From: Captain Elizabeth Hall, BAF
Good day to you, good people of Planet Sydney. This is an official broadcast to inform you of certain changes that have taken place or will take place on your planet. I am Captain Elizabeth Hall of Her Majesty's Armed Forces, and I have been appointed by the Admiralty as the executive officer of the Stirling Fleet, acting on behalf of Admiral John Redmond, who has taken personal command of the Essex Fleet, and will thus be unable to perform his prior duties here indefinitely. This makes me the provisional governor of Planet Sydney, until a proper government is formed.
I myself have spent a decade living on Sydney, as I was, like many of you, born on Leeds, and my family moved here as refugees during the war with Kusari. Like many of you, I also witnessed the Corsair orbital bombardment of Sydney in 820. Further, I am the member of parliament for Port Jackson, currently the only settlement on Sydney to have parliamentary representation. And like my father before me, known as Admiral George Hall, a hero of the Battle of New London whose courageous death earned him the posthumous Golden Sable Of Freedom, I, too, am now required by Her Majesty to keep the South safe -- to death as well, if necessary. With these tools that Her Majesty, fortune and misfortune have bestowed me, I promise you that I will do my duty with dedication, fairness and honesty. Service to the Kingdom, and to you, that is my duty.
There are several issues that will have to be addressed. I promise that, after the system has been pacified, I will do all in my might to enable the fair and democratic formation of the planetary government; I will use my office as member of parliament to plead for full parliamentary representation for Sydney; I will enforce minority rights for all Cretans that found themselves on Sydney when the planet was annexed and decided to peacefully stay under Bretonian governance; I will bring up the refugee housing crisis before the government and request a larger budget; and I will strive to find a hungry market for Sydney's deuterium industry, which will provide many jobs for the thousands of immigrants currently without employment. But most of all I promise you, especially you who have escaped Leeds, that as long as I am in command of the Stirling, the Corsair Armada will never be allowed to bombard Sydney again, let alone inflict it the same disastrous fate that has befallen our homeland on Leeds.
And lastly, to the few remaining Corsair resistance cells still hiding in the mountains and the forests, I remind you that the climate is becoming colder every day, and that the mountains and the forests that you are hiding in will be conquered, if not by us, then by frost and glaciers. We hold the cities and will not cede them, and in time they will be the only source heat and food. Turn yourself in now, and you will be treated fairly and according to the international regulations as prisoners of war.
Citizens of Planet Sydney, thank you for your time. This is all. Have a nice day, and expect this utter embarrassment of a tea rationing act to be abolished before Winter. I very well shall make a scene in the Parliament if it is not.

Invader Elizabeth Hall,
how dare you spread such a crap?
You invade a peaceful planet and kill thousands of unarmed and peaceful civilians in their so-called "peaceful liberation Action"!
Thousands more have been forced to flee by your marching soldiers and have thereby lost all their possessions.
Of those who died while fleeing are not to talk.
When they talk about freedom and democracy, they first withdraw the occupation forces, so that we residents of Grand Canaria no longer have to live in a totalitarian surveillance state.
And forget this ***** by renaming!
This is Grand Canaria in Omega 49 and not some crap a dweller could think of!
I really have no idea where they got these alternative facts with the bombing, but the corsairs have lived peacefully with us here the last few decades together. I have got used to the corsairs who have lived here peacefully for over 20 years and never got anything to owe to and these were shot by your soldiers without a process in the street!
These are facts!
They want more? No problem!
The invasion of your troops did not just destroy my house where my grandparents lived.
They just flattened it with a goddamn tank without checking if there are still humans in it.
And that was the case! My wife and my 9 year old daughter were killed!
I do not care about their promises as long as their invasion troops are not standing in front of a decent court with those who have given the orders, that is independent of their beloved crown.
And the commanders also include their so beloved queen!
If you want to make a difference here, you do that.
NOW!
You do not have much time until this powder keg explodes and we show other planets like New London how such an invasion is.
Apparently the stories of refugees from the terretories lost to Gallia were not enough!
I am absolutely against violence and the pointless killing of people, so I swear to them, do not make a mistake now!
There are some people whose revenge I can hold back, but I do not know for how long.
Hoping for a peaceful future

"transmission is sent. by an old Zoner channel on Gran Canaria, from an uknown location on the planet*
*One voice can be heard*
You dirty pig! We treated you as friends! We welcome your people that was running away from war … and you betrayed us, murdering thousands of ours and expelling those you couldn’t murder, and all this with the complacency of the so call official Zoner factions! Guess what tea bag … many of us are still here, kicking your bretonians a”stactic”
*an video of a down bretonian pilot appears on the screen*
See bretonian? Look closer!! Look at this son of the imperial fascist bretonia! Are you looking well? * one shotgun is pointed to his head* Say goodbye to your mummy boy!! * the pilot terrified screams and pne shoot is fired and his head blows off! The image continues showing the dead body*
Now you bretonian wh”static” … the only thing sad, about what the gallic did to New London and Leeds, has it caused too few casualties .. it should be much more … it should be all of you! You are parasites … the flees of Sirius! And one by one … no matter how long it takes … we will kill you ... one by one if necessary! Your turn will come! Sleep well!
To: Bretonian Scum From: Gente de Gran Canaria Subject: Go Away
Are you really making hope that this crime of yours will escape punishment? Your Annexiation of Peacful Gran Canaria, Annexiation of Aland Shipyard, Your "Empress" Let your Citizens Die in Leeds. And this is NOT EVEN THE ONE of the guiltiness, that you did. Your "empress" makes me laugh when you telling people that you are the Prey of the Gallic machine. You are the SAME Monarchy Machine, which Must to be stopped. Nosotros, Gente de Gran Canaria Want kindly to leave once forever. If not, we will kill each of your citizen, murder your families and destroy the "Warship" (Which is a piece of Scrap, that about to ruin into the Port Jackson) that you placed on the orbit.

Sadly, I know of your family. Yours was one of many that my staff treated at Port Jackson. I would think that you would have more common decency than to take rulership over many of the very people who helped not just you but many like you. It is sad what happened to Leeds but what is worse is what happened to us, the Zoner population, who not only lived here peacefully, peacefully among Bretonians, Corsairs and others who called this planet home, but were pushed aside by those who helped them.
I am one of many who made it home. It was Med Force Enterprises that built Canaria Medical which continues to staff it. It was my staff that delivered many of the Cretan children from Cretan parents who chose to leave a desert planet to find a new way of life, one of peace and one of prosperity on a farm. It was also those people that were targeted by the Bretonian Crown for termination..........found guilty for no other reason than being Cretan and you seriously expect them to accept your rule?
It is just as I figured, just as I expected. Bretonia drives off the Gauls and waves Gran Canaria around like a trophy. Now that my legal matter is cleared up with the Crown, I challenge you. Return it to the people who made it home and if you cannot, make us equal partners in your government. No Bretonian majority but equal partners. I would even challenge you to step aside for a governor who is Zoner. I bet you cannot.
I personally have dealt with too many empty promises from Bretonia. The annexation of Omega 3 and Bretonian claims of Freeport 1 years ago and previous Bretonian inquisitions into Omega 49. House governments, in my opinion, cannot be trusted. Your former foes, Gallia, split Tau 29 with Kusari and themselves, dictating to Freeport 6 in the process. If you want peace with those on Gran Canaria, you have much to prove and have more to give towards it than any native does. Our memories are long and deep. The Zoner people did much with the Port Jackson Accords and providing food and medicine to the Bretonians here. I think payback on the investment is long overdue.

It's Gran Canaria, not Sydney
This little speech of yours... *dark gaze*
...finally reached my ears, senorita Hall.
No one will put fear in my hermanos and hermanas hearts at Gran Canaria and stay alive. Making Corsairs scared is my job and I don't like el competition.
I had el respect for your father. I was keeping my best prison cell for him, but I was not fortunate to put his ass there. He was also unfortunate by being vaporised by Valor's front gun. Why did I respect him? He knew his place and his limits. After him I even named my cow Georgina. Poor animal stopped giving milk after he passed away, so I had to... never mind. *a small tiny tear dropped from his eye. Tears dripping from his eyes while was eating steaks all summer were even smaller*
Having good genes and using them only for personal achievements is why I can't respect you. You are opportunistic rank climber, senorita. The higher you get, the lower you will be. You think sky is your limit. That's where Mighty Armada will blow you up. You and your shiny fleet orbiting over MY chili sausage factories! *gets red in face* Did I ever take something from you? No!
Now I will. Consider yourself warned. Santa Muerte will be my witness, in her evil but righteous nature.
*Ladron tried to reach off button, but seems like poor button escaped to closest frightened buttons shelter on time. So, he had to turn and bend to unplug the comm device, showing his huge ass to Miss Hall. From this day she will undoubtedly know he likes pink underwear with big green spots*

If the replies to this transmission were any indicator, trying to reason with these people is a complete waste of your time. No matter what you do, what you promise, and what you deem as “fair”, these constituents that you seem so proud to now be governing over would rather see your burnt corpse dragged through the streets of Port Jackson than even start to attempt any sort of meaningful compromise.
In the six months that we spent conducting counterinsurgency operations on Gran Canaria, we found that anything vaguely “Bretonian” was considered a valid target by Zoner fighters and their Corsair advisors. Case in point, Las Palmas: by the time we arrived on station that morning to help stave off the invasion force, several hundred resettled Bretonian civilians were forced from their homes and publicly executed to thunderous applause from local residents. It was only after a month and a half of close-in, door-to-door fighting that we were finally able to wrench control of the city back into our hands, with eighty-percent of the settlement being destroyed and countless civilian casualties as a result. Las Palmas is still being rebuilt to this day, a monument to the savagery of the insurgency. They were better-equipped and better-organized than they had any right to be, and though their training was lackluster compared to ours, they still presented a serious obstacle to maintaining the Crown’s peace and stability on the planet.
Maybe in a few years time, you’ll win over the half-believer, but the full-believer will fight you with every ounce of their being, every step of the way, and they won’t stop until you kill them. We would know—we learned the hard way.
Best of luck,

Ah, how nice.
I must first applaud Frau Hall for her grand dressing sense. Loaded with gold that surely doubled her weight, produced from the merciless exploitation of the working class under Graves. She makes a wise choice in red lipstick, Bretonia is paved atop rivers of blood, held together by cement in the form of broken bone and roughly fastened together by pride acting as crude scaffolding. Prim and proper mannerisms act as a mask for fascist rhetoric revolving around self-indulgence.
I must also point out that Frau Hall has repeatedly mislabeled Gran Canaria as Planet Sydney. While the Premier and his lackeys in the Ministry of "Truth" see fit to suckle up to Bretonia's bosom for the time-being, I expect all other independently-minded individuals will join me in ridiculing the sheer amount of hypocrisy displayed in just the simple choice of attire Frau Hall has elected to wear. I also encourage you all to explore other avenues evidencing Bretonia's duplicity and reminding my Government about the most crucial aspects of its traditions.
Thus ever unto tyrants.

"Knowing Humanity - We will be duty, bloody and unavoidable."
As was Predicted.
It was obvious from the start that Gran Canaria was never to be free of the Bretonian Yoke once the war was over.
Your intentions are the very things we as Zoner's left house space for in the first place.
Before i fired my weapons, i tried to get you to the table of Diplomacy, so again i shall try that first.
Like the Esteemed Doc Holiday has suggested. Show your bravery and allow a Zoner Governor
Or give no less then Equal power to allow them to rule and govern themselves.
You have taken their home, our home, forcefully, and this is still raw, it still burns within even the most passive of us.
Do not think we will forgive so easily.
So tread lightly.
