Stars greet you, Vin Chenzo.

From our chance meeting in Delta I know you to be an honourable, respectable, and rational individual. It is because of those attributes that I reach out to you now in the spirit of de-escalating the growing conflict within Freeport Eleven's NFZ.

As you know, Omicron Delta has become a warzone. Freeport Eleven is becoming entangled in that conflict. The main causes of this risk to Freeport Eleven is that Outcast vessels are using the Freeport for staging their operations against Corsair assets in blatant fashion, and Corsair vessels willing to breach the NFZ to engage them.

This staging is leading to breaches of the Zoner's NFZ regulations. Many of these are minor and, frankly, not the Concord's concern. What is our concern is violent action in close proximity to the Freeport. It has become a frequent occurance that Outcast vessels are drawing Corsair aggression to the freeport, or ignoring the request for civility as it 'does not apply to them'.

Regrettably, this is resulting in danger to the station's inhabitants and forcing Concord's hand into defensive measures we would rather not employ. This includes open-fire incidents between Outcast and Concord militia pilots. I share this, not to provoke, but to genuinely seek recourse and to avoid this situation happening again.

I ask for your help in de-escalating this situation within the NFZ. If you have any sway with the Outcast's leaders, I ask you to employ it. If you know who else I should be speaking to, please guide me to the right individuals so I may speak with them. A Freeport open to all, an oasis on the Frontier that can be enjoyed by everyone in serenity, is a precious and valuable asset to all of sirius.. and we risk loosing it for the convinience it provides in the current conflict.

The Concord is not Freeport Eleven. We are not it's administrators, and ultimately it is their choice who they harbour and who they turn away. It is their laws we uphold impartially, not our own. The Concord recognises the brave actions of Outcast pilots who have stood in the defense of Freeport Nine and the tragedy that occured there. We wish to ask Outcasts to be the honourable and dedicated souls we know them to be, and wish to remember them to be.

I also ask if there is any alternative to using the Freeport during the current siege. As the Core is fighting alongside you, could they afford to allow Outcast vessels to base from their stations instead of Freeport Eleven? It is my belief that, if this escalation at the Freeport were to continue, the administration may take matters into their own hands and I do not want current events to lead to a Freeport isolated from us all or... worse... another Freeport Nine.

I look forward to hearing from you. If you believe forwarding this communication onwards is appropriate, please do so.
White.
