I can't quite put into words how uncanny the resemblance of your current situation is. Decades ago, before any of us were even a twinkle in the eyes of the men who brought us into the world, we were in the same situation. Commodities of convenience, human resources. Stepped on by bureaucrats with no balls and sold out by weasels in suits.

Skip forward just about two hundred years later and here we are. Men that earn a living the same way our predecessors did are being stepped on. It's no secret that when it happened to us, nobody cared or even lifted a finger. The millions of us were acceptable losses, cannibalized by the economy to sustain a few aristocrats who don't even wipe their own asses.

It pushed us, harder than any man should ever be. Drove us rabid. Calls for justice became roars for blood, gunfire replaced petitions and extremism was the only way anyone paid attention. And through it all, we were alone.

But now it's down to us. And with everything we've endured over the centuries of our existence, all the exploitation, oppression, torment and slavery through debt. We cannot look the other way. Not when the exact same thing is happening to good, free people. The kind of people we once used to be.

Assaults against Bretonian commerce will be heightened. Any vessels found acting with hostile intent towards the IMG will be mercilessly hunted down in Liberty and along the borders. Every bomb, every weapon, every bullet the Alliance has down to its own fangs is going to be aimed at the jugular of any son of a gun who thinks he can step on men who want to be free.

To our "rivals" in the region, you know who you are. In the interest of something more important than our own animosity, the Alliance will ignore you and prioritise the real threat. Return the favour or do not. It is up to you.

The Xeno Alliance will not sit idly by, not when we've been subject to the same crap but in a different era. Better to die with a gun in hand than a leash around the neck.
