Dear fellow Bounty Hunter,

With all due respect Sir, regardless of the situation between GMG and Outcasts, all Bounty Hunter capital vessels are to request permission before entering GMG territory and since you had been asked to withdraw from such, you should have complied. To enter Sigma-13 in knowing that the officials currently in that system may be treating you as hostile, you are asking for trouble and that is something which the Guild could do without. I doubt that the GMG would open fire on a Bounty Hunter without good reason, I assume the reason was that you did not withdraw upon request. Had you done so, these incidents would not have occurred, if I assume correctly of course.

We have a hard enough time navigating Sirius at will as it is, the last thing we need is a permanent expulsion from a lawful system. You must remember that all system-owning entities have restrictions on capital ships, whether that is of their own or of visitors. They also have the right to enforce their laws and to use discretion within grey areas of their regulations. Since Bounty Hunters have absolutely no claim to any GMG territory, we can only comply with such.

Furthermore, I am reluctant to believe that you are in a position to speak for the BH Guild or Core and as such, I am deeply worried by the sentiment of this statement...

The Bounty Hunters are not willing to cause trouble with the GMG, but we wont ignore your behavior much longer.

...because GMG may well regard this as a threat. I for one have no desire to regard GMG as hostile, neither do I want to be regarded as an enemy. Until the Guild or Core determine GMG to be hostile, they are indeed neutral to all Bounty Hunters. So please, when allied or neutral authorities of the system you are in give you an order, I hope that you will fulfill it so as to maintain non-hostile relations.

In closing, I must note that I do sympathise with your position and that it may seem like you were excluded whilst the Outcasts were given a better treatment. If that is the case, I'm afraid we can do nothing about it.

Regards,
CJ.
