Origin: Flagship Ableben

I bring grave news. It seems The Brotherhood has little motivation to keep this situation civil or keep it from worsening. The Ableben was on its daily patrol of Theta when it found Brotherhood member Yanez and gunboat Sicarii. Not wishing to escalate the problems I sent a request for their business in Theta. If they had legit business I'd have let them stay and go about any business they had if they any. They did not. After I requested they leave I got the response "We'll think about it" from Yanez. About 2 minutes later I found out the entire argument was a delaying action and their presence was nothing more than a trap to get me stuck in. Corsair Praefect Cruisers Lord Marshal and Toombs approached and opened fire upon entering max range for cruiser weaponry.

If it were a trap, it was a very badly preformed one. Apparently the Corsairs forgot the mechanical prowess of our engineers at Livadia. The Ableben took down both Praefects without suffering any hull damage. Right as the second Praefect was destroyed, Vendhyen arrived in his Osiris and targeted Sicarii. The Ableben likewise targeted the gunboat and he was shortly destroyed. Yanez fled, but later was disrupted by a nearby Outcast who held him as I caught up to the Corsair. He was then quickly destroyed.

I had hoped the aggression would come to this point, especially this quickly. I sincerely hope their leadership is more level-headed then these.

Admiral Soren out.
