Finn,
Nice to see you up and about again, never unwelcome. The Corsairs, lovely topic. You know as well as I do they are unsavory to say the least. Months ago we had a run in where they stole a number of our Power Cells when one of our movers, with escort, had them demanded by Corsair capital vessels in lue of "broken laws" they could not produce evidence of, and rather than struggle with the stubborn animals I let our fail-safes do the heavy lifting, and abandoned their recovery, as they were unwilling to return 100% of the stolen property. I turned to acquire some new allies if things turned sour, but that's what I left it at. There is some suspicion of "under-the-table" work for recovery, as additional units have been accounted for without production, but I lack proof other than some marginal error in accountability, which could have easily occurred separately. Aside from that, Port Carthage was an installation built within the NCLE partnered with OSI to produce an economic hub around Freeport 11, and they joined in siege of it regardless of our clarifications, abandoning all reason. We turned to defend our assets, and it seems they were sour about one particular instance of destroying one of their ships, as well as relocation of three of their capital ships from the no-fire zone around the Freeport. They have no evidence of the latter other than my voice over public comms, which would not be substantial evidence in any reasonable court. Every action I've taken to prevent hostilities has been viewed as hostile action, and it is "unreasonable" for a group, such as ourselves to attempt to preserve our assets.
