Im ordering all Brotherhood members to stand down there attacks on Unselie while negotiations are underway.
Brother, please do what you think is right. As long as the honour of the Brotherhood is preserved. Like you say, we're not gonna bend over and take it... not from the Houses, not from the entire Outcast nation, and certainly not from some bloody trader with a chip on her shoulder the size of Planet Fuji. I trust you to bring this to a conclusion for the benefit of all concerned.
Message To: The Brotherhood Elders
From: Alejandro De La Vega
I mean no disrespect, but I hope we are not going to have some agreement with a GC trader pilot not to attack and pirate her at will.. I'm sorry but I do not feel that she deserves any special consideration.
She wants to fly through Corsair space, she SHOULD be subject to the will of the Corsairs. If she doesn't like it - she can FIND ANOTHER TRADE ROUTE! Not to mention that the Golden Chrysanthemums are allies of the Outcasts and thus, our enemies. For that fact alone she should be treated as the scum that she is.
If she wants that to change, she should give up her position in the GC and become a neutral trader. Then she will be treated like any other trader in our space - which means that she may still be taxed...
I am no Elder, and this is not my decision to make, but as a Corsair I feel it is my duty to stand up for the rights of all Corsairs.
Brother Alejandro, your commitment is commendable and your passion does you credit. But do not be so hasty to condemn someone. If some mutually beneficial arrangement is possible then we must explore it.
The Outcasts are our sworn enemy, and we are all committed to their destruction. That much is certain.... but because someone dresses themselves in the raiment of their allies doesn't mean their beliefs are set in stone. We should at least hear what this trader has to offer.
Regretfuly i can not make it to the great battle this week. The wife wants to take me to some Liner *sigh*. I shall see yall in a week or so.
(Going on holadays again)

Elders, I regret to inform you that I must report an incedent that occured in Gamma today. Apparently the fued between OPG and SCRA has heated up again. While 2 SCRA ship were aiding Scarloit and I in protecting Gamma from an AW that was in system, the Leader of OPG Gentle begain interacting with the SCRA piliots. He proceded to engage them at which point he was promptly destroyed by the SCRA. I tried to defuse the situation, but unfourtunatly was unable to. After Gentle's ship was destroyed, a OPG gunboat entered the area to countinue the hostilities. Unfourunatly, it seems we may soon have to take sides in this conflict.
Unfortunately, I have received a message from my SCRA comrades stationed to defend Crete.
Apparently an Asgard Warrior thought that he could attack Gamma, and a Phantom who was in the area. No surprises there, so my troops, with Brotherhood pilots, engaged the Asgard pilot.
However, the OPG also got involved. They shot at the Phantom, and provoked my pilots into an engagement. The OPG ships were scrapped, as expected.
Last time I checked, bringing the Phantoms down on Crete is not on the Corsairs' to-do list. Neither is aiding the scum that have been attacking our damn homeworld!
Suffice to say, if the OPG turn up on the SCRA's scanners, they will be cleansed from the face of the galaxy. Do not expect us to turn from this course of action. We've been too lenient in the past and so have yourselves.

To: TBH and Ares of the SCRA.
Thankyou again from defending our homeland from this filth that nibbles at our side. I am of course referring to the AW.
Now, on to the OPG. They should not be starting any conflict in Gamma with our neutral parties. And, ignoring the calls for their attacks to stop, replying with insults is asking for trouble.
I will discuss this with the Elders, as I know they will have something to say on the matter. Besides, I thought the OPG had left Gamma under their own orders? Seems that they have come back to pick a fight. With the Phantoms no less. This will be sorted as fast as possible, you have my word.
For now, your business with the OPG is yours alone, Ares. However, when a decision is reached, we will take a course of action. I hope the action decided on is pleasing to you, but it is not up to me alone.
All pilots of the TBH, do not defend or attack OPG forces or attempt to aid the SCRA against them for the time being.
Please understand Ares, the decision is not mine alone, and I cannot take a course of action without the consent of the other Elders.
Hermanos, I am being frank coz I know it will not go outside these walls.
I have had it with OPG. Once their warlike ways and their feud with SCRA was just stirring the pot. But now lives of our people are lost, and this feud is escalating into a war with us in the middle. We have tried and tried to bring them to the peace table to no avail. Now this latest installment, where they have completely ignored a dreaded enemy of all Corsair people to shoot at one of our own, has done me. It proves beyond doubt OPG have relinquished all ties with our people. It kills me to say this but they are no longer Corsairs, and I turn my back.
As Juan says we should stay neutral in this feud as far as practiable... but if it comes down to it, I would side with SCRA. Yes they are a proud and dangerous people; but time and again they have proven themselves honourable and worthy brothers, even when we have been less so.
As for OPG... tolerate their presence in Gamma, for now.
