THE REAL TRUTH

"After the statement made by the Corsairs and Coalition Forces moved in to defend intermittent combat sparked in the Omega-49 System with a major engagement over Gran Canaria itself resulting in the disabling of a Corsair Battleship, however Coalition Forces were forced to withdrawl due to a superior enemy fighter-screen.

Furthermore Corsair Forces bombarded and destroyed a Bretonian Refugee Camp on Gran Canaria on the faulty assumption of it being a Coalition 'War Camp', the Havana returned the favor by destroying a Corsair settlement of equal population density in vengeance for the loss of life to the civilians of Omega-49, the lack of following up on investigating these Corsair rumours and the blatant destructions of the refugee camp and Corsair settlement have angered the local population towards both the Sirius Coalition and the Corsairs who have demanded that both sides fight the war outside of Omega-49 despite the Corsair Empire being the obvious aggressor in the conflict.

This lack of support is staggering and likely the work of The Brotherhood who according to sources have been feeding the local population on Gran Canaria mis-information and have instated Martial Law upon the planet. Coalition General Garcia has commented that the lack of investigation on both the Corsairs and Zoners are making securing the region for civilians a herculean task.

Coalition Forces at present are preparing for a counter-attack to free the system after the withdraw of the Havana after the bombing of the Corsair settlement. Details on the next phase of the campaign have been unfortunately classified but we will bring you further news as it develops."
