Greetings ladies and gentleman,

I am contacting you today to inform you that, after careful consideration, my client, Cold Lake Industries, has decided that certain injustices may only be mitigated in a court of law.

Therefore, Cold Lake Industries (heretofore known as CLI) is filing a LAWSUIT against the Republic of Liberty for the following grievances:

1. Material Loss - approximately 543,000,000 sirian credits
2. Credit Loss - approximately 180,000,000 sirian credits
3. Time Loss - approximately 1,100,000,000 sirian credits
4. Insurance for families of deceased employees - 100,000,000 sirian credits

Total loss incurred: 1,923,000,000 sirian credits.

We are seeking restitution for the entire amount.

My client (CLI) feels that this issue may be swept under the rug, and we will not let this happen.

As I'm sure your well aware, murder has been committed here. This injustice will not be disregarded. This is not "business as usual", and we will see justice done.


Yours most diligently and respectfully,

Xavier Platte

Platte and Platte, Planet Los Angeles, California System

Mr. Platte, I do not believe we have spoken as of yet, however, allow me to keep this simple and brief.

You and your company are free to attempt a lawsuit against the Libertonian Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, if you feel so inclined.

However I should caution you that, of course -- We are a military organization, and therefore our operations are not usually governed by, or even related to civilian law. I do believe you will be hard-pressed to find a judge willing to stake his career on something like this.

Also I would be careful just whom you accuse of murder. The Department of Defense may have been in negotiations with Cold Lake Industries, however the fact remains that the facility was in violation of statutes governing national security -- as were the inhabitants of the facility in question.

And even still -- Naval Search and Rescue teams went into action immediately after the facility was destroyed, attempting to locate any survivors and treat their wounds.

Of course, I do not govern the Libertonian courts, nor anything outside of the Navy, so I am merely stating my intent to disagree with your claim.

I do not know if the courts will hear your case, but I do know that the Navy will fight this if it comes to it, and our JAG Corps lawyers are some of the best in Liberty.

Fleet Admiral Rachel A. Baker, Signing Off.

To the esteemed Republic of Liberty and Mr. Platte,

Because the determination of what is right demands the proper application of facts, law, conjecture, and speculation to the crucible of our justice system, I submit my services pro bono to the Republic in this matter. With over thirty years of trial work to rely on, I am more than willing to put my experience, as well as the experience of the 1723 attorneys, paralegals, and support staff of Alston + Spalding, at your disposal.

Our justice system is one that requires firm, dedicated representation on both sides of the bar for each party involved. Should the Republic select me to represent its interests, and should the good Mr. Platte consent to such, I look forward to a vigorous and fair disposition, whether through settlement or through the jury trial process.

Specifically to Mr. Platte, we are well aware of your prowess in the courtroom, and I would be most appreciative of the opportunity to work with you.

Truly yours,

Bobby Lee Cook, Esq.

My dearest Admiral Baker,

Good day. I understand your retiscence in this case. I am simply following what I believe to be the letter of the law.

Two points we would care to raise:

1. Platinum Incorporated also constructed their base before registering. These files are now available in the public domain. I am quite certain that this installation is still intact, no? So, I must inquire as to why one corporation receives a fine, and another receives enough plasma to destroy a small city?

2. I was not aware that the Liberty Navy is authorized to shoot and kill our own citizens, regardless of the circumstances involved. I'm certain the courts will be most keen on investigating this matter themselves.

I must admit I am discouraged that someone in your position wouldn't care to investigate the matter further, or were you already aware of this "miscommunication"?

These and other questions must be answered. We will press forward with our Lawsuit against the republic. If the courts feel we should instead sue the Liberty Navy, then we will of course oblige.

I am grateful for your service, Admiral. I wish you safety in your travels.

Yours most diligently and respectfully,

Xavier Platte

[Deep Space Engineering]

To whom it may concern,

• Greetings to all parties present. My name is John Patrick Doe, Chairman of Doe Industries and owner of Deep Space Engineering™. I am writing to confirm our role in this latest development.
  
  As the leading heavy industries company in the entire Liberty and Bretonian sovereign space, we are shocked to have learned that the Liberty Navy executed a search and destroy operation against a Deep Space Engineering sub-contractor.
  
  However, after one of our business associates came to us and after reading the incident report, we have determined that Cold Lake Industries is unbeknown to both Deep Space Engineering and Doe Industries. On this matter alone, I wish to express both myself and my corporations interest in this development to ensure that Deep Space Engineering, Doe Industries and our closest partner, Platinum Incorporated are not tarnished by the illegal doings and the public banter this illegal and unregistered group is committing.
  
  Pending the outcome of this matter, we will be filing a claim against Cold Lake Industries for 4 counts of criminal negligence resulting in the defamation of reputation of Deep Space Engineering, 1 count of forging false documents to gain a reputation using Deep Space Engineering credentials and 2 counts of criminal bribery against Deep Space Engineering staff.
  
  After the case against The Republic of Liberty is quashed, we will be filing a report with the Liberty Police incorporated and closing docking rights to all our facilities for Cold Lake Industries.
  
  Any further questions, please contact me at the below number.

My dearest Mr. Doe,

My client will press forward with this lawsuit, regardless of your support in this matter.

We are preparing a defense against your allegations.

Might I remind you that Platinum Incorporated had it's beginnings in precisely the same fashion as my client's? An unregistered base, discovered per chance by the Liberty Naval Forces, only to be found in breach of Section 2 Article I of the Laws of Liberty.

Platinum Incorporated was levied a fine. Cold Lake Industries had a half billion credit facility disintegrated.

There is no comparison, sir.

My client was simply awaiting approval or denial for our base's registration. As explained previously, CLI felt it more prudent to make it's operations known only after a working shield module was completed, with an adequate amount of fuel stored on the station.

The proper procedure in this case, and I think the courts will ultimately agree, would be to QUARANTINE and monitor the facility, until such time as a decision had been made. Had the registration for CLI Storage Facilty 2-B been denied, my client should have been given adequate time to remove personnel and personal property.

This was not the case, and now my client is labeled a criminal? This is most egregious.

My client would like to work with you in resolving this matter, and urges you to refrain from jumping to conclusions until all of the facts have been presented in a court of law.

Yours most diligently and respectfully,

Xavier Platte

To whom it may concern,

My client, Cold Lake Industries, discouraged by the Judicial system's silence on the matter, has decided, much to my chagrin, to withdraw their lawsuit.

My client would prefer to not waste any more time, as too much has already been lost.

Consider this matter closed.

Yours most diligently and respectfully,

Xavier Platte

[The Republic Of Liberty]

Platte and Platte;

The Republic's arrangements with the owners of the Platinum Incorporated facility are a strictly private arrangement, and are certainly not documents hosted in the public domain. Thus, your office has either stolen or been given access to classified documents, or you are falsely inventing the details of any arrangements that may or may not exist between the Republic and Platinum Incorporated.

This behaviour is absolutely unacceptable for any legal firms operating within the Republic. Your firm is hereby issued a 100,000,000 SC fine (payable to Ferris.Dufresne), and has its operating license revoked for six months with the possibility for an early review after three months, should you demonstrate good behaviour. Your firm's disbarring therefore disqualifies you from acting as a legal agent on behalf of your client.

- The Hon. Reynold Stark, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
