With this transmission I would like to inform you the death of fourteen Liberty citizens at the hands of the Independent Miners Guild after a series of terrorist attacks.
It all started when the IMG unlawfully and in clear violation of our House's neutrality and freedom of navigation rights, pirated one of our transports. We contacted them about this matter, they refused to provide any compensation and blamed us for trading with House Bretonia.
So we took a look at their "IMG Laws" and we found no wrongdoing, no criminalization of trading with Bretonia. Instead we found this:

Several weeks after their piracy attempt which Universal did not reciprocate, we were attacked once again. This time our transport was flying to Planet Leeds to save innocent lives from the ongoing Gallic mass genocide. The IMG| pilot simply said that he wanted to send us a message. No demands were made, they just wanted to commit murder.
We contacted them again about this terrorist attack. They once again confirmed that their pilot was acting on their behalf. Those who support Bretonia are their enemies. The discussions ended early as they committed a series of new terrorist attacks -- they couldn't even respect our negotiations.
Again, no demands were made. They simply wanted to blindly murder innocent citizens of Liberty. They understand that Universal Shipping is unable to pursue and attack them in sectors such as Cambridge and Omega-3 and they use this advantage to its fullest.
It is also now clear that they have become instruments of the genocidal regime of Gallia.
We urge the members of the Government to address these actions and not leave them unanswered. If Liberty's crime is for assisting Bretonians, then all of us, including the Government is an enemy to the eyes of this tyrannical and terrorist organization.
