I personally don't see why we should be putting out necks on the line for the Zoners' copious mistakes. They had a good relationship with the Joker, and then they spoilt it like they are opt to do. I don't feel readily inclined to help them out in this situation.
It also probably does not help that I personally find Marvin quite the ass, and I find myself quite pleased that he was able to steer his vessel into disaster. Oh, how immature of me, shame on me. ... But even so, I found the reports of his little disaster amusing enough, as I'd seen it coming for quite a while.
But, even that said, we'll be sure to shoot at this clown if and when he shows his face.
Maybe you don't understand, but when he was out side Toledo not six-seven kilometers away from the planet with his forces saying that he want us to give over a ally. Now if we were willing to "Bend over" and give them Marvin an ally none the less, in front of our own planet then he'd be able to gloat about forcing the almighty order to give him into his demands and if that got out into Sirius well...... then others will start to think us weak and a easy target.
The Zoner are our allies and for the time being so is Marvin and his Juggernaut would house thousands of people giving them over to the Joker and his lackeys would be handing over thousands of our allies to die at their hands.
Of course we wouldn't hand an ally over if they're under our protection..
But... the Pendulum was destroyed even without our help, or even without our stalwart protection.
What I'm saying is that fools will meet the consequences of their actions one way or another, and there's precious little point in putting ourselves in front of the proverbial Advanced Train in an attempt to stop this.

As I said previously...
Quote:We don't want to waste ressources against this moron and his minions but we will never allow anyone to threat the Order or our allies.
The Joker and his comrades attacked some Order pilots in Omicron Minor. This is far enought to be considered as hostile by the Order HC. And, like I said, we will not hunt this "Joker" in Sirius. This is not our business. But... You already know that the Zoners help us greatly by providing resupplies and funds to our organisation.
What kind of allies we could be if we let some terrorists kill Zoners without any reaction from our side ? If this Joker stay in the Omicrons and play at robbing Zoners traders which going to Omicron Minor, it concern the Order directly. I don't need to say if our resupplies lines are cut, we are deads. No food, no fuel, no ammo. Protecting the Zoners in the Omicrons is vital for us.
Considering this, The Joker is an hostile in the Omicrons for the Order. No need to continue to argue with that, I think it's common sense. If the Joker want to terrorise another part of Sirius, he is free to do so, but in the Omicrons, he will have to face us.
The Zoner known as Pendulum is probably full of problems for the Order, it's still a member of the Zoner federation and he must be protected against any hostiles, especially if he request our protection in Minor.
Sergeant Lovejoy, you are free to leave us. We are not a prison, you can leave when you want. Just be sure your mind is really clear about this. Because once you will be gone, you will have to left everything related to the Order behind you. And I doubt you will be welcomed again in our space.
I hope this clarification is enough for anybody, primary or secondary fleet.
This joker character did not come to Minor to attack us. The Pendulum came to minor running from the joker. He docked when the joker showed up. I myself tried to convince the joker to leave. His thugs opened fire. After we lost one gunboat and a carrier, and several enemy were destroyed the Pendulum undocked. he eventually suffered serious damage.
Sir I will defend, help, aid any Zoner in need; but this Pendulum brought a war to our doorsteps. Also many zoners are upset with what he has done.
Just a concern sir, we fight many an enemy, our people work hard in this war against the nomads. Our people do not need more trouble.
I just need to say my peace sir.

"I've told Admiral Kelt personally about this, and I see fit to tell the rest of the Order who want to shift blame. I was headed out with Admiral Marvin, who leads the Pendulum, to recon the Wilde systems in Omega, and such was cut short as the Zoner satellites reported a grouping hostile targets, the Joker and his crew. Admiral Marvin was concerned what to do, not wishing to lose his crew and ship out in Kappa, and running to Freeport 11 was death to him and the station.
"So I recommended he follow me to Minor, in hopes the Joker and his crew of misfits wouldn't dare breach the system, a choice I humbly apologize for if it seems wrong to the ranking officers, or if I overstepped my place as a recon pilot. I did warn all Order pilots that there was a possibly imminent attack upon a Zoner Jinkusu, and the response was enough to keep the force a modest distance from the Isis and Toledo. All in all, for the record, I'm merely stating this.
"Any blame you wish to place on Admiral Marvin, or Admiral Kelt for his decision to place a shoot on sight order against the Joker, should be placed on me. I can accept any grief or consequence for the events that were dealt. Now lets get our arguments over with and get back to work against the Nomads and Wild. Jester, over and out."

My honest reaction upon reading the forums, whenever I rarely do. Joe Kucan, he's the man.

To all whom it may concern,
Perhaps it would be prudent to enter into talks with The Joker?
We have enough enemies as it is, and we should at least offer him the chance to explain himself and to ensure our neutrality and perhaps ease his tensions with the Zoners?
Either way, I am not too firm in my position. As it stands now, I have heard of no repeat of these actions by him.
However, he has been recorded. Order ships should be extremely cautious and he should be terminated if he initiates hostilities with us.

Till the Joker isn't sending any official excuses or money for the damages he caused, he will stay KoS in the Omicrons for the Order.
