Incomming Transmission
Comm ID: Elder Montoya
Comm code: RED.
Destination: All Corsairs
News, a long time coming, but inevitable. The Brotherhood has declared a state of hostility to the SCRA. The reasons inculde an unprovoked attack on my dear friend, who I owe my life to, Ivan Voronov, and the constant disobeying of requests and eventually orders to leave the system.
Aboard the new Battleship, the Memoria, the cruiser Ho Chi Minh's shields were brought to 10% capacity. He complied with this small amount of ... persuasion.
Later, recieved transmission from said cruiser, claiming to have attacked and severly damaged Leon. I think he missed the holes in his ship from the station mounted torpedo launchers and neutron batteries... certainly, Leon has reported very few casualties.
In case this isn't clear, I will make it so. The disobediance, arrogance and propaganda from the Coalition is not to be tolerated any longer. Fire on sight, no exceptions.
I urge all Corsairs to shed the lies of the Coalition and unite against them. However, this is only an urge, and independants with other factional Corsairs are not obliged to assist, even though it would be greatly appreciated. They did, after all, claim to set Leon ablaze.
Also, if Joe Costello is reading this, I extend a hand of salvation to you in the name of the Corsairs and the Brotherhood. This is the diplomacy you wanted. This is the diplomacy we work by with factions that should never have entered Omicron Gamma. Join us again and shed the lies and shackles of the Coalition. Be not eager to impress in your new poisition, but this is your only chance, before a full scale war comences, to return to us. Please make the decision based on the feelings of your heart, where your home is and what you stand for.
