will continue to lay down against the double menace that crushes sanguine Bretonia like the Pincer of Cancer itself.
But just as we are reddened and bloodied by this war, we are resolute, adamant, and determined that we shall triumph. We are Mollies, and we fight. We have always fought, for our lives and homes. We have never stopped our fight, and we never shall. We shall continue our fight... this struggle for freedom, alongside the Bretonians, now a nation sympathetic to us, for their freedom... for our freedom - against the two spreading empires. One, from the north, and one from the south, encroaching on us in their campaign to conquer this space we hold dear, this space we call home.
We shall ward off their blows, emerge victorious, vindicated, and free... and on that day, the sun of Dublin shall burn red - not with blood, but with the dawn of our liberty.

Goodday! Brick here,
I am happy about cessation of hostilities between the Bretonian and Molly nations. But what bout this BMM miner buggers? Shall we let em be? Or shall we protect the Gold of Dublin? I was away for a while so I missed the singing and some details via private channels will appreciated.
with respect [MR]Flying.Brick

BMM are Bretonians.
Sometimes survival is more important than revenge, especially if you won't live if you revenge yourself. Our freedom shall be gained through peace instead of war.
This is the Captain of the Maverick.IV....My name is Bret and I have no last name to call myself..In the past few weeks I have been watching how fewer and fewer fights break out with Bretonian Forces and the forces of the Republic of Molly...I ,for the record, respect molly territory and unlike the BMM, I mine and transport no more than 500 units of gold from Dublin at any certain time.... However lately the Emipre of Kusari has placed a bounty on all junker ships for the likes of the BHG to take without question...So you ask why would I, a junker, take intrest in these affairs....well...I live in Bretonia and do not leave unless needed be...
Since I am an Indie junker...I have decided to do the following:
1. Aid any vessel of Bretonian and Molly Callsigns under attack from Kusari and Kusari-like forces
2. Transport goods to help in the fight against the enemy...
In return I ask to be allowed to continue to mine and transport 500 units of gold ore and protection from the BHG until either the war or the bounty on junker vessel ends....
