Subject: Re:Leaving the Brotherhood
I understand that the Corsairs must protect Crete and if that means attacking the Hunter scum in other systems, so be it. However, everything I said in my last transmission was true, meaning that fight was totally unfair. Trust me, I would not let a Bounty Hunter pass through Omicron Gamma without giving him a fight first, but at the very least you could've pulled back 3 of those ships. What happened out there was a manslaughter, not an honorable fight. As much as I hate the Hunters, they should be allowed a fair fight.
After my parents died and I was forced to fend for myself, a Bretonian man I attempted to pirate showed sympathy and took me in. At first, I resisted, but eventually, their words and kindness got through to me. He was the one who taught me the meaning of honor and I will never forget what he did. He tried to turn me away from piracy, but when I refused, he still respected me for my decision and understood my reasons and that made me who I am today.
As of now, I am a Freelancer operating in the Omicron and Omega Edge Worlds. If you ever need me, call on me. I may have left the Corsairs, but that doesn't mean I can't help the ones who I've known for so long. Once things calm down I bit, I will return. Hopefully, you will let me return when the time comes.

Subject: Voiding My Transmission of Resignation
As I about to place all my equipment on the Arca, I saw 2 Hessians attacking Tripoli Shipyard, so I immediately took off to kick their sorry butts for entering our home. As I destroyed both of them (seriously, I destroyed both in my bomber), I realized that I had made a grave mistake in leaving the Brotherhood. Luckily, Elder Sephardi welcomed me back with open arms and as of now, my transmission of resignation has been voided. I am now back in the Brotherhood ready to fend off anyone that gets in our way.
Viva los Corsairs!
Sincerely,
Brother Carlos Rivera

//Ok, yes I am back, but I still don't want to see anymore episodes of what I described in my last post. The bomber fight I described here was pretty fair I think and that made me rejoin. Hopefully we can have more of this and less of getting a whole fleet against a few fighters/bombers.

Good. I would hate to be short a member. We need all of our strength to defeat our enemies! I try to fight as fair as possible. But there are those times when you need to pull an Ace.
We may have some less than savory persons amongst us. A corsair cruiser, The Royal Fortune engaged a Liberty class cruiser, The [ASF]Goran which had Navy IFF and was ID'd as a bounty hunter. During the chase and demise of said ship, the Royal recieved an odd transmission.

From: Miguel
Brothers, what has become of us? It seems some of us have gotten to happy with out lot in life, we have become content, even fat on the good life we have been living on Crete. It is time for all of us to remember why it is we paint the Cross upon our ship and what it is the Brotherhood Cross stands for, because it seems we may have forgotten. We are the Guardians of the Corsair Empire, and we must act like it. Yes the raids by the Bounty Hunters and Outcasts have slackened, but it as times of quiet that we must be most vigilant. The threats are still there my Hermanos, they sit quietly in the darkest edges of our perception. They lurk, reminding us that we must be ever vigilant. We have new intelligence reports of the Bounty Hunters Guild working on building bases throughout the Omicrons and Omegas and that they should be operational within months, that along with increases in activity by the Red Hessians and Mollies, make our role more important than ever. Also we must not forget the ever growing threat from the Nomads and the Outcasts. We have reports of the Outcasts working on new ship designs to counter our ships, but we are also working on plans of our own, and within the next months we plan on making our fleet lighter and more effective. It is time for all Brotherhood pilots to remember why they joined in the first place, and it is time to remember who and what we are. WE ARE THE CORSAIR BROTHERHOOD...GUARDIANS OF THE CRETAN EMPIRE!!!!!!!

Elder, where are all the brothers. Gamma Space has been infested with bounty hunters, Unwanted Traders and independant Corsairs not worth the ships they fly in. I have gone out for patrols almost everyday, and have only briefly encountered the Tinky. No other of my brothers have been seen. Last night alongside OPG we wreaked havoc on the sigma's, just enforcing our rights.
Then on the other we have unauthorized Capital ships under the control of independants captains with no regard to Corsair law, and no understanding of our rules.

Subject: Patrol Report
It has been nearly 6 months since I was last on the field, after that fateful raid on Alpha back then I have been in the recovery room since then. But now I am ready for battle once again. Thanks to my elders they have agreed to re-supply my ship. As of right now, my ship passes checking standards and I am good to go.
Later that day while on patrol in Gamma, fellow Corsair Pedro, and his friend Lucas were under attacked at the Theta jumphole by two Outcasts, one being in a destroyer, the other a fighter. With the help of a Corsair drednaught we had successfully defended our home and chased the fighter out of space back to Eta. Apparently that [RA]Wanted was still interested in avenging his destruction. While he charged us once more we took him out once again. After his three failed attempts to kill at least one Corsair he finally had realize he will not win and had retreated back home.
I am back to server my brothers, sisters, and Elders of the Brotherhood. For Crete!

Subject: Alpha Raid
After we have defended off Gamma from Outcasts attacks through out the day it was our turn to strike. We had assembled a fleet consisting of 3 Gunboat, 1 Dreadnought, and 5 bombers/fighters. It took us a great amount of work to assemble this force but we pulled it off and rendezvous with everyone at Freeport 9. Once gathered we made our way to Eta were we crossed the system to reach our destination Alpha. Once in Alpha we remained quite to have the element of surprise among the scums called the Outcasts. Once within 20k of Malta we mad our move and charged the planet. While charging the planet we took down four rookie Outcasts pilots and held down the docking bay to Malta for quite some time.
After some time Outcasts defense units arrived prepared with 2 Outcasts destroyers and 6 fighters. We manage to destroy the destroyers but lost our heavy artillery in the process. It seemed we spared kills for every time we killed one, we would lose one and they get another reinforcement. After killing nearly 12 hostiles we were overwhelmed by the reinforcements the Outcasts got and were forced to retreat.
All together it was a good raid, but came at many costs. I wish the best of luck to those pilots missing in battle, and to the families of those lost. May the Corsairs stay strong.

Subject: Action report-Sigma-13
My brother, Valentine and I headed out to the Sigma-13 system to see what was going on. From the reports we heard, there were multiple sightings of Blood Dragons in the area. Once arrived we came across a blood dragon gunboat and he ran like the coward he was. After a few minutes another Blood Dragon cruiser was in sight and ran at near destruction once again. Blood Dragon cowards! At the leave of the cruiser, a Blood Dragon Bomber came into view and engaged. He took out Brother Valentine, and we collided which destroyed both our vessels. Luckily we were still okay with minimal injuries.
Later that night Elder Sephardi, Brother Valentine and I had engaged in several rounds of training in the orbit of Planet Crete. With close observations I've decided that the Nuclear mine launcher does more harm to the user flying a titan than its opponent. I've decided to give up my Nuclear mines, and instead use missiles. So far this change shows much improvements.
