Corsair,

One would think that you and your people would have finally acquired a measure of humility following the embarrassing loss of Reincarnation Outpost at the hands of the Core and the Zoners and their bold incursions into the very heart of your would-be empire. But no, your kind knows no better than to posture and loudly proclaim yourselves masters of a corner of space that has not nor ever shall bend to your will.

The Order has tolerated your artifact trade out of sheer compassion for your people's lot. An error that is now being corrected. Advise your smugglers to comply with the Order's directives, so that unnecessary bloodshed may be avoided.

In service to humanity,
Pendergast
