Congratulations Pilot, on finally realizing an impolitic objective of the original Marauder initiative.

The Junker Marauders
a 'Junker Civil War' conjured by disavowing Marauders.
This endgame play has been conspicuous for some time, made discernable by the opening act of fervently separating the Marauders from the 'standard Junkers' [obtaining a unique ID]. Add to that the fact that subsequent moves made by Marauders have rarely been in the interest of any Junker party besides themselves, and there can be identified easily a clear pattern of isolationist policies. This concept has been vocalized by numerous Pilots with the Marauder organization, and accusing Civil War to be a result (or intention) of any party otherwise, would be the most brazen deception attempted yet.
In regards to a state of warfare: -- Open aggression by Marauder vessels on Junker Pilots has not only been recurring, but is a responded-to complaint made by Junkers that is addressed by Marauders as "us doing our own business." Marauder diplomacy has been self-described as "loyal only to those of shared intentions, even when regarding Junkers." and has been used henceforth to justify attacks by Marauders on Junker Pilots.
This inter-Junker violence has previously executed inconspicuously, but now is apparently set to continue publicly. Marauder Pilots do not represent, nor stand for, Junker Pilots. Something they have historically been clear about, and adhere to to this day. This speaks volumes to the validity of concerns expressed by Junkers regarding Marauder activity, especially the construction of a station overlooking Beaumont Base. This 'Declaration of War' stems from the calculated progression of Marauder aggression.
Calculated actions -- much like the decision to construct a station within 3 kilometers of Beaumont Base [encompassing it within Marauder defense turrets and control] instead of taking the advice of Congressmen to construct 20 kilometers out [which would lie closer to the scrap fields, the Spire's asserted purpose] -- are what has led to the recent degradation of civility. Do not cry out as if ye have lost something here, besides the appearance of sagacious rationale.
But with all that's been (not) negotiated, I am still greatly amused by the idea of Marauders attempting to navigate even 1/10th of the delicate diplomatic balance that is required of bona fide Junkers.
Especially considering now that the blatant aggression of Marauder Pilots --intermittently interrupted by their negotiations and sales of information to lawful authorities -- has not only turned ye from other Junkers, but their numerous business partners and allies, which has manifested recently in episodes of conflict and loathing previously reserved only for Xenos.
Bearing in mind the cowboy-esque style of diplomacy the Marauders have brought to the 'Junker' name, it brings me the utmost pleasure to relax comfortably while watching hornets swarm, and grow when incited, wherever their Pilots take nest. Enjoy that six-foot-deep hole ye have dug yerself...

As making an absurd threat makes ye sound like an Naval commander, rather than a proper Junker.
*sardonic smile*
But I'm sure after ye finish pleading to secure your own station, and then kowtow to the one standing between ye and Puerto Rico, oddsmakers might consider taking bets on that imprudent declaration of yours.
