Lay of the cardi Orphelia. As for these under the table dealings? Care to prove your claims? Or are we all to render them the ravings of a mad man?
Joker's bombs blew but he was denied his objective. OSI, TAZ, ZTC, CoZ, and a large number of independent Zoner along with numerous friends helped save the majority of the personal aboard both stations. My brother lays in a coma aboard Med.Force.One due to those attacks, yet I stay my hand and don't actively hunt him. Wanna take a guess at why?
I do so because if I attack him, he will in turn attack OSI vessels. Or TAZ or ZTC vessels. My vengence isn't worth the life of another person. I don't think you've learned that yet.
Mr Katz, I thank you for your efforts to help our people. Unlike others I feel that any civilian aboard that station was well aware of the risk they took by working for and living aboard a station that harbors people like the Joker and also harbors a merc company. Its the same as Orphelia's crew, if they didn't agree with his views they would abandon him first chance they got. The fact his vessel remains combat capable is proof he does indeed have thier loyalty. Same applies to those aboard that station.
Orphelia I'd also like to remind you that the Zoner way is as varied as the Zoner people is. No one person's view of the Zoner way is right or wrong. There is nothing defining what exactly our people are. We value freedom. Each is free to choose his or her own path. Claiming someone isn't a Zoner because they disagree with you is something I would expect of a child; not something I'd expect from the captain of a Jinksu. I made the same mistake in my past and learned from it, you to should learn from your mistake.

TARGET ID: Trident of Eris
Hola senor Triton. I would ask you whether you are either an ordnance, engineering or demolition expert? Given your... Pacifistic leanings I'd be inclined to doubt you are. The Revolution requires experts in these fields however, and it was with these experts we consulted with when planning the strike. We are primarily a professional Revolutionary vanguard, and when we set out to complete an objective it is completed with ruthless efficiency.
If we had set out to destroy the station, or effect maximum civilian casualties, we would have done an exceedingly poor job considering the results we obtained. The people's milita does not obtain poor results. If you can call the denizens of Barrier Gate civilians, that is. Intelligence indicates a majority of the estimated four thousand population are Outcasts, followed by the Liberty Rogues, Lane Hackers, Junkers, unaffiliated smugglers, unaffiliated pirates, unaffiliated bounty hunters and mercenaries. This is in combination with a large alleged sex trade, that seals the station's fate as a den of degrading and amoral corruption.
Now, I call your attention to the images of the strike itself. The first strike cracked the asteroid lining of the hanger we have been informed serviced the Mandalorian Mercenaries. This would have put that particular hanger out of service through structural decompression, but had no structural effect on the rest of the station. There are three hangers in total, all attached by external passageway links to the station's main body, to prevent structural damage to the station's core body in the case of just such an attack. The station's owners may well be degenerates, but they are not idiots, comprende?
In the second image, you will notice my weapon striking the hanger door of the bay believed to house the Joker and his thugs. This would again have decompressed the hangers and will deny it's use until it is repaired. The remaining hanger (which is not connected to the two affected hangers in any way save they are all attached to the station's main nexus) was undamaged.
In both images, I would call your attention to the habitation modules that are clearly visible. If the Revolutionary Army were targeting civilians, I would have targeted those modules instead of the tactical asset of our enemies. This makes sense, si? To further my point, the entire 'civilian' population is contained within those modules. The hangers were were served critical damage and depressurised, or at least partially depressurised, but the bulkhead systems present on all of Sirius' stations would have locked this down to the hangers themselves.
It is the belief of our tacticians that any casualties would have been localised to those inside the hangers at the time, which would have been the support staff and probably pilots of the two targeted factions and unfortunately, a small contingent of civilian maintenance workers. Any innocents died in the name of the Revolution, as they were brutally used as moral hostages by the occupying tyrannous forces. They shall be mourned as such.
As for senor Nighten who ignorantly talks about about Barrier Gate's supply issues... Well. One of the three hangers are still fully operational. Base command will now face the choice of occupying those hangers with illegal drugs and weapon runners to line their own pockets, or supply ships to sustain the people living there. Now we shall see the manner of the men that pull the strings, eh? Any deaths through suffocation, dehydration or starvation will have been brought about solely by the greed of the ruling hierarchy.
I am no diplomat, so I have not given you a diplomatic reply. I am a soldier, and a warrior of the people. I have given you a reply to give you the eye of a professional soldier when it comes to damage to structural assets.
For the Revolution!
