OOC: To the people who are downloading this *PASSWORDED* document and are not in SF, don't bother. Using very well programmed brute-force + dictionary attacks on the password, with a heavily overclocked quad core processor (with the program optimized to use quad core) and large amounts of available fast memory, cracking the password would take around 50-60 years. So unless you have a supercomputer at your disposal, no luck ;-(
Today a routine pirate complaint in Omega-41 turned into a huge ordeal as the pirates moved into Omicron Theta. At first, it was 3 RA members. Two bombers, one fighter. Two {AW} members, the Antigen, and two sso| members. The 3 RA members were quickly taken out. One by the antigen (ooc: I *think*). After that, 2 [TBH] came. One cruiser and one fighter. The Antigen took out the cruiser, and the fighter was taken out by sso|The.Yamato.
Overall, it was an excellent victory against the pirates. sso| suffered one loss. {AW} two. But both TBH and RA lost all their members, 5 in total.

Good day, SA, I offer my greetings, and bring an invitation to all of you:
Recently, the Sirius Federation has enlisted a large number of new recruits. Due to requests from these recruits, the SF is organizing 'war games' in order to help train them. However, it is our belief that other strategies and tactics, along with different styles of Liberty may help to benefit both the new recruits along with the rest of the SF. I hope that we can help you in the same way. Thusly, the SF invites you to join with this highly beneficial training.

Greetings,
It has been a long time since SF and SA have opened a dialogue of any importance. On your invitation, I find truly heartening and acceptable, however, we can iron out the details in the near future.
In addition, we need to address exactly what are relationship amounts to. Months ago our relationship fell to a low and, at present, our diplomacy stands at Neutral in relation to SF due to your stance in an unfortunate incident.

It is a pleasure to work with the SF. As long as we get payed we will be happy. Hopefully we will get our full payment soon. Keep in contact. Also here is my kill of a person named [Scythe]Raven.
I apologize for the extended absence, I was doing some research on weapons theory at CRI for the last week or two, looking to find a better load-out for my ship. I have returned however and shall be up to the task of defending Bretonia. (OOC: Classes picked up at college, but finals are soon, so I should have more free time)
Today, I did a few missions, destroying some Mollys, and ran a few trade runs between Cambridge and Leeds. Vitrotan and I proceeded to go to Cambridge and kicked a member of TBH out, with him leaving after one warning. I guess two templars scared him out of there.
It's good to be back.
Kinda out.
SF Ships:
SFF-Grenthal Templar VHF
SFF-Torquay Hussar LF
SFT-Gambler Large Train
Good news first; SFT-Grenthal has been upgraded from a freighter to a Large Train, and I am now making amazing profits, and will be using those profits to fund the purchase of a larger ship to prevent more of the bad news.
I will be taking suggestions as to what ship I should be getting
Queen_Anne's_Revenge was pirating, and managed to force me to make a crash-landing at CRI, but the cavalry arrived just in time to drive him away. That cavalry was the SSO. Thank you to the SSO for their help, next time I hope I'll be more of a help.
Kinda out.

Admiral, it seems to have become more common for the AW to show friendly characteristics towards the SF. I believe that successful negotiations can be opened up to upgrade the status of the AW to the SF, and vice versa to neutral. I believe that this would be a good time to initiate these negotiations.
Also, I would like to remind the SF that our forces are still to remain outside Omicron Theta. This may help said negotiations with AW.

Fleet Admiral RedBear, allow me to first offer my salutations.
With regards to the current status of SF/SA relations, we currently hold you as friendly. However, if we are held as neutral, I hope that we can help secure better relations in the future. The said wargames are meant to help help strengthen these relations, and reduce tensions. As for official diplomatic stances, please contact Admiral Firebird. This will be the most effective way of officially deciding relations. However, I can say that there will most likely be certain limitations due to SF policy, and this may hold us from an official alliance.
With regard,
Commodore Hyperwave

Maintain current standing with AW. They have shown acceptance of our aid in the past and in response choose to aid in organizing a Helghast raid against us. I see no reason to change our attitude towards them giving they're simply taking advantage of our good nature in assisting traders. With that said, continue to assist traders in Theta when required, but try not to linger too long in AW space.

Current standing between SF and SA is still friendly. An alliance is possible but given the situation with HF, AW's extremely close ties to them, and our desire to have absolutely no involvement with AW whatsoever, you'll forgive if we desire to remain at friendly status.
If SA require assistance against common enemies feel free to contact our members, but keep in mind our primary concern is the defense of Bretonia.
On another matter, currently several SF members have procured Liberty capital ships from various sources within the Liberty government and there are rumors circling of the government wishing to issue legislation to limit the selling and use of these vessels (OOC: not really but works for the story). Recent vessels are primarily mothballed ships that were purchased and brought back into service by the SF, while others are carry-overs from when the SF was charged with patrolling Liberty space. With permission of the SA (OOC: as the Liberty House faction), I ask that these ships remain with their current operators given that Liberty was compensated handsomely for them. However, to ensure that the forces of Liberty are not deminished by the continued purchase of Liberty capital ships, any future purchases will require SA approval. Please, inform me if these arrangements are satisfactory?
OOC: Put simply, I'd like to have it such that those who currently have Liberty ships can keep them. Those that don't and want one have to ask. Its a similar position that RM has with the SF and has worked well to keep the number of RH ships in the SF low (apart from the bomber which I've already discussed before). As I said in the post, most older members have Liberty ships as carry-overs from when the SF patrolled Liberty.

The previous $6 million was already paid about a week ago to an SSO vessel (Ant transferred it from with an individual payment for the player from SFT-Ashby about a week ago). Double-check within your ranks to determine what happened to the funds.
Also by my math, isn't 4 unassisted kills ($5 million each) = $20 million:unsure:. Correct me if I'm wrong?
As me and -SFF-Thames were outside of cambridge a Large train had been coming in and out of bretonian space. Upon further investigation we scanned and found light arms in his holds. -SFF-Thames and me confiscated these items and returned them to Cambridge so the lickely hood of thier origins could be determined. However while obtaining the light arms he said that he was attacked by a SF member I believe He said the pilots name was flyby and he attacked him because he was carrying ice. Me and Thames spoke about this and decided it had to have been over a different matter than cargo. I believe the smugglers name was Sergio.Pacielli. Be on the look out for this guy.
