My Most Marvelous Friends,

I am Maximilian Millionaire, Captain of the Luxury Liner Maldives. While normally communications from me will have a light an airy sort of laissez faire attitude you will find this one not at all like the others.

In short the Coalition, though its agent CPW-Prypyat, violated our hard brokered agreement. Wherein Orbital complies with your regulations and you don't put holes in my pretty liner. And yet this morning, literally before noon (my god who can work such intolerable hours) I find my entire ship, office, and home being shaken like some toddlers toy by a Coalition Warship Prypyat. This is unacceptable I cannot be expected to uphold an agreement that is being so bluntly violated. As such the following has occurred.

1. CPW-Prypyat and crew have been blacklisted from the Luxury Liner Maldives, until such time that a fine in the amount of 1 billion credits is paid to Orbital Spa and Cruise
   
   
2. All Coalition Forces will find their landing rights to the Maldives restricted for the next 12 hours while additional security measures are implemented.
   
   
3. All Coalition Forces will be searched upon boarding for weapons and other contraband for the next two weeks
   
   
4. All Coalition Forces will be expected to observe a No Fire Zone of 2.5 K from the station for a minimum of 30 days.

The only item on this list I am permitting negotiation on is the size of the fine to be paid by the Prypyat, if they would prefer to not pay anything I would be all to happy to ensure they never step foot on this or any other Orbital facility ever again.


Regards,

Comrade Millionaire,

I am Major Grachov of Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army, captain of one and only "Pripyat"-class Coalition Destroyer. This transmission was directed to me as it has concerning notes about my ship.

The real Pripyat is undergoing repairs after our little skirmishes with Bretonian Armed Forces. It is not in active service right now, nor was it for the last two weeks. The ship you've encountered was an impostor and a fugitive. We sincerely apologize for that and we would appreciate any info you could spare about the vessel that attacked you. Rest assured, the fugitives will be found and punished accordingly.

Grachov Anatoli
