Vagrant Raiders (VR-)

[SummerMcLovin]

Just a little help to understand Liberty's view on the matter:

The reason for our decision is twofold. Primarily, the disarmament and/or withdrawal of entities hostile to the Republic is usually viewed as a favourable outcome. While the intensity of our war with Rheinland is gradually dwindling, as both sides continue to take more defensive postures, you know all too well the threat of the Gallic Navy splintering through Bretonia and slipping towards Liberty's border. Accordingly, we cannot afford to be making more enemies at a time when we need all of our resources dedicated to eliminating the most prominent threats. While the Vagrant Raiders pose a minor threat at best, with their total combat potential projected to be well below the Hellfire Legion, it takes a wide search net to catch a small target, and thus trying to pin down their forces can be an extremely inefficient operation. By removing the Raiders from Liberty, we have the dual advantages of one less hostile group to keep in check, and knowing where their headquarters will be established. Should they betray us at a later stage - an eventuality that we have no choice but to prepare for - we will be able to strike directly at the heart of their operations.

Secondarily, the cessation of hostilities with the Vagrant Raiders provides a psychological boon to the population of Liberty. Civilians will feel more secure with the knowledge that there is one less predatory gang waiting to pounce from the void, and also that the Government in its benificence is able to forgive (to a certain degree) these low-lives for bearing arms against us. While it is an unlikely situation at best, there is a slim chance that their choice might persuade other miscreant parties to depart Liberty or seek forgiveness for their previous hostilities.
