To: The Brotherhood and Montoya
Although I would openly admit that I admire Gentle and his ideals of unification, there are simply too many variables that represent a problem to this. Firstly, as Montoya pointed out, their weaponry is a symbol of death to all Corsairs and their allies. That chevron-shaped destroyer, in particular, conjures feelings of remorse and retribution for our fallen and captured brothers. Secondly, the Cardamine trade. I would not even think about starting the process of reunification until every single field and blade of Cardamine has been burned to the ground and the Outcasts are once again human.
If Gentle chooses to go gallivanting around the Sector launching attacks and making his own alliances, fine. But ally with Outcasts, and betray your own homeland, unacceptable. Viva los Corsairs and strike down the traitors!

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
