Following the Nomad Wars we nurtured you. We birthed Harbinger, the greatest of your kind. Naive enough to hope that perhaps among the ashes of the old war our people could know peace.
You defy this notion. You slaughter the possibilities with each innocent Libertonian life you take, and so we are forced to act. We have prepared the Phoenix Accords, a doctrine named of your womb in the sky you've shunned, by which you will conduct yourself or face the Legion's wrath.
The Phoenix Accords Wrote:
• No K'Hara may operate in Liberty space & the Indpendent Worlds with vessels gunboat class or larger.
• No K'Hara may engage civilians under any circumstances, even in self defense.
• All K'Hara or other proxies will disclose their position and intentions to the Legion at all times while in Liberty space & the Indpendent Worlds.
• All K'Hara or other proxies must operate with the end goal of mutual trust, understanding, and cooperation between our kind and your own while in Liberty space & the Indpendent Worlds.
A wise man once said the flame which burns twice and bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very very brightly. We would take no pleasure in seeing your fires burn out.
Signed,
Lord Commander Samuel Locklear
Executive Commander Damian Moreno
Star Colonel Jordan Lancaster
Grand Admiral Christian Revels

My charge is to dispel misunderstanding. So without judgement and assuming you have none yourselves I think it would behoove you to listen.
As fate would have it... and as.. highly unusual the case is. Your message was passed on to us. The reason isn't an insult or a letdown, quite the contrary.
We speak and understand humans better then even former humans. So in attempting to contact... "The local addressee" you set off the whole community. They seem to think ... this is important. But I know better.
Your message...
Disappointing could be fair if you were in a position to 'have' expectations. None of you are in our collective memory as having anything to do with what you claim though curious to hear how you've come to this idea of familiarity.
What is it your attempting to gain by talking down to an entire species that contemplated and played about the stars before you were bubbles of amino acids?
You invite the scrutiny when you make it. You invited the perception of you being slime the moment you presumed disappointment.
But understanding and respect can be preserved. Right now this matter is in our hands. Between Me.. And you.
I could tell them it was poorly worded.. that more understanding should be reached with the legion..
To my .. understanding no true meetings of the minds have occurred in quite some time and if you truly wish to abandon this, that is fine.
I would implore you to send someone...anyone.. neutral territory. I will be there.
But please do not bother with pretense, or blame, or actions. in which they have already memory about. Your data shots each tell a story that im sure you of all involved are ignorant. You can defy this.. you can say it doesn't matter.. but all you will do is demonstrate the ignorance and hubris that... so often degenerate into war... sadness.. and loss.
And as your flicker lives fade into the endless darkness of space... One would have to ask on mere science alone, who is built to remember you better? Human History? Or the lights living memory.
I am extending you the invitation for you to come and meet with us oracles to speak over all your concerns.. all your needs and all your goals. I can guarantee you.. if there is a way to help you we will work to do so.
But should you wish to disregard... or ignore this then I will at least give you as a boon... that they should ignore this transmission, as it was a mistake.
At least then your actions will speak more clearly. Then your words.

This is interesting. More paperwork.
To whom it may concern. The Commune have tried to stay out of this, but that's impossible given the fuss this created. I'll start with this.
The Commune have rarely ventured inside Liberty space, and even then, no civilian targets have been attacked, or even pirated. Whatever we have done in Liberty, you could hear on the news. The only targets we ever had in Liberty were, either the Navy or the local police, along with Bounty Hunters, and some Freelancers who thought they are a match for the combined power of the Maltese, the Rogues, the Light ones and us, the Commune.
On another note. We don't really own any capital ships, nor do we plan to. Actually. Yes, we do have our headquarters, yet we wouldn't bring it in Liberty for anything. It is where it is, and that's it.
And for the final word. Threats against the Light ones will yield no effect, as seen in previous cases all around Sirius. You know better than that. They go where they please, and appear in a form of their choice. You can't influence that..
Hola.
So I get the chance to personally address the Legion albeit under rather unpleasant circumstances. The dive into the past you did filled my dying soul with harmony as I was close to believe there's nobody left besides me to remember the days. Glorious times we all sorely miss, times that'll never again accompany us on our endeavours to history.
Nacions citizen, and the Ghosts for that even more, live close to those you called out upon and we've learned how to deal with them over the recent centuries. All your previous hope throw aside, leave all your wishful thinking that they're anything more than driven by their very instinct that this part of the universe belongs to them. Sure your, our and everyones else assistance is heartly taken by them in times of need, which they'd never admit, but in the very end they'll follow their initial path set. A path crossing mankinds own vision for Sirius too harsh to be resolved in a peaceful way.
The mindshare we, the you and me, remember is long gone. Replaced by something similar of a different nature. Forgotten are the deeds preceding the exodus of the Keepers. The Harbinger you birthed I last saw taking me to a place far from human reality and the blood in my veins literally cried as I felt this ones decline.
I'm well aware it means nothing to you but see your Accords signed by the 'HundredFirst under one premise: acting to defend itself.
Anje once mentioned their unforgetfulness scares her the most. And so shall we not forget about the past and sustain future events by relying on our beliefs that served us for many decades now. Whilst change is a necessity, there's limits to anything.
Take your time getting into contact with the Ghosts by the frequencies we already opened to the Legion [Contact]. As you've yet refused to come at us, we haven't had the opportunity to fill you in on various affairs surrounding the Upper Omicrons which actually may be of serious interest to you.
For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts.
Salutes.

Guten abend, Herr Locklear, Moreno, Lancaster and Herr Revels.
I can say I'm disappointed, but I can't say that I'm wondered by receiving this. It was quite expected that your sick Libertorian ego will reject the path of the Light sooner or later. The list of your demands however rather indicates that you and your people were not even close to even understand the nature of the Light. Should this event cause regret? Do we need such weaknesses coming along with us? I believe no. I think we also should not forget that you rejected the Orange gift and even more, you prevented the spreading of it which also does not describe you as reasonable people. I am even wondering why Light did not deal with you earlier.
For now if you pretending to be defenders of people why do you put them into the terrible danger? Why do you turning you people away from the path that leading to mutual prosperity of all beings and driving them to the abyss? There is only one answer, your ambitions and nothing more, but them. This is funny. because you don't need to be an expert in the history of the humanity to see that you are doing same mistakes generation after the generation and never learned well. But you see you have no right for this silly game anymore, too many blood flowed, too many tears cried. It looks like you missing your chance right now, it means only you will end like any other generation before you.

Lord Commander Locklear- and the rest of you sniveling little whelps that think yourself of a position to make such demands: your arrogance of your own strength and fortitude speaks volumes as to whom it is I deal with. Your vaunted revolution of deserters and cowards, quaking in the hulks of scrap metal and plasteel you refer to as your "warships" seek to undermine the very quintessence of power and knowledge within Sirius-- a combination of beings and individuals that strive for a greater purpose beyond your very comprehension.
Shall I lay down my weapons, my men, and my title before such a pitiful existence and beg for clemency as the worthless filth you command seek to uphold this hollow white-noise you deem as your demands before those infinitely your greater? Delivered in your own words was an attempt to scorn not only beings representative of the Lights-- but also every single warrior and Crusader of Malta's expansive reservoir of power and destruction. This pitiful display has not gone unnoticed, and will not be allowed to persist without ruthless exacted vengeance.
Malta's warriors have already spilled the pestilent blood of your kin in recent memory-- and many more now come to rend your people and vessels to shreds; not for any prior purpose of merit, but merely to remind the Hellfire Legion of it's fragile place in this world-- and how easy that place is to break and scatter to the solar wind.
Look now to those that follow you, and know that it won't be some divine purpose, some grand goal that breaks and maims them, destroying their lives and everything they held dear-- but rather the arrogance that you sought to impose on those that would let you fester in your own accumulated filth.
Prepare yourself, "Lord Commander": Malta comes for the Hellfire Legion.

We find all resistance present to be inconsequential. With the exception of the Cross you all seem to be very content with splitting hairs. Your petty insults and self righteousness seem to be leaving you blind to the fact at hand; the Accords have been signed. You may follow them or not, at your own volition.
You cite your seniority but still you forget, the old can learn from the young.
As for you, Cross, as we recall the last time you breached Legion space you lost an entire Ranseur in under a minute. Keep your warships where they belong and pick a foe of your own caliber.
