To whom it may concern;

Over the past few days, the Legion has been enacting a search-and-destroy operation within the Kansas system in order to purge the sector of new installations which harbour our enemies.

During this combined fleet action, the Legion assaulted a base called Key Axial. While in combat with the base's defenders, a pair of Zoner Juggernauts appeared on the scene and attacked the Legion forces present. It appeared to us that they were acting in defence of this base, and to aid a Liberty Carrier belonging to the Corona Battlegroup.

However, after calling a cease fire, we were informed that neither was this base harbouring the Legion's enemies, and neither were the Corona Battlegroup still affiliated with the Libert Navy. However, the Juggernauts were not summoned by any members of the Key Axial base operators. This brings me to the core of the Legion's concerns.

The Juggernauts Infinity.One and MCS-Forlorn.Hope have both engaged Legion forces and are suspected of supplying a Liberty Rogue base in the Kansas system. Thus, if any of you have any sway over the captains of these vessels at all, I urge you to have them leave Kansas and the Legion's domain. Should you be unable to convince them, the Legion will announce its ultimatum to the Kansas system. We will offer them one last chance to leave, or they will be destroyed along with the pirate base they are aiding.

As an aside, one particularly aggressive captain of a Juggernaut called H.M.S-The.Bald.Eagle is similarly suspected of supplying this pirate base, but the Key Axial's administrator told me that he believed this vessel had already departed the Kansas system.

The Legion bears no ill will towards the Zoner peoples, and have had particularly calm relationship with the Temporary Autonomous Zoners. However, we cannot abide by treachery and underhanded tactics which support our enemies.

Hello, there... Admiral Kinnaird...

I may not have 'sway' as you say, over these captains... perhaps I can shed light on who you are dealing with... There had been a number of reports that the captain of the Infinity.One had actually found it prudent to park directly in front of Planet Manhattan...


More and more warhungry Captains have taken command of our Juggernauts... I feel they are imitating the Zoner way just to get to our 'goods' if you will...

I don't believe any -true- Zoner will care if you dispose of them...

In fact, You'd probably be doing us a favor, getting rid of such a diplomatic headache...

Quote:However, the Juggernauts were not summoned by any members of the Key Axial base operators. This brings me to the core of the Legion's concerns.

That solidifies my point... People comandeering our ships possibly nefariously just to make war where it is not needed nor wanted...

I am incredibly glad that you understand that not all Zoners are this way, and this is -not- representative of the Zoner peoples as a whole. That is quite rare to find.

Glory to the Ascension,

Administrator Orphelia;

Thank you for providing the Legion with this valuable information as to the temperament of the Infinity's captain. It will be helpful in our dealings with this ship in the future.

Believe me when I say I would take no pleasure in being forced to destroy this vessel, but if it comes to that, I will take minor comfort in the fact that it may have done someone a mote of good.


"KSC" Mnemosym;

We will respect your wishes for us to disable these vessels without destroying them utterly. However, many things can be uncertain in battle, and it may come to the stage where the Legion's only option is the complete destruction of the ships. Should this occur, it will not have been of our desires, but merely a necessity for survival.

Additionally, we cannot be held responsible for the lives of the ship's inhabitants as long as these mad men are commanding the Nephilims. Blood lies on their hands for such a cowardly choice of bringing them into a conflit of which they do not wish to be a part.

As to the state of Kansas; yes, indeed we do consider it to be part of the Legion's domain. However, we have been beneficient supervisors, permitting travel and minor colonisation for those factions which do not seek to disrupt us or other neighbours.

Signed,
Admiral Kinnaird

So, let me get this straight. You attacked a base on suspicion that they might be harboring your enemies. Suspicions that turned out to be false. You would, therefore, have murdered hundreds of innocent people, and you're complaining that a couple of our Guardsmen stopped you?

I could be misinformed, but I heard the CB have relations with the Zoners in the area, so it is very likely some of our people were on that base. And so I find that those captains responded as would be expected. In the future, maybe you should determine whether something is actually a threat to you, before you send out a fleet to destroy it.

Captain Trogdor;

A) No inhabitant of Key Axial was killed during the assault, as their defensive shield remained online. There were only a few cases of treatable injuries due to kinetic impacts on the station. Key Axial is still intact.

B) Communications with the base's administrator, initiated after a mutual cease-fire, determined that the Zoner vessels in question were in no way related to the station's operating factions, nor were they summoned or requested their aid during the assault. They arrived and interacted purely of their own accord.

Admiral Kinnaird
