To anyone who may be concerned,
Dear Libertonians,
I come to you today to discuss a most serious matter. As you are aware (and as we have been made aware a short while ago), a small division within your ranks (calling themselves the "Corona Battlegroup", or something similiar) claims to have dominion of the Junction base wreck, in the Kansas system. Sadly, myself and.... associated interested people already had plans for it. As such, we were forced into a discussion with one of your gunboats. Sadly, he opened fire on one of our ships and we were forced to return in kind.
This is where it gets ugly. We had a meager force of two fighters and one bomber, while the gunboat quickly called for reinforcements (also from the Corona Battlegroup. The reinforcements turned into a respectable combat fleet, complete with a battlecruiser).
Sadly, as much as we hate the destruction of valuable ships, and *coughs* valiant fighters, we were forced to, let's say, put down this small hostility.
Final count: your entire fleet perished in front of our eyes, with some help from reinforcements on our side (comprehensible, looking at the size of the opposing force).
Sadly, one of our own was caught by surprise by the gunboat's initial unexpected salvo. The pilot is currently recovering in good care.
My friends, I apologize dearly for this unecessary shedding of blood. However, I'm afraid that, if such behaviour continues, such shedding will proceed.
Have a nice night now.
With utmost respect,
Joe
