It was a good day for the Corsairs and their allies. Rheinland Military forces were unable to prevent a prison break in Spandau P.I. today. My trading ship detected Unioner jail breakers who escaped and temporarily took control of the prison control room, after which I alone headed for the New Berlin system on a near-suicide mission to rescue the fugitives. It was a success! RM was totally ashamed when I managed to destroy the bomber transmitting the transport jamming signature, then I barely escaped after beaming them in, dodging the endless waves of cruise disruptors launched by a fleet of 2 enemy fighters and 2 bombers including a non-RM affiliate, 2 RM gunboats, a Rheinland cruiser, and even a Bounty Hunter in his mighty Rheinland Battleship. The Unioners were delivered safely to Cadiz base, and they have been granted heavy escort back to their secret hideout. I hope things like this keep encouraging us to increase our efforts in our great struggle to survive and vanquish our enemies.

Captain!
I am glad to hear about your successful escapade!
Everytime we have the opportunity to smash either Rheinland or Bretonia forces, it's a great day for us. Keep up the great work and don't forget to contact us any time when any kind of our assistence would be handy.
Pedro Maniaco out.

Brothers!
First of all, I'd like to welcome our new brothers Alvaro de Castilla, Scarliot and Niko Odosta. I already met some of them in space and I am sure they'll be loyal to the Brotherhood and help us follow our goals. Three times 'Hurray!' for each of them.
Now regarding our training business. We were practicing some battle scenarios with Elders Costello and Yanez and brothers Hugo and Ibanez as well as with some other brothers Corsairs behind Crete (where there is not that much traffic) and I must say it's not that bad as I was afraid of. We practised these scenarios:
* 1 Gunboat vs. 1 Titan and 1 Bomber
* 1 Osiris vs. 3 fighters
And I was quite surprised how these fights were close.
I'd like all of you, whenever there is relative peace in Gamma, to fly behind Planet Crete and continue with this training and I also to ask for any ideas for other scenarious (except 2 fighters against each other, obviously) that should be trained.
I remind you, that all TBH members have the right to use these shared vessels:
* Cazadora[TBH] - Huntress cruiser
* Canonera[TBH] - Corsair Gunboat
* Bombardero[TBH] - Taiidan Bomber
All these ships should have optimized weapon loadout and they are free to use in any situation.
Send me a private message if you still don't have the access codes or you don't know how to use them.
Just for your information, all Elders have access to these ships:
* Altaneria[TBH] - Osiris Battleship - flagship of the Brotherhood
* Velasco[TBH] - Osiris Battleship - secondary battleship
* Banco[TBH] - Bank of the Brotherhood
* Arca[TBH] - Supplemental storage vessel

I was informed today by a member of The Order that he saw a Corsair flying in a Nomad ship! Fortunately this was not one of the Brotherhood, just a regular Corsair pilot. Unfortunately the Order pilot was unable to identify who it was.
This taint should not be allowed anywhere near Corsair space. The last thing we need is for the Nomads to infiltrate the Corsairs. I would recommend that the Brotherhood do everything in its power to eliminate this threat, and the unfortunate infected Corsair within.

This is indeed disturbing news. One of our brothers, infected by the nomad scourge.
Standing suggestion from me regarding this, is that he is to be killed. It is sad, but we cannot take any chances with this, despite the fact that he was once our brother.
He is a Corsair no more. Do not hesitate.

Regarding a different matter: (To be relayed to the OPG and the Benitez's.)
If you have any quarrel with each other, or the Coalition, the Elders would appreciate it if you contacted us before takeing actions directly of your own accord. I have been convinced, through conversation on our database, that this is the correct course of action to take.
If you have any complaints, forward them to one of the Elders. We will deal with them. I accepted it before, but now is time to assert Corsair authority over the Coalition. They must be put in their place if we are to coexist.
Great day for the Corsairs !! We have successfully accomplished the Alpha raid today. The efforts of the Outcasts were in wain and some Epigoni targets have been eliminated in the action. They could not prevent the fast assault being made on planet Malta. Not only there were no survivors but we also managed to break through the Ibıza base which has sustained extreme damage while losing several fighter and destroyer wings in their order. They will be spending a long time for repairs there.
On our way back to Crete, we encountered some unfriendly targets in Omicron Theta and some of them attempted to infiltrate Gamma space, however they were destroyed just in time.
Just another day of listening to Coalition people attempting to divide the corsair people. Normally I would respond to threats like this by feeding their genitals to them through their mouths. I respect my brothers wish to resolve this amicably. How much longer must I tolerate their taunts and insults. They seem to show no respect to anyone including on a lot of occasions their own members.

Hola Hermanos. Sorry for my comm silence, but since that scene in the bar I'm content with not stepping on other's diplomatic toes and getting the nature of all our alliances down before opening my trap. That being said, I apologize for any tension I might have added to or caused, and to Ares. He deserves my respect and admiration.
As for where I'm transmitting from, its a dust cloud. Just observing some Reinland military posturing from a safe distance. These guys are crazy, thinking laws can protect them from me or my brothers, I'll be having tea and crumpets with them in my cargo hold in no time, hehe hahehahe...
Regarding the little blue ball, I sorta think he's cute. I've encountered him several times and chased him across space, I think it was a game of tag... At anyrate, if I encounter him anywhere near gamma I'm shooting. but if I see him outside of gamma I'll probably just chase him somemore. I've encountered Nomads before but I didn't know they were all that dangerous, I mean they're KoS for almost everyone, but they're confined to a couple of systems and rarely go beyond that. Plus, you would think if the Nomads were going to infiltrate the Brotherhood or any Corsair faction they could do it a little more subtly (OOC: didn't play the single player mode so I don't know about the Nomad wars.). Just my two cents, later Hermanos!
"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."

Message to: Elders of the Brotherhood.
I have recieved a disturbing communique from our brother, Ares, about the OPG and their actions in Omicron Gamma yesterday.
It details the past actions of the OPG pilot Gentle, in the bar, which I am sure you are familliar with. I am, as I was there. However, it leads on to more accusations about the OPG, and I quote:
Quote:They say that yourself, Maniaco and Costello have not earned their respect, in spite of Costello's aiding them in the past, and in spite of your status as Elders. Last time I checked, that title was worthy of honour.
This is quite unacceptable in my eyes if this is true. In fact, I have no doubt that it is true as Ares is almost like a blood brother to me.
I will paraphrase the next part. According to Adrian, the OPG also consider the only medal the Brotherhood gives out as a "mere trincket". And to compound this, he informed me that the OPG refused to apologise to the Brotherhood as well as the OPG as they do not feel us worthy of their respect.
However, the most disturbing part of the communique was the stated fact that the OPG use Outcast guns and equipment. This is completely unacceptable and you all know this. To compound this, those in orbit had to scare away an Outcast Dreadnought from Gamma after the OPG allowed it in, saying that the pilot of the ship was a mercenary.
Fellow Corsairs using Outcast technology and allowing symbols of the Outcasts into orbit around Crete cannot be acceptable to you.
Any action we take against either side must be first approved by all the Elders of the Brotherhood, but I am sure things have progressed too far. We need to stop this madness before it spills over into a civil war. Ares is extremely angry and only holding back his fury at my request, and not that of his superiors.
We need to deal with this now! But how we do this I have apsolutely no clue. It is obvious words do not stop the pride of these people. They even refuse to acnowledge us worthy of our positions of Eldership. This has gone way to far.
I have also recieved information that Elder Costello was in orbit in the Velasco during the exchange. I implore you, put aside your feelings of the SCRA and look at what the OPG has said about us. Please, make a favourable decision. Do we favour those that are part of the Coalition, or do we favour those who disrespect us continuously, use and allow symbols of the death of many of our brothers into our home?

I was there along with Costello, too, and I can also confirm most of that conversation between OPG and SCRA, but not all since I shut down my comm systems halfway because I couldn't hear that no longer...
I wonder why they didn't mention Elders Alexander, Farquar and me...
Juan, your last question is quite one-sided, for a good reason. I will support any action of you and all Elders here.
