Guten tag,

It seems that Kruger and IMG are always meeting under strained circumstances, however when working in such close proximity I guess it is only inevitable. Thankfully both corporations have a strong and intelligent leadership that can see past squabbles between our employees. But at the same time a good leader cannot ignore the squabbles. Today an IMG gunboat attacked a Kruger escort. Now I have been trying my best to get the full story before accusations are made.

As I am understanding it right now, a non-union Kruger member was out of line. To keep Kruger from feeling any repercussions from a misbehaving miner, the non-union member was asked to leave. According to testimony a conflict ensued, to which extent I am still unsure. However that incident is not on topic. That would be an in house matter, that Kruger would and will handle. And if that miner felt abused or otherwise threatened, he could contact Kruger, and we would use all resources to investigate the matter. But again that matter is separate but was an introduction to the hostilities on a union Kruger member.

Here is the first guncam I will be presenting as proof. HERE. and destruction. HERE.

As you can see IMG|Gene.Starwind[T] is "paying" Kruger back for something, from the testimony of present individuals, the IMG is protecting or revenging a non-union Kruger member from Kruger. I know it is a bit confusing, I am still trying to get a hold of what happened. And then obviously IMG|Gene.Starwind[T] destroys Kruger|Gamma-02.

There are quite a few issues to address here, so I will start simple. One of your ships destroyed one of our ships, so we would like an explanation of IMG's side, I will admit as of now I am assuming that this aggression was not authorized. One thing that is also very troubling to Kruger is the fact that the IMG ship was using a gunboat class. That is borderline military grade equipment, attacking Rheinland citizens in Rheinland space. That is troubling to Kruger and I am sure it would also trouble higher authorities of Rheinland.

Next, if IMG|Gene.Starwind[T] is protecting miners there, he should understand he vastly over stepped his responsibilities. Not only is dealing with non-union Krugers our right, it is our responsibility. You should tell your members that they should not interfere with matters that don't concern them. Now if my miners had been ordering around an IMG member, this would be a completely different situation. But I would like you to know, that I explained to my miners that they should next time get proof of misbehaving non-union members, and forward this on to command instead of dealing with it themselves.

And finally the last thing I would like a response to is the threatening of war by IMG|Gene.Starwind[T]. I would have you look at this for proof. HERE.

Now I would like to present Kruger's position as clear as possible. We are not currently holding IMG as a whole responsible for this incident. I am hoping that this was an unauthorized act of aggression. These incidents often test our relations, but they also show Kruger that there is intelligence running IMG and we can work with that. But we do request a response to be completely sure. We would also like to be informed of the dealings with the individual that commands, IMG|Gene.Starwind[T]. We would like to know if they will continue to work for the IMG. If so, of course Kruger demands compensation for our Roc bomber class ship.

Once we figure this incident out, I propose the leadership of Kruger and the leadership of IMG meet to discuss a stronger Omega 7 treaty. I know we have talked about this before but I think after this we may require a more specific treaty. We are patiently awaiting a response from the IMG command.

One quick thing to be added, as you can see we do not have a guncam of the hostile ship, but if IMG has any conflicting evidence Kruger will listen.

Greetings mr Albrecht,

I am rather shocked by having received this report. The identification of the vessel in question is of a high ranking IMG guild member, and I must assume the member in question had good reasons for his actions. I am however, at present unaware of them.
The Independant Mining Guild's patrol vessels serve only one real purpose in the Omega's: To keep the mining fleets safe. In this respect we have agreed to cover each other's backs - Kruger vessels will keep IMG miners safe from pirates, and vice-versa. The only reason I can think of for Gene to fire on one of your own patrol vessels is if your vessel attacked a miner - Any miner.

I will ask you to be patient and give mr. Starwind a chance to respond on his own behalf. Until then, consider the matter under investigation from our end.

Regards,
- Johnathan Sanders, director of R&D, Independant Miners Guild

Zed greets,

who did fabricated this guncams ? Zed knows Gene well, and no kruger miner will make Zed doubt of Gene's actions. Now, why donÂ´t ya leave this as a miner issue and not an IMG - Kruger issue.

Zed might know what happened, and your pilots might need to know that we, for many times, defended miners on the fields, ours, krugers, independents. Now, if any of your pilots thinks that he owns or can demand any miner to do what they want while an IMG vessel is around, he is wrong.

We are miners, but we will stand against any agression towards a miner, maybe except those bretonian bastards, but that's another issue.

Now, go drink some beer, whiskey or your poison and leave this to be, aye?

Signed,

Zed

Oh, and why do you keep saying Omega 7 being part of Rheinland ? Remenber whod did arrived first. And we respect Rheinland laws, and for many times faced that speech and the results were nasty. So, like Zed said, 2 miners were drunk and fought for a woman, aye ? AYE!!!!...

Fabricated guncams? That would almost be laughable, if it wasn't concerning such a serious event! If you think they have been modified, please have an expert take a look. And am I understanding this correctly, since IMG has protected Kruger Miners in the past, that then gives them the right to destroy our ships? That is some twisted logic, and we won't stand for it. Yes! We do consider Omega 7 part of Rheinland, and so do many others. If you would like to contest that, your going to have to convince quite a few more than just Kruger Minerals. But now I must ask why am I even wasting energy on you, who are you Zed? Are you apart of IMG command? If not I think you should get authorization before you adress this channel as though you are speaking for IMG. And if you are a part of the command, I do wish you would identify yourself as such. Then we could continue discussing your position on the matter.

To Herr Sanders, now I feel you are a much more reasonable man and look forward to your findings in your invesitagtion. We at Kruger do hope you finish your investigation as fast as possible so we can move on from this. Now I do find it even more troubling that you say this was a high ranking member, does this mean he would have the authorizationg to threaten war, and or stomp over long standing agreements with IMG and Kruger? I sure hope not, we are about making credits, and this does nothing but hamper that. I need to adress one other matter, the matter about you saying Gene was protecting a miner. It is not within his rights to interfere when Kruger is dealing with non-union members. I cannot make that any more clear. And if Gene did have a problem he should have forwarded it to command and then we could have discussed this diplomatically. Kruger is here trusting IMG, we are not out threatening war!

I do wish I could have just in gored the incident, and let miners handle their own matters. Except one major problem, I do not know how it works at IMG but we cannot throw ships away like they were candy. Now I feel I am being very calm and patient, I still do not hold IMG responsible, however we do require a response and explanation from someone at IMG who has some authority. If Gene will continue to be employed by IMG, as stated earlier we require compensation. That Roc had the Super Nova Anti-Matter cannon equipped, that alone sets Kruger back a couple million credits. Let us settle this matter as fast as possible so that both of our companies can go back to doing what we do best, mining and making credits.

//So there is no confusion, Kruger RPs that indie Krugers are non-union, then obviously offical Krugers are union members.

OK i didnt want this to turn into something big but i guess it might be past that. I would love to have this time to explain myself and my actions if I may?

*takes the floor

Ok so it goes like this, I get reports time and time again of Kruger trying to boss people around in Omega 7 as if they own these cobalt and Silver fields. Well on this day iam passing thru Omega 7 from Omega 3 and i get a cry from help from a lonely little miner named " Rock.Drone.Gamma.2" a drone that is under my command not control. I ask him what the issue is and he says that Kruger is asking him to leave the field. I ask him to stay there untill i get there to have a word with this Kruger pilot.

Note: Yes the Drone is Kruger but still a miner and a free one at that! i don't care if it was a phantom miner i would have had his back too if he couldn't defend himself.

I was about 20 clicks out ( from gamma 2s position) when i see on my long range scanners that his Vessel has been destroyed. he had no right to destroy this Drone and his contents. I was pissed! we are miners, all here for the same thing and Kruger always acting tough. At this point i spoke in system as made evident in the first post here. I gave him plenty of warning and i was not going to tolorate this any longer. You think a Leader of the Guild is not going to protect the Independents that flourish in the fields well your wrong. I will protect all those who cant for them selfs! If iam in the wrong for defending my fellow miners, IMG or not, then dam i have been wrong my whole life. Even If it was a Kruger guy getting destroyed by some idiot i would have stopped that as well.

This Kruger had it coming and should just be a lesson to him. Be a little nicer out there because you never know whats around the corner. I have nothing against you Kruger and admire your hard work a will to survive. I wish no war or further conflicts, the comment i made about war was in deffense of the slander i was receiving from the fallen pilot nothing more. i tried to talk to him after things settled down but it seemed he was already getting drunk at the bar. In hopes to resolve this in private and not in the open channels of Sirius.

I hope IMG and Kruger can come to an Understanding on this matter. I will appologize for my actions tho i do not feel at fault.

Gene Starwind, Over-and-Out

You didn't want this to turn into something? Are you being serious? I am starting to get worried by these responses, I don't see the devotion for a peaceful resolution that I have. I really believe I have been very blunt and to the point, and you at IMG seem to continue on the thinking that you are a higher authority when it comes to non-union Krugers.

I will try to be as clear as possible so no one at IMG could possibly misunderstand our position. First even though I do not feel it is of anyone other than Krugers business, I will discuss the Kruger Rock Drone. According to reports, he attacked my escort. My escort was defending himself, and since you were not close enough to see what happened, you made an assumption you knew what was going on. You do not think you should have investigated first? Run in guns a-blazing huh? And then to accuse Kruger of being petty. You blew up our ship, and could have killed my employee.

I am bewildered at how things are run over at IMG, but I will not attack your guild, for you are quite successful. It must work for you. People counted Kruger down and out many times now, and we are still here. Besides having the dedicated miners, I like to think that a lot of our strength comes from our loyalty. We will stick up for each other through thick and thin! IMG will not come into Omega 7 and destroy Kruger ships. That cannot and will not stand! What I don't understand, is I thought IMG and Kruger recently negotiated a simple treaty in Omega 7. If there have been reports of Krugers bossing others around and threatening miners, shouldn't that have brought to commands attention? I would have dealt with it swiftly and severely. We here at Kruger have, and follow a strict chain of command.

And yes, to burst your bubble, I do have the final say when it comes to non-union Kruger members, not the IMG. I do NOT have the right to order non-union Krugers around, UNLESS they are jeopardizing the mining efforts in Omega 7, more specifically when the non-union member attacks union members. Now I guess I could accept you thought you were defending a miner, however ... you weren't. You interfered with business that was not of your concern. As stated earlier, IF that Rock Drone was somehow treated unfairly, the person in command of that vessel could make a report to Kruger Command. Again I give my miners no freedom in restricting non-union members. I have a feeling I know why no such report was made.

Could it be because the person in command of said vessel is the IMG Director of Trade? It is a bit confusing to me on how the IMG is commanding a Kruger Rock Drone. You certainly didn't purchase the drone from us, I know there are ways of acquiring such vessels, however they are quite valuable to us. It almost seems that IMG is using Krugers patented silver mining techniques to advance their own agenda. This will have to put under intense investigation by Kruger.

But I know I have a tendency to get long winded and I apologize, so I will sum this up. You have explained yourself, and I guess I will believe you did not have malicious intent. However you still abandoned diplomacy to pursue violent ends. That will not ensure stability in Omega 7, and I urge IMG to try diplomacy before using violence. Now we are asking for 25 million credits which will help replace the ROC Bomber and reimburse the pilot for lost wages. And we ask, IMG apologizes to Kruger, not for blowing up the ship, but for ignoring the treaty we have set up, and meddling with inter-house Kruger affairs.

And again I will request after this is settled IMG and Kruger pursue a stronger and more defined treaty in Omega 7.

Ok let me clear this up for you! It is not me who is piloting this Vessel (// as in its not my char and or account) but a close friend of mine. what he does for me, Not IMG, is none of your concern as he follows Kruger laws and rules set forth by their IDs. the IMG has no direct ties to these drones at all nor do they or have they ever communicated. Its me personaly in my personal business who "controls" these drones. So in no way is IMG trying to steal your Tech to help improve IMG mining!! i hope that is clear.

Second this is a Drone it is niether he or she just a drone, you know like an AI. Kruger drones are more reliable and require less mantiance thus the reason i choose them to work for me. ( you know the other reason why as well but again no Ties with the IMG, i have my own INDY personal business as i am a business man.). I also know for a fact that he did not fire on your little Roc bomber Kruger guy. If in fact you have some evedince i request to see it as soon as possible. This vessel is equipped with 1 mining turret and some weak sauce class 3 guns i don't think that would scratch the paint of your ships.

Also i gave your pilot plenty of warning to power up his weapons but he may have been in shock by my angry fist of doom. Omega 7 is my baby, i work out of omega 7 and always have sence before you were born. I will not stand by while miners are getting attacked by their own people or not! The free miners of Omega 7 love me for this will to protect those who cant and if the situation were reversed i would have had your back (Kruger) as well. Yes i did go stright to force but maybe iam tired of Talking and its time to take action. While Kruger sits in the shadows us at the IMG are men and women of action and we get things done! I peronaly am tired of talking to these thick headed ego boosters who never get the message. Iam no police or military we know this but i will defend any miner (except BMM).

I do not mind paying for your ship its the least i can do. As long as your little Kruger pilot knows he was in the wrong as well. I will not however apologize for breaking any treaty as i feel it was not broken at all, i simply was slapping your pilots hand ( not my place to do so i know but iam not going to stand around and watch miners get abused, and by their own people too).

If you look to revise this Treaty currently set up now due to this issue i encourage it. Keep in mind you need us as much as we need you. If you dont feel this way then i will be looking forward to the future of Omega 7.

-Contact me personaly for your Credits not IMG.
-Contact me over private comms. to discuss these Drones of mine (there are 7 of us by the way)

This is getting out of control and frankly a bit frustrating. I hope you and i can work something out so this does not turn into something it shouldn't. I look forward to speaking with you in person hell ill buy you a drink a Freeport 1 if you like.

After reviewing the evidence and testimonies from both parties by our Directors, the Independent Miners Guild will agree to pay your 25 million credit retribution fee, simply as a plea of Nolo Contendere.

We only wish to resolve this issue peacefully.

Additionally, I will personally hire an appropriate representative to re-write the Treaty of Omega-7 to include all interested parties and hopefully cover all hypothetical scenarios.

Please contact me via private communications to arrange the payment.

Thank you, this is what we have been waiting for. You must understand to keep the loyalty of my men and show them leadership will stick up for them, this incident in no way could have been ignored. I knew the leadership of IMG would show they have true intelligence and also show they strive for peace. The credits can be transferred to the company account, Kruger|Vault-01. And considering the apology, that was more a means of negotiation and that can be forgotten. We do feel the treaty of Omega 7 should be re-written, on the basis that, if Kruger Command was approached diplomatically a lot of this could have been avoided.

And just to address Gene quickly, I did not accuse you of piloting the drone. You stated that you were in command of said vessel. That was merely curious to me, because Kruger AI drones are quite expensive and advanced technology. We usually like to keep drone use inside Kruger, since they are quite hard to come by. One of my biggest concerns as leader of Kruger is to be vigilant of other miners trying to capitalize on our patented silver mining techniques, that allow us to mine silver quicker and more efficiently than other miners. But if our drones are going to be employed outside Kruger, I would prefer it our allies, IMG. This could possibly blossom into more areas where Kruger and IMG share technology.

But I am extremely happy that this was resolved peacefully and await a stronger treaty in Omega 7 so that IMG and Kruger may continue on with what they do best, make credits.

We still have not received transfer of credits, I will remind you of the account: Kruger|Vault-01

I understand that I was asked to contact you both personally, but I don't think its my responsibility to figure out who to contact. So I would appreciate it if you could decide who will be paying the 25 million credits. The sooner we get this settled, the sooner we can worry about more important issues.
