To: Theta Treaty signatories, From: The Deterrence

[Omicron Supply Industries]

Good day Dimitrious Konstantinou,

I’ve read through the collected responses to your message, and I can see the fire in the hearts of all signatories to defend the integrity of the Theta Treaty. It’s a fire I respect and share, but I also urge us all to be mindful of what has made this Treaty such a success: cooperation, pragmatism, and a commitment to building, not tearing down.

First, let me be clear: removing Voncloud was an outright disaster. The man had earned the trust of everyone involved and was key to the stability we’ve worked so hard to maintain in Omicron Theta. Phoenix’s move to replace him was shortsighted and reeks of internal politics at the expense of the community. I won’t sugarcoat it—this was the wrong decision.

But let’s not allow Phoenix’s folly to unravel what we’ve achieved. As others have wisely said, responding with aggression would only validate their paranoia and play directly into their narrative. That’s not who we are, and it’s not what the Treaty stands for. We’ve prospered by showing the strength of diplomacy, not by stooping to the level of petty disputes.

Phoenix might see the Corsairs and their allies as adversaries, but we know better. The Treaty has proven that collaboration leads to prosperity for all—whether it’s rebuilding Freeport Nine or maintaining Pygar as a haven for Zoners. Let’s stick to that principle.

Voncloud’s points about preparing for the inevitable struggles ahead are sobering, and I fully agree. OSI will do its part to support any Zoners displaced from Pygar. We’ll allocate resources to assist those in need, whether that’s through relocation, supply chains, or finding alternative opportunities. Pygar is not a lost cause yet, but if Phoenix’s leadership continues down this destructive path, we must be ready.

So to Phoenix, my message shall be simple: reconsider your stance. You can’t wall yourselves off and expect to thrive. The Treaty is not about surrender or domination—it’s about survival and cooperation in one of the galaxy’s harshest regions. The longer you fight that truth, the more you endanger not just Pygar, but all Zoners.

To all Treaty signatories I can only say: let’s stand firm, remain united, and show the wisdom of restraint. Keep the lines of communication open with Phoenix, but prepare for the challenges ahead. OSI will be here to support our community every step of the way.

Kind regards,

Bartholomew Kelsomagus - Chief Executive Officer - Omicron Supply Industries
