Corsarios.. once the greatest pirate organization in Sirius. We started off as a group of survivors who, in contrast to our lost brothers, the Outcasts, set out to find the rest of our kind, believing we had been forever lost to them. At first, everything was rough, we landed on a desolate, barren world where organic resources were diminutive, and strove to survive with all the hardships we had to face, our dying children, the sacrifice of our older, weaker hermanos and so on..
We have come a long way, and now we have become a virus. I believe the Outcasts and the Corsairs have a chance to become one again. However unlikely that time is to come within my lifetime, I have decided to fight, to end the conflict as quickly as possible, knowing if I killed 500 Outcasts to end the war in a year, I'd be saving 50000 Hispanians from dying if the war lasts ten more. The wisest of us know that heroes exist on both sides, and that we cannot blame the other for our own problems. The Outcasts didn't ask for their home to be filled with that poison that has kept them grasped for so long, and doomed their children to a life of corruption and creating dependency in others, sharing their doom and surviving by all means. We Corsairs didn't either ask for Crete to be a nearly lifeless wasteland of rock and sand, forcing us to play dirty and each day robbing us of morality with every being not of our kind. Now, we stand here, filled with the blood of hundreds, thousands.
The reason for this transmission, though, focuses on a matter which has finally robbed me of my patience. I cannot stand watching how we dishonor ourselves, bringing giant colossus into battles rather than honor our enemies armed in horses, with their swords and spears ready. Yes, I'm talking about every day launching capital ships and rampaging around in a vessel so costly to maintain, knowing we can use those very same credits to find food for our own families, and all less fortunate families that share our home.
I have, since I can remember, raided trading ships, ransacked stations, looted the remains of a large train while its crew took off in their escape pods, holding their insurance in hand to continue doing what they do best. And I have done so believing I would someday become powerful enough to change the fate of Sirius, forever. Putting great effort into the construction of the Black Emerald, I'd hoped she would rarely be needed, defending our home against the most lethal of attacks was her purpose.
Unlike me, though, a lot of Corsairs have used power offensively, not having any honor in battle and pretending to be their world's last hope, while in fact being the bane of our race. This has to end, now.
Using the influence my position and well-earned respect has earned me, I have personally asked the Council of Elders for certain 'measures' that must be taken in order to preserve what The Brotherhood stands for. We are not the ones responsible for the atrocities commited in the name of Crete, but as our oath consists of protecting the best interest and the very core of life in Gamma with our lives, we must now assume that responsibility, and cleanse our land of what destroys its honor and reputation.
This does not mean that I will be hunting down and destroying every excess capital ship in Corsair territory, instead, I hereby present this pain in my heart, to everyone who calls his or herself a Corsair, and wish to improve our way of life and internal justice. It is obvious we lack food, so why must we sacrifice the well-fare of the inhabitants of Crete, for a bunch of ragged fools calling themselves Corsair Gunboat Captains, Cruiser Commanders and Fleet Admirals? This shouldn't be happening.
Today, I have pledged a vote of justice in our way of life, and urging us to reconsider what we are doing, and what seal are we marking our children with. Tomorrow, we might be standing on top of the corpses of every inhabitant of Sirius, alone in this part of space, unless we, unless I prevent it...somehow..
Martial law? Maybe. Dishonor, injustice and greed? Never again.
Truly yours,
Sky

Hola brothers and sisters. I only hope that all of us will take words of Centurion Skyelius to our hearts. I am bored and most time really angry when i see number of battleships or cruisers that launch from crete or from tripoli when come enemy with little force. Corsairs are know in Sirius as one of the best pilots and that was reached not by using battleships in every fight, but by improving our skills in fighters or bombers. now when nomads enter our space in two light fighters, we send again them fleet that can destroy planet! and that is not right, we must come back to start. to our titans or praetorians. all know how devastating can be these ships. i am sure that 3-4 our bombers, can make more damage to enemy ships as 3-4 our legate dreadnoughts without escort. so why not use them? and all know how expensive is to build one legate and how expensive is to use it. so when some of our brothers have enough money for them, why i dont see full ships of food,medical suplies, or water coming to crete everyday? when some people have enough money to be so much tiem in space in their bs, why they have not enough money to help crete? to help our people? in past corsairs was all people with honour, now they are people with big guns and big mouths.
And last thing. Today when i was in malvada cloud i meet one of the keeper, he was only scout, they are searching someone who kill lot of their brothers, and i know that he is not alone who is killing nomads in battleship only for fun,or as sport or what. and he was trying to communicate with me trough telepatic bridge. all his words was not clear, but i understand from them this: pain, danger, gamma, crete, home of corsairs, pay for death. when i understand it correct , then maybe in future are our houses in danger. and when i come one day home and i find it damaged from nomads, then have people who make them angry problem.

Centurion Skyelius stated a very critical point. The Yanez family, as well as many other Corsair families, are each bound to their own codex of honor. One of the highest crimes a Corsair can commit is to break the codex their family is bound to. What I want to tell you, hermanos and hermanas, is that I don't see those who break the codex of honor as full-blooded Corsairs. But I will respect such as full-blooded Corsairs again if they prove themselves honorable and take care for equality in every fight.
A Corsair's ship should show the amount of respect he has earned in his years, not the wealth he has gathered with some shady operations. My heart is filled with pride whenever I see a young Corsair telling excitedly of his victorious fight against an Outcast fighter. It gives me the feeling that the traditions of the old Corsair Nation still live on. But I am always ashamed when I spot a Corsair coming out of his escape pod, his gunboat destroyed by an enemy bomber in a fight which he should actually win. He could have spent the money for food rather than a gunboat...
Therefore, I agree with Centurion Skyelius to end this outragous situation once and for all, either with words or with swords. I will not see the dearly beloved nation I grew up in gets corrupted by the dishonorable half of our selves again.

I am also tired of seeing our children and elderly starving, while 5 Legate Dreadnoughts orbit Crete. It is long passed time to start thinking of the people of Crete first and our own ego's second. I fully support the views expressed by my Hermano's. The Brotherhood will stand for something.

We are a militant group of radical Corsairs who prefer to achieve their goals by force than by using diplomatic ways as the diplomacy has repeatedly proved to be useless and leads to corruption rather than to its intended goals.
This is The Brotherhood. now we was trying solve the battleship problem with diplomacy. When it will not work then we use other way. I only hope it will be not needed.
I address the message to Skyelius, as well as to all my brother and sister Corsairs. Skyelius, you are a corsair of singular skill and bravery, many of our enemies have fallen under your guns, and your exploits have filled the coffers of Crete, and helped feed our multitudes, of that you should be proud.
Let me though speak of some of the things you have said, i offer a different perspective.
You speak of the honour of our enemies, the outcasts - and yes indeed, they do have a certain martial pride about them. One cannot help but acknowledge their skill. But never forget who they are - while it is honorable to meet them on equal terms - these people are our enemies. They stand against us at each turn, they thwart us at each step and while they might not have asked to land on a cardamine covered rock they now use that same cardamine to subvert and control, rendering whole people's into addiction and servitude until they are mindless Outcast puppets - where is the honour in that?
They ally with our enemies when and where they can until now we stand surrounded by foes with no real allies of our own to speak of... and where is the honour in that? It is quite easy to demand you be met "equally" when half of Sirius supports you against a people vastly outnumbered.
What you speak of is martial pride and martial honour. I myself captain a gunboat and a Cruiser. I will stand ready to aid any Corsair who requires it. Though i will not interfere in a battle of honour, i will offer my assistance, but my brothers and sisters need not accept it. I feel that many of our new captains are headstrong however, they seek their own glory and they do not see a bigger picture.
There is no shame in this in itself, it is the right of every Corsair to better themselves and achieve what they may, though all Corsairs should as you say, be aware of the plight of their own people. If you choose to spend your fortune on a mighty vessel of war, then that is your choice, but how do you use that to benefit our people?, how do you use that to help those who have no fortune to spend and who cannot take to the stars? This is what our brothers and sisters need to be reminded of.
For myself? I have it within my influence to have goods of necessity brought to Crete by certain parties, and so it is done. Many a time have i flown the Xibanya Nuren to Yanagi, and returned with her hold filled with food and supplies, it is the least i can do.
But i will say this to all of you. You of the Brotherhood, of the Benitez family, you of the OPG. You owe your allegiances to your families yes, but you are, first and foremost Corsairs. Never forget this.
And those hotheaded irreverent Captains and commanders whose presence you find so objectionable are also Corsairs. Do not forget this.
IF you owe a greater allegiance to your house than you do your people then i believe you have lost your way.
I say to you if you raise your hands against your brothers and sisters, if you fire upon them then you are not only dishonouring yourself, you dishonour all corsairs. It is the mark of true wisdom and honour that a man persuades his brothers with words, with reason, and finally with passion. Your kin are that by blood, by name and by honour - and while you may object to what they do, and how they do it, unsheathing your sword upon those who are your own by blood....
This is a fools way, and it is a path to all our destructions.
I will never fire upon another who calls themselves Corsair, nor will i abide, sanction or comply with any directive that compels Corsairs to do so. We are at war, we stand almost alone against a multitude of enemies pitted against us and now., more than ever is the time for unity.
Hola brothers, OPG from frontline reporting. We have just moved majority of our fleet back to the frontline, controlling Leon, Cadiz and major omega crossroads.
I applaud encouraging Corsairs to go back to their old ways and prove they are still good in combat as they are dedicated to their cause.
It will not come to the grudges between corsairs. I know it, I strongly believe it, because as it was stated in previous discussions - we have enough problems already.
The three major families should talk to them, encourage them and motivate them to fly ships that made Crete what it is.
But listen my words carefully Corsairs. Although I haven't got a capital ship, I will be proud of every single one my brothers have when Bounty Hunters, or any other enemies appear in fleet consisting of 6 capital ships. I'll rather have our members store heavy artillery where it can defend us, than to see our enemies pick us off one by one while we desperately try to take down second of their six capital ships.

Hola Ben, i think you understand this open transmission wrong. This open transmission is not again all corsairs in battleships, for example you are one of the best corsair, that i know, but this transmission is again corsairs who come out with their bs always. You know how much honour i feel when 2 nomad light fighters was only passing trough omicron gamma, only passing not attacking and after some 10 seconds i see 2 battleships and one cruiser undocking from crete with words: lets go hunt them. you know how i feel? or how feel my friend in his trading vessel globalp-svk, when he meet in omicron delta 5 corsair battleships? and nothing more? no bounty hunters,no nomads nothing? only 5 bs? and their only bussines was to hunting little nomads for guns. you still think,that this has something with honour?
Dont forget one thing Ben. Is really big difference between good battleship or cruiser captain,(as you) and bad battleship or cruiser captain who buy that ship only because it is big and strong and he can scream how big hero he is.
