To: Zoners of Freeport 9 and surrounding systems

[valen]

[color=#FFCCCC]To all of you that question where is our neutrality. It is gone. The reason for that is simple, and would be the Corsair Empire. They have bullied us for far too long, and received no resistance in return, so they expected we will bow down to this ultimatum of theirs, which we did not do. Neutrality will be restored once they stop with their foolish demands and acts of superiority.

And I ask you this. Who do you think has access to more supplies? Us or them? Who do you think will be assisted by more nations? Every single person that has but once experienced the hospitality of us Zoners will stand by our side. Who do they have? Hm? They make a new enemy each day simply because they treat everyone like they're inferior to them.

Do not be mistaken, lives will be lost, maybe including mine. But something will be gained as well, and that something is respect. We will make everyone see that the Zoners will not be pushed as everyone seems fit. We shall also see who has superior forces in Theta. But from what I've seen, it's not looking good for the Corsairs. And you, TAZ representative. You dare to speak here after you tucked your tail and ran at the first sign of trouble? If you're so eager to enforce this blockade come to Freeport 9 and enforce it. Kneel before the Corsairs and see how other Zoners react. I see you're sitting comfy on your base in Baffin. It's easy to be a general when you don't have to fear for your own life.
