At least you are one Zoner who dosen't attack us. However, there is substantial proof against Green.Hawk, which can not be changed by one person. Even some of us Corsairs belive it. On a side note, the KOS acts are too much.

What, pray tell, do you suggest we do about Green Hawk then Corsair? You tell us that firing on him is going too far, but what do you think would fix the problem? Our diplomatic approach hasn't worked, threats haven't worked, and we've seen the Corsair leadership is unwilling to resolve the problem they pose.
So I ask again; What further actions can we take save hostilities that will fix this problem?
The Corsair council does not have any authority on people who will not listen to them. In the mean time, you could bar him from landing on Zoner bases, or coming within 5-15 K of them. If he will not leave, then kill him, if you must.

Sister Aurelia, while your comments are appreciated, this matter was addressed to the TAZ. I'm sure eventually the Zoner Council will have its "turn in the barrel".
Fenix, you will address your remarks to me in future. That said, just what is your "official" position, if any, with the OPG...?
I believe I will wait until an actual "leader" of the OPG steps forward before lending any credence to your remarks, sir. Hope you don't mind.
For now, as I stated earlier, the ball is in the court of Green.Hawk and Tuco.Pacifico. If they wish to continue hostilities towards the TAZ, then so be it. They will remain on our "Enemas List."

My position, is that your "Spirit.Of.Freeport.7" Shot my gunboat, from his cruiser without any apparent provocation. I take offence at that.

RE: Apology on Recent Events
To the Omega Pirates Guild and the Corsair Council,
I do apologize for my delay in my response. I am just now able to personally deliver it.
First of all, Ambassador Holliday, you need not speak on my behalf even though it is appreciated. You had nothing to do with any of this.
To Senors Grimly, Fenix, Karolis and all other OPG personnel who were involved in the melee, I apologize for my actions that day. I have no excuse. I went to Omega 5 in pursuit of Tuco.Pacifica for his actions he continues to carry out against us. In all of the confusion, I engaged the wrong ship. By the time I had found Tuco, I found myself under attack by a dreadnought. I had no chance to leave under such fire.
I ask you all and the Corsair Council not to punish all of [TAZ] or Zoners for my own actions. If you all wish, I will present myself to face any charges. A good commander takes responsibility for his actions and I shall for mine. Once I am physically able, I will do so if you desire.
In the meantime, I humbly ask that my ship be allowed to continue it's training missions in Omicron Delta. The route used to get there is via Omega 47, 41, and passing from FP9 to Kappa via the Theta/Gamma jump hole to the Kappa/Gamma jump hole.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this and I await your decision.
My ship is not 'Mal's' Spirit.of.Freeport.7. I am currently an independant.
I've explained why I did what I did. If you have issues, please take them up with Mr. Grimly, as he's the one who started the shooting.
If the Council of Corsairs wishes me to do so, I will stand trial along with Commander Matok.
Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

RE: In light of the recent 'skirmish'..
First off, let me say, the OPG wishes for no hostilities with the Zoners, and your ships are welcome in all systems under Corsair control, except for Juggernauts, which we would rather not see in Omicron Gamma. Business as usual, so to speak.
Now, I'd like to ask Zoners, independent or organized, not to attack these 'targets' of yours while other Corsairs are present. By all means impose your own justice on them, but understand that the chance of Corsairs attacking any Zoners who attack a fellow Corsair, is very great, and tense situations like these are bound to arise. I for one would rather defend a Corsair and regret it afterwards, than let a Corsair perish under my watch and have that on my conscience.
In summary, yes, it is your right to impose your laws. At the same time it is a Corsair's right to defend a brother, so please, try to find a solution that puts both our groups at ease, and minimizes unwanted conflict.
As for the Zoner pilots and captains involved, I personally pardon all the Zoners who may have attacked OPG ships during these events, and ask the Zoners pardon the OPG or other Corsairs who may have destroyed Zoner vessels
As for what we will do with these trouble making Corsairs: It seems our definitions of 'criminal' are somewhat inconsistent. As you know, Corsairs depend on a somewhat 'unconventional' way of acquiring capital or goods, and, thought I do not condone it, I would also never dream of punishing a Corsair for being perhaps a little too zealous in his work supporting his family. Perhaps if you offered some donations for these men, they would not be so desperate.
Now let's put this behind us and I hope relations will improve to our mutual benefit.
