During a routine flight through Sigma-13, I was today intercepted by a VFK|Sitnyik.Sotomayor out in the Crow Nebula, far away from marked trade lanes. The pilot of this ship did not appear to be friendly. Shortly after, they were joined by their friend, VFK|Wolfgang.Spielman, who happened to be in possession of cardamine. A brief exchange of words made their intentions clear, and I soon found myself under fire under the supposed justification of a previous encounter. Were I to face these two ships alone, I would likely have been finding my way home in a pod, or worse, not at all. Fortunately, I was joined by a fellow Guildmember, and we engaged in even combat. The hostiles put up a strong fight, but were eventually taken down one by one, albeit at the cost of the exemplary friendly ship.
I was later forced to limp back to Helgoland Station, my Eagle VHF having sustained heavy damage. The communications log is attached.

[25.03.2016 19:22:56] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Please hold for routine inspection.
[25.03.2016 19:22:57] VFK|Sitnyik.Sotomayor: So I heard you didn't like my comrade....
[25.03.2016 19:23:07] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Please explain.
[25.03.2016 19:23:28] VFK|Sitnyik.Sotomayor: He said you insulted him and demanded some cargo he didn't feel like to hand over...
[25.03.2016 19:24:05] VFK|Sitnyik.Sotomayor: Care to explain what your problem was?
[25.03.2016 19:24:15] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Then he must have had contraband, as defined in Guild laws.
[25.03.2016 19:24:29] VFK|Wolfgang.Spielman: Must have been that I didn't give him my drugs.
[25.03.2016 19:24:38] VFK|Sitnyik.Sotomayor: Let me explain it to you slowly so you understand
[25.03.2016 19:24:46] VFK|Sitnyik.Sotomayor: We don't give a damn about Guild laws.
[25.03.2016 19:24:54] VFK|Wolfgang.Spielman: Sums it up.
[25.03.2016 19:24:59] GMG|Keiji"Namura: Guild laws are supreme in Guild space and to be observed at all times.
[25.03.2016 19:25:12] VFK|Wolfgang.Spielman: We observed it.
[25.03.2016 19:25:18] VFK|Wolfgang.Spielman: We decided that we don't care.
[25.03.2016 19:25:26] VFK|Wolfgang.Spielman: Time to pick him off.
[25.03.2016 19:25:35] VFK|Sitnyik.Sotomayor: So fast? Right
[25.03.2016 19:25:50] Gas.Collector: Oh hi
[25.03.2016 19:25:55] Gas.Collector: Looks like you need some help
[25.03.2016 19:25:58] Gas.Collector: Time to help!
[25.03.2016 19:26:02] GMG|Keiji"Namura: I am under fire. Please assist.

It is imperative that the origins and motivations of these people be determined immediately, in order to ensure the security of Guild space. All Guild ships should be vigilant of any ships carrying VFK| identification, as it is highly likely this is indicative of a hostile group that has a grudge, for reasons unknown, against GMG.
Some time later, a Corsair ship was found loitering near the trade lane between Helgoland Station and the Frankfurt jumpgate. It had already suffered damage from an unknown source, and was swiftly neutralised before it could cause any real trouble. Any Corsair activity is cause for concern, and must be curtailed at any given opportunity.
