' Wrote:The Coalition is an army, capable of universal destruction whoever the enemy. We will crush you. But I don't expect you to listen now. Why break a habit of a lifetime? Once you've sacrificed most of your group of disillusioned thugs, you'll see what I mean.
Just something I noticed in your last transmission, you are describing your forces as 'an army, capable of universal destruction whoever the enemy.' If that was so, why do you not yet own all of Sirius? So far as I can see, the Zoners tolerate you- for the time being, you have no allies in or out of the Houses. You are but a small band of men, based on a ideal without the means to back your threats up. If you choose to violate Gamma, or any Corsair space the full wrath of the Corsair nation will be brought to bear against you. We can muster thousands of pilots against your, few hundred maybe? Every man, woman and child will answer the call to arms if need be. You cannot bring the Empire to it's knees- even in it's currant weakened state. However, I stand with the acting Commandante, Praetor Zavier on this issue, but if I find you have so much as scratched the hull of one of my hermanos, you will pay.

Brothers, Centurions, Elders. I have been inspired by Centurion Sephardi to plan an operation in Omicron Delta. I realize we have not only the political problem of the Benitez, and the SCRA, but I feel as though honor would dictate our actions in these dark times more so than any of this. It has been documented repeatedly that Delta is under siege by the Nomad group 'Keepers.' To let our defense of that system atrophy is a disgrace.
I would like to move a sizable TBH fleet to Delta to hold that system. A secondary command center can be set up on the Cazzadora. Under this plan, Centurion Sephardi and I would patrol Delta, Kappa, and the northern portion of Gamma regularly. Of course the fleet could be recalled on a moment's notice to defend Crete.
I would not think of doing any of this without the other Elder's and Centurion's approval/suggestions.
Lucendez out.

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
Well, it seems even you, great Elder of the Brotherhood, can't keep your comms frequency sealed. I suggest you look closer to home for your enemies, Montoya. Even your own kind are spying on you.

Hola Brothers,
I am one of the newest members to this fine organisation;
I have come to you today to report on a great victory for Corsairs everywhere. At approximately 1.15 AM (OOC UK Time) on January the 15th a fleet of outcasts entered our home of Omnicron Gamma and even right to Crete, this incursion was countered by a defensive fleet of mainly TBH pilots with two other local Corsairs who aided in the battle. Under the command of Ivan we engaged and defeated this Outcast threat without a single loss to our own forces, truly a victory without the bitter taste.
In the drunken celebrations following our wiping of the floor with the Outcast scum I'm afraid not only have I forgotten to all accuracy those members who participated but Matei spilt a beer on my ships console, frying my databanks, whilst the damage to my ship has been repaired I would appreciate it if all those who were there could post here so we may revel in it in the future.
Perhaps I can help you memory Jak? Our fleet consisted of 2 bombers 4 fighters and 2 battleships, one the Black_emerald and the other an independant Order pilot. The hostile fleet consisted of a destroyer 2 gunboats 3 fighters and 2 bombers. The destroyer was destroyed under concentrated fire from the battleships. Then a gunboat from one of my supernovas. Although the emerald was heavily damaged she still fought and defeated the last of the hostiles. Truely a great day for the Corsair nation. Viva Los Corsairs!
The scenario started with Banderas and I undocking from Crete, in our bombers. The Savana, was detected on long range scanners, I had hoped to have a little talk with Costello. To my displeasure the ship was being piloted by Ares, who of course was full of nothing but trash talk. It's funny that he was docked on Cadiz, as the Coalition claimed to have made an assault on Leon. In a ploy to get his attention, a recruit was chased through Omega-52 and all the way to Gran Canaria, only then did the coward, Ares show his face in a light fighter.
Banderas and Ares were locking in combat about fifteen minutes before my Raven's Talon arrived. By the time I got there Ares, had stripped our brother of all his guns, and I insisted that he pull out. I engaged Ares solo in front of Canaria as Banderas crash landed. Ares engaged me above Gran Canaria, what a sight it was, Due to the outcome of the battle with Ares using his mangled ship to dock, I'm sure the Coalition will regret the training they gave me. They have created one of their greatest enemies and I will make sure they pay.
These are the last recordings my black box picked up in my fight with Ares.

Brothers,
regarding those attacks in Theta - we need to be more careful.
I know the AW aren't there every day and sometimes it's tempting to ignore our mutual agreement (which prohibits any hostilities in Theta) when they are not watching and that there are also rumors that Zoner presence in Theta should no longer be tolerated. But remember, we still need Zoners. Mostly for supplying vital commodities to Crete, such as food.
Our Brotherhood is planning to build biodomes in Omicron 91 as the sun there allows it, but it takes some time. Please be patient and don't engage anyone in Theta unless you were fired upon.
Teresa out.

We have had a great victory today against the forces of the Coallition. A group of ships including Hermanos Denton, Bandars, Tinky, Marquez and myself (Sorry guys, there were others I cant remember), exacted revenge against SCRA for thier bombardment of Leon and Cadiz. Former "Elders" Costello and Ares, were brought to thier knees by the might of The Brotherhood. The Havana sustained critical damage and was forced to land on Gran Canaria. Same for that scum Ares. Our Bombardment crews then targeted SCRA barraks and Hangers on Gran Carania, and destroyed them with orbital bomardment. Having finished our task, Our forces returned to Crete. I will be deleyed in my return to Crete, I have docked at Cadiz to send this report and check up on the repairs from the SCRA attack.

Today i had a artifact transportation to the Junker base Rochester in the heart of Liberty, so i was asking for escorts. Three of your honourable members Ivan Voronov, Matej and OR were so kind and reported in to escort me. Unfortunately OR seems to had some malfunctions with the controls and was heading back. We made the tour without any trouble and returned with a full load of food, pharmas, light weapons and customer goods.
It was without trouble til we met the infamous Invincible in Delta. I managed to bring the transport to crete safely, while your men were grouping to face the enemy. Right after the landing, i jumped into my Fighter for assistance. Well, the battle was going unfortunatly for TBH.
However the run was profitable and i want to spend 7 mill credits to TBH for the well done escort job. It may help with your efforts to keep our home a safe place. Please, let me know, when and where to transmit the credits.
The infamous invincible was sent packing last night by myself and several wings of Benitez tagged vessels under the command of Zavier Benitez. I believe the Brettonian felt that being exposed to vacuum would have ruined his tea, so with his hull almost gone, and trailing a wake of his own shame leaking from his ruined vessel, he fled to the Freeport.
Why the Zoners tolerate this fool is beyond me.
At least the invincible's captain showed that he does have a semblance of a brain, running from Corsairs is always a wise thing do do.
