Player Sanctioned: {SCRA}Navarin

[Dracontius]

I would like to appeal this sanction.
I was with another player in the New York system. I was playing SCRA and him an Outcast. We were being pursued by multiple players of the LSF faction. I did not RP message him, because he had already announced his intentions. I opened fire after he had already engaged the Outcast BS that I was with. They were beating us, I ran after we got split up. I was pursued and docked at a nuetral station. I now was RPing with him. A little banter about round 2. I undocked and now fought 2 of them in liberty cruisers. I was destroyed, told them well fought and logged off.

1. I was in a group with the ship they started firing at
2. They were chasing us and it made sense to me, them being LSF and chasing after us
3. I followed the rules and did not go out in that system for 2 hours or go after them with another character
4. Above it is stated that I told them to drop their cargo and them opened fire. I never do that with {SCRA}Navarin. I usually state "Hostile Warship inbound, commerce raiding, man your life pods". The Battlecruiser I am using states that it was built to break through the lines, which I interrupted to fill them same function as Uboats or German pocket battleships in WW2.
