Centurion Skyelius stated a very critical point. The Yanez family, as well as many other Corsair families, are each bound to their own codex of honor. One of the highest crimes a Corsair can commit is to break the codex their family is bound to. What I want to tell you, hermanos and hermanas, is that I don't see those who break the codex of honor as full-blooded Corsairs. But I will respect such as full-blooded Corsairs again if they prove themselves honorable and take care for equality in every fight.

A Corsair's ship should show the amount of respect he has earned in his years, not the wealth he has gathered with some shady operations. My heart is filled with pride whenever I see a young Corsair telling excitedly of his victorious fight against an Outcast fighter. It gives me the feeling that the traditions of the old Corsair Nation still live on. But I am always ashamed when I spot a Corsair coming out of his escape pod, his gunboat destroyed by an enemy bomber in a fight which he should actually win. He could have spent the money for food rather than a gunboat...

Therefore, I agree with Centurion Skyelius to end this outragous situation once and for all, either with words or with swords. I will not see the dearly beloved nation I grew up in gets corrupted by the dishonorable half of our selves again.
