The Council of Guildmasters has concluded a special session to consider this request.
Much was discussed. Strong words were exchanged.
It was with reference to the oaths and codes that bind our Guild members and the protocols in place to protect the tools of our trade that the Council voted to deny this request.
By this decision, the gunships and Orcas must remain in Guild hands, to be deployed by Hunters and Core pilots alike and no others. All ships outside Guild ownership at present should be returned for decommissioning when next due for servicing. We will no longer be in a position to provide repair or replacement services on any craft not held by Guild members.
As our existing inventory of Bounty Hunter Ships lose reliability, and our spare parts inventory diminishes, I suppose we must find second-rate replacements.
When Mandalorian pilots, who have ever been your allies, are unable to assist you against a Corsair fleet because of old, unreliable equipment, I trust you will remember this decision with regret.
