[color=#FFFFFF]Subject: ORI From: Colonel Luther Vaski of the Coalition To: The [TAZ], Zoners, and Omicroners
Greetings Comrades,
I recieved word earlier that one of my Majors was deliberately attacked by Freeport 5. 2 ORI Fearless class Destroyers opened fire near the lone bomber right outside the vicinity of the Freeport. The ORI ships continued to fire and some of their salvos hit the Station, the Station responded by defending themselves against the onslaught. I do apologize, but the Major was merely defending himself against all odds. He managed to escape by pod when his craft was destroyed. This is some troubling news indeed, and if compensation is requested then it will be done.
I received a report of this incident. ORI vessels are well known that they cause problems wherever they appear. They present themselves as Zoners and use our technology, but their behavior is against Zoners code. Therefore, we don't consider them as our fellows and they aren't welcome on our station. Best to avoid contact with them, unless you have a force able to defeat them.
We're sorry that your vessel was destroyed. Next time please remember that according to our policy, Freeports offers a protection in space for Zoners only. Other vessels in danger should either to dock to the station or to leave the area. So, in the future, in case of troubles around our station, I invite to our bar. The coffee is free of charge.
Freeport 5 is a solid piece of asteroid and an accidental fire can't hurt it. The incident didn't cause any harm and a compensation isn't necessary.
