To the Corsair Elders

[Grimly]

Now we have the real proof !

While I was engaging an outcast destroyer, I was engaged by that junker scum out of their "non-fire" range.

I knew I couldn't get my ship completly out of it then I simply head to yanagi and started to destroy their scum bag of poor station !

I wouldn't be the guy who will pay the bill. The station is completly irradiated, half of the station was spammed by my SNAC. They will pay it, and they will pay HARD !

My regrets at the misunderstanding--seems we have a lot of them. Of course Corsairs are welcome at Yanagi...as you should most certainly know from past events. We endured quite a strain in our relations with the Outcasts over a Corsair simply to make these points:

Junker bases are free-trade, not war, zones. Junkers must be free to exercise supervision in these areas in order to maintain this neutrality. You want to destroy Outcasts, Outcasts want to destroy you--throw in Hessians, Bundschuh, Dragons, Bounty Hunters, Ai's and independent pirates and we simply have babylon. Junkers are the "referees" within 5k of Yanagi.

This is so ALL of our guests know they can confidently dock with no intrusion into their personal business affairs.

Behavior at Junker bases must be--by consent--restrained.

The accord we worked out with the Outcasts was a 5km (actually greater but we have simplified it) zoi for Yanagi in which no firing occurs and Junkers have traffic control regarding base access and passage rights. Non-Junkerhips entering this zone are free to dock or pass through--but not loiter. Any ship fleeing to the safe area from combat must dock or pass by with no delay.

We would ask the Corsairs to avail themselves of this accord as it benefits all. As to the rogue actions of a single pilot? It was no more than that. Rude guests are rude guests--be they Outcasts, Corsairs or anyone else and they are treated accordingly. When a Junker behaves badly, he falls alone. "Stupid is as stupid does" is our philosophy. All this pilot did is demonstrate intemperance and dishonor his nation with his childish behavior.

I also believe it is a serious matter for a pilot claiming allegiance to any group to bombard civilian bases with charged antimatter bursts as an outburst of childish temper. This is a dishonor to all he represents. There were Corsair traders and pilots onboard as well as Junkers and it invites house governments to consider "police actions" in areas where they don't need to be. Junkers will police and enforce the rules around their bases.

I trust the Don's will judge this as wisely as ever.

Respectfully,
Arbiter Vladimir Tinkerbell
