Yes it was quite a shock to find they had no respect for me of my other elder brothers, and indeed something has to be done to stop this farce quick so we can get back to what we need to be doing, killing are enemy's not bickering outside Crete.
I would like to no what Maniaco and Alex have to say before i make a decision on my position in all this.

First of all, I'd like to repeat what I said on Gamma system frequency several times. Mercenaries of any kind are no longer welcome in Gamma. They have been spotted several times attacking our targets in Gamma, groupped with enemy forces, and yet next day they dare to come and and say they came in peace. No way! I say in no way are we going let them to play with us any more! They always try to persuade us that we hired them in the past, but a true Corsair would never hire a mercenary to do the dirty job, that's the way those Outcast freaks do it so they keep their silky gloves clean! I suggest every mercenary should be asked to leave Gamma immediately and if they refuse, they should be shot on site.
Now, regarding the SCRA vs. Gentle tensions. I purposely wrote Gentle, not OPG, because I think this is his personal matter. If the leader of the Omega Pirate Guild doesn't respect us, Elders, and also those who were granted the only medal the Brotherhood has to offer, I think there is no way to force them to. There are more of brotherhoods and groups among Corsairs, some do respect others more, the others less, but we have to stay united as the Corsairs. So my point is, we can give them advice, but if they refuse to listen, we can't really do anything about it.
But speaking of using the technology of our sworn enemies, the Outcasts, this is absolutely unacceptable. I found even their usage of Albatross Cruiser rather complicated, but when I read Montoya's message, I was shocked. We can't let this happen. Let's send an open message to OPG asking them to unmount all Outcast equipment, but if they refuse, and they enter Gamma we'll have to shoot them for treachery, I am afraid. I am also sure we would have the support of the rest of the corsairs in this matter.
I am sorry if I sound too radical, but the whole unnecessary 'Getle vs. SCRA' incident is attacking my nervers maybe too much these days.

I would also like to reiterate what Maniaco has said, and i want to make it even clearer to the OPG not to let any Merc or BH whoever they are nowhere near Crete and indeed Gamma, we don't like them, they can not be trusted, you let them in and one could easy be an assassin to kill one of us, this is why we chance these people out of our home system.
Gamma is our sanctuary, the Mercs work for both sides whats to say next time you've let them in gamma its for a hit on your so called brothers, so we WILL keep gamma safe even if the OPG thinks its ok to let these kinds of things happen.
On the matter of the useage of outcast weaponry i believe it was one pilot and gentle made him change it but a i agree no true corsair would be seen mounting such weapons and i will shoot anyone who does..

I would like to make a honorable mention about Globle who has for the last few days been bringing big shipments in of nomad weapons, aswell as a few from the Velasco we now have more than enough for the time being.

Brothers,
I'd like to thanks to brother Hugo Alvarez, who has just donated 100 mils to our bank. Thanks very much , no we can setup 5 more new recruits and/or purchase some equipment for them.
Today while flying patrols in my bomber in omega 5 i got a message from our brother Skyelius that he had tried to tax Unselie in Omaga41 but she had run and was heading to my location, i engaged cruise and headed for the O5/O41 jump hole.
She jumped through and as soon as i got contact i started to cruise disrupt her, at this point Skyelius had also jumped through and joined me, he once again asked for tax but with no response so we both opened fire and destroyed the vessel.
She later started talking to me saying i will be dead soon or something at witch point a merc of some kind tried to engage me, in my bomber i could not do much against a fighter so Skyelius came to help, after a over 5 - 10 minutes i told him to leave it and head back to gamma, i did but Skyelius stayed behind and i heard later that he had disabled the fighter when a destroyer showed up so he left them to it and came back to gamma.
While i was back in Gamma i was basically threatened if we keep trying to pirate here she will make life hell for us, i told he that Corsairs don't take threats lightly and we would carry on taxing her until she came up with some viable reason why we shouldn't tax her.
To me she just seems to greedy to give us a few mill and would rather spend 100+ mill on bounty's, of course i told her to bring it on, we cant have a single trader dictate to the Corsairs massive empire.
If you brothers remember she was the one that put the other bounty on us a month or so back.
She is now KoS brothers, if your see the ship named Unselie anywhere chase here down and kill her without mercy at every chance you get, lets show her that crossing the Corsairs is not a good "business" plan.

I encountered the same thing the other day against her. She was in a GC trader doing the Corfu run. I attempted to pirate her and all I got were threats. Unfortunately I was unable to catch up so I moved back into Gamma to help out some other Corsairs. While there she started taunting me saying that I had no honor, I did a quick scan and she had hired 2 mercs and was waiting in Om 5 to have them kill me.
Well, I don't change my schedule around for some pitiful trader, so when I had time I recruited a couple other Corsairs (in case she called mercs in) and went to give her a lesson in humility. Needless to say within 5 minutes of the 3 of us engaging her, 2 mercs (1 fighter and 1 cruiser) and about 3 Bushido showed up and gave us a severe thrashing.
Luckily we did what Corsairs do best - 2nd to fighting of course - and high tailed it out in time to save ourselves. I was actually about to ask that we go after her since we cannot allow some Golden Chrysanthemum flower girl have free reign in OUR territory.
This lady thinks her "flower power" is enough to challenge us?? Lets prove her ever so wrong..
Yes by the order of the elders she will be hunted without mercy. Whenever we see her we will give chase and blow that sorry excuse for a trader to smithereens. I wont let one single flower/druged up/trader girl try to dictate to our massive Corsair empire, let her spend her hard earned money on mercs and Bounty hunters, if she only realized she was helping us train our new recruits, she will be a broken woman soon without a credit to her name! and we will have trained our young corsairs for free!.

Brothers,
Elders of all Corsairs who took part in the 'Council of the Corsair Elders' decided, that we all (TBH, SCRA, Benitez, OPG and LDDLG) are going to strike Rheinland from different directions. Move all your ships to the Yanagi Depod and get ready.
Our main attacks will be led by our flagship Altaneria as well as by the Velasco and will be coordinated with SCRA, who are going to strike from Omegas. Our battleships and their support are going to be hidden in the clouds of Sigma 13 to serve as a base of all our operations. Yanagi will be used mainly for supplies and other matters, that can't be done on our battleships. Remember that those Junkers cannot be trusted, so be careful.
If you aren't a part of major attacks, dont sit in the bar on Yanagi, but get your butt into your Titan and hunt some Cardamine smugglers, harass traders, disable trade lanes, raid the Rheinland bases, tax lawful vessels, attack mercenaries and bounty hunters as they will surely be joining our enemy in the major fights.
I am sure you all know how does a Corsair behave.
Long live the Corsairs! Long live the Brotherhood!

I will be moving all of my ships to the Yanagi Depot. I intend to fully submerse my fleet and ships crews into this battle. Not only for the honor and glory of all Corsairs, but also for my share of the considerable loot gained in victory.
Long live The Corsairs!
De La Vega out.
OOC: I have changed my char's name to "De La Vega". My original name was somewhat thought up on a whim and I also saw an outcast with the same name.. Not cool. My Titan will however keep the name Venganza for now.
