Sir,

The term "civilian" is very black and white to the vast majority of people in the galaxy. Nearly every civilian you see in Liberty is armed, and a good amount have fought or been forced to defend themselves in some capacity. Despite this, they are still categorized as "civilians".

While you may have had "difficult" interdictions with them as a Core Officer, the point stands: they are nowhere near capable of squaring up with Liberty's war machine. We have more pilots that are much more well trained; we have technology that, by comparison to them - makes them look like stoneage natives. The advantage is there; the beauracrats are making a bold consequential decision by using force to take over a planet they claim "harbors terrorists". It's well known that Xenos hideout on Pittsburg, and Rogues smuggle cardamine into the cities of Manhattan - yet no measures are taken that are as drastic as this.

Pennsylvania was not "Liberty" by default, the Zoners and other common settlers had a stake in the system long before we arrived. The bearuacarcy of Liberty could've chosen a much more vast variety of tactics to take control of the planet. Subjugating them with force tells someone like me (who's been an intelligence officer and a henchman) that they are in a rush or looking for a fight. In any case, the consequences of this will be unsalvagable. Enemies that were once diversified will have a reason to stop fighting each other and turn their guns on us.

I will not instigate hostilities with these people. But as you say, I will defend myself. Make of this what you will, if letting me go crosses your mind - I never deserved to be here in the first place.

Godspeed.
