Konnichiwa, brothers and sisters!
Today, we finalized a deal with the Junker Marauders. The deal will remain unofficial, and for Guild eyes only. Our relations with the Marauders will be similar to the one we have with the Blood Dragons, although we won't be funding the Marauders directly.
They will be fairly tolerated in our space, and allowed to pirate traders that are neither our direct allies or customers who are transporting our products. For the sake of appearances, Paramilitary pilots may still respond to any emergency calls from traders who are being targeted by Marauders, to protect the trader. The pirating Marauder in question should quickly flee the moment they're confronted by our forces. We might even put up a show of a quick skirmish, just to make it look good and legit.
As such, our Paramilitary forces will not actively hunt or pursue Marauders in our space. But rest assured, if the Marauders try to back-stab us in any way, we'll be on them faster than a Kruger whiffing faint farts for gas!
In return, the Marauders have agreed to run blockades for us, hauling our products through politically sensitive areas, as well as bringing requested wares and items back to us. They will also target Samura and Kruger vessels on our behalf, to hinder their commercial businesses when opportunities arise.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to officially promote and congratulate Taruko Ishibashi to the rank of Santou Kaisa, Lieutenant Commander. We felt that it was the right way to show our appreciation for her great services and unwavering dedication to the Guild. As one of the esteemed Lt-Commanders of our Paramilitary, Taruko will only be second to the Commander in the entire Paramilitary structure. Listen to her closely whenever she leads, and trust her command. We Guild Masters do.
