To: Planet Pygar & Corfu Base Administration

[RedEclipse]

Mr. Black,

I have returned to you as the situation became clearer in terms of future developments and will be happy to answer all your questions.

Phoenix's vision for Pygar planet and Corfu station has not changed in years, despite the reshuffling of personnel within our organization. We are primarily interested in the security and predictability of the colony's future, while the treaty with the Corsairs provides for capitulation to the aggressor and a blurred future - we cannot know how long the Corsairs will tolerate the current status quo and situation alike with Freeport 9 may repeat itself.

With all due respect to the various groups with interests on the planet Pygar, we have a rich history with the Corsairs and it may be diametrically opposed to the groups that signed a treaty with them. The Corsairs are almost as non-contractual as the Nomads. And while we have also had agreements in the past, on behalf of the Zoners Trading Consortium, they were unilaterally canceled as the Corsairs were losing interest in honoring them.

Not all of our decisions can be completely transparent, due to the specifics of the region, when it comes all about security. Our citizens can rest assured that everything is being done for the good and peace of mind of our colony. Despite the turbulent times, I believe that together we can overcome them, preserving our security and independence from invaders.
