It was certainly a good day for the Junker Congress. We repelled an attack and sent a bold message as to what would happen to those who threaten Yanagi's sovereignty.
Scans for possible hostiles turned up green, Raven bandit showed itself. Even after bogey ambushed Yanagi Security One, cease-fire and no-fly-zone warnings were given for the sake of maintaining all possible windows of diplomacy open. Target remained belligerent and opened fire.
Be advised that said pilot knows the Barghest and how to fly her. He will reverse thrust to keep you in his sights. After saturating the area with ordinance, he broke free and went on pursuit. Alexandros put on a jinking clinic while we boresighted him.
This was only the beginning. They were looking for this reaction, and now they're gunning for congress blood. Advise all trade vessels to vary commerce routes and to keep scanners running.
Now, on a lighter note, after completing recon maneuvers we got together to take some pictures. Here's one for the barroom wall.
And the medal looks nice. Feels like I'm home again.

Congratulations my brothers. What a wonderfully coordinated attack, and done with all fighters. The cap whoring masses could learn a thing or two from Junkers.
Arbiter,
On another note I have some very proud news to report. Yet another Raven wandered into Yanagi space. I'm really not a violent guy so I actually informed him that his clan had been declared kos and gave him an opportunity to leave (although I don't know why). He did not respond an proceeded to sit on the base. You can see below what his arrogance cost him.
Yanagi will not go down. Being the sneaky little bastard that I am, I've got some more work to do on this matter,but I'll see you guys around soon.
Be advised--some angry and bitter Ravens will be back with a Rheinland and friend. This "Inri" character stole Junker property some years back and killed seven Junkers on his way out. He went to Malta and picked up a bunch of rangy cast offs who just want mayhem.
So its Cutthroat Island time at Sigma again. These clowns think Yanagi is "their base"--and the whole damn system with it. Guess they need an education.
// LOL im lovin the RP brilliant//
ok inrp '' Today a Don of RoS met with me in Omicron Beta and we discussed a ceasefire plan to end Hostilities Between .:J:. and RaVeN, it was agreed that as long junker ships did not openly fire upon RaVeN fighters we would not agress back, it was also agreed that all RaVeN Ships would respect a no Kill zone around yanagi base of 5K and Will Not Tax within 5K of yanagi either, In return for being allowed to dock at yanagi for resupply and repair, RaVeN will assist junkers in combat operations if called upon.
RaVeN will also no longer decree sigma 13 raven space and we recognise YANAGI DEPOT TO BE A JUNKER BASE not a raven one!!!!!!''
Do the Junkers Congress agree with the terms laid out by me and RoS don
Juavala????
no you have jumped the gun, the post i did in that thread states simply we will not fire on you unless you fire first. which i doubt you will do so there will be no further aggression I Hope!!
A more detailed response has been sent to the Dons and will clarify our position.
As for Raven and particulalry its founder Inri, your first mistake was killing Junkers so you could steal from them--at Yanagi no less--and then returning with an "apology" of "Join us or die".
You are persona non grata to us and it is only the decisions of the Dons regarding you that we will respect. We will inform you of the arrangement we make with them and then you and your mongrel crew can decide if you wish to restore your honor as true Outcasts or join the Hessian cause as you mentioned you would earlier.
Be thankful that even with your impure blood and dishonorable behavior that the noble true Outcasts are even willing to speak on your behalf. Truly you are indebted to them.
My thanks again to the direct attention of the Dons in this matter and the restoration of good and profitable relations.

SUBJECT: Capital ship names
Arbiter.
I would just like to run this one by you. With the increasing possibilities of capital shipping being commissioned it may be time to announce an official naming structure for Congress capital ships.
My suggestion would be a simple JCS-mightyshipname, (Junker Congress Ship).
Would this be an acceptable practice?
Salvager out.

"Good news everyone. I suddenly and unexpectedly have job vacancies for an entire spaceship crew!"
Greetings. I am Juan 'Jackal' Carlos, Captain of the Gunboat KI-RIN. Earlier tonight we had a mishap. I am truly sorry, as I had not seen the back and forth that went on earlier while I was hard at work, building secret compartments in my ship. When I did eventually launch, I found my HUD had been reprogrammed. I ignored this as a part of coincidence, as I have NEVER fired upon Junker vessels. They were up till recently our hosts. I am sorry for my ship and crew being dragged into this ordeal, as you learned tonight, I was unaware of the tensions. Or the existance of this no fire sone. I have still received no word of this or these actions from I.N.R.I. though I expect something soon. Even while I was engaging the Bundschuh pilot, you may have noted that I had not a single Junker pilot, and never returned fire on the patrolman just doing their jobs. Please inform the other councilmen that not all of the RaVeN wish the prior status we had upon Yanagi and the other Junker bases to be revoked. However, if this is unavoidable, then our men will comply. It has been a gracious stay, and fruitful for both sides. If this must be the end, then so be it. Thank you, for the hospitality shown, and the level heads I encountered tonight.
I received this communication from "RaVeN" seccom. The reponse of the Outcasts has been entirely positive regarding us in this matter and our respect for the wisdom and leadership of the Dons is expressed again.
We will wait for the formal treaty to be drawn and will then announce specifics of what behaviors are acceptable.
Until then, pilots there will not attack, threaten or ignore Junker requests when they are operating within 2k of the base. No combat will be initiated within 2k radius of the base. Follow those rules until a multiparty agreement is drawn and there will be no more trouble. After the agreement is signed, a more comprehensive set of rules of conduct will be presented.
We have held of on construction and deployment of capital vessels to this point so that diplomacy has time to run its course. We can discuss these matters more specifically when a formal accord is agreed.
