COMM ID:Grand Reaper Juan Zavala - RoS. TARGET:Public. SUBJECT:Omega 50
Ladies and gentlemen, you may or may not know my voice, but you will know the organisation for which I speak. The Reapers of Sirius have long sought to put an end to the agressive posturing and imperialistic behaviour of many groups in the Omicron and Omega systems. Our existance is in the interests of peace.
I wish to speak to you today about the Coalition. I'm sure those of you with an interest will have noted their declaration of intent regarding the Omega 50 system.
The Coalition, having made promises of 'protection' and 'security' to the Zoner population, have taken this trusted position and turned it to their own territorial advantage.
Their's is the very ideology which drove humanity from our home, the Sol system, cost countless lives and sent us spiraling with little hope of survival into the deep black of space. It is an ideology of conquest, oppression, dictatorial governance and despotism. This cannot stand. We ask you, the people of Omega 50 to rise up with us and crush the imperial dreams of the Red Devil.
'Premier' Katz is little more than another cowardly imperialist dressed in red and preaching human understanding. A true wolf in sheep's clothing.
We, The Reapers of Sirius, will hold back the Red Tide. Their territorial claim on Omega 50 is not the will of those who call the system home. Our guns, as always, shall act in the defence of the people of Sirius. We never miss.
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
COMM ID: Premier Alvin Katz of the Coalition
LOCATION: Office of the Premier – Omega-52
TARGET ID: The Specters of men long past dead.
We expected your reaction, Zavala, we know that the Reapers of Sirius have long haunted the Omega-50 system. Criminals, clinging to the shattered dreams of a failed galactic superpower.
I wonder, do you recall the fall of Paradise Station? Were you there?
We have an epic poem of the battle, one that is still recited in our ranks. For it was this battle that marked the turn in the tide of the war against the Alliance, it was the fall of that impregnable fortress that signaled the end of the Alliance, the fall of your... Paradise.
It was the Red Dawn for Sol, and I wonder if this moment will see history repeat itself.
The Epic tells of the sixteen Martyrs who gave their lives to see the ultimate victory of the people.
Simple men, enraged at the persecution, waste, and greed of the Corporate controlled Alliance.
The sixteen men within their ships
Sixteen men with sixteen bombs
They rode toward the Allied fort
Fast toward the shining dawn
These sixteen men with sixteen bombs
Heroes with no love for self
They broke the gates of paradise
And left this realm in glory
Silver streaks upon the night
Golden blooms of fiery hope
A reddened dawn fraught with blood
A golden sun full of hope
They rode toward the Allied fort
The sixteen men with sixteen bombs
Fast toward the shining dawn
The sixteen men within their ships
Their sacrifice, Zavala, wrested open the gates of paradise, venting the station to space, allowing Coalition Forces to reach the ships within. Those cowards that had dared hide behind their defenses in defiance of the will of the people.
We will meet your fleet, if you dare to poke your head out of your hole. If not, we will rend the gates open, and we will drag you out!
Your days are finally at an end. Premier Alvin Katz

Comm ID: [TAZ]Doc Holliday
Location: Personal Quarters, [TAZ]Med.Force.One
To: Grand Reaper Juan Zavala
Kallisti, Mr. Zavala
I don't believe that I've had the privilege to meet your acquaintance. I am Dr. John Henry Holliday and I am leader of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners. I am also the founder of this great ship, Med.Force.One, in which I invested much time, sweat, hopes and dreams to build.
I have read about the incidents in Omega 50 that lead to the declaration by the Coalition. I'm still not sure as to the exact circumstances but I have begun trying to figure it all out and settle this peacefully. For those aboard this ship, it is imperative as we provide aid to those personnel on Boa Vista Station and Porto Novo.
My concern is this. If hostilities begin in Omega 50, I fear it will lead to greater conflict in the system and could well bleed over into Omega 49 and we, the Zoner population, will get caught in the middle. I only recently finished processing the certificates from the hundreds of dead, many of which were women and children, from recent hostilities in Omicron Theta and Freeport One. If I never have to do this again I won't be happy enough.
I ask of you, Sir, even if it's for a short time, to allow us to seek a diplomatic solution. For me personally, this is a deep issue as my wife and daughter aren't far away at our Estate on Gran Canaria. Although I have let other Zoners take up the way of the Ambassador of late, this one is too close to home......and family...for me.
To: All those who call Omega 50 home
From: Miguel Sephardi, The Corsair Brotherhood
Hola Zavala, Hola Doc Holiday,
This message is to inform everyone involved in the situation that the Corsair Empire will not abide the expansion of the SCRA into Omega 50. Omega 50 holds a special place in my heart, and a special place in the Empire, and we do not intend to see it encroached upon vile coalition who have time upon time thrust their asked for peace and welcome only to thrust their knives into the backs off all of those who would call the Omegas and Omicrons home. To the Zoners, we shall give you time to seek out a diplomatic solution, but trust my word, should we begin to think your diplomacy is failing, if we should think that the SCRA are just using talks as a delaying tactic to solidify their actions in our system, the Corsairs, and the Brotherhood in particular will act, unilaterally if necessary to secure Omega 50 from the red threat. Evoking the old earth adage, "Better dead than red."
The Corsair Empire will not abide by this seizing of territory. Should Zoner efforts at a peaceful resolution fail, or simply be used as time-wasting to entrench yourselves in Omega 50, what Miguel says will happen is the likely course of events.
Since i am not quite on good relations with sirius history handbooks and encyclopedias, let me ask you one simple and short, as i see it, question, Premier Alvin Katz of the Coalition.
How exactly did it happen so that the system you call "your territory" has no planets, stations, shipyards or other immobile units transmitting Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army IFF response, exclusively? Knowing that will really help me personally, as the party involved in the incident, to understand the situation a bit better. Even the reference to proper article in freely avaliable in neuralnet "wiki" will do.
[color=#330000]I find this somewhat ironic. Not too long ago a Coalition pilot had a talk with me. He claimed that we, the Imperio del Corsario, were the devil, metaphorically said. He said how bad it was to rob the greedy capitalistic corporations and once I told him about the food problem he instantly mentioned that we shouldn't have waged that short war with the Zoners in Omicron Theta space. But look what's going on now? The Coalition decided that the Zoners should be shot at. It's weird how things change so fast, isn't it? Well, I can't wait to see what will turn out of this, maybe the Omega systems will turn out to be my priority once more? After all - when words fail, there is always the shotgun diplomacy.
Two sides claims to be the "protectors" of the common folk of Sirius... two sides who has motives which goes beyond that seemingly simple agenda.
One composed of wayward and confused brothers and sisters of the nation stained by genetic weakness... and one side composed of poltergeists of Sol which seeks to repeat the mistakes made by their progenitors.
I would say that this situation is sad, and that the "victims" of this conflict are needless, but some bloodshed might cause the wayward fools who wish to side with either one of these anarchists to think twice before ever doing so again.
