It started in September 818 A.C. right after the incident with Guild Core when their capital fleet assaulted Freeport 11. In that time while the Zoner Alliance still standed, Zoners were attacked by terroristic group known as the "Omegas Halifate" - first in Omegas, then in Omicrons too. They appeared to be a radical group of Corsairs attempting to disrupt the peace between two sides - Zoners and Corsairs and set the chaos around. The whole stuff was also powered by bounty on Zoners set by a certain Outcast and finally resulted in Zoners stopping regular food shipments to Crete due to the danger.Nobody expected that just a few weeks later Corsair Elders will simply use this incident to justify the open hostility towards Zoners all over the Omegas and Omicrons. To be honest, it was a massacre. First time it was a knife in the back during collapse of Zoner-Bretonia relations in Omega-3, that forced the fallout of Zoner Alliance, then in Omicron Theta. Both times there were capital fleets mortairing the stations, both times there were casualties. Many of them. Men, women, children, a lot of innocent people who died because of something going mad.
It's not a conspiracy. We know that in those times when half-a-Sirius was shooting Zoners for those large bounties Corsairs just declared Theta their space. And mass murder seemed to be a suitable argument for them. Three Freeports were massively assaulted. I don't call it war. I call it genocide.
Finally, can you imagine who became Corsairs closest friend and partner on those matters? The well-known Bounty Hunters Guild with its secret capital fleet located in deep space. That's why it's all getting too far and should be stopped.
