Administrator McCool,

The Guild recognises your plight and condems the Core's actions taken against you. Endangering civilian lives is reprehensible, and the behaviour of the edgeworld paramilitary is wholly unacceptable.

Unfortunately, it would appear an issue involving The Guild has arisen. According to one of the messages sent in this channel, it seems there is a potentially misappropriated GMG ship in use. As such, we must conduct the relevant inquiries.

In the meantime, our thoughts are with you.

Hello everyone. My name is Erica Starr, captain of the Fearless "Hotel World's End".

My sister Diana was heavily involved in the dramatic situation yesterday, and I immediately relocated the Hotel out to Delta when I heard. Not a moment too soon as it turned out, as the Core launched another brazen assault.
Even going so far as to claim the Freeport as "theirs".
This time though, we were better prepared, and inflicted casualties on their first wave until we were forced to withdraw.
Jane Shepard has captured evidence of the first assault here.

As those of us remaining were regrouping, a huge Corsair fleet arrived to aid us - and I can truly say that today is a day every Zoner should be grateful for the Imperio's longstanding friendship. Our combined fleet beat them back and even managed to give them a taste of their own medicine, as heavy fire rained down upon Yaren and the Battleship Bellona.

We'll not be pushed down any longer. Let that be known.
