Greetings,
This is Richard Lampkin, the representing voice of the Colonial Freedom Front.
To get right to the point, the rumors you have probably heard of us are mostly untrue and are fabrications put into circulation by the militaristic regime leaders who currently have a hold of the Colonial Republic.
We are not terrorists.
The Front's only goal is the liberation of the Colonial people, institution of a full democracy and the return of freedom into our lands. While we have no choice but to achieve this goal by forcibly removing the regime which has rooted itself in, we are doing our utmost to minimize or remove any unnecessary casualties.
We desire no innocent blood, and by that logic, we desire no IMG members' deaths.
However, while we are adamant in fighting exclusively the traitors of our nation, we cannot let anything stop us from freeing our people. We have held out hoping that the IMG would see reason and not involve themselves in an internal Colonial matter, one which is essentially a civil war of sorts.
We do not demand your aid, for we are aware of the Guild's historically sensitive diplomatic situation. Our interests do not lie in weakening either the Republic or the IMG, therefore allowing the Outcasts to prevail. We have not forgotten who our external enemies are.
We merely ask that your forces do not involve in any hostile acts against the Colonial Freedom Front.
While we have expressed our utmost hope in avoiding shedding blood which need not be shed, if we are threatened and your forces engage in hostile acts, we shall have to, while taking absolutely no pleasure in it, retaliate.
We have b[size=small]een meaning to make this communique for some time, and due to a rather awkward incident earlier this day, we are forced to make it ahead of schedule.
In an action by our pilots earlier this day, Colonel Skalski, one of the key figures of the dictator regime, was intended to be apprehended and brought to trial, but after resistance, our pilots were forced to open fire.
Sadly, one of your members, identified by transponder as IMG|Kraken[D], has threatened to open fire if the Colonel's well being was jeopardized out of personal reasons.
We sincerely hope this was an isolated act and that you shall issue an order for all IMG forces not to involve themselves in this conflict.
I am also providing partial comm. logs pertaining to this incident:
Awaiting your answer,
Richard Lampkin
Colonial Freedom Front
