Agreed. And he claims that his vessel is a defense ship ? Certainly not how he uses it, assisting a 'sair battleship and an order Osiris against four gunboats and a few fighters, especily when the 'sairs had swarm of fighters of their own, according to my sources.
We are neutral. That means only attack those attacking us or our allies directly. That does not mean flying to someone elses home system to engage in a massive over use of force.

You'd be best off not talking about battles you did not participate in.
Their forces consisted of at least four gunboats accompanied by three bombers and a mulititude of fighters. That so called "Order Osiris" was actually a Light Carrier. We brought what we could to avenge those whom were lost. The sair battleship was pelted by Supernova shots, we had to step in and assist them against the tyrants. The corsairs may be loose allies, but they are friends of the Zoners against such treaterous men.
"Break the will of an enemy so he will choose not to fight us, or our allies, anymore. As for the tally of vessels, I am only able to question how someone who's business is so far from the Omicron systems, in particular I see your majority of activity is as Bethlehem, has the resources to gather information on a post-battle report.
"For the record, I identified two Outcast model gunships, and two bomber-class ships loaded with Supernova torpedoes and Antimatter weaponry. This is aside from the flurry of fighters the Joker had at his wing. Furthermore, there was no Osiris in sight during this battle upon my arrival, unless it was destroyed beforehand. There was one Corsair destroyer, an Order "Geb" series vessel, and the Jinkusu, along with my Fearless class vessel. Though it was excessive, I would rather the Joker fear the retribution of the entire Zoners Guard every time he dares to seat himself in a spaceworthy ship, than have him laugh at our lack of response thus far, a lack of response that has made the Zoners Guard look weak and content with inaction, versus retaliation for our people who's lives were lost."
I have that information, captain, because during my last voyage to that part of space I seeded the region with survey probes. Very highly advanced probes.

Its very interesting, this new information I have myself. I'll be glad to tell the Corsairs you seeded their HOME system with probes. Curious, It appears the TAZ and OSI had made some unspoken treaty with the Joker. And how fast they responded to his cries for help on a different channel. I have spies everywhere too, You know. I dont go snooping around on Corsair Homeworlds, either.
Where did I say I seeded gamma with probes ? The comms chatter alone was very telling.
And you must remember that while standard transmissions dont have a range greater than several light years, with specialized techknowledgy such as a probe network, you can piece together the transmissions at a much greater range, especily when the transmissions are leaking thru nearby jumpholes.

My personal response is simply how dare you endanger us all again for your own ego. Now we all agree that it was a tragedy that day and we all have different opinions on it and we are entitled to them. All I know is I did not wish for it to happen again nor do I feel you right for using a mobile city as a war vessel. That is what the Aquillon Class Carrier is for. Now you put me and my colleagues in the middle of discussions on how to avoid further conflicts to our people we also have a ship of your size and class and it would be a shame if we where attacked and lost the many men and woman who eat live and work on the Klondike. Think about the future safety of all before thinking of the past. This did nothing but incite more issues and deaths. I have said my peace and will not speak on the manner in the future. I would also appreciate it if this stayed out of my companies politics this is my personal view they are neutral to this matter officially.
