Attention! This is Elder Juan Lucendez of the Council of Elders.
A 10k cease-fire around both Corfu Base and Freeport 9 are in effect for Omicron Theta, other than that Omicron Theta is a free-fire zone. Other than Civilian and Zoner ships, all freight coming in or out of Theta may be pirated or taxed as long as it is outside of a 10k radius around Corfu or Freeport 9.
Furthermore, the AW have been branded "Ignore on Sight." You may deal with them as you see fit, but Brotherhood forces are ordered to ignore them until they open fire on your vessel.
These are the new rules as set by the Council of Zoners and the Council of Elders. Let Theta be free once more.
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."

Malaclypse to Lucendez:
Get your facts straight, Elder. A motion was never made, and a vote was never called concerning the Theta matter in the Council of Zoners. Therefore, no "rule" was set regarding your rights there.
Review the proceedings. If you still dispute the facts, take it up with whoever is elected to the Chair.. I've resigned.
Transmission: To All Zoners, Corsairs and the scum Asgard "Warriors"
Today, we came to Omicron Theta in force, fully expecting an AW force to oppose us. Of course, they reacted in kind. However, the calling of all their "allies" into the fray, including two independent and confused Zoner Battlestar Captains as well as a soldier of the Outcasts' 101st squadron, a single mandalorian Red Catamaran bomber and two of their own battleships.
Faced with such a wierd and wonderful array of forces, we lost, obviously.
But we gained what we wanted to. The Outcasts and the AW obviously have some strong connection with each other. All we needed was proof. One of the primary dreadnoughts of the AW is actually an Outcast Dreadnought. I don't want to know how they got their hands on such a pathetic piece of technology, but it proves where their loyalties lie. In addition to this, they called in a 101st fighter, clearly of the defence force of Malta. Seeing as their connections with the Outcasts are fairly strong, this conflict could not be avoided.
Also, as the AW declared war on us, and us only apparently, I find it hard to believe that their first target was the OPG ship Torquemada. The Brotherhood had convinced the OPG to act only as reinforcements if the need arised, yet they were targeted first in this blatant act of aggression.
I would also like to point out that our forces were on strict orders to fire only if fired on. This we did, and we adhered to the new rule imposed by Elder Lucendez to the best of our ability. The AW do not desire peace, otherwise they would not have fired.
So, the campaign begins. We did not start this, but we will definately end this.
Poke all the holes you want, AW. You aren't strong enough to defend your territory with help from all these displicable people whom you refer to as "simply neutral". I find your cowardice in the face of the Corsairs to be sickenening, as all of our brothers will.
But I concede. We will play by your rules in this instance.
[color=#FF0000]All Corsair forces, the Brotherhood requests that you redeploy fully to Omicron Theta, Freeport 9 and Corfu base.
As a note, to the independant Zoner Battlestars that participated in disabling our vessels, you will be given armistice this once. No truely Zoner vessel will be fired on by the Corsairs unless found to be aiding the fake Zoners, the AW. Considering the scale of the losses on our side, you should be thankful, Battlestar Captains.
End Transmission.
//Thanks to Mule and Globalplayer for three of the four screens!
The zoner Battleship SKULL was tricked into this battle.I have met with some TBH ship's i fired upon ,and damaged,and paid for their repair's. This incident was truly unfortunate. No true Zoner will assit either side in this war,unless you block/pirate and free ship's,trader's near freeport. If on station at time of any hostility's, i will fire only if fired upon, or in defence of of any other true Zoner vessle's.
