Sub: Explanation

Greetings leadership of the Colonial Republic. We haven't had the honor of talking with you ever since the alliance against criminal activity that plagues the independent worlds.

A while ago one of our pilots had the chance to talk to one of your people and the things he had to say suprised us. I need to ask you if what he said was true or just the opinion of a minority among the Republic that has different approach on things. I've attached the discussion so you can see it with your own eyes.

[21.12.2012 07:07:23] [HF]-HFL-Iron.Throne: Would you not blame such attacks on the common pirates?
[21.12.2012 07:07:47] 2012-12-21 07:08:00 SMT
[21.12.2012 07:07:47] CR-Nightfall: Ah yes but if Libertonians did their jobs, this wouldn't happen
[21.12.2012 07:08:03] 2012-12-21 07:08:16 SMT
[21.12.2012 07:08:03] [HF]-HFL-Iron.Throne: Liberty's forces may be unintentionally spread thin. It is a status we monitor intently.
[21.12.2012 07:08:21] 2012-12-21 07:08:34 SMT
[21.12.2012 07:08:21] CR-Nightfall: Yes, we would like to use this to our advantage

[21.12.2012 07:08:47] CR-Nightfall: We need a cause to go to war with Liberty, but we already have that figured out

[21.12.2012 07:09:26] 2012-12-21 07:09:39 SMT
[21.12.2012 07:09:26] [HF]-HFL-Iron.Throne: If the reports are true, Gallia has sundered your first home and driven you from the Tau cluster.
[21.12.2012 07:09:36] 2012-12-21 07:09:49 SMT
[21.12.2012 07:09:36] [HF]-HFL-Iron.Throne: Are you really strong enough to undertake such an endeavour?
[21.12.2012 07:10:06] 2012-12-21 07:10:19 SMT

[21.12.2012 07:12:39] [HF]-HFL-Iron.Throne: Indeed. I must caution you, though... a war against Liberty is a blood endeavour.
[21.12.2012 07:12:59] 2012-12-21 07:13:12 SMT
[21.12.2012 07:12:59] CR-Nightfall: We can see that, but I don't think they could sustain a war on two fronts
[21.12.2012 07:13:09] 2012-12-21 07:13:22 SMT
[21.12.2012 07:13:09] [HF]-HFL-Iron.Throne: Their fleets are massive, and will crush those without the willpower to stand against them.
[21.12.2012 07:13:45] 2012-12-21 07:13:58 SMT
[21.12.2012 07:13:45] CR-Nightfall: Our allied fleet would be able to go against them. Just need them under skillful hands
