Greetings,

This is an open communication to both parties.

First of all, TAZ are not in the least surprised about the recent events in Delta regarding FP11. The foolishness by the CoF in allowing a Core base to be constructed in FP11's NFZ is incomprehensible and clearly naive, the consequential response from the Order is completely predictable.

I warned the CoF of this inevitable outcome in earlier discussions, apparently to deaf ears, so intent were the CoF on sealing a deal with the Core about trying to prevent further attacks on FP11.

So, At this point TAZ will stay outside of this conflict, whilst supporting the remaining citizens of FP11 as best we can and maintain our diplomatic relations. We will certainly not be participating in any unfriendly actions against the Order, with whom we have a very cordial relationship.

Regards,

MJR
