Greetings Admiral -
Apologies for the delay in sending an official communication t' yourself and the Armed Forces.
We have received your reports concerning undesirables around Freeport 1, and I am aware that another member of the CoF has responded t' some of your communications t' us. But given recent events, I felt it proper t' contact you directly.
First let me start by saying that the actions of the rogue elements of those flying under the identifier of ORIZON| and [ZMCS]- do not operate under the approval of the CoF, OSI, or IRG. Their actions are not only alarming t' the BAF but t' us as well, and they do not represent Zoners as a whole with their actions. Having reviewed the message you sent t' Sean Goodman, as well as receiving his guncam footage, I am shocked, saddened, and eager for answers following the events the other day. Rest assured, the CoF will not tolerate those who break our neutral stance and engage in offensive actions that are not warranted or in self defense. We in the CoF still follow the Treaty of Snowdown, and I personally have ensured that the IRG under my lead does so as well. I'm confident that the directors of the OSI will agree.
Regarding these groups, we will be conducting investigations on both of these groups and the shameful actions conducted by them. While I hope this matter can be resolved peacefully, I understand as well that their actions have more than likely caused wheels t' turn and more direct consequences will befall them. Should we engage in communications with them prior t' the BAF arresting these individuals, I assure you that all communication logs will be provided t' the BAF as a show of faith and reassurance that the CoF had no part in the atrocities committed, nor condone those actions in any regard.
I hope that this does not put a stain on our understanding and relationship via the Treaty, as rogue elements do not represent the whole, whether belonging t' Zoner or the BAF. We will provide updates as soon as we have them, and I would hope the same courtesy is extended us as well, given we both are eager for this situation t' be resolved and those aggressors answer for their crimes.
Regarding the report of RHA in the area, I have just received word concerning that event, and we will be discussing soon with the rest of the Confederation.
Safe skies Admiral.
